“Does he even know his ex-wife is missing?”
“She’s not missing,” Hugo growls. “She’s just throwing a tantrum.”
Neena is known for trying to manipulate those around her. Hence why I fucked her once years ago and wasn’t interested in a round two. Somehow, she got her claws in Hugo after that and got him to put a ring on her finger.
“What if she’s hurt?”
Hugo laughs. “Her credit cards aren’t hurt. She’s been buying shit left and right. If I didn’t have a daily bill from Neiman Marcus, I’d be worried.”
“You know you’re going to have to square things away with your wife before this town gets wind of it. If they know you two are separated, it’ll taint your campaign. Worse if they think she’s hurt or missing and you’re doing nothing about it.”
“I know. I’ll fix it. I always do. Just…keep Dad happy. If this chick is just a piece of ass, then be more discreet. Our family likes to meddle, but soon, we’ll have the entire town meddling in our affairs. The last thing we need for the campaign is for it to get out that my brother, the friendly neighborhood high school statistics teacher, is a manwhore.”
She is so much more than a piece of ass, but I can’t tell him that. I’d come here, wanting to speak to my brother and get some advice. Instead, I’m meeting with Political Park. AnythingI admit at this point will be twisted into me trying to sabotage his campaign.
“I’ll be more discreet,” I assure him.
“What did you need, anyway? Did Gemma and Jamie rattle you that much?”
“Nothing. Just wanted to vent. I’m good now.”
“You sure?”
“Yeah, man. Can I ask you a question, though?”
“Always.”
“How did you know with Cassidy?”
“That I wanted to marry her and have her demon spawn?”
I chuckle. “Yeah, that.”
“It was love at first fuck. I felt like I might die if I wasn’t with her. Her pussy was magic.”
“You were hypnotized by pussy?”
“Absolutely.”
“It didn’t last very long,” I remind him. “How long did it take for the spell to wear off?”
“She left me for Guy Sellers. The dude has a comb-over.”
“Sellers is also fucking loaded.”
“All it took was seeing his white, hairyrichass in my bed. Spell officially broken.”
The Park men are cursed when it comes to love. I’m pretty sure of that.
“A lot of questions for someone ‘not serious,’” Hugo says, a knowing glint in his eyes. “Sounds like your woman has a bit of the pussy magic, too.”
He has no idea.
“I took her virginity tonight,” I admit. “It was pretty goddamn magical.”
His brow hikes. “A virgin? Seems like you got yourself a young one, too.”
I shrug off his imploring gaze, not willing to admit anything on that front.
