Iâd fucked her and she was still just as much of a distraction as she had been on that first day. More of one if I were being completely honest with myself.
Leaving my sister with Raine hadnât been my original intention. I had meant to get Sofia settled so she could wait until I came back, but then Raine had walked up, and all prior planning had gone out of the window as I fought the urge to respond to her in the manner that I wanted to.
Even leaving the hotel like I was, a big part of me wanted to turn around, walk back to that desk, and continue with Raine as I had been doing before I forced myself to peel away and attend to my business. My sister hadnât proved to be the deterrent I would have expected her to be.
As it was, I already knew I would be facing the inquisition from her over what little she had already witnessed.
I left the front entrance, my mind still occupied, only to run into a grinning Lorenzo waiting for me just outside the doors.
Double fuck.
âSo Sofia is going to be in town a while?â he asked as he fell into step beside me, his tone curiously cheerful. Too cheerful, considering the reason that Sofia would be staying in the hotel, but I knew that wasnât what was making him grin so widely.
Heâd undoubtedly been informed by DeAngelo that it had been Raine in my bed the night that theyâd come barging in with the information concerning the DeLucas.
âWeâll see,â I answered ambiguously, leaving him no room to work in further questioning without having to be direct about it.
Not that I thought that would stop him. âAh, and Raine is babysitting her, then?â he continued, unperturbed by my warning glance as we both got into the back seat of the waiting SUV just in front of the hotel. âThatâs a lot of trust for such a new hire . . .â
I glanced at him again, shaking my head as the vehicle pulled away from the curb, angling away from downtown.
Lorenzo laughed, leaning back into his seat, and looking at me as if I had just shared some great secret with him. âI see why she was off-limits now,â he muttered.
I wanted to be irritated with him for pushing after I had already warned him off, but the way that he said it make my own lips twitch, my head shaking slightly as I looked out at passing traffic. âLascia perdere,â I gusted, unable to even sound upset with his line of questioning.
âIâm not going to drop it though,â Lorenzo teased with a nudge of his elbow. âI wanted the girl, and you made it sound like my fucking her would somehow ruin her for business, and now here you are . . .â
âMerda!â I snorted, chuckling slightly. âLorenzo, you know if you were anyone else, if I were anyone else, you would be dead, si? Jesus Christ, your mouth.â
