Chapter 24

Alec

As soon as we opened the door and walked in, I scanned the room for an intruder. You would think we were attacked, but that wasn't the case. There were chairs overturned and shattered glass scattered all over the hardwood floor.
There was no sign of forced entry so it only meant one thing. Lucien and Caterina definitely shared words by the condition the room was in. They shared more than words as I spotted the bright red bra on the back of the sofa.
I looked over to Giovanni and he was grinning as if he had just won a prize. I chuckled at his amusement.
"Damn, what did you do Giovanni?" I breathed out.
There was no sign of Lucien or Caterina, but I had a feeling I knew where they were. The bra was enough proof to tell me that. He probably had her trapped somewhere upstairs owning that ass.
"It's about damn time he made his move on her." I kissed the side of her neck and she turned her head giving me a look like she wasn't surprised.
"They've already had sex. He took her virginity." She mused leaning into me.
"What? When?" Lucien never said anything about this.
"One drunken night four years ago. She kept it a secret because she thought her father would kill Lucien."
Oh, Caterina, you are so wrong.
"He's been trying to get the two together for years." I rubbed her knuckles with my fingers.
As we made our way upstairs, we passed by Caterina's room to hear a thumping sound against the wall and moans. I guess they've quit fighting it.
Giovanni and Nikolai have formed an alliance together. I don't like the Russians, but I respect him for what he did for me. He kept Courtney safe and for that I trust him. If it weren't for him, she would have been taken and possibly killed.
Courtney stands in front of me and loosens my tie taking it off and begins unbuttoning my shirt. I don't know what I deserved to get a woman like her. I was a straight-up asshole to her, but here she is still with me. I bring her face closer to mine and kiss her lips gently. She makes me feel things I never felt before and honestly it scared the shit out of me.
"What are you thinking about?" Her finger trailed down my chest and placed her hand on my belt.
"Nothing as of right now."
She hummed as she unbuckles my belt and pulls at the zipper letting my pants drop to the floor. "I take that back. I'm thinking of all the things I could be doing to your body."
I leaned down to step out of my pants and walked her to the bed.
"When do you want me to talk to Nicole?" She pressed her lips to my neck.
I don't really want to talk about this while she's doing this to me.
"Tomorrow." I pulled her by her dress, "I don't want to talk about this right now. I've got other things on my mind."
She had her body pressed to mine and it made me so hard the way her mouth felt on my skin. She was so sexy when she was in control and demanding. Tonight I would let her be the one who held all the cards.
She shoved me on the sofa and let her dress drop pooling at her feet. I licked my lips and she hovered over me grabbing my length and teased the tip. She was fucking killing me!
"Courtney baby!" My breathing became ragged as she straddled me.
I couldn't help myself. I pushed her down on me thrusting hard and fast as she rolled her hips. She knew exactly how I like the way she moved while she rode me. She arched her back and pressed my face in her breasts. I could just live here.
I sucked and licked at her nipples biting and sucking them as she braced herself to the headboard. If she wanted it hard and fast, then that's exactly how I would give it to her.
I felt her clamp down around me and that just drove me over the edge even more. "Fuck me, Alec!" She screamed in pleasure gripping the headboard.
My thrust became harder and sloppier as she came around my cock. "Harder Alec!"
If she wants harder than that's what she'll get.
"You.Want.It.harder?" I growled out between thrusts going harder each time.
"Yes!" My balls tightened up as I dug my fingers in her hips and then I knew I was going to cum any second. My hips jerked as I shot my hot load right in her and filled her up. We both had sweat dripping down our bodies and my eyes became heavy. I had fucked her so hard I fell asleep still inside her.
The next morning, I woke up to screaming coming from downstairs. I cleaned myself up after all the events of last night and proceeded to find out what was going on. I scanned the room expecting to see Lucien and Caterina fighting, but it was a woman I'd never seen before. She slapped him and ran out the front door.
"Do I even ask?" He blew out a breath of frustration and stormed out after her.
Today is the day Courtney is supposed to talk to my sister and try to convince her to meet with me.
Why doesn't she want to see me?
Is she ashamed of what she does?
I've waited all my life for the day I would find her and bring us together again. You would think she would be happy to see me, but no. She specifically asked Gio to not let me see her and today I intend to find out why.
I walked Courtney in the club and hid in the corner where Nicole couldn't see me. My blood boiled and I clenched my fists when I saw her come out in nothing but a thong and a see-through bra with heels.
She slid down the pole and spun around to the bottom as these men were throwing money at her. One even had the nerve to slip some money on the side of her panties. I wanted to fucking kill each and every one of those disgusting creatures. I can't call them men because that's not what they are.
I was gripping the table so hard I'm surprised it didn't break. When she finished dancing, she grabbed up the money and headed backstage. I followed her but froze before I went around the corner. I heard his voice and I knew exactly who it was.
Tony.
He was supposed to be a loyal friend and what does he do. He betrayed me. When I looked around the corner he had his arm around her waist as they walked in her dressing room. I'm going to kill him!
I stalked towards the door and Luca stood there shaking his head no as he crossed his arms over his chest.
"Not here." He commanded me.
I started to push him out of the way but got shoved back to the wall. He clenched my shirt in his fist. "No. Go home."
I nodded acting like I was going to listen, but pulled a fast one on him. I pushed past him and kicked down the door. Tony was whispering to her and when they turned around his eyes widened in fear.
"Alec! It's not..." I pulled back my fist and punched him in the jaw.
"You bastard!" I fisted his shirt and pulled my fist back again and connected with his face.
My sister stood there screaming at me to stop and Luca pulled me off of Tony.
"You're seriously going to stop me after what he did!" I glared at him and had blood dripping from my knuckles. "He's sleeping with my sister!"
My sister kneeled down with a rag in her hand wiping the blood off his face. How could he do this to me? I trusted him! Everyone in the room was quiet until Tony spoke up.
"I-I didn't know." He whispered and Luca got on his phone calling for Lucien probably.
Courtney came running in and Luca asked her calmly. "Can you take Alec home? He needs to cool down."
She nodded and took me by the arm leading me to the back where I parked the vehicle. It's bad enough that she's a stripper, but Tony messing around with her was too much. The way Nicole looked at me in pure fear was the most painful feeling I had ever had. My own sister was afraid of me and I don't know if she'll ever talk to me again.
I let him in!
I fucking let him in and he completely destroyed my trust!
This is why I don't trust people easily.
They betray you the second you let your guard down.
There's only one person I trust right now.
The woman I'm in love with and that is Courtney.
Giovanni stood in the doorway with a pained look. "We need to talk. Courtney, give us a moment alone."
She nodded and I followed him in the office. "I'm assuming you know about Tony and Nicole. You want answers, yes?"
I stayed quiet and he continued, "Tony is the father of her baby."
I couldn't talk.
I couldn't move.
I couldn't do anything but feel myself sinking to the floor and blacking out.
