The sight makes my chest swell. Not only does Rosa have a huge smile on her face but color has returned to Lila’s cheeks, and she’s eating well.

I hate that I had to do this to her, lock her up like a prisoner. But it was the only way to ensure her safety, and I will do anything I need to make sure she’ll forgive me.

Clearing my throat, I walk into the kitchen.

Lila looks up at me, and her eyes turn molten.

I smirk, letting my eyes fall to her pouty lips.

Every night for the past week I’ve crawled into bed with her, taking her in every way I can until we both pass out from exhaustion. It’s been heaven, but I have to keep reminding myself that the only reason Lila is even here is because of Lorenzo.

Who has gone silent over the past few days.

I had Dez and Sloan try to track the Range Rover that was following me, but they came up empty. There’s also been nothing regarding the man we left with a message carved into his chest at The Vault.

It’s unnerving.

Lorenzo will be planning something, but until that happens, Lila and Rosa will stay in this house where I can see them. Where I can keep them safe.

Rosa smiles. “Morning. There’s fresh coffee.”

I smile at my sister and stroll over to the coffee pot and pour myself a cup.

“What are you two talking about?” I lean against the counter.

“Lila was giving me some book recommendations.” Rosa grins.

“Oh, yeah?” I look at Lila who offers me a shy smile. “Like what?”

“Nothing you’d like.” She glances at Rosa who bursts out laughing.

“They’re all smutty romances, not your taste at all.” Rosa giggles.

“They shouldn’t be your taste either,” I warn her. “You’re fifteen.”

“Lila says she was reading them at thirteen.”

I glare at Lila, but she only laughs at my expression.

“You left me alone with her.” Lila holds up her hands. “You can’t blame me.”

“She was also telling me all about her college days at NYU.” Rosa laughs. “College sounds fun.”

“You’re not going to college. You can take online classes here.”

Rosa rolls her eyes and nudges Lila with her elbow.

“See what I mean?”

“Ok, enough. I don’t want to have to separate you two.”

“Spoil sport,” Lila mutters, taking a sip of her tea.

I catch the gleam in her eye, and my cock twitches in my pants. “Do you need reminding who’s in charge here?”

Her tongue darts out to moisten her lower lip, and she dips her head.

My hands itch to touch Lila. Teach her a lesson. “Rosa, go to your room.”
