Tati… it’s me. I’m fine.
Seconds later the phone rings in my hand.
“Hey.”
“Is it really you?”
“Yeah.”
“Where the hell are you? I’m so pissed at you. You just up and left. Your house looks like a tomb. Most of your things are still there. You even left dished in the sink. I thought… you’d been abducted. I filed a police report.”
I twist the ends of my shirt and take a deep breath. “I can’t stay on long. I just wanted to you to know that you were the best. I’ll never forget you, Tati.”
“Tell me where you are.”
“He has your phone tapped, doesn’t he?”
She goes silent for a few beats. “I’
Did never betray you. But he says you’re in danger.”
“Only from him,” I retort.
“No. He’s going loco trying to find you. Sebastian said he hacked into every surveillance and Ring door app within a hundred miles.”
“He’s not as good as he thinks he is,” I smirk.
“What happened?”
“He married a mafia princess. Tried to kill me when I was a tween and ripped my heart out…”
She inhales sharply. “I knew there was more than you ever said. I think the two of you are fated.”
“Ill-fated. Whatever. It’s done. Over.”
“not of he has anything to say about it.”
“I have to go. I’ve been on the phone too long already as it is.”
“Do you want me to give him a message?”
My eyes drop to the smoldering ash. “Yeah. How about go fuck yourself?”
“Ah, Little Red. I can’t wait to fuck you instead.” His voice is smooth in my ear, catching me off guard.
“I’m sorry, Romina.”
“You told her my real name?”
“I told her everything.”
“Seb has a way of seducing everything out of the girl.”
“That’s sick! Twisted! Let her go!”
My mind races as I recall all the photos of her looking up at Le Blanc with nothing but sweet adoration.
“It’s fine. I’m fine. I wanted it. Want him. He’s a drug.”
And what could I say? Because I know what Tati means. Roque’s touch did the same to me as Le Blanc’s is doing to her.
“Where are you, Red? Dragging this out will only make it worse for you.”
“How could it get any worse, Roque?”
He pauses. “Damn, I love the way my name sounds rolling off those lips.”
I hate myself. My nipples harden. My pulse is slightly faster. He still has so much control over me and I hate it. I want to knock him off his axis. Make his world tilt and make him burn for me.
“Do you remember… how I moaned it in your ear when you were inside me. Can you still feel the tip of my tongue against your skin, feel my breaths against you neck as you drove into me?”
“Romina.” His voice is strained.
“Pretty soon, it’ll be another man feeling and hearing all those things. I’m not going to let the ghost of who I thought you were dominate me anymore.”
“ROMINA!” This time my name is a roar. “If you let anyone else touch you… I’ll kill you both.”
My lips turn into a wry smile.
