Having Nova watch me while Mina took every inch of me down her throat...I could have came again from the thought. My little thief had not been intimidated like most women would have been. She had challenged me right back by not breaking the stare that had passed between us.

I was going to break Valentin's hand if he ever touched her again. I had told him to escort her back to the mansion, not touch her. The way his hand had fallen into the crook of her back. I didn't like it.

Storming into the house, I loosened the top two buttons of my shirt. I still had some pent-up aggression that Mina hadn't gotten rid of with her club antics. She had shown up at my request, of course. We weren’t exactly an item. Never had been. We just used each other for sexual favors. It wasn't a serious thing.

While setting the alarm, I heard laughter coming from the kitchen. Laughter sounded foreign in this house. Humor wasn't something that found its way into place, hardly.

"What's so funny?" I asked as I found Valentin and Nova howling with laughter.

They both stopped and turned to stare at me.

"You wouldn't get it." Nova rolled her eyes.

"Trust me, you had to be there," Valentin spoke, trying to choke back his own laughter.

I didn't like that she was laughing for him. About anything. I wanted her attention to be focused on me and not my cousin. For years we had an unspoken rivalry between us but Valentin knew his place, I was in charge and he was the enforcer.

"Leave cousin." I shot him a look.

Nova's face seemed to turn to stone. "Wait what?"

We both ignored her, and Valentin sized me up. "You need to lighten up."

"You should go before you say something you'll regret."

He held up his hands and winked at Nova. "Night, Nova. I'll see you around."

As he walked past me, he nodded. I ignored him and focused on Nova. She had worn the white dress I had told her not to wear tonight. I watched as she picked up a fry and chewed on it, avoiding my gaze. My cock became brick hard as I remembered our shopping trip. I wondered did she have on the underwear I'd purchased for her earlier.

Silk.

"You're kind of a bastard," Nova spoke as I came closer to her and the stool she was perched on.

"Really, Little Thief?"

"Really Killer Boy," she replied. "And you know....you should have these pearls back. That's why I'm here tonight. To give them back."

She went to fiddle around her neck, but my hand stopped her. "No...keep them on."

"Why," she breathed.

My hand eased under them as we made eye contact. The jewels felt heavy against my hand. Giving them a slight pat, I removed my hand from her warm flesh. "I like the way you look in them. And soon, I'll fuck you with you wearing nothing but them."

She bit her lip. "No, I don't think so."

I smirked. "I always get my way, Nova. Every single time."

"I'll be different." Her words came out in barely a whisper.

"No," I said. "You won't."

"I'll fuck Valentin first, before you ever get inside of me." Her words were barely audible, but I'd heard them.

It was like an explosion inside of me that I couldn’t' contain. Before I knew it, I was grabbing her by the nape of her neck hard enough to leave bruises and my mouth was crushing onto her lips before she could stop me. The movement caused her back to flounce into the granite countertop that she'd been eating from.

I didn't care. Even if it hurt her just a little bit...I was glad. I wanted her to feel a little bit of pain. I removed my mouth from her and looked down to find the shock on her face that turned into a smile.
