MATTEO

T he possibility of this saleswoman not remembering who I am flew right out the front door when she opened it. What are the fucking chances that the last woman I let blow me in my club is the salesperson for my wife?

The only reason I came here was because of my cousin, Liana. I believe in supporting my family, and as my favorite cousin, my only cousin, I wanted to bring Luxtyn to her boutique to see if there's anything she might like.

I had no fucking idea Ashley worked here, but why would I? I didn't look into her work history before letting her suck my cock, but I sure as hell wish I had now.

She closes my wife into the dressing room and sashays her way up to me before dropping her hand on my arm, making my stomach churn. "I was excited when Liana informed me you would be coming in today, but I had no idea you got married. And to a different girl than that one that came into the club that night, nonetheless."

I cock a brow at Ashley's hand on my arm before peeling it off me like she's some disease. Because that's what she is. A disease that's come back with a vengeance. Not what I need right now.

She falters slightly as I release her hand. I drop my voice low, making sure only she can hear me. "Listen closely, Ashley. You have one job today, and that's to find some clothes for my wife . You and I don't know each other. You and I don't have a history. Do you understand?"

She looks back and forth between my eyes, and I swear I can smell the fear wafting off her. But it's not just fear I smell. It's stupidity. Her overconfidence makes her dense. She better not do anything fucking stupid.

The corners of her mouth tick up as she broadens her smile, showcasing her white teeth. "I understand, Matteo," she says with a gleam in her eyes and in a sultry tone that makes my hair stand on end, not in a good way.

Turning on her heel, she walks back toward Luxtyn's dressing room. I decide to check in with Rocco and Tito, who've posted up outside the boutique, ignoring the sixth sense I have that's telling me Ashley's going to be more trouble than her mediocre dick-sucking skills were ever worth.
