"Sleep now, doll face. Your dad will be here in the morning." He kisses my head once more.

I smile, knowing that tomorrow, I'm going to have three men I love the most in this world under one roof. God, I've missed Da and Danny.

"Night, Rome, love you," I say on a yawn as my eyes droop.

Fifteen

ROMERO

I'm pissed. Beyond fucking pissed. I woke up ten minutes ago to find Holly no longer in bed with me, nor was she in the bathroom. Glancing at my watch, I see that it's almost noon. Fuck. No wonder she was gone from our bed. The smell of bacon and eggs hits me as soon as I open the bedroom door.

Making my way downstairs, the voices with thick Irish accents tell me that Holly's family are here. “Ah, Romero, you're awake, good,” Denis says when he sees me.

Holly’sat the stove cooking, a bright smile on her face. She looks relaxed, what happened yesterday pushed aside and now she’s dressed in my tee, and only my tee.

I stalk toward her,she follows my every step, not once taking her gaze from me. The smile she had frozen in place as she tilts her head to study me, no doubt trying to gauge my mood. Pissed. That’s what I am. First, she was gone when I woke up, that doesn’t fucking happen and now she’s standing in a room full of men wearing nothing but my tee.

“What the fuck are you wearing?”I ask her as I walk into her space. My words are snarled at her.

She frowns at me.She has a confused look on her face. “What's wrong, hon?”

Is she for fucking real? “Wrong?”I ask, my voice vibrating with anger. “Where’s your clothes?”

Her frown morphs into a scowl.“I'm wearing clothes, Romero!” She crosses her arms over her chest and glares at me. The fact that she called me Romero, tells me how pissed she is right now. “Whatever the fuck your problem is, take it elsewhere. I’m busy.”

I raise a brow,reminding her to remember who the fuck she’s talking too. “You’re in my tee,” I say clearly, “only my fucking tee.”

Her eyes flash with anger,it’s a sight to behold. Very rarely does she get angry and when she does, it’s beautiful.

“I’m wearing underwear,”she hisses at me. “This is my family. Our family. No one cares what the fuck I’m wearing. I shouldn’t feel ashamed of wearing clothes. Besides what the hell am I supposed to wear a bin bag?”

“Thatfucker not too long ago made it clear he wanted you, I do not want a repeat of it.”

She smirks at my words.“Yeah, well, I’ve had to deal with that whore making a play for you at every opportunity, but I don’t say shit to you about what to wear.” She shakes her head in disgust. “You can finish breakfast, I have to change.” She turns and walks away, leaving me standing at the stove wondering how the fuck she turned it around on me.

Laughter hasme turning and pinning a glare at my brother. “Where the fuck were you last night?” I ask Alessio, he never turned up at the warehouse.

I seeDante and Makenna share a glance, obviously they’re communicating silently. “What the fuck happened?” I demand.

“I’ll sort the breakfast out,”Denis says as he comes to stand beside me, “you sort out, whatever the fuck that is. My daughter loves you, Romero, she really does, don’t be an arsehole to her, she doesn’t deserve it. She was worried about you, Dante wanted to wake you as he wanted to organize the meet with Dimitri, but Holly wasn’t having any of it, she pitched a fit and made sure no one went near you, that you needed sleep.”

Fuck.

“You’re goingto be pissed when you find out what Alessio has to say and when Holly finds out she’s going to be hurt.”

I narrow my eyes,what the fuck happened?

I givehim a chin lift before moving toward my brothers. “Want to tell me what I’m missing.”

Makenna sighs.“This is where I’ll leave you be. I’m going to check in on Danny and Lissa.” She turns to walk away. “One of you are going to tell Holly, I’m not telling her. She’s dealt with that bitch enough.”

I narrowmy eyes on my brothers. “Someone had better start talking.”

“I fucked up,”Ales says, and I clench my jaw, how many times am I going to hear that?

“Last night, he slept with Georgina,”Dante informs me, and I pin my idiot younger brother with a gaze filled with hatred. “Not only that, he overheard her say that she’s going to get even with Holly for taking away her man.”

I clench my jaw.What the fuck is wrong with that motherfucking bitch? I never once treated her like anything but a quick and easy fuck. There was no finesse about it. A quick fumble whenever I needed to get my rocks off, or needed her mouth wrapped around my cock.
