“It was fun,”she replied with her attention on me, her eyes twinkling withmischief.“Sofe and I have decided to have a girls’ night out, you don’t mind if we grab a booth at Sapphire, do you?”
“You’re not going out,”I snapped at the same time Kai said,“Ofcourse not.”
Riley snorted, narrowing her gaze on me.“You’re not the boss of me,Milo.”
Kai chuckled as a growl rumbled in my throat at her use of anickname I fucking despised.“Fine.Sofiaisn’t going out.”
“You’re not the boss of her either,”she retorted, leaning forward to rest anelbow on the desk, a taunting grin playing on her lips.“Maybe if you hadn’t ignored your wife for the past few days, she wouldn’t want to find company elsewhere.”
My scowl deepened as my blood began to boil. She was pressing mybuttons, and she damn well knew it.“Riley, I swear to god-”
“Threaten my wife, and I’ll cut your tongue out,”Kai barked, his mockinggrin turning serious.
Un-fucking-believable.
I rolled my eyes at the two of them.“I didn’t save your ass from dyingjustso you pair could conspire against me,”I growled, standing.
The assholes chuckled.
“Hey, you guys should come.”Riley's smirk widened.“Sofia boughtthis gorgeous outfit. She looks hot as fuck in it…”
I didn’t hear the rest of what she said, partly because of the steambillowing from my ears, partly because I’d stormed out of the office, intent on going home and having a word with my wife.
She wasn’t fucking going to a nightclub, and shecertainlywasn’t going outwearing somethingthatmade her look‘hot as fuck.’
Fury flowed through my veins as I floored it on the short drive to my newhome. The car had barely come to a stop before I was out and rushing to the front door, intent on calling Sofia’s name, when I came to an abrupt stop.
The sweetest sound I’d ever heard in my life filtered down from upstairs.The rage simmering under my skin cooled in an instant, replaced by a wave of calmthatfilled me whenever I heard her sing, and extinguishing the chaotic noise in my head.
She hadn’t sung since moving in, nor had she played the piano I’d spent afortune on, hoping it would keep her occupied. The reason I knewthat? I may have installed cameras throughout the house to keep an eye on her. Including her bedroom. It was how I knew when she’d gone to bed, and the coast was clear for me to come home.
Without conscious thought, my feet moved on their own, lured by the siren’scall. The song she was belting out was different from the songs she’d sung in the club; those had been melancholy tunes filled with sorrow, reflecting how she was feeling.
This one was upbeat, filled with excitement, andthatonly added to the jealousythathad been swirling in me from the minute Riley had implied Sofia was going to the club seeking company from others.
Like fucking hell I was going to letthathappen.
Her door was ajar, and I peered through the gap, finding the room empty. Herpowerful voice carried from the ensuite, despite the closed door. I slowly prowled toward the bathroom, unable to stop myself from going further, and my cock twitching at the thoughtthatshe was in there, naked.
Stopping at the door, I pressed my ear against it, my pulse racing as I tried toignore every part of methatdemanded I open it. I resisted, right until her song was cut off, followed by a gasp.
And not a gasp of pain.
Far from it.
The temptation to open the door hit me like a wrecking ball, and before Icould think twice, I gave in to the urge and gently opened the door, telling myselfthatI would take a quick peek.Thatwas all. A quick peek, andthenI’d get the fuck away and leave her to her shower.
Through the steamed-up mirror, my eyes landed on her sumptuous body, andI knew in a heartbeatthata quick peek wasn’t enough. I could have stared at her from now until eternity, and it still wouldn’t have been enough.
Blood rushed south as I let my gaze roam over her body, my mouth salivatingwith the sudden need to lap up every drop of water sliding over her skin.Her eyes were closed, her teeth biting her lower lip as she held the showerhead between her legs, and my jealousy spiked once more, this time at the fucking inanimate objectthatwas giving her pleasure.
When her hand trailed over her taut stomach and up to her nipple, where shesqueezed the erect bud, I almost lost all control, not helped by the soft moan of pleasure she released.
Fuck me.
A chemical war could have kicked off behind me, and I still wouldn’t havebeen able to look away. I shifted my feet in a bid to ease the buildingpressure in my cock, but my heart froze in my chest when her eyes shot open and landed on me.
I should have walked away. Should have apologized for intruding on herprivacy and gotten the fuck out of the house.
