Page 49 of Filthiest Of Them All

She smiles sadly and nods. “I know. Just don’t let her memory be what destroys you. You owe her that much.” I jerk back and suck in a sharp inhale. Tatum grabs my hand and leads me toward the sofas and I let her push me down into one of the seats. It’s only then I notice she has showered and changed into a loose off the shoulder navy blue top and black jeans. “You girls joining us or what?” she barks. The guys all snicker but follow her order and claim the spare seats. When she moves to sit next to Omen, he spreads his legs and shoots her a scowl.

“You can sit your ass on his lap, everything happens in threes and so far that’s only strike two.” She cringes and shoots him a sheepish smile.

“Ah, well, you see, that was actually the third hit of the morning.”

Omen scrunches his face. “Who else did he hit?” he says as he looks around the room. I cross my arms over my chest and roll my eyes.

“No one.” All eyes turn back to her. “I may have kind of… sort of…” She huffs out a breath then straightens before continuing. “I hit him, okay?” The guys faces slacken.

“You… hit him?” Vat asks, laughter thick in his fucking tone.

She stomps her foot like a spoiled brat. “Yes. He pissed me off when he said something to Omen so I… lashed out.” All five of the cock suckers begin laughing. I run my gaze over each of them and make sure they can see the promise of pain in my eyes, but they all ignore it which only serves to piss me off further.

“Sit your ass down on his lap before he comes at us,” Pope rasps out through his laughter. Tatum huffs, then stomps back toward me, looking just as displeased about this as I am. She rolls her eyes, then drops into my lap. I hiss and grip her waist in a punishing hold.

“Ouch!” she whines and tries to pry my hands free. I shift her off my dick and shoot her a scowl.

“Next time you drop your ass on me, try not to crush my cock.” Her jaw slackens.

“I’ll break it next time,” she mutters beneath her breath. I pinch her side and she yelps.

“I heard that,” I growl.

“You were supposed to,” she fires back.

“Enough!” Vat shouts. “I don’t want to sit here and watch your brand of foreplay.” I grind my teeth and take a deep breath as Tatum swivels on my lap and throws her legs over the arm of the recliner and rests her cheek against my chest. I’m tense as fuck knowing that she is up to something and if I am right, I will throw her ass off me.

“Aww, Vat, don’t you want Mommy and Daddy to teach you all about the birds and the bees?” she coos. Vatican’s face pales. “You see, the man sticks his penis inside the woman’s vagina—” I clamp my hand over her mouth to silence her stupid ass remark. Her eyes are brewing a storm in them.

“Everyone in this fucking room is aware that mypenishas been inside yourvagina.” Her eyes fill with laughter and I narrow my own in warning. “Now, can you shut your vulgar ass mouth and let us get on with it?”

She pries my hand off her mouth. “They’ve also seen you finger my pussy.” I inhale and try to latch onto my patience. “But, we won’t talk about that,” she says in a mock whisper, then crosses her arms over her chest and stares at me expectantly. “Please, continue.”

I’m gonna kill her!

I’m going to wrap my hands around her perfect little neck and watch the air leave her lungs.

“Alex, you aren’t going to hurt her,” Omen hisses. I flick my gaze to him and frown.

“You just told us all how you plan to kill me,” Tatum whispers. I close my eyes and take a calming breath, choosing to ignore her and the itch to harm her. Killing her would be bad but the silence, fuck the silence would be bliss.

“What do you all want to know?” I ask after I get myself under control.

“For starters, why did you kill Roberto?” Pope asks.

The air rushes out of me. I knew one day they would figure it out and ask questions about their father’s death but I didn’t expect it to happen this soon.

“Six years ago I came back to the house with Carnage after a meeting we had in New Jersey with Carlito Vatel. When I went upstairs to my bedroom, I found her.” I may hate the vile bitch but even I can show empathy for what she went through.

“Who?” Halo pushes.

“Desire. She was in my room. At first I ignored her and told her I wasn’t in the mood for her bullshit. I locked myself in the bathroom, thinking she would be gone by the time I finished my shower. When I came out the lights were off, I thought she was playing one of her games. She wasn’t. I went to turn the lights on but she told me to leave them off, then asked me if I stood by the vow I made to her father.”

“What the fuck does she have to do with any of this?” Vat asks.

“Shut the fuck up and let him finish!” Carnage snaps.

“I told her to piss off and go find another one of your father’s men to screw.” They all scrunch their faces in disgust.
