Chapter Seven

“Who the hell is he?” Derek asked when they got back to the apartment.

“Who?” Paola tossed her purse on the counter.

“This guy she’s dating. He sounds like a billionaire.”

“What does it matter? She said it’s not serious and she seems okay with it.” She came behind him and rubbed his shoulders and back, trying to relax him. Then she moved in front of him, wrapping her arms around his neck. She pressed her body close to his, her breasts against his chest. When she seduced Derek like this it always worked.

“But she shouldn’t be okay with something that isn’t serious.” He walked away from her, not taking the bait. “Cheyenne is an idiot and only goes for guys that are fucking assholes. I’m not going to stand by and watch it happen again.”

Paola tried to be patient with him. “I’m sure your sister has learned from her mistakes. And the fact she doesn’t take this new relationship seriously proves that she’s matured. She understands reality and doesn’t have unrealistic expectations.”

“I still don’t want to deal with it. They still have arranged marriages, right? Couldn’t I just set her up with one of those?”

Paola rolled her eyes. Then she pulled her dress over her head, standing in a purple thong and nothing else. She put her hands on her hips and stared him down, daring him to mention his sister again.

It was like Derek was blind. “Or why can’t she be a nun? God, I never want to have girls.”

“We won’t have kids at all this rate,” she said with a sigh.

“I need to know if this guy is a dick. I have to.”

Paola glared at him. “I’m trying to have sex with you and all you can think about is your sister!”

“Well, I’m worried.”

“There’s no reason to be worried. She’s a big girl. Let her find her own way. You can’t protect her from everything.”

He ran his fingers through his hair in frustration.

“Fine. If you don’t want a piece of this, I’m washing off my make up and putting on my sweatpants.”

Derek sighed then came to her. “I’m sorry. My head is elsewhere right now.”

She rubbed his arms. “After what Cheyenne went through with Ryder, she isn’t looking for anything serious. So let her have fun. Let her date some rich guy even if it goes nowhere. Let her figure out what she wants.”

“You make it sound so easy. “He stared at her, not really seeing her. “Why can’t she be with Bryce? Or why did Bryce have to turn her down? That guy ruined everything.”

“Just stay out of it,” she said firmly. “You don’t want to overwhelm her to the point where she doesn’t come to you for anything.”

“You’re right…I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay.” She rubbed his chest. “Now let’s get in bed. I’ll get your mind off of it.”

“That sounds like a good idea.”

She led him into the bedroom then pulled his clothes off. Then she pushed him on the bed. “I want to be on top tonight.”

He gripped her thighs.
