“And you think you do?” Tony spat, following me inside and grabbing my arm.

“Grow the fuck up.” I rolled my eyes. “There are more important things for us to fight over than a fucking hot pussy.” I didn’t mean it, but I groaned internally as my eyes met a shade of chocolate brown. Trust Siena to hear me say that. I couldn’t even defend myself, not with Tony standing there watching me.

Siena dropped her eyes from mine and rushed up the main staircase. Fuck, please don’t say I’d upset her!

“Trixie, I thought you were heading to the club?” Tony called up after her.

“I am, I forgot something,” she mumbled back at him. Fuck, Ihadupset her, but if it meant I could gain a few weeks distance while I worked all this shit out, it probably wasn’t a bad thing. Why did it fucking hurt so much, though?

“I know I’m a lucky motherfucker,” Tony gloated, licking his lips while watching her walk up the stairs. “I will make her marry me, Ryan. That woman will be my wife.” I didn’t like the dark tone he used.

“Keep your dick in your pants then,” I muttered as I walked into Carlo’s office.

“Yeah, okay.” He patted my back, his face almost sincere. “You want a truce. I’ll give you that.”

“Really?” I asked in surprise. He was up to something.

“So if you’re taking over the East District, does that mean I get your office in Cherries?” Tony teased.

“You with that many women on tap? I don’t fucking think so. You’re supposed to be changing your ways so Trixie will agree to marry you, remember?”

“I just need to be more careful and not make it so obvious.” This motherfucker was a piece of work.

“No, you need to stop dipping your dick into every bitch who spreads her legs for you,” I pointed out just before everyone else began to arrive.

I had so much shit ahead of me in the next few weeks, but all I could think about while I sat in the debriefing was that I hoped Siena wasn’t too upset from my outburst earlier.

The thought of her being hurt by my actions cut me fucking deep, and I’d be lying if I didn’t say that scared the motherfucking shit out of me.

Chapter 20

Siena

Ihad been so wrongabout Ryan. It seemed that I wasn't his weakness, after all; his desire for my pussy had been controlling him all along. He was just as bad as Tony, and the conversation I overheard between the two of them proved it. "There are more important things for us to fight about than a fucking hot pussy." Ryan's words played on repeat in my mind as my eyes met his. Sure, I could see a hint of remorse in them. The question was: was he truly remorseful because of what he said? Or did he simply regret getting caught? Tony's voice pulled me from my thoughts when he mentioned the club, and I stuttered a response before making my way upstairs and to my room.

After about ten minutes, when I knew they would be safely tucked away in Tony's study or Carlo's office, I silently made my way down the stairs and out the front door. I climbed into the back of the Escalade, which was already waiting for me, and closed my eyes as the driver made his way to Cherries.
