He leveled a glare at me. “She deserves privacy.”
“Oh, come on! This would have been perfect!” I’d planned to lay her out on the bed, take my time with her, finally make good on my promise to make her scream. I’d planned to let Obi watch. We’d done it before, and I’d fully expected that he’d want to do it again.
But he’d fucked everything up by booking ustwosuites. Our suite had two separate bedrooms along with a living area and a fucking kitchen, but he had to go and get her an entirelyseparatesuite.
“They are adjoining rooms, Ryu,” he said, exasperated. “You will survive.”
“The fact they’re adjoining is the only reason I’m not throwing a tantrum,” I growled.Fuck. Ifinallyhad time with her without the bodyguard breathing down my neck.
Obi huffed, but said nothing.
“Maybe she’ll let me sleep in her room.” I snatched up my bag and stomped over to the connector door, but Obi grabbed my shoulder and yanked me backward. Instantly, I dropped the bag, and had a knife in my hand.
We stared at each other.
“Are you going to stab me, Ryu?”
I sighed and tucked it away again. “Reflex.”
“I will not let you intrude on her space,” Obi said. His voice was hard, final. “She has not slept on her own in weeks. Even at home, she and Caspian share a room. Maybe she wants a few nights by herself.”
I narrowed my eyes. “So thoughtful. Soscared?”
He turned away to unpack his clothes into the dressers. “What would I have to be afraid of?”
“If she was in our room, who do you think she’d choose to sleep with? Me or you?”
“I am aware she would pick you.”
“Exactly.That’swhat you’re afraid of.” I yanked open the bathroom door. I needed a shower. I needed to jerk off. I needed torelax. “I won’t let your issues ruin my fun.”
I peeled off my travel clothes and turned on the massive shower. This thing had room for at least three people, let alone the tub next to it, and he was going to deny me the opportunity to push her up against the wall?
Fucker. If he wasn’t my brother, I would have stabbed him.
I would fuck her in that tub and there was nothing he could do to stop me.
As I climbed in the shower and let the water run over me, the tightness in my shoulders finally lessened.
I wasn’treallymad at Obi. I just had too much energy and nowhere to put it.
We’d all seen the tension between her and him, and at first, I’d barely cared because it had nothing to do with me. But Obi’s choices were getting in my way, and that meant I had to step in.
My tongue darted over my lips.
I’d have to push them both.
In the ten years Obi and I had been brothers, he’d always striven to maintain his control, hide his true desires from the rest of us. What would he do if that control snapped?
I knew all the buttons to push.
An hour later, I’d showered, confirmed tomorrow’s visit with the realtor, and checked up on all my clubs. This property looked promising, and it relieved some of my anxiety to know that I would soon be expanding my businesses. More money was always a good thing.
I wanted to bury myself between her legs. I wanted my future set. On this trip, I’d get both.
A knock came from the connecting door. Just as I finished strapping on all my assorted weapons, Obi pulled the door open.
My chest tightened the moment I saw her, and I absentmindedly rubbed it. Fuck, Leona looked beautiful. Tonight, she wore her usual leather jacket, but this time, she paired it with tight ass leggings that hugged her every curve and thigh-high boots. As she stepped inside our room, I caught a glance of a knife peeking from the top of her boot. She’d refreshed her makeup, and braided her hair to the side. She looked ready for battle. Absolutelydelicious.
