The most important one being that if he knew Lili was in the house all along, why did he stay and eat supper with me?
“Oh my God,” I say aloud, horrified. “Does that son of a bitch think he’s getting a two-for-one special?”

SPIDER
She’s smart, she’s sexy, and she’s got an arse on her I’d like to bite, spank, and fuck.
Even worse, every time I look at her too long, my dick gets hard as a rock and my mouth starts watering.
That settles it.
I’m never speaking to Reyna fucking Caruso again.

REY
I wait until morning to tell Lili the bad news that her lecherous pig of a fiancé will be paying her a visit.
She takes it like any rational female should and starts crying.
“Zia,please!” she wails, clinging to my arm. “Can’t you do something? Can’t you get Papa to call it off?”
“If I could, I already would have. Now dry your eyes. We’ve got to talk, and I need you to pay attention.”
I shake her off and start to pace the length of her bedroom, over to the dresser and back to the door, wringing my hands in anxiety.
I didn’t sleep at all last night. I lay wide awake in bed, staring at the ceiling, remembering the way that beast Quinn sniffed my neck like I was a candy bar.
And thatnoisehe made.
That low, rumbling, masculine sound of pleasure that came from deep in his throat.
I’m shivering right now just thinking about it.
In disgust, of course. The man is absolutely revolting.
“Okay, here’s the thing.” I pause to gather my chaotic thoughts. “Quinn is a man. Right? A very masculine sort of man. He’s very… manly.”
What the hell are you saying? Pull yourself together!
Sniffling, Lili sits on the edge of her bed and chews on her thumbnail as she watches me pace.
“He’s going to be difficult to handle. Impossible, really. He’s obviously extremely stubborn. And used to getting his own way.”
And arrogant. And gorgeous. And hung like a damn horse.
I turn and pace the other way, dragging my hands through my hair in aggravation.
“And unfortunately,tesoro…you should prepare yourself for the reality that he won’t be faithful to you.”
“Who cares if he’s faithful? I’m going to stab him to death in his sleep!”
I pull up short and stare at her in horror. “Don’t ever let me hear you speak such nonsense again.”
“Why not? You killed Uncle Enzo!”
