“Fine. Let me hear it.”

QUINN

It’sadorabletoseehow grumpy he gets when he’s not allowed to touch my breasts.

Yet.

And yes, I noticed, but this needs to be all out in the open before we can fully enjoy each other. So, I try and ignore the aching need for him between my legs and focus on the task at hand.

“That was the big news for me, but there’s something important I need to show you.” I begin to rummage through my purse.

Where is it?

If after all the checking and rechecking, I still forgot it, I’ll never forgive myself.

“Need help?” Enzo looks at me with a concerned expression.

“No, no. I…” I finally pull out the drive, grinning. “Got it. Where’s your TV? Laptop, whatever will do, really.”

He’s looking more confused than ever but points me to the screen in the corner of the room.

It takes me a few minutes to figure out the controls.

“There.” I collapse on the sofa next to him, remote in hand.

“I’m not sure what I’m supposed to be looking at here.” He frowns at the screen, which is pitch black still.

“Not looking.Listening.”

Liam’s voice fills the room, and Enzo is listening intently, at once.

“That’s my ex-husband, by the way,” I mutter dryly. “If you can believe it.”

Enzo’s eyebrows jot together when he brings up Enzo.

“Did you tell him about me and Silvano?” Enzo’s eyes are wide.

“Are you kidding me? I avoid the man like the plague. I never mentioned your name to him, and I never mentioned Silvano. Not even on my lives.”

“Then, how does he know?”

“That’s exactly what I’m trying to figure out as well.” I bite down on my lip. “I can’t prove it exactly, but I think Silvano and Liam are working together somehow.”

“Why did you think to record the call?”

I’m embarrassed to even say it out loud. “Well, Liam has a tendency to be quite…” I pause, searching for the right words. “Inconvenient and persistent. I was thinking I’d be recording that.”

“He doesn’t sound like the ideal husband…” His voice darkens.

“No, which is why he I now myex-husband.”

“Either way, he sounds like an absolute idiot. I’m sorry you had to put up with him as long as you did.” His words are genuine, but I can’t help but feel a thinly veiled layer of jealousy behind them.

Enzo? Jealous of Liam?

There’s absolutely no comparison.
