The boys pull out and move me so I’m straddling Maddox. I lower over him, and Ricky moves in behind me, spreading my ass cheeks before pushing inside of me again.

I beckon Alessandro to come closer, and he moves in beside the bed. I take his cock in my hand and stroke him, just like he was doing to himself. His eyes roll back in pleasure, and I know he’s already close. “Let me taste you. I want all of you inside of me at the same time,” I beg him, not even recognizing my own needy voice.

Ricky lowers his lips to my ear. “You dirty little girl,” he purrs. “Look what we turned you into.”

Over my shoulder I grin at him, loving his praise. Then I move slightly so I can take Alex in my mouth at the same time the other two are fucking me. I focus on sucking him so I don’t completely fall apart, because I don’t want this to be over. This is my idea of fucking heaven. The best escape from reality I could ever hope for. And I want it to last for as long as it can.

Chapter 18

Leaving a sleeping Alessandroin my bed back at my apartment, I throw on a pair of black jeans and a tank top then run a brush through my hair, fixing then twisting it up and under my blonde wig. I run my eyes over the list the four of us formulated yesterday. They’re finally working with me, and all I have to do is agree to marry Alessandro. Or fake marry him. I’m not sure how it’s all going to work yet, but his ring is on my finger again.

Dr. Northgate

Mayor Chambly

Detective Hops and Detective Carillon

Police Commissioner Palmer

Every name high-profile and very influential in Ravens Hollow. It’s not going to be easy to take them down, but it’s necessary. And the idea gives me a thrill of excitement. There is just one thing still playing on my mind. The boys said they hadn’t seen Geovani since I left. Where the hell is he then? Anagging feeling at the pit of my stomach tells me I need to find him.

I hope Sloane might be able to help me, but I also want to check in with her after what she told me yesterday. I creep out of my room before Alessandro wakes up. I open my front door but stop moving when I hear voices just outside her apartment.

“You need to be more careful. The last thing we need is trouble with the Morettis,” comes a man’s voice I don’t recognize. “There is already talk about Enzo fucking losing his mind. Why do you think Alex was able to take over so easily from him? He’s likely to think you’re a part of his downfall, out for revenge on Pia,” he continues, and I know whoever it is, she hasn’t confided in him what she did to me yesterday.

“You think I don’t know that?” she snaps back at him. “But I wasn’t leaving another poor girl out there on the streets for Enzo to destroy. The Moretti boys won’t hurt her. Or me, for taking care of her. They’re just pissed she left, but it’s damn obvious how much they all love her.”

That voice I do know, it’s Sloane. Whoever she’s talking to is trying to warn her off helping me because he’s worried about her. Maybe she does have a guy in her life after all.

“Hope you know what you’re doing. Bringing home stray animals to take care of was cute when you were seven, but…” He stops talking when I move into the hallway, his eyes lazily roaming over me with a scowl.

I recognize him immediately. Cruz Stryker, one of her brothers, not a guy friend. He’s the blond one, with a scar just above his right eye, the one I haven’t met yet. I can see he’s worried about protecting his sister, and I won’t hold that against him. She’s risking a lot to help me. But this fight for revenge is as much hers as it is mine.

“Hey, Viv, how was your date?” she asks, trying to fake a perkiness in front of her brother.

“Interesting.” I smirk, remembering yesterday afternoon. Those boys are a fucking lot to take in more ways than one. But I would quite happily work it out with them for the rest of my life if I had to.

Her lips tip up at the sides like she can read my thoughts. “I bet.”

I move toward them, her brother still watching me with a scowl on his face. What the fuck is his problem? “You must be Cruz. I’m Viv.” I hold out a hand in greeting.

He raises a brow. “I know who you are. You and your boyfriends bring any trouble to my sister, you won’t have to worry about Enzo Moretti, I’ll kill you myself.”

I give Sloane a look. “Understood,” I sass.

“Cruz,” Sloane warns her brother, moving around to my side, tugging me to her as we walk back toward my place. “I know how to take care of myself. Go worry about someone else.” She waves him off. He takes one last look at me, his eyes narrowing, then turns the corner on his way to the elevator.

I push open my door, letting us both inside my place. “He’s friendly.”

“Probably best you stay out of his way. He’s hella protective over me. He thinks just because we shared a womb, he has to protect me for the rest of my life.”

“Twin?”

She nods.

“I only have one brother. I can’t even imagine what it would be like to have four.”

She leans into my kitchen counter watching me. “Welcome to my nightmare. I will literally never have a boyfriend; they won’t allow it. Any eligible dude around runs scared as soon as he realizes who I am. It’s fucked up, sis. Seriously, count yourself lucky you found your harem or whatever it is you have going on. I’m going to be alone forever.”
