My Gangster Babysitter 75|The Intruder
~Kai~Kissing her had always been out of this world, but tonight, after that talk, kissing her meant the world.She’s in it with me. Fuck! My hands, circling the narrow columns of her neck, moved to take a fistful of her hair. They were strands of silk between the gaps in my fingers.My body berated my brain for pulling away, stopping the kiss before it turned heated. I am aware of where we are, and I blame myself for trying so damn hard to be a romantic. That wasn’t me. Now I was enduring the worst kind of blue balls, my body burning with lust even though it was freezing out here.Foreheads pressed flush, white smoke billowed between us from our deep heaves as we caught our breath.Benny bit her lip, frustration evident in her honeyed green eyes. “Kai…” her palms covered mine.“Hm?” I pulled away just enough so I could admire her.She was so beautiful my chest aches just looking at her. She’s finally mine - at least I had a shot at making her mine. I worry she’d push me away, that my
My Gangster Babysitter 76|One Good Reason
~Kai~The oxygen supply around us became scarce, seemingly insufficient for three people. I heaved a couple of deep breaths, flicking the lights open, white light spilling inside the apartment.Klaus spun from his spot on the breakfast bar, a scowl marring his face. His gaze slid from mine to Benny, hidden behind half of my body, then back at me. He grimaced, grabbed his rock glass, and sipped the golden brown liquid.“Benny, can you give us a moment?” His voice was devoid of emotion. Klaus, although ruthless and feared by our enemies, had never spoken to his team. He’d always been playful, joking around. The last time I saw him this mad was when he found out Ghost lied to him.Benny stepped out from my shadow, standing beside me. “Klaus, don’t get mad at Kai.” She sounded calm, as if I had imagined her terrified face moments ago. I didn’t need her rescue. I prepared myself long ago for this conversation, but not early on this stage. We just got everything out in the open, for fuck’
My Gangster Babysitter 77|Broken, Beautiful Pieces
~Kai~I didn’t have enough time processing this turn of events. Klaus grinned from ear to ear. Then he stepped forward. One step became two, followed by another until he was in front of me. He slapped a hand over my shoulder, turning me towards the alley entrance.“Get a grip, Kai,” Klaus said, stirring me out of the dark alley.I swallowed, moving on autopilot. I mean, I am fucking ecstatic about still having my limbs intact, but none of this makes sense.“I know the prospect of being my brother-in-law is overwhelming, but you can breathe now. It’s only me.” He chuckled, the cackle filling the empty street.That’s my cue. I’m not hallucinating. This cocky bastard played me like a puppet. It was a setup, and I fear there was more to this story than I’m aware of.He stirred me further from the apartment, dropping his arm from my shoulder.“We are going the wrong way,” I said, slowing my steps.“Nah,” he kept walking, pulling his phone out. “We’re gonna go for a drink. We need to talk.
My Gangster Babysitter 78|Too Much
~Benny~My outward display of doubt should have turned Kai off. He should run for the hills. I barely hold myself together while waiting for him to come back. My ass carved a permanent engraving on the couch as the clock ticked. My head was a mess. He was gone for an hour and a half, and I was certain he’d never come back, yet I waited. I eyed the door like a hawk waiting for its prey. And when he came back, I felt dread wash over me. He surpassed my expectations, yet I still can’t acknowledge that he remained true to his words.Like his promise, he came back, and now he’s kissing me as though I was a tall glass of water and he was in dire need of a drink.In his room, we lay in the dark, facing one another. The fondness in his eyes as he watched me watch him in the dimly lit room was so comforting I was afraid to soak in it.Sex had always been on top of my things to do with Kai. But this is something else. There was something different about the way he looked at me. Like he’s cont
My Gangster Babysitter 79|Baby Steps
~Kai~There had been a change of plan.Remy Garnier, Adelar’s first born son, wanted to meet far from the safe house, specifically from Rain’s claws. He claimed that the little minx made him shit his pants.He waited for us in the cafe downtown for breakfast. With blond hair tied in a low ponytail, dressed in a sharp blue suit that matched the color of his searching eyes, he stood once we stepped inside the breakfast house.Benny and I walked behind Klaus. He dropped by the apartment, and we drove here in convoy.Remy tried to conceal his fear when he saw Klaus. His lips faltered as the distance between us disappeared. Recognizing Klaus from their meeting yesterday, he greeted him first, clasping Bossman’s hand with both of his. He turned to me, a cautious smile, as he shook my hand.I read his file. He was one of Paris’s sharpest and most respectable young businessmen, but he stood before us with sweaty palms. What did Rain do to him?“Benny…” his expression softened when he saw Benn
My Gangster Babysitter 80|Slow Down
~Kai~I watched Benny skimming her fingers through the edge of the quartz countertop, taking in the minimalist design of the kitchen.We just finished the house tour. Annabelle, the agent, allowed us some alone time to get a feel of the house. This was the third on our list, and for me, this townhouse best suited my ideal home.The two-story townhouse is a twenty minute drive away from the city. It had a terrace slash garden, and since it was spring, the flowers were already blooming. The living room has a fireplace, an idea of cozy winter nights with Benny while we drink wine and cuddle in front of the fire, her feminine scent mingling with the burning wood slithered in front of my thoughts. It opens to a dining terrace connected to the kitchen where we are right now. I pictured us making breakfast, flirting, making out on this very island, and in the evening, I’d make dinner for Benny before she came home from work. There is a basement we could turn into a game room and home cinema.
My Gangster Babysitter 81|If You Give Up
~Kai~I lay in Benny’s unmade bed, searching for reason in the darkness. Her scent lingered on her bed, sweet, feminine with a pinch of spice, comforting and depressing in equal measure. She must’ve gone home and slept, then decided to leave instead. My mind was going in circles, figuring out where she was and what could be going through her mind.How the fuck did we end up here? Was it all my fault? Was I really going too fast? All these questions kept bouncing back and forth in my head, unhinging me.In my heart, I knew Benny needed time to figure out what she wanted, who she wanted to spend her life with. I fucking hope she chose me, that she’d come back, but if she doesn’t, I have to let her go. How? I don’t know. Maybe I’ll go rogue, be an assassin.My loss morphed into anger directed at the people who broke her apart. Dominguez, her mother, and somehow, me. I contributed to her self-doubt when I left her on the island.I’d wait for her. It’s not even a question. She got me for
My Gangster Babysitter 82|Some Company
~Benny~Rylee and Markus acted as if they knew nothing about why I appeared in the mansion’s doorway in the middle of the night, with puffy eyes and a wreck, no less. They acted casually around me, and so did Ro and Hunter, who’d been assigned by Klaus to watch over his family.Klaus was a security freak. This place was a fortress, but I got it. They doubled the security for everyone after Melanie.It had been a week since I arrived in Sicily. Kai’s voicemails and messages remained unopened on my phone. Apart from having no heart to listen to his voice or read his messages, I was too ashamed of what I’d done... for running away. I’m so fucked up in the head.Coward, that’s what I am. A big fucking coward.I’d been restless, unable to sleep, moving on autopilot but feeling empty inside. I mapped the trails around the estate morning and afternoon. At midday, I helped around the house, doing chores. Jimmy, the butler, scolded me twice, then gave up telling me not to do house chores. And
