As soon as I close the door, I head straight down the stairs and down the hall to the door that connects to Rowan’s place.
Bella is throwing me off in every aspect. That defiance I want to spank out of her. That naughty, sexy side I saw, I want to explore. And that hurt that creeps up on her face when she talks about love, fuck, I want to delve deeper.
And also murder whoever hurt her like that.
I knock on the door and Rowan opens it up.
“Oh, the explorer returns.” He glances behind me.
“Not introducing me to my sister-in-law yet?”
I shake my head and barge past him and close the door.
“I’m exhausted. Whiskey?” I ask.
He heads to the kitchen and grabs two glasses and a bottle of Seamus Quinn’s’ famous whiskey.
“You look like shit, Reg. How come you’re here and not railing your new girl?”
I grab the drink and toss it down my throat.
“She’s a handful,” I tell him.
His eyes light up.
“Tell me more. Don’t make me jealous, though.” He holds up a finger.
“So I had to drag her out of a posh ass house party in London. I get to the place and find her upstairs getting it on with another girl.”
Rowan’s mouth drops open.
He grins. “Fuck. Did you stay to watch?”
I nod.
“Did you join in?” he presses.
“No. I stopped it and spanked her.”
Rowan bursts out into laughter.
“Bro. You know how hot that is, right?” He mutters.
I clench my fists.
“Yeah. She’s absolutely gorgeous too. This is going to be hard work.”
He frowns. “Why?”
“Because this is business, not pleasure.”
“God. Reggie. You’ve been literally handed your dream woman on a platter, wedding ring and all. And you’re calling her a business transaction?”
I shrug in response.
So he continues. “Not everything has to be a contractual agreement, Reg. I know the women we share, we have that in place to protect us all. But that woman in your house… she’s about to be your wife. Maybe, for once, don’t go in so miserable to make her dislike you straight off the bat?”
“Fuck off,” I mutter, and he laughs.
