âJoseph,â I call, yelling over the roar of the crowd as I walk Haven into the office. Now a grown man who was once just a directionless teen getting himself in trouble, swaggers towards me with respect and confidence. Giovanni took Joseph under his wing per his fatherâs request and the bossâs approval and made him a loyal soldier. When Antonio had him watching Lilah, when they couldnât figure their shit out, Joseph did a stellar job. So, I trust him to do the same with Haven.
âSir?â
âShe is yours tonight.â
His eyes sparkle with mischief as they start to lower. âWatch yourself,â I warn. The fact that he is just a year or two older than her only adds more depth to my warning. He laughs and returns his gaze to mine. âShe will become my wife tomorrow.â I give him another warning through the tone of my voice. It goes without saying, you donât touch another manâs wife, but no one touches a woman married to a man in the mafia unless you want to die.
âOnly if Ghost loses. Which he wonât.â Haven jumps into the conversation with more sparkle in her eyes than she had when we walked in here.
Joseph smiles at her. Then looks back to me and raises his brows.
âTake her over to the south corner of the ring,â I tell him, so that I can keep an eye on herâthemâsince Joseph canât keep his eyes off her. In hindsight, challenging her to go without the shirt underneath her top was not one of my best orders.
The announcement is called for the next fight. The two of them start to walk away but not without me pulling Haven back and laying an unforgiving kiss on her lips. I leave her breathless, and me somewhat shocked at my actions. I watch until Joseph has her where I asked him to bring her before I head to the back where the fighters wait for their match to be called. I pass one of the fighters in the hall, and a few minutes later as I am discussing business with another fighter, the next guy is called to the ring. I finish my conversation and head back to the main floor.
Haven stands at ringside, excitement fueling her body. Watching her is an aphrodisiac. If she knew how stunning she really is, she would be lethal. I have to say, there are men in my position who may not be so lucky as to have someone like Haven placed in their path, but I must admit Iâm beginning to think I lucked out.
I start to head back to the office to watch the fight but find myself stepping up behind her. âWant to bet on this one too?â
âI am not marrying you tonight.â
âYou will be. It will just be in the sexual union way and not the before Godâs eyes way.â She blushes. âAre you ready for me, cosabella?â
âWhat does that mean?â
âBeautiful thing.â
âSo, I moved up now? I am no longer a puppy, but a thing?â
âA beautiful one.
