Chapter Twenty
It doesnât take us long to finish looking through the house the Irish fled from like the cowards they fucking are. I have the men pack up anything that may be of importance to us. Weâll go through everything and see if we can find anything that will help us hunt them down.
My mind is solely focused on Emilio as boxes are taken out of the house. I frown at the way he keeps looking at his hand, despite having washed off his nephewâs blood. Iâm not the only one caught up in his reaction. Ignacio has been studying his fellow Boy with such care that my own possessiveness flares up. I grit my teeth against the feeling, despite wanting to pull Emilio to me and hide him away from everyone else.
âI think thatâs the last of it, Padrone,â Luca says flatly as he follows a soldier down the stairs. âThereâs some blood on a floor that appears to have been used as an office. It looks like they tried to clean it.â
The slump of his shoulders pulls me away from my worry of Emilio. I wonder if heâs thinking about Sebastian. Thereâs another possibilityâ¦one Iâm not sure any of us want to think about, even if it would be easier in some ways. Fucking Emilio. I donât want to feel this...fuck, compassion? No. Thereâs no fucking way. Itâs bad enough I obsess over my Caro, but I wonât let him change me.
Hmm...thereâs one thing that will get our minds off all of this. I grab Emilioâs arm roughly, ignoring his sharp indrawn breath, and pull him out of the house. Piling into the limo, none of us say anything. The Boysâ various expressions range from anger to defeat and fuck if Iâll let that happen.
Exiting the limo, I once again grab Emilio and drag him into the house. The tenseness I feel in him tears me in two, but I refuse to let the weakness overcome my plans. Stopping abruptly, the Boys surround me. In the silence, they bow their heads, waiting for my decision. âIgnacio and Antonio, take whoever you need. I want those boxes examined. Luca and Emilio, come with me.â
Luca and Emilio follow me up the staircase silently, right to my wing, and the moment I stop at my playroom, both of their breathing patterns change. I turn to inspect them, wanting to gauge where they are mentally. Emilioâs eyes dilate, shivering with need and starts leaning toward me. Luca...he shudders, but thereâs also fear rolling off him in waves. This. This is exactly what I need. Itâs also what they need too, and isnât that a fucked-up thought?
I open the door slowly and order them to enter. Emilio strides in, almost excited to begin. Luca walks slower, his head dropping immediately into submission. Both of them stop and wait for my command, and I feel the familiar thrill at the thought of taking these two men apart. Even if itâs the same as itâs been in the past.
