HER

I lean against the sink with the dumbest fucking grin on my face. My legs are shattered. My pussy is soaking wet. I can smell myself all over my fingers even though my hand is nowhere near my face, and I don’t know if I should wash them or not, wanting Varius to lick them clean.

He asked me to dance.

My grin widens. My cheeks now hurt, but I can’t stop the joy from leaking out of me.

Don’t be stupid, Micha. You know he stepped away when he left the toy on vibrate.

But still…

He “chased” after me when I stormed off, and I doubt Varius fucking Shadow chases after anyone.

He left your ass in the woods all night, the smart part of me counters.

He let me sleep. I sigh dreamily. I didn’t even have to make anyone dinner.

So what you’re saying is he let you go hungry.

Rolling my eyes at the pessimistic voice in my head, I turn on the tap. I hesitate before sticking my hand under it, thinking he might punish me for denying him the taste.

He might have to take me upstairs to get his fill then...

Picturing his head between my thighs, I shove my hand under the flow of water with a sly grin. Grabbing the soap, I apply it thickly. He did, after all, still act like a dick to me in public. My eyes narrow. And what the fuck was up with him touching her like they were lovers?

He had his hand on her arm, his lips near her ear. And I know what those lips can do.

I growl. The water around my hands starts to steam and boil, my magic bleeding through my skin.

He learned with you, Micha.

The jealousy in my chest eases a bit, knowing that she wasn’t a lover before me. I try to think who she is, having been forced to memorize most of the faces here before we arrived tonight. His thirteen capos. The other Bosses he invited, their Families dealing closely with his. The wives and girlfriends of those powerful men.

But her face comes up blank. Perhaps she is someone’s secretary. Or a new mistress. Maybe she is a party crasher and he was telling her she better get outta here before he killed her.

I smile at that. Then my lips fall as I realize the security in this place is top-notch. I recognized half the waitresses as high members of our Family, esteemed killers who get paid even better than I. Andrea Turner. Jaclyn Hoscheid. Sharee Smith. Fuck, there’s no way an assassin of my skill level got in with just one of them on watch, let alone all three of them. If I actually got round to planning who to hire to kill Varius...those badass fatherfuckers would’ve been in my top five.

So who the hel is she?

Feeling the need to break something, I head for the door. Just as I grab the handle though, I pause and take a breath. As pissed off as I’m getting, I’m still Varius’ fiancee.
