“Ah, so when I want to feel that again, I’ll just kiss you?”

I grinned as he shook his head at me. “Damn siren.”

“Best believe it. And though I wouldn’t mind that, honestly, I’d just like to be held. That shouldn’t be too hard, right?”

I knew it would be, on many levels, but I was not going to walk out of this room and away from him. There was something driving me to him and I’ll be damned if I was going to let it fall away now.

~ Chapter Six ~

Trevor

I didn’t want to wake up. That’s all I knew as I felt the sun’s rays’ peek into the room, heating up my back. The woman in my arms was perfection and I didn’t want to leave her.

She curled around my body just like a perfect dress and it was delectable. I also knew that if I didn’t move soon, she would be waking up to feeling that hard dick once more pressing against her stomach.

“Boss, are you awake?”

I opened my eyes wide, glaring at the door. The instant pounding was bound to wake up this siren and I didn’t want that.

“Stop glaring.” I looked down at her smiling face. “I see your dick wants to come out and play. Shall we let it?”

“Woman! Not now. There’s someone at my door.”

“I hear, Trevor. Let them in before they break down your door, huh?”

“Fine,” I muttered, pulling the covers up to her chin. “What is it, O’Malley?”

The door swung up and the man stuttered, surprised to see me in bed, I’m sure.

“Uh, sorry Boss, I thought you’d be up. You need to see this.” His eyes flicked to the woman who was carefully sitting up. “Morning Lucia.”

“Morning. What happened?”

I read over the newspaper that he handed me, my hand clenching at my side.

“Seems there were two more bombings; one on either side of the town. That warehouse is a main factory of mine,” I told her, pointing to the location on the map. “There were probably about forty men working there last night.”

“That’s my dad’s shipping warehouse. I don’t know if anyone was there, but I know it’s a main building for him too. Are they targeting our families or something? What’s the point? And if they were, was the attack on the mayor’s house for us and not for him?”

I glanced at her, lifting my brow at her questions. I shouldn’t be amazed that women thought outside the box. It was often something the women in my families did, offering insight. What amazed me, though, was that she had pieced together what was slowly dawning on me.

These attacks were for both families. Someone was trying to get us both out of the picture.

I just needed to know who.

“Sorry, should I not have asked?”

“No, Lucia, feel free to speak your mind. I love it. And I’m going to go out on the limb with you and say yes, we’re both being targeted. But I don’t know why.”

“If that’s the case, the why is easy. You control half the city, Trevor, while my dad has the other half. If you weaken bothsides, it’s easy to overtake what’s left. It’s also even better if the one doing the attack is thinking they could cause a war that would lead both families to fight each other.

“This, like anything else, is a power play. The question that needs to be asked is what are you going to do about it? What is my father going to do about it? And then, what are you BOTH going to do about it?”

“Boss?” I glanced up, rather dazed by her clear thinking and nodded to Jameson to speak. “Russo is at the front door, wanting a meeting with you and Lucia.”

Lucia

If there is anything I learned about my dad, a meeting with him this early in the morning wasn’t a good thing.
