He placed the towel on his shoulder, then cupped my face. “Baby, you were drowning her. You almost killed her.”

A shiver swept up my spine. “I just wanted to prove a point.”

He sighed. “What point?”

My brows lifted. “That you’re mine.”

“You don’t have to prove anything to anyone. You’re Ryah Conti and you’re my woman.”

His lips overtook mine.

My bottom lip throbbed. I guess she socked me in the mouth, too. I had to give it to Meg, she wasn’t afraid to fight me.

I pushed Rocco back and placed my fingers over my lips. “Ouch. It hurts.”

I touched my hair. The bun was no longer sitting on the top of my head. It hung loosely on the side. Rocco released my curly hair.

“Do you want to go upstairs and go to sleep?”

I did, but I wanted to hangout as long as I could. It was his birthday. I couldn’t ruin it. If I were to go upstairs, it wouldn’t have been long before Rocco joined me.

“No, I’m fine.”

“You’re not.” He scowled.

“I’ll take you upstairs within the hour.”

“Toss the ball with the guys, Rocco.”

“Stubborn Ryah. Bed in a fucking hour,” he growled.

“So bossy.”

Rocco and the girls switched places.

“Ryah, girl. That was bad ass.” Yarlie smiled as she dipped into the jacuzzi beside me.

“You should’ve let us help.” Faith folded her arms and arched a brow.

Genevieve laughed. “Faith, you yanked the other two girls off of her. You got a few licks in before they fled the pool.”

We laughed.

“Thanks, Faith.” I gave a tiny smile. That was all I had. My face was on fire.

Unfortunately, in my world no one did something just for the hell of it. There was always something they needed in return.

“You deserve a drink.” Genevieve mixed vodka and cranberry juice in a red solo cup.

“Hell, I need a drink.” I lightly palmed my cheeks. “It feels like someone stomped on my face with a steel toe boot.

Yarlie’s eyes widened. “You should lie down.”

“You sound like Rocco.”

Genevieve placed the cup in my hand. “Well, he’s right.”

“We have an hour together. So, let’s make the best of it.”
