Chapter Five

Roman

"I think she's going to be alright, angel."

The woman over my shoulder stiffens and I feel her hands on my lower back as she tries to prop herself up so she can look at Roan after he calls her sister ‘angel'.

"Angel? Did you just…," she starts to speak to Roan but starts hitting and poking me in the ribs, "turn, turn me."

Her hands land on my backside in short slaps but she doesn't mean them the way I do when I put my hands on her like that. She's just trying to get my attention and make me do what she wants me to. Honestly, it's a good way because I stop walking towards the stairs and do as she asks before I can think of doing anything else.

"Did you just call my sister ‘angel'?"

"Hi, I'm Roan." He holds his hand out for her to shake. "And yes, I did. Your sister is my angel…and my girl."

Roan has no idea. This wildcat would sooner rip his hand off than be civil. Believe me, I know. To prove me right, she doesn't take his outstretched hand and I can almost feel her narrow her eyes at him.

"Really?" It's not Sunshine that asks the question though...her sister does.

"Uh, yeah. You most definitely are my girl, angel."

"Hold your horses, Mr. She's-Mine. You and me have a lot of talking to do before you just go off with my sister. I have questions, like what are your intentions towards… you know what, this would be a lot easier if you put me down."

Yeah, that ain't going to be happening anytime soon.

"Just…just put me…"

"Not going to happen, Sunshine." I look back and see her eyes turn incredulous that I wouldn't do as she bid. "You aren't wearing any fucking clothes, sweetheart."

"Don't you start with me! Don't god damned start, Roman."

She says my name like it's a slur, but it has the opposite effect going straight to my cock. You know my name, very good, sunshine. You'll be screaming it by the time I'm done with you. I start for the stairs again wondering where the hell that came from. That is so not like me…is it?

"Wait! Where are you taking my sister?"

"To find some fucking clothes."

If she is hell-bent on having it out with Roan, she is going to be dressed when she does it.

"Watch your mouth, Rome. No one swears at my girl!"

The little demon over my shoulder props herself back up on my back, "I like him!"

That earns her another swat on the ass. She better mean she likes him for her sister because I have no problem taking Roan in a fight. He's a good guy…and I'm not! I wouldn't think twice about playing dirty to get what I want. I am a businessman after all.

It's not just something I've learned recently either. This kind of ruthlessness was bred in me. My father was a ruthless bastard and his father before him. I have no qualms about using any trick I can to make sure I have what belongs to me, whether that's money, a business…or this little ray of Sunshine.

I don't just sit her down and step back. Oh no, that wouldn't do with someone like this sexy little witch. I throw her on the bed -my bed- and watch as she bounces. As expected, it pisses her off.

I see hell fly into her eyes and like the way it looks.

"I couldn't sit you down on the floor…," I sweep my hand out over the debris-covered floor, all her own doing. "You might hurt your feet."

I step back with a smile on my face. She gives me a look to kill that doesn't do what she intends for it to, much like her saying my name.

"What kind of man would I be if I allowed you to hurt yourself?"

"The kind that sneaks up on unsuspecting women in their sleep and manhandles them when they are barely dressed."

This hits a little too close and the smile drops from my face.

"Don't try your shit with me, Roman. I know exactly what kind of…person you are."

God, why does everything this woman says turn me the fuck on. It's the equivalent of someone ringing the dinner bell…for my cock.

I rush her, not giving her time to react. Before she can blink, I am stretched out on top of her with my hand over her mouth and our faces so close she can see what's going on in my eyes. "You want to play with me, Sunshine? Do you want to find out what it's like to play the big girl version of tag? Alright, baby, we'll play."

I move my hand down to wrap it around her throat and drop a kiss on her full lips. I keep it easy and simple before I retreat from the room completely. Let her think about that all night long.
