Caught In Her Vengeance - Book 2

Chapter 54

Enzo

Walk the fuck away, Enzo! I screamed at myself as I slammed the door behind me. Irritation was rolling off me in waves in the parking lot, and I hurriedly ambled away from my parked truck. I had to get away from Catalina before I said or did something I regretted when I really wanted to walk back and give her a piece of my mind. But I didn't. Instead, I kept moving toward the glass gym doors.

The fuck would she say some shit about my dad for? And why the fuck did she still have that stupid fucking card that Kandy and Cherry gave her? I needed to toss that shit.

Grabbing the hideaway key, I unlocked all the locks and stomped into the empty building, slamming that fucking door too. I walked over to the mats and threw my shit down before I started stretching, making an effort to calm myself down. 

Moments later, I heard the door open and shut from behind me. With a heavy sigh, I clenched my jaw, and without looking back, I reached over my shoulder and pulled my hoodie off. I tossed it on the ground next to my bags, then kicked my shoes off.

I had Nic call in a favor to one of his buddies. We used to train here when we were younger. Before the old owner sold out and this place became a Crossfit Gym. So, today, the gym was closed to everyone else but Catalina and me, which I was pleased with, considering I wasn't planning on going easy on her.

Catalina

"You gonna hit me any time today or what?"

I was hunched over with my hands on my knees, trying to catch my breath. Enzo and I were both drenched in our own sweat. We had been going at it for an hour, and he hadn't let up on me at all.

Standing straight up, with my nostrils flared, I brought my hands to my hips. "I'm... trying." I breathed out through clenched teeth, my chest heaving in front of me. He just sneered at me and tilted his head to the side.

"Try harder," he said unforgivingly before he wiped the sweat dripping from his mouth with the back of his hand.

I snorted as my eyebrows shot up in disbelief, and I flipped him the bird with both hands. "Fuck you, asshole!"

"If it'll get you to hit me already, princess." Enzo laughed to himself in that snarky way he did sometimes and shrugged a shoulder. "I mean, from what I heard, you had more fight with Salvatore."

"God!" I rolled my eyes and irritatedly huffed out through my nose, using my wristband to wipe the sweat from my forehead. I shook my head and wet my lips, walking to the center of the dark red mat. "You are such a man."

"In full, baby." The cocky asshole winked before squaring up once more as he came to stand in front of me. "Now come at me again," he said, and we were nearly toe to toe though he was only a bit taller than me. He was quite intimidating, but that didn't stop me from poking at him.

"I'm betting Kandy with a K, and Cherry know all about that, huh, Zozo?"

I wasn't really sure if I had a death wish or not, but for some reason, that was beyond me; I couldn't let it go. No fuck that. If he could bring up who I was fucking. I could do the same.

Instead of responding, Enzo only gestured for me to come at him with his two fingers.

Silently counting to ten in my head, I used every bit of energy I had left and stepped into it with my whole body when I threw my right fist in his direction. I wanted to punch him in his smug face. Only that wasn't what happened. He anticipated my every move, dodging them with a quickness.

Enzo tsked into my ear as he sidestepped, and his hand came up to wrap around my wrist. I yelped when my entire body was whipped around hard as fuck. I was immediately on my toes as my arm was bent behind my back before he forcefully shoved me to the ground. I was so irritated that I didn't even give myself a chance to recover before I was back on my feet. What I hadn't anticipated was him charging me.

"Woe! Woe!"

Sidestepping, I barely dodged the closed fist flying in my direction. I stumbled back a few paces. Without giving me time to steady myself, Enzo rushed me again, eventually causing me to lose my footing. The wet sound of my sweaty body hitting the floor mat echoed throughout the empty gym. I was knocked on my ass first before the back of my head made contact with the ground. Shit! Though there was a layer of cushion beneath us, it still hurt like fuck.

Damn it! My ears rang, and my head started pounding. The impact disoriented me for a brief moment. Yet, the minute I saw Enzo moving to climb over me, my fight or flight activated, and I flew into action, battling him off the best I could. We rolled for a bit before I finally gave in, and we landed with me on my back and him above me.

