My stomach turns.

His eyes flutter and he has his hand on the back of one of the girl’s heads, it’s clear which girl is his favorite. He keeps guiding her head back down onto him.

People are walking around and conversations are carrying on.

What the hell?

They just get head jobs in front of other people? My skin crawls, how could something so intimate feel so cheap and dirty?

I can’t hear what they’re saying, I turn up the volume on my computer.

Carlos phone lights up and he reaches over and answers it. “Hi, Anna.”

My stomach twists….

“Yeah, babe,” he continues. “Just out with the boys.” He puts his hand onto the girl’s head and slams down her throat until she gags, he smiles and winks down at her. “Keep going,” he mouths to her.

My hands fly over my mouth in horror, and tears of embarrassment fill my eyes.

My God.

“Dinner tonight?” he says to me down the phone. “I miss you.”

Valentino walks up the stairs, snatches the phone off him and hangs up before throwing the phone onto the opposite couch.

“Hey,” Carlo snaps. “I wasn’t finished.”

“Fuck you,” Val snaps.

“Keep out of my business.” Carlo smirks. “Anna knows the rules,” His hand still on the back of the girl’s head as it bobs up and down.

“One day…I’m going to kill you for her,” Val sneers.

Carlo winks up at him. “Not if I kill you first.”

Thump, thump….

Thump, thump….

Thump, thump…sounds the adrenaline as it pumps through my bloodstream. A thermonuclear rage turns the sky red.

I hate him.

With everything in my soul…I fucking hate him.

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE

My phone lights up.

Valentino

“Hello, Mr. Leone,” I answer with a smile.

“How’s my girl doing?” he purrs in his deep husky voice.

His girl.

“She’s great.” I beam.
