My heart is even racing so hard I can

When I can’t take it anymore. I look away, but Carmella keeps moaning against Dominic’s laps and it makes my blood boil. t because I wish that couldve been me, no way in the world to want to kiss this asshole, but because this is happening

I cant help but smile at the situation and it’s not because I’m amused in any way. I just don’t want to stay here any longer. I’ve seen enough of them

Tilbe leaving now” I sigh deeply as I rise to my feet, clutching my purse after picking it up from the table.

I didn’t say you could leave,” he says to me harshly and his gaze is threatening.

“But I thought we discussed everything” I shrug, wondering why else he still wants to keep me there.

Just so I can watch the two of them? Absolutely not

“Not

“Not quite everything has been discussed,” he says. “You and my babe need to discuss your friendship.”
