Page 44 of Her Dark Obsession

“I thought you wanted me to touch your balls.” Aurora steps over top of him, before looking to the second guy. “You still want a night with me?”

He shakes his head and then he’s turning around and running out the door.

“Didn’t think so,” she calls after him as she makes her way over to me. “What about you?”

“Fucking always,” I tell her.

“What the fuck?” Patty slaps the back of my shoulder. “She’s a keeper. I don’t care what her last name is.”

“I know.” I smirk. My arm snakes around Aurora’s waist, and I pull her up against me.

“Someone get this piece of shit out of here!” Patty yells, kicking at the jock still screaming on the ground.

“You ready to find that room?” I ask Aurora.

“I was ready four hours ago,” she replies.

“Where’s your cousin?” I look around. I could have sworn Mabilia was here a few minutes ago.

“She left with Tommy.”

“Good. Let’s head back to the hotel. I’m going to make you scream my name tonight and I don’t want these horny fuckers to hear you. They’d be jerking off to the memory of your moans for the rest of their lives.”

“Is that what you do when I’m not around?” Aurora lifts a brow at me.

“Yup. You’re in the shower with me every morning.” I laugh.

Aurora looks back over a shoulder as we exit the house. “I like your friends,” she says. “You must miss being here.”

“I miss it less when I’m with you,” I admit. “I hated moving to New York, but then I met you, and suddenly I didn’t hate it as much anymore.”

Chapter Seventeen

“To the grave,” I whisper, joining pinkie fingers with Mabilia.

“To the grave,” she echoes.

We’re about to face the firing squad, so to speak. Both of our phones have been blowing up and we’ve been summoned home. Mabilia’s parents are at my house waiting for us. We had Tommydrop us off out front, because he does not need to be caught in the crossfire. We knew this would happen, and we did it anyway.

Worth it.I saw a totally different side of Connor last night.

He was in his element, in the city he considers home, surrounded by his friends. I’ve seen him hanging around with Kenny and Kenny’s friends, but I don’t think Connor has made an effort to really make any of his own. Well, besides me. Then again, I do tend to take up a lot of his time.

The minute I open the door, I hear the yelling. Mabilia and I share a look. Recognizing the voices immediately. Our fathers. It stops when we walk into the living room.

“Oh, thank god you’re home. Where have you been?” My mom wraps her arms around me tight. “Do not say anything smart-mouthed. Now is not the time.”

I nod slightly, acknowledging her warning.

“Where the fuck were you both?” This comes from my Zia Izzy. “Seriously, do you two have any idea what happens to young girls like you when you run off on your own?”

“Yeah, nothing because we’re not helpless, Mama. We can and will defend ourselves,” Mabilia says. “We just went to a party. It’s really not a big deal, and we kept the rule of two.”

“Just went to a party? You hear that, Mikhail? Our daughtersjust went to a party?” My dad paces up and down the living room, while my uncle stands perfectly still with his hands in his pockets.

“Whose party?” Zio Mikhail asks.

“I don’t remember. It was some random kid,” I tell him.
