“I want you to remember I’m the one fucking you. This is what you get until your Master comes home. And maybe—just maybe—if you’re a good puppy, I’ll fuck you afterward, too. Now, scream my name.”

He lets go of my throat and undoes the cock ring. He’s right, I scream his name as he drives into me two more times. I’m flying apart without my dick even being touched.

I slump forward, my arms no longer able to hold me up. I barely feel him gripping my hips too tight as he fucks me harder.All I want is a nap, I’m so fucking sated. His own sound of pleasure rings loud in the room, even with the door open.

I grunt as he slowly withdraws from me. I barely have time to enjoy the afterglow before there’s a fucking interruption. “What the hell?! Aren’t you supposed to be focusing on finding Il Padrone? I’m so disgusted with you right now.”

I stand up fully, glaring at Luca. I don’t give a shit that I’m naked, even as I hear Hollis dressing. “I think you’ve overstayed your welcome. You aren’t of any use here. I’ve given you plenty of slack, but it would be best if you return to your post, and continue the assignment Il Padrone gave you.”

“You can’t be fucking serious. You don’t even have your Second, since the Amatos took him. This Family will fall apart without me. I should be the one in charge. Especially if you’re fuckinghim.” Luca nods at Hollis.

I step towards him, wanting to get my hands around his neck, when Hollis nips in front of me. The oomph of pain from Luca stops me. “You fucking stabbed me!”

I swallow down a laugh, because while Luca may be a Martelli still, Il Padrone would have stabbed him too. Letting Hollis do it is fair enough. I turn and walk to the phone, dialing the number for Dr. Ranlen.

“Yes?”

“Sarah, we have a small situation. Luca’s been stabbed. He’s outside my office. Can you take care of it? It doesn’t seem life threatening.” I cringe, because that statement all depends on if Hollis decides to go further.

Sighing, Dr. Ranlen grumbles, “I’ll have him brought to the clinic and work on him here.”

“I want him ready to fly out as soon as possible.”

“Yes, Boss.” She clicks off and I roll my eyes. She’s never been the most patient. I’d be shocked if Luca is even given any pain medication when she finds out he was a jackass to our ally.

“If you’d please let him live, it would make things easier.”

I grab my clothes, quickly dressing. Hollis doesn’t give an agreement, but at least he doesn’t make a move to do more. Instead, he grabs his phone and taps on it. I’m not surprised when my own phone pings with an incoming email. I don’t bother checking it. I already know he sent me the video.

Ignoring it for now, I say, “I’ll get you the knife back. Thanks for leaving it in. Do you need a different one in the meantime?”

“No, I have others. And it was worth it.”

Snickering, I can’t disagree. Sometimes people deserve to be stabbed. Luca pushed it too far.

“I do think this underscores the need for our doctors to meet.”

“As I said, that’s Tennant’s area. Or Joel’s.”

I sit at my desk, running my hand through my hair. At this point, I may be bald by the time I get Master back. Carefully, I respond, “I’d prefer not to interrupt Tennant, at the moment. Although I really do need Benjamin home soon.”

Hollis watches me calculatingly. “I’ll give you Joel’s contact information. But I want to make something clear to you. If Benjamin chooses to stay with us, I won’t force him to come back.”

Gritting my teeth, I nod. “I don’t know what we’ll do in that situation, but I want my best friend to be happy. That’s what matters. If he doesn’t want to stay, I will make sure he comes home.”

Hollis hears the warning as he replies, “And I want Tennant to be happy. It leaves us in an interesting situation, doesn’t it?”

I stay quiet. There’s nothing that either of us can say at this point. Until I know where Benjamin stands on everything, I can’t anticipate what moves need to be made.

Shrugging a shoulder, I redirect him. “What do I owe you?”

“Hmm. You showed me you’re mine, and I got to draw blood. That gives you quite a discount. Tell you what, I’ll take an ‘I Owe You’, and we’ll call it good.”

I hate giving those out. Nobody likes to give blanket agreements like that. But, at the end of the day, we’re on the same side—at least, for now. I nod begrudgingly. From Hollis’s snicker, I get the impression he enjoys it far too much.

I don’t even have time to ask whether he was successful, or what he actually did, before he slips out of the office.Fuck. At this point, I’m just hoping we can survive until we get the Heads of the Families back. Especially when the Amatos are so…interesting.

“Are you sure that was smart?” Elias asks on our way back home.
