Ohhh! That’s the spirit!Nikki purred.Let those hormones rage! Ya know, if you let me out, maybe I can persuade Kade to let you kill him. How does that sound?
Dismissing her alter’s semi-appealing plan, she pressed her lips into a fine line. Giving the Skull a scathing look, she waited impatiently as he opened the hotel’s door. As tempting as Nikki’s offer was, she would have to deal with the disgusting gangster another time.
Crossing the threshold of the Wilde, she quickly caught up to Kade as he stalked down the hallway of the trendy hotel. Ignoring the sciatic pain shooting down the back of her thigh, she opened her mouth to chastise him for leaving her in the dust. Before she had a chance to mutter a single word however, she found herself silenced by a sultry female voice echoing through the lobby.
“Mr. Volkov! It’s so good to see you! I was hoping you would arrive before my shift was over,” cooed the young woman standing behind the check-in desk.
Sliding up to the counter, Kade curled his lips into a sly grin. It had been over a year since he had seen the tight-bodied brunette. Callie was a top earner for the Organization. She had a knack for keeping wealthy men under her well-manicured thumb. It was a trait that kept her employed and alive.
“Callie, it’s good to see you, too. You look stunning, as always. Thank you for setting everything up so quickly,” he said, his voice smooth and warm.
Leaning over the front desk, Callie gave the rugged mobster a flirty smile. Handing him a room key, she purposefully tugged on the fabric of her V-neck sweater to show the edge of her red lace bra. She was more than willing to fall on her knees if he wanted her to, all he had to do was ask. It was the least she could do, she was sure he needed a good blowjob after the hell he had been through.
“Anythingfor you, Sir,” she purred, not seeming to pay any mind to the pregnant woman at his side. “You know Ialwaysaim to please.”
Narrowing her eyes in annoyance, Lexi looked back and forth between Kade and the vixen. Their interaction with one another was far too familiar for her liking. She was sure that there had to be some sordid history between them. Whatever it was, she didn’t like it.
Ha! They totally fucked, look! Look at the way she’s biting her lip! She’s probably remembering how good his cock felt in her mouth right this very second...and oh my God-his face! Didn’t he look at you like that when you fucked him on the couch? Oh yeah, he’s remembering her pussy for sure. Not that I can really blame him. She’s fit and ready to go...you, well, you’re a little round, aren’t you?Nikki snickered.
Mentally growling at her alter, Lexi wiggled her body closer to him. Hardening her features, she met the girl’s cold stare. Jealousy and possessiveness flooded her brain, two foreign emotions she couldn’t remember the last time she had felt. Shewanted to claw the dark blue eyes out of Callie’s flawless face. How dare that bitch try to seduce what belonged to her?
“Kade,” she interjected, her annoyed gaze perfectly centered on Callie. “Take me to bed.”
Turning his attention, Kade was surprised to see her seething in anger. Following her eye line, he smirked as he noticed Callie throwing the same phantom daggers in her direction. He had a couple of jealous women on his hands. For a moment, he debated on whether he should let the two hellcats duke it out. Knowing a fight wouldn’t be wise for the baby, he nodded an acknowledgement. Wrapping his long arm around her, he pulled her flush against his side. While he thoroughly enjoyed her possessiveness, there was no need to be so catty. She was the only woman he wanted, the only one he wouldeverwant.
“Of course I’ll take you to bed, my love,” he said before turning back to Callie. “You think you could take care of my boys for me?”
Blinking at Kade, Callie stammered for a moment. He had never turned down her advances before, it was a huge blow to her confidence. What could that pregnantthingpossibly give him that she couldn’t?
Licking her lips, she reluctantly pulled her gaze to the three lusting men and gave a small shrug of her shoulders. It wouldn’t be the first time she had kept his Soldiers occupied while he handled other business. Perhaps he would come down and join once his whale was fast asleep in her precious bed.
“Yes, Mr. Volkov,” she said, painting a faux mask of enthusiasm over her face. “I’ll takeverygood care of them.”
“Good girl,” Kade said before looking over his shoulder to his Skulls. “Enjoy the rest of your night with Callie. I’ll be in touch in a few hours.”
Not waiting for them to reply, he cradled Lexi against his side and ushered her towards the hallway leading to the elevator. Completely oblivious to the searing glance Lexi gave Callie as they left the hotel’s lobby.
...
Pressing the ‘eight’ button on the interior panel of the elevator, Kade drifted his dark eyes to Lexi. She was clearly stewing over something; he could tell by the way the glaring spitfire kept clenching and relaxing her jaw. If looks could kill, he would be dead twice over. It turned him on.
“What?” he asked curiously.
Growling low, she fumed from the mental image of him screwing Callie on the check-in desk. Her hormones were clouding her judgement, and she couldn’t reign in her rage. He might as well have been licking the whore’s cunt right in front of her. Reaching over to the control panel, she slapped the ‘stop’ button, halting their trajectory between the third and fourth floors. She needed to vent her suspicion, otherwise she wouldn’t be able to stop her alter from taking over.
“Did you fuck her?” she spat bitterly. “Or do you only fuck women you intend to kill?”
Thrown off by her heated question, he visibly scoffed. Moving in front of her, he leaned down and met her fiery gaze. Although he had the opportunity to soothe her temper, he couldn’t stop himself from seizing this golden opportunity to play.
“Sweetheart, if I killed every woman I fucked, half of the women in Manhattan would be dead,” he said with a wolfish grin.
Widening her eyes in shock, Lexi let out a sharp gasp. She wasn’t expecting that comeback, but she knew he was goading her; trying to distract her so he wouldn’t have to answer the question. He wouldn’t get away that easily.
“Have you fuckedher,Kade?” she asked again, raising her hand to grip his chin between her middle finger and thumb.
Letting the hellion hold his amused face steady, he stepped his hulking form forward, causing her to slowly back up against the wall of the dark elevator. Pausing a moment to memorize her tempestuous face, he wrapped his fingers around her wrist and gruffly yanked her hand from his chin. Not giving her a moment to react, he lifted her arm over her head and pressed it firmly against the wallpapered wall.
“Many times,” he breathed, lightly brushing the tip of his nose against hers. “Callie is a pretty good lay. She’s extremelyflexibleand she doesn’t have a gag reflex.”
