Please don’t tell me you have a hard-on for that woman!

I look at Damian for backup, but he’s just sitting back relaxing. His eyes slide to mine.“You wanted Titan to play with her? He’s going to play now. Be careful what you wish for.”

“I wanted Titan to intimidate her!” I don’t want to get rid of Nova myself. I don’t want to be the nail in the coffin again. First, it was Jared, then Dom, then I had to send Mila’s old roommate out of the country, along with a dozen other girls at school whokept flirting with me. I don’t want Mila to think I will take another person away. Jared and Dom deserved it, but I have to handle Nova differently. That’s why I thought Titan would scare the shit out of Nova and make her back down.

“Leave Nova to me,” Titan finally says as he cups his balls.

Oh no. I don’t like the sound of that, nor the look in his eyes. It’s lust; shit, he’s practically glowing with it.

“I’ll keep her busy and away from Mila.”

Yeah, that’s not what worries me now. I know how we operate, and that look in your eyes tells me Nova isn’t going anywhere.

Looks like you’ve found your obsession, cousin.

Fuck!

???

A few weeks later.

I look at Titan and shake my head. His eyes are sparkling with so much shine it looks like Nova rolled him in glitter. He’s her toy, not the other way around. I’ve been watching her manipulate my cousin, slowly wrapping him around her finger.

I wanted him to get rid of her, not make her a permanent item on our circle.

I feel like I’m climbing a mountain with a fraying rope. Mila is playing games with me, my father is demanding I take on more roles in the family business while attending university, the brotherhood still needs more time until we try to over throwthose controlling us, and now Nova is a constant pain in my ass, always pushing my buttons.

Now I have to deal with today! We had to fly into the city to meet with our dads and Mila’s. It’s not unusual since Greg oversees the contracts for us, but I still can’t stand being in the same room with Greg.

I glare at Titan as we wait for the elevator to open. He’s obsessed, lost his goddamn mind. He’s stalking Nova, follows her all around campus, but then again, she’s stalking him.

He’s warned the entire campus not to talk to Nova or else…

So now Nova only talks to Mila, which is the complete opposite of what I wanted.

“Pissing on her would be less territorial,” I mutter.

Titan, who has been humming a synchronized tune to the elevator music, abruptly stops as he glares at me.“What was that?”

“Nothing,” I grind my teeth.“It’s just good to know you’re more loyal to your dick than your blood. Have fun with your cock because Nova will probably cut it off and then shove it down your throat.”

Damian laughs as he leans back against the wall.

“You wanna say something?” Titan raises a brow. “Say it.”

“Why can’t you fuck her and move on?” I suggest.His blue eyes darken.

See what I mean? He’s picking a chick over this blood.

“Leave Nova to me.”

I meet his glare.“That’s exactly what worries me, brother.”

“How are things with Mila?” Titan smirks.“Oh, did that question upset you? Swallowing your own medicine is bitter, isn’t it?”

“Come on, we need to look united when this door opens.” Damian hisses.

Ding!
