Page 90 of The Devil Can Be Kind

Feeling a combination of bravery and daring, I scooted closer to him, running my hands up the front of his knees and onto his muscular thighs. I raised myself up, still on my knees but his crotch now completely in line with my face.

“You want to fuck me.” It wasn’t a guess. He’d already told me as much numerous times already. The heat of his gaze didn’t waver as my hands continued their slow caress of his thighs. The heat between us caused me to shiver, but I ignored it. “Only you. No one else.”

“No one else,” he agreed.

I smiled softly at the confirmation.

Don’t say it. Don’t say it. DO NOT SAY IT.

“But did it ever occur to you thatIdon’t want to fuckyou?” My voice may have been gentle, but it provoked a harsh response.

Before I knew it, he had dragged me to my feet, hooking his hands behind my elbow and lifting me like I weighed no more than a sack of potatoes. Our bodies pressed together tightly. Inescapably.

“You’re a fucking liar.” His lips pressed to my ear. “I don’t know what game you’re playing, but I told you I wasn’t playing games anymore.”

“Is that why you fucked someone else last night?” I bit back.

Surprise made him falter a second before an angry noise resonated in his chest. Realization dawned on his face.

I pulled away. “I won’t be treated like an option. Not even by you.”

MARCO

I let my arms fall to my sides as she scooped up the mat and her phone from the floor. She shuffled past me without a second glance, and I couldn’t help the flex in my jaw as I burned in frustration.

How could she think I was treating her like an option?I couldn’t even if I’d wanted to.

I hadn’t slept with anyone since Ada threw my domes out and that was well over a month ago. I might have slipped up a few times, what with Lexi kissing me at the club and last night…butfuckI was doing my best.

Last night hadn’t amounted to anything anyway.

One of my regulars from before, Sofia, called me up as she heard I was back for my cousin’s wedding and asked to meet up. My balls were so blue they were almost fuckingblack, so I went. She was a sure thing. She always was.

What I hadn’t banked on though, was the shiver of disgust that trilled through me when her lips were on me. I couldn’t get out of my head Ada’s watery blue eyes. The way they always looked so innocent or the way her mouth tasted when I’d explored it. I couldn’t go through with Sofia because it wasn’ther.

I was starting to think Ada had tainted every other woman for me, but what was perhaps more unnerving was that I didn’t think that stain would ever come back out.

I sighed and turned, taking the steps back up to the terrace two at a time.

I hadn’t missed the watchful eyes of my men as I’d approached Ada, but I couldn’t let her continue making a spectacle of herself. Flashing her tight ass around like a bunch of hypersexual men weren’t within a hundred-yard radius…if I had let it continue, I’d have shot about ten of them dead by now.

The look of approval that greeted me back on the terrace made me realize justwhatit had looked like to them. Not that I could blame them for assuming she had sucked me off.

She had been on her knees and her face only inches away from my dick.

The mental image of her big, bright eyes looking up at me so close to my crotch made me want to sack off this bullshit meeting, track her down and fuck her in that vicious little mouth of hers. Not that she would let me.

I would be so fucking lucky.

Instead, I focused on pouring out a large whiskey and took a swig. After a few moments, Jesse came up beside me with a smirk.

“Looking a little rough there, Brother,” he said, running a hand across his face to hide his amusement.

“Shut the fuck up.” He laughed but the edge in my voice kept him from saying anything else.

I was more frustrated than I ever remembered being, and the sole reason for that frustration was upstairs probably easing out of her hotpants, freeing the mounds of her bubble butt… My dick twitched.Fuck me.

“Marco, my man!” Carlos, one of my distant cousins, drawled. “Fucking that old bastard Alberto’s daughter; sly move Cuz. Well played.”
