“What do you mean?”
“They won’t have anything to inherit. I destroyed all of it.”
“You what?” I gaped at him. “When did you have time to do all that? It’s only been a few days.”
His lips quirked up. “It was enough for me.”
“But what about Ingrid’s secret bank accounts? If there’s any money left in them, someone will try to get their hands on it.” I didn’t know who was in charge of any of that, but it had to be some third party contractor.
“I didn’t just burn a few hideouts to the ground. I also handed all the information about Ingrid’s operations to the cops, and I picked the ones I knew never worked withher so they won’t cover it all up to protect themselves.” He licked his lips, lowering his gaze to the floor. “She’d kill me if she knew what I’ve done with her legacy. The Rosa Nera was her life and I...”
I placed my hand on his cheek and looked deep into his glassy eyes. “You did the right thing. If there’s an afterlife, then maybe she realized just how wrong she was about a lot of things.”
“The right thing.” He made a face as if those words sounded unnatural to him. “I don’t know what’s right or wrong anymore. I haven’t known it for a long, long time.”
“This is right.” I pressed my lips against his. “Who cares about everything else?”
“I think I’m going to take a break,” he said. “And I can take some cooking classes like I promised.” A smile tugged at his lips.
“Ilike the sound of that. You’re going to be only mine.” I gave him a wicked grin.
“Only yours.” His mouth found mine again, and I slid my fingers into his hair, tugging lightly. His hands roamed up and down my back, then caught the hem of my shirt, pushing it up. I let him pull my shirt over my head and gave him another kiss.
“Take off your shirt,” I said, and he obliged. Just one lookat his toned body made my insides clench with desire, and I gently shoved him back so his ass collided with the table. I advanced on him, my lips crashing against his as my hand traveled down his stomach and slid to his hard cock. After unzipping his jeans, I yanked them down with his boxers, making him hiss. I stroked him as I placed a gentle kiss on his chest, then gave his nipple a lick.
He shuddered, leaning back against the table, as I trailed a path of kisses down his stomach. When I flicked my tongue over the tip of his thick length, he grunted, and I met his gaze as I took him into my mouth, teasing him with my tongue. Just watching his body react to me made me hotter than ever. I cupped his balls and kneaded them, applying pressure in just the right spot. He gasped, hiseyes showing me just how much he wanted me.
“Chiara... Please stop or I won’t be able to control myself.”
“You will if I say so.” A grin spread across my lips, and the look on his face as he tried not to come when I gave his cock a few more tugs and licks made me tingle all over. His chest was heaving when I let go of him, and I curled my finger in an invitation and started toward myroom. My table didn’t look comfortable at all.
It took Theo a moment to get his legs to work, and then he stalked toward me like a predator. Once I reached the bed, I unclasped my bra and tossed it aside, then let myself drop down on the bed.
“Take my pants off,” I said, and he climbed on top of me, bending his head toward my breasts as his fingers fiddled with the button of my pants.His tongue swirled around my nipple as he licked and nipped. The button popped open as he focused his attention on my other nipple. I lifted my hips up, allowing him to tug down my pants and underwear as his tongue traced circles down my skin, tickling my belly button.
I moaned when he went down on his knees and brushed his lips against my wetness, his tongue prodding and probing up and downmy slit. Spreading my legs wider for him, I closed my eyes for a moment as he sucked gently on my clit, then dipped his tongue inside me, twisting it in just the perfect way to make me push my hips toward him.
My fingers found their way into his hair and I gripped him tightly, pushing him harder toward me as his tongue slid in and out, faster and faster until I couldn’t take it any longer.Closing my thighs around him, I whimpered as pleasure spread through me and a delicious throbbing filled my insides.
I let go of him as I gasped for breath, and when his eyes met mine, I knew he was pleased to see me writhe under his touch. When he plunged a finger inside me, it took me by surprise, but as another finger dove into my slickness, I thought I was going to explode from the pressurethat was building inside me again, even more intense than before. When he curled his finger a little, I convulsed around him, another orgasm shaking my body.
“Theo... Oh God.” I could no longer think straight. He got on top of me, settling himself between my legs, and when he rubbed the tip of his shaft against my entrance, the fire inside me burned stronger. My body was ready for him as heslipped inside, and I held onto him, my nails digging into his back.
He rocked his hips, slowly at first, but then he increased his speed, slamming himself hard into me. I clawed down his back, lifting my hips to meet his as he pounded into me. His eyes met mine, and he gave me a quick kiss, his powerful thrusts sending ripples of ecstasy through every inch of my body. My hands ended up onhis ass, and I squeezed as I felt him throb inside me.
I clenched around him, a loud cry tearing its way out of my throat. He let out a groan, and our joint release shook our bodies, leaving my insides quivering. I clung to him for a while longer, just feeling his body against mine. When he rolled off me, I turned on my side and looked into his eyes. His hand found mine and he placed a softkiss on my knuckles.
I pressed myself closer to him and hooked my leg over his so I was enveloping him like a blanket. He gave me a small smile, and the only thing I could do was smile back.
Chapter 27
I STROLLED DOWN THE street and glanced down at my watch. If I didn’t get to Vix’s fight club in five minutes, I was going to be late, and I didn’t want her to have to prepare all the fights by herself. We had a big celebratory night at the club anyway, so everything had to be perfect. The Cobras were still going with mealmost everywhere I went when Theo wasn’t with me, but now there were only two of them accompanying me since we didn’t think my life was in danger. We could never be completely sure about that, though.
Theo had wanted to come with me tonight, but since he wasn’t a member of Vix’s club and the rules said that no one could enter without participating in at least one fight, I’d decided thatit was better for him to stay at home. Maybe I’d change my mind eventually, but for now, I didn’t want him to have to fight, especially since I felt like underground fights weren’t his thing.
At least he wasn’t taking any hit jobs at the moment, and I kind of liked that we lived together in my apartment. It was almost like we were regular people. There were still a lot of things Theo didn’twant to talk about, but I was more than willing to give him time rather than pressure him into anything.
The screech of tires made me turn my head toward a black van that pulled over right next to me. Oh shit. The Cobras started toward it, but as soon as the door opened, men in black fired at them. My heart leapt into my throat, and I couldn’t breathe for a moment. I pulled out my gun, whichI always carried with me, and aimed at them, firing at the closest one of them.
