Page 112 of His Enforcer

I sigh, and he grabs my hand and places it on his back. “Also, I’d love a back rub. I’m very sad.”

My hand absently rubs up and down his bony spine, and he sighs.

“Why did Teddy feel the need to block him?”

“Well, he said Georgiy is just playing games and that I’m better than that.”

I stare down at the top of Bane’s head. “Wait. How do you know what he says? Teddy never speaks.”

“I know ASL. Don’t you?”

He blinks up at me like this is something everyone should know, and I feel suddenly ashamed I don’t. I roll onto my back and sigh. “No, I don’t fucking know it. What other languages do you speak?”

“I mean, you don’t speak ASL, you sign it. And the Deaf community has a really large population in the US. You should learn it.”

I peer over at him, and he shrugs.

“Okay, enough preaching. Um, what other languages? I knowSpanish. I’m learning Russian because, you know…Georgiy. Although, perhaps I shouldn’t bother with that after all.”

“I had no idea you knew so much, Bane.”

“I know quite a bit. I’m amazing.” He flops onto his back as well and stares at the ceiling. “Since I’m so amazing, can you suck my dick? I’ll be gentle, I promise.”

“No one is sucking your dick, Bane. You’ve had Viktor for long enough. I think it’s time you leave,” Luca says, appearing from the bathroom, his tattoos looking quite sinister in this light. I want to lick my way across his chest.

“Are you sure? We could manage a quick threesome,” Bane begins, but Luca points to the bedroom door.

“Get the fuck out.”

He sighs and then signs something I can’t make out before standing up, adjusting himself, and disappearing into the hallway.

“Let me know if you change your mind,” Bane coos as Luca slams the door.

He turns to face me and his lips quirk when he sees the sheets pooled at my groin, my abs flexed.

“Never thought I’d want a man, but your body…”

A grunt leaves me and I flop backward. I fling an arm over my eyes, letting those words penetrate me. Of course he likes my body. I work hard for it. It’s nice. But for some reason, I want more than just physical appreciation.

Luca steps toward me, and I can feel the whisper of his fingertips across my leg.

“…the way you fight me, your stubbornness, your resolve. It makes me want to break you. Own you. Even more than I already do.”

I move my arm off my face and stare at him.

“Now get the fuck up. We have to go meet Raphael. We need to approve the shipment he has, plus I have some questions for him.”

“And after?”

He chuckles, stroking my ankle. “Anthony messaged. When weget back, Lex will be here. He’s going to help us find Henry and we’ll find out if he’s tied to Pink.”

“Oh god, Lex. Last time he was here, I found a camera in the bodyguard bathroom,” I murmur, and Luca tugs on my leg, dragging me closer to the edge of the mattress.

“We’ll keep an eye on him. Now get up. We have to go.”

I roll up and do as he says, washing up and getting dressed in record time. As we’re leaving, Agatha hands us a paper bag with breakfast inside.

“For the cute couple. Luca was insistent you eat before you leave,” she says, which makes Tatum giggle behind his cup of tea, that little shit.
