“You’re just mad that I’ll always be his first.”

Who said anything about Carissa being my first? She wasn’t. Pretty far from it.

“If you say you turned him into a man again,” Nova bent over to snarl in her face, “I will fucking kill you.”

Okay, this was getting a little out of hand.

I looked over at my brother. “We should break this up.”

“Yup.” He nodded and pushed off the wall.

He went for Carissa while I lopped my arm around Nova’s waist and lifted her off the other woman. The fight should’ve stopped there. It didn’t.

Nova’s stubbornness was in full effect. Not for Nova anyway. She twisted, and failed in my arm, trying to lunge back on Carissa.

“Let me go,” Nova screamed. “I need to teach that sick bitch a lesson.”

I would’ve had better luck holding onto a feral cat.

Carissa on the other hand, went into damsel in distress mode.

“Gio, thank god you’re here.” She batted her eyes at me. “Look what she did to me.”

“Don’t talk to him,” Nova growled and jumped out of my hold.

I managed to catch her before she could kick Carissa in the face, which was probably a good thing. I had no idea how we were going to explain this. One look at either of them and their fight would be obvious.

“Do you see that?” Carissa waved her hand at Nova. “She’s crazy.”

“Shut up.” I barked at her while trying to maintain my hold on the ball of furry in my arms. “I told you to stay away the fuck from her. And you…” I slammed Nova’s back against the wall. “Calm the fuck down!”

That worked about as well as one would think. Not only did she not calm down, but Nova turned her anger on me.

“Do you know what she did to you?”

I was there. “She didn’t do anything I didn’t want her to.”

“Exactly.” Carissa sang. “He wants me.”

And what was Romeo doing while I tried to control these two? He was standing behind Carissa with his arms crossed. Asshole.

“Stop it.” I stepped in, trapping Nova between me and the wall. “She’s not worth it.”

“How can you say that?” Carissa whined which drew Nova’s attention back to her.

“What did I say about talking to him!”

“Don’t talk to me.”

“I’m gonna shove my fist down your throat.”

Jesus fucking Christ.

I looked over at my brother. “You can step in anytime.”

“Alright.” Romeo sighed and waved at Carissa. “Let’s go.”

She glared back at him, “I’m not going anywhere with you.”
