If You Were Ours

Chapter Sixteen - Kinsley/Tyson *

***Here's your smut warning besties ***

Kinsley ~

I didn't have much to accomplish that afternoon and thank God for that because my mind was still in Dane and Tyson's playroom.

Every way they touched me was the right way and they made me feel empowered and confident which was new and exhilarating for me. And each of them offered something completely different. Dane was the sweet talker - the flirt with the silver tongue and playboy antics that made me laugh and swoon every time I was around him. Tyson on the other hand rarely spoke and kept a serious scowl on his face majority of the time. I wasn't sure why but that rough exterior made me feel safe and cared for, especially when he went out of his way to be gentle with me which never went unnoticed. They were different in almost every way, but they both had the ability to make my knees weak and my panties wet.

After Dane had dropped me off at my apartment, I showered and threw on a comfy sun dress that showed a bit more skin than I usually did, but why not? I was feeling especially sexy that day and the fabric felt different on my skin after my night with Dane and Tyson.

The only thing I needed to accomplish that day was to get measurements for a large piece that I had just been contracted to complete. The woman left a voicemail, having seen my work at Adriana's and wanted me to stop by for a consultation.

I was thrilled to death to be scheduling new clients and I was sure, based on the address I was given, that this woman's house was going to be just as big if not bigger than Adriana's.

Crap what was her name again?

I pulled my phone to listen to the voicemail once more.

Gia. That's it. Gia.

I hopped in my car and made my way over to Gia's mansion of a home and was surprised when she greeted me at the door instead of a doorman or butler.

"Kinsley my dear, thank you so much for coming by with such short notice." Gia said.

Her voice was soft and loving and I could tell she was a mother right away. She guided me into her lavish home and walked me through the massive halls toward a sitting room that was already covered in art work.

"My husband Lorenzo is an art lover and insisted that we commission you to do something for this wall. He's always hated this landscape art and has wanted to replace it with something a bit more edgy forever and loved the piece you did for Adriana."

She and I talked for about twenty minutes, discussing color schemes and lighting.

"You know I'd love to surprise Lorenzo with another piece for his office. Something much smaller and understated. Would you mind taking a look?" Gia asked.

"Of course." I agreed happily.

Two commissions in one day? Holy crap!

Trying to conceal my excitement, I followed Gia down her hall past her kitchen and a few workers who were patching the wall adjacent to the large bay windows. My eyes wandered to see what type of renovations they were doing but found something completely different instead. They were patching holes in the dry wall...perfectly round holes.

Are those bullet holes?

My heart rate picked up at the sight and I quickly turned my head, pretending I didn't notice as I followed Gia toward her husbands study. Luckily she hadn't noticed my sudden nervousness and opened the large mahogany doors as she led me inside.

Gia was expecting the study to be empty and jumped slightly at the sight of her husband and two other men who were clearly having some sort of meeting.