"You're the last one to fucking talk, Catalina," Enzo huffed as he hovered over my heaving body. I clenched my jaw and swung an arm attempting to throw a fist at the side of his face, but he caught it. I groaned when he slammed my wrist down on the mat near my head and straddled my body with his. "You were back for two fucking seconds before you ended up in his bed."

Letting out an unamused laugh, I worked to release myself from his hold, painfully twisting my wrist between his long narrow fingers. He shook his head and reached down, roughly snatching my other arm and pinning it beside my head like it was nothing.

"Oh... please... Lorenzo," I breathed out harshly through clenched teeth, staring up at him, and his icy eyes bore into mine. "Give me a fucking break. You speak as though your bed was empty while I was away." I struggled to pull myself away from him to no avail, and I let out a frustrated moan. "We both clearly know that wasn't the case."

"It was," he cut his eyes at me.

Shaking my head, I snorted under my breath as I rolled mine at him. "Sorry, but I'm betting Kandy with a K and Cherry beg to differ," I said, wiggling beneath him, but I wasn't going anywhere anytime soon. He and I both knew it too.

Enzo's jaw flexed with evident irritation, and he tightened his hold on my wrist, making me hiss at the delectable sensation of the sweet burst of pain. A sudden wickedness flashed in his icy blue eyes, causing the corner of his lip to curl upward, and he smirked down at me as his nails sharply cut into my skin, and my breathing picked up as moisture built between my legs. "Again, little miss know it all, you're wrong. That makes twice in the last hour. It's almost like making assumptions about me makes an ass out of you, yeah, Catalina?"

From the outside looking in, you might think he was hurting me, but for us. This. This was foreplay.

"Just give it a fucking rest already. There is no need to spare my feelings. I'm a big girl."

Suddenly Enzo took both my wrists into one of his hands and pinned them above my head while taking my chin between his fingers to look up at him. He bared the lower half of his body down into my pelvis, holding me in place. A whimper fell passed my lips as warmth spread throughout my body, and I wanted his mouth on mine again.

"Wrong again," he told me smugly. "That's... What? Three times now. Looks like you're on a roll, sweetheart. Almost like you didn't know me at all." He shook his head and clicked his tongue against the back of his teeth in disapproval. I wasn't wrong...Was I? I thought to myself, peering up at him. "I never let them touch me. In fact, the only person who has touched me was me. You know better than anyone that I like to watch."

I shook my head, my chest heavily rising and falling between us. I could feel the sweat trickling down the side of my face as it dripped down onto the round of my cheek from his sharp chin. What the hell was he talking about? I saw him with them. Words escaped me as I tried to process what he was saying.

"B-But I saw you kissing them," I countered shakily, finally finding my ability to speak. "And the noises I heard from your room."

Snickering with conviction, he smirked like he always did. "Nothing ever went past that," Enzo said, wiggling his eyebrows and shrugging. He was still holding himself above me. "And those noises were all them." he winked. "What can I say? My dick doesn't play well with others, princess."

"Why?"

Some many thoughts were flying through my mind, but that was the only thing I could find myself able to vocalize.

Tilting his head to the side, he laughed again before he moved my face from side to side inside his hand. "Have you not been listening, Catalina," he asked, and I stupidly shook my head at his question, furrowing my brows at him.

"They weren't you. No one was," he told me, but I was far too stunned to formulate a response to anything he was saying. That was definitely a first for me. Enzo shook his head as he got up, leaving me on the mat to gather myself as I silently watched him pull himself together. "I'm gonna hit the showers before we head out. I hate driving home covered in my own sweat."

Swallowing hard, I nodded. "Y-Yeah, of course." I gaped up at him, still processing the words that had just left his mouth. He nodded and smiled before walking away and towards the showers.

I was so wrong about him.

So fucking wrong.

ツ hope you enjoyed it.
