I have so many more questions, but I’m dying to talk to Victor. I moisten my suddenly dry lips and look at Sam. “You can leave now, I’ll call Victor.”
Sam shakes his head. “You’re something else, Angie. This sounds horrible, but I am sad that there’s no sexual chemistry between us because you are a hell of a woman.”
I watch as he walks away. My brow furrows as I try to figure out what’s going on in his head, but the truth is I don’t care enough to dwell on it. I jump back on the bed and snatch up the phone, immediately dialing Victor.
“If you’re calling to tell me you’ve changed your mind Samuil, you can go fuck yourself. There’s no rock you can crawl under that will hide you from me. Gia is mine, and if you insist on keeping her, I will hunt you down and gut you after making you pray for mercy.”
Hearing his voice makes me melt. There’s so much I want to say, but the truth is, there are just three words I really want him to know.
“I love you, Victor.”
“Kitten?” he questions, sounding completely shocked.
“God, I’ve missed you so much,” I cry, tears beginning to slide from my eyes. Their salty wetness hits my lips, and the taste of them is on my tongue.
“I’ve missed you too, sweetheart. I’m so sorry it has taken me so long to find you.”
“I knew you would. I don’t understand what has changed with Sam, but I’m so glad he asked you to come here.”
“Bullshit he asked. I was coming, Kitten. It’s just the bastard found out about it.”
“I think he may have gone off the deep end. He keeps saying he’s trying to keep me safe from his father and other enemies, but he’s trying to convince me to marry him.”
“I’ll kill him!”
“I think he’s sincerely worried about me, Victor. I just think he might be cracked in the head. Besides, I might have blacked his eye and told him you’re the only man I want.”
I hear Victor chuckle, and the sound seems to vibrate through me and settle at my core.
“You did that, baby?”
“Oh yeah. I told you, Victor, I love you.”
“I love you, too. You know that, right, Gia?”
“I do. I have a lot of reasons to be pissed at Sam, but I think my biggest is that he took me away just when I wanted to tell you that I was ready to try…”
“Try what, baby?”
“Going all the way. I think I’m ready. When I’m with you, you’re all I think about. You’re all I want, honey.”
“God, you’re killing me. I should fly to Seattle tonight and get you.”
“I’m not sure I’d argue,” I laugh. “I need you.”
“I’ll be there early tomorrow, I promise. It won’t be a long flight from Arizona.”
“Will you take me away from here?” I ask, and even I can hear the hint of begging in my question.
“I’m going to hear Samuil out. I need to discuss his reasoning on why he took you. He wants me to trust him, but I don’t think that’s possible.”
“I think you can trust him, Victor, but please be safe. Sam isn’t the same person I remember from my childhood.”
“I’ll be careful, Gia. I just need you back in my arms.”
“I want that, too.”
“When you get back, we’re going to have a discussion about the fact that you went out with another man when your man forbade it.”
“Although you seem to set feminism back to the dark ages with that whole forbade word, believe me when I tell you that if I had it to do over, I would tell Sam to go fuck himself.”
“Is that my sweet, innocent Kitten using the word fuck?” he purrs.
I feel my panties getting wet. God, I need him. “Maybe…”
“You’ll need to make this up to me when we’re together again,” he adds.
“How would I do that?” I ask.
“I’ll think of something. Still, your punishment might be less severe if you touch yourself for me right now.”
“I love you, but I’m not doing that in a bed that Sam owns, Victor.” My whole body finds the idea revolting. I cringe just thinking about it.
“You will tomorrow night when I’m there with you. You’ll give me everything I want.”
“I’d rather you take me far away from anything to do with Sam.”
That makes him laugh and I enjoy the sound, closing my eyes, my heart filled with happiness.
“Now, that’s exactly what I wanted to hear from you days ago,” he points out.
“I’m sorry, Victor.”
“I love you, baby. You need to get some rest because I plan on wearing you out tomorrow.”
“Sweet dreams, honey,” I breathe.
“You, too, Kitten. Keep that phone close by. Call me when you wake up.”
“I will,” I promise, and then I hang up. I don’t want to, but he’s right, we both have busy days tomorrow.
