you?”
My eyes widened. “What? No, I’m not.” Was I?
“Oh, yes you are.” He laughed.
“You’re sick in the head.”
His brow furrowed and a malicious smile spread on his face. “Oh, cochina , you have no idea.”
“Why do you care how I feel about him?”
He shrugged. “I don’t, but baby, he’s going to eat you up and spit you out. Sebastian Chelios doesn’t commit, never has and never will. Especially if I have anything to do with it.”
“What the hell does that mean?”
His grin widened. “Oh, you’ll see.”
“Well, I think you’re wrong about him.”
“Am I? Give it time. You’ll see. He’s just using you, and when he gets bored, he’ll toss you on your ass.”
Anger made my blood boil, and my fists clenched. “Why do you fucking care?”
He rubbed his jaw and thought a moment. “Hmm…I haven’t decided yet. I will warn you though, don’t try and stay away from him. He will find you. And as long as you play nice, I won’t hurt you, even though it is fucking tempting.” He leaned down again and ran a tongue up my neck, making my skin crawl. Bile rose in my throat.
“What do you want from me?” I whispered, heart thudding against my chest.
Jose lifted his head and looked down at me, a malicious smirk on his face. He winked at me and turned, walking back the way Sebastian left.
Chapter 12
I stood there, frozen in place, and I jumped when warm arms wrapped around me.
“It’s just me.” Brett’s deep soothing voice calmed my nerves, and I took deep breaths, steadying my beating heart. “What did he say to you?”
I swallowed a couple of times before forming the words on my tongue. “I asked him what he wanted from me, and he didn’t answer. He just winked at me and walked away. I…he…I don’t know what to do. I don’t know what he wants.”
I sighed, not bothering to tell Brett the whole conversation. That would just make him madder, and he probably already knew what a sadistic fuck Jose was anyway.
“Let’s get you home.” With his arm still around my shoulders, Brett led me back to his car.
My phone rang as I sat down in the passenger seat, and I saw that it was Keisha. “Hey.”
“Oh my gosh, I’m so glad to hear your voice. Brett told me what happened.”
“Yeah…” Sliding into the passenger seat, I watched Brett walk around to the driver’s side. His stance was gruff, tense…concern clearly etched on his handsome features.
“Are you okay?” Keisha asked, interrupting my thoughts.
“Yeah, I’m fine. Jose is an asshole, and I’m confused all to hell, but I’m okay.”
“Well, I’m glad you’re okay, but why are you confused?”
“Sebastian told your brother to watch out for me.” I didn’t understand why Sebastian would say that. Clearly he didn’t like him. So many questions pounded in my skull.
“What? He can’t stand my brother.”
“I know! That’s what I don’t understand,” I said, exasperated.
“Listen, why don’t you come over here? We can have a girls’ night.”
“Can you drive me to your sister’s place, please?” I asked Brett.
He nodded.
“We’re on our way,” I told Keisha and disconnected the call. As we drove to her place in silence, I was left with my thoughts. I didn’t know what to do about Sebastian or Jose. I was very confused. Was I falling in love with him like Jose said? I hadn’t thought of it until now. I cared for him deeply, yes, but was it love?
I had been thinking that we were getting somewhere, and then all of a sudden Sebastian asked the man he hates to watch over me? Something was going on, and I was determined to find out what one way or another.
Then there was Jose. That man terrified me. Just thinking about him sent ice-cold shivers down my spine. He said he wouldn’t hurt me as long as I played nice. What did he mean by that? Was he going to expect me to do something, and if I didn’t, then he would hurt me? What had I gotten myself into, and how did I get out of
