Chapter 15

Luca

Satisfaction rolls across my shoulders as I hold Carina against me, her damp hair clinging to her flushed cheeks and neck. The swell of her breasts against my chest has my cock hardening again, and I know—I’ll never get enough of this woman.

She pushes her hair aside as I stand and finish buttoning up my pants and then make my way into the bedroom, where I retrieve a plain white button-up from the closet.

Returning, I see that Carina has her trousers back on and is trying in vain to fasten the bra that I sliced through. She glances at me and tosses the bra aside, and I hide a smile. It’s one thing I love about her—her boldness. She isn’t shy. She doesn’t get awkward after sex. I hold the shirt out to her.

“There may be something you can do to help.”

She takes the shirt, sniffs it, and, satisfied, slips it on.

When she finishes buttoning it, I continue. “But I need you to be careful.”

Already I’m regretting even considering giving her a task to do. But keeping a woman like Carina locked up isn’t possible. So, I need to give her something to do to keep her away from the Pits.

“What is it?” She straightens the shirt and pulls all her hair back as if she’s about to tie it up, but she releases the long strands instead. My fingers twitch, wanting to touch them.

“Did you notice the fighters in the Pits? I mean, the type of men they were recruiting.”

Fire lights up Carina’s gaze. “Yes, the vulnerable. The homeless. They were down on a lower level.” She folds her arms across her chest. “Fucking cowards.”

So much pain is held in the words, hurt for all the men like her brother, those who have died, and those who will continue to die if we do nothing.

“They’re gonna need fresh recruits for the weekend. They’ll either pull from who they have on that lower level, or they’ll start looking elsewhere to restock, so to speak. So, you could keep an eye on some of the nearby homeless shelters. You know the type of men to look out for.”

“Yeah, I know the ones. Hungry. Desperate.” Carina walks to the small loveseat and sits down, her jaw tight.

“What about you?”

“I have a meeting.” I check the heavy silver watch on my wrist. A meeting I will be late for if I don’t leave now.

“I’ll let you know what I find,” Carina says.

I nod and return to the bedroom, gathering my suit jacket. I pause at the door, one hand on the frame. “I’ll have two men with you at all times. I’m just taking one.”

“There’s no need,” Carina says from the couch. “I’ll be fine. They don’t know where I am.”

I take a half step toward her. “Don’t argue with me,” I bite out. She can’t make anything simple.

“I can take care of myself, Luca.”

Once again, I see the bullet hole where Carina’s head had been in the car. The blood pouring from her dog.
