Maid for the Mafia by Jaylee

Chapter 124

They have a contract...

**ROMANY**

My chest thumped, my heart skipping a beat and threatening to crack in two as I stare up into Alex's hazy green eyes. "What?" I choke out.

Alex's arms tighten on either side of me and he tips his head to the side to look over his shoulder. "Get out, cousin." *Cousin?! Cousin! Oh my God! Mickey!*

Peeking around Alex's wide shoulders, I push up just enough to see past his muscular frame. Sure enough, standing in the doorway is Mickey. Fully dressed and wearing a solid black impeccably pressed Italian suit, he looks devastating. And...angry.

"Mickey," I whisper, and our gazes clash.

His normally vibrant green eyes appear dull and lifeless when he looks at me. As if their usual spark has suddenly been snuffed out. The wide, teasing smile that I've grown accustomed to seeing from him is completely absent as he purses his lips and says, "It was unlocked."

"Have you forgotten how to knock, then?" Alex snaps, turning back to me with the strangest light in his eyes.

*He thinks this is funny. This is amusing to him.*

"How long have you been standing there?" I can't help but ask, shoving Alex off of me and tying my robe closed as I sit up.

Mickey stares at me for a long, quiet moment before he smiles ever so slightly and replies, "Long enough." There is something about the way he looks at me just then, the tiny crinkle next to his eyes, the half snarl to his upper lip - he's disappointed and I have a feeling it's because he heard something that he wasn't meant to. Something that *I* said. Something that Alex *told me* to say.

*Shit.*
