Chapter 11 - Seth

The pitcher of Bloody Mary was just what Seth needed in the morning once Domenico finally left. To say that things were tense between them would have been an understatement. He was so self-conscious about his appearance that he’d called Natalia and asked her to leave the villa out of the maids’ schedule until further notice. The bruise spilled to half his face, his tongue still ached, and all he wanted was to sulk alone, without anyone seeing the signs of his husband’s temper. Which meant that there would be no crossbow training until the discoloration faded.

Mark hadn’t even showed up in the morning, and a part of Seth believed it was for the better because he was ashamed of what Mark had witnessed, ashamed of the humiliation he’d suffered yesterday. And the fact that his morning wood had been hindered by the cock cage, and he awoke to an ache in his dick had not helped his mood at all.

Giulia needed a single look at him to decide Seth and Angelica should be separated until Seth healed. She had a lot more to say, but he didn’t want to hear any of it.

Laid out on a sun chair by the pool, he let the liquor and the heat cook some of the anger and bitterness out of him. Because what else could he do? He had no friends here, no one he trusted outside of his closest family. Even Miguel could be a bit of a wild card.

He yelped when Caterina, one of his favorite chickens decided to land on his stomach out of fucking nowhere.

“What is wrong with you?” He yelled and pushed her down, getting up abruptly and spilling some of his drink. “I let you out to roam and this is how you repay me? Jesus Christ…” He rubbed his bare stomach where her claws had scratched him and looked at the other chickens watching him in alarm from a far-off spot in the garden. “Come here.” He sighed and picked up Caterina, glaring into her mindless eyes. “You can’t find any food, or what? Am I supposed to dig up worms for you now?”

She gave a sharp cluck and hid her neck in her wings, completely calm under his arm.

“Let’s find your friends. Look how many you’ve got. You’re not stuck like me. You can talk to them whenever you like. Maybe I should get you girls a rooster.” He stroked her smooth feathers and started walking through the warm grass. It always calmed him down to interact with his birds, and he sure as hell needed that today. It wasn’t even the pain in his jaw that hurt so much. It was the disrespect from Domenico that was a constant throbbing ache and made Seth feel as small as never before.

He was supposed to be Domenico’s partner, yet his yearning for protection had been taken so far he didn’t know anymore whether he was safe or trapped. No amount of luxury items in their house could change that.
