CHAPTER 9

ELIO

Zinnia is still in the bathroom when I slip out of our bedroom with a fucking spring in my damn step. This woman does things to me that I don’t even understand and yet crave with everything in me. She makes me feel unhinged and tethered in the same breath. How is it even possible?

She looked dazed when I told her she was moving in and left her with the memory of how her body responds to me. I barely touch her, and she blooms underneath my hands. It makes me feel more powerful than what has been granted to me through my bloodline and the blood I’ve spilled.

The moment I slide into my office, Lorenzo, Tazio, and Sergio are waiting for me. I know what needs to be taken care of before anything else today and the thought of it makes my blood boil again. When I sit in my chair, my hands gripping the armrests as I try and breathe through my need for control.

The room is silent as air saws in and out of my lungs and my eyes settle on Sergio. My voice is rough, the rage peeking out around the edges, “I’m sure she’ll be down to start her day soon.”

“Of course,” Sergio keeps his voice neutral as he nods and points to the top folder on my desk.

If I wasn’t so consumed with the need to know who the fuck thought they could put their hands on my woman last night, I would possibly smile. As it is, I can practically feel his blood bathing my skin and see him take his last breath by my hands.

When I open the folder, I grunt, “Fuck.”

Patrick O’Brien. The same man who Declan wants is the man who dared to touch my queen. As much as I want to kill the man, I can’t do that now. I can rough him up though and the knowledge has a feral grin spreading across my face.

“This is everything we know about him?” I look up at Sergio and then Lorenzo.

They’re brothers and if I know Lorenzo, which I do considering we’ve known each other our whole lives, he’s checked his brother’s work before he allowed it to be presented to me. I would expect nothing less and I trust both men to give me everything they have.

Even though I’m looking at Lorenzo, it’s Sergio who speaks, “Yes, Sir. I got his name last night and then I followed him when he left Sala.”

“Declan McCarthy contacted me about him a few days ago.” I look up and Lorenzo arches his eyebrow in question, but Tazio and Sergio keep their faces neutral; if they recognize the name, they don’t show it. “He’s the brother of someone Declan trusts and was working as a low-level bookie but was found to be skimming off the top. Declan called me to give me a heads up and asked me to keep an ear to the ground. I’ll let Declan know I’ve found his wayward thief before we pay him a visit.
