Chapter Eighteen

Vic

I’d managed to make it the entire day without seeing her. I watched. I definitely watched her. Hell, I knew when she grabbed a snack, bottle of water, when she used the restroom. And when she was in there a bit too long, I almost broke the door down only to hear the shower turn off.

I was in constant pain.

A shadow with a grimace.

Waiting in silence.

Watching.

Wishing.

It was pure hell.

Torture from the seventh circle.

And I endured. I had to. I had no choice but to protect her from everything. She had no idea how much she was worth. The mafia didn’t do things by accident. It was no accident she had been asked to watch the children.

No accident she had been invited into this home, into our lives.

This was no summer job.

This was life or death.

And I hated that her world would eventually come crashing down around her, revealing that everything she thought she knew about herself was a lie.

And I would help deliver the crushing blow.

Fuck, I hated my life sometimes.

The bathroom door opened. She was wrapped in the shortest towel I’d ever seen in my entire life. Water droplets slid down her legs. I suppressed a groan and almost bit into my fist to keep from saying something that would destroy the oath I’d made.

I might be an assassin.

But I was still a man.

With wants, needs.

Damn, it was bad timing. I was ready to explode, and I had to babysit a woman who would tempt anyone—especially a man who’d been celibate for three years.

I squeezed my eyes shut so I wouldn’t watch her ass as she walked back into my room and grabbed her clothes.

Slowly, I backed away, down the hall, and gazed out the large windows in the kitchen.

The gate was opening.

We weren’t expecting visitors.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I noticed it was Chase pulling in. I grabbed my gun just in case, and opened the front door.

He parked.

Got out of his Maybach.

And strolled toward me like he had all the time in the world, like snipers weren’t a real danger. He always believed that he was invincible. That nobody would dare hurt him considering the power he wielded within the Abandonato family, that paired with his scary political connections meant he could do anything he wanted and it would be covered up with roses.

Bleeding roses.

But roses all the same.

“Nice night, huh, Vic?” He grinned.

Swear the man was hell bent on torturing me ever since I’d followed him around his own house and accidentally seen his wife naked.

“Yup.” I crossed my arms over my gun. “Did you need something?”

He shoved his hands in his pockets. “Some fresh air, you?”

I glared. “We don’t do small talk, spit it out.”

“Are you alone?” He tilted his head and peered around me like he could see into the house, into my room, see the towel drop from her naked body into a heap by her feet, see her breasts jiggle with each step toward her clothes, see her bend over and—“Vic?”

“No.
