I NEED A BOTTLE OF whiskey and a lot of patience to deal with Devious. The last two weeks heâs been getting on my last nerve, making me wait on him hand and foot.
We didnât speak about what happened between us the night he spanked me, instead we move through the days as if nothing happened. Some nights, heâll wake up screaming at the top of his lungs and it shakes me to the core. Iâll ask him what he is dreaming about and heâll tell me to stay out of his business. So, I leave him alone for now, because it can be my way to manipulate him. Maybe Iâm way over my head if I think I can manipulate Devious. Heâs smart.
A few of his underbosses walk into the manor at odd hours of the night. Iâve seen Papa here a few times and he doesnât bother saying anything to me and I donât either. As far as Iâm concerned, heâs dead to me. I wait by Deviousâs study, sitting on the floor, waiting for him to finish with his meeting. I want to go outside and breathe fresh air. When the doorknob turns, I jump up, dusting off my dark jeans. Two soldiers walk out, and I hurry into the office, Devious rests his arms on the edge of the desk.
His dress shirt sleeves are rolled up to his elbows. My eyes trail to his veins in his arms and my mouth waters.
âCan I stand in the backyard?â
âIâm coming with you.â He stands up and we head outside. Once weâre outside, I inhale the crisp air as I close my eyes, then I open them, glancing at Devious. Heâs props in the metal chair, watching me.
âIâm bored out of my mind. Can I have a laptop?â I ask, my tone is uneven.
âNo.â
âWhat do you expect me to do all day?â I fold my arm across my chest, wrinkling up my white shirt.
âWatch television or read a book,â he responds.
âI donât want to.â
âThen youâre SOL.â
âWhatâs SOL?â I cock my eyebrow.
âShit out of luck,â he says, shrugging.
âDid you grow up here in the states or Italy?â
He gives me a once overlook then his eyes linger on my breast. âMy great-grandfather was the first one to arrive here in America and started the Italian mafia.â
I donât have a response, so I pick at the dead skin around my finger. âYou never ask me anything about me? Donât you want to get to know me?â
âI already know everything I need to know about you,â he says.
âYou donât know anything about me.â
âYouâre sneaky, reckless, underhanded, spoiled entitled brat, but your heart is the size of the ocean and you are nurturing. When I fuck you, you let go and become your real self. Not, this nice girl whoâs ready to betray every chance she gets. Youâre a pain in my ass and sometimes I wish I had snapped your neck.â
âGee, thanks for the compliment,â I say, playfully punching him in the arm. Devious is observant but doesnât let on.
