CHAPTER 26
Sean
A fucking reporter, for Christâs sake. What the hell am I supposed to do with that bombshell? Sheâs right to assume Iâd have killed her. If she were anybody else I would have. I donât need a psychologist to explain it to me. Sheâs the most beautiful woman Iâve ever seen. Her eyes haunted my fucking dreams after seeing her for all of a minute in the park. Her petite height, toned body, and deep brown hair basically walked out of any sane manâs fantasy.
Then I met her. The fire and determination when my men found her at the warehouse, her utter commitment to not being anyoneâs victim astounded me. Iâve never seen a woman fight with her body and survive with her soul. Sheâs smart and funny. Grown men would collapse into sobbing mush at the shit sheâs been through and she not only didnât, she kept making jokes.
And fuck, the way it felt when she was bent over my knee, the way her gorgeous ass blossomed pink and red with my hand prints.
But what the hell was she thinking getting involved with the fucking Bratva? When I think of how close she was to that sadistic bastard, how she could have been hurt, I want to rage and break everything in the goddamned room. Iâve been attracted to women before, Iâve fucked them, Iâve taken care of them, but never before have I had the overwhelming need to protect one, to keep her safe and warm in my bed.
It was painful to leave tonight. Iâve never been so angry or turned on in my life. I wanted to bend her over my desk, spank her ass until she apologized for every lie and every time she put herself in danger, and then bury my cock in her hot pussy.
But when Patrick called with the update, leaving was required. Some of my men were in the hospital. I have always, and will always, take care of family. From making sure that the security around our men is tight, so they can actually rest without being afraid of their enemies coming in to finish the job, to supporting the families, to reminding the medical staff who these men belong to. Itâs twofoldâitâs the right thing to do, but itâs also good for business and breeds loyalty. Men who know that the mob will take care of them and their family are loyal.
Luckily the boys arenât too banged up, though it sounds like the Russians were. We hit another one of their shipping warehouses, but they expected us this time given recent events.
Iâve only been gone a few hours, but it feels much longer when I finally pull back into the garage. I see Liam standing guard outside the lift. Which would be fine, except Liam is supposed to be at the other end. Protecting Roxanne.
âLiam! What the hell are you doing down here? Why the fuck arenât you upstairs?â
He pales. âOh, well, since you had Jimmy come to supplement the security he figured it would be better to have one of us down here and heâd stay up there.
