Capitolo 23

"Callum, wait."

"I'm done waiting," I growled as I stormed off toward the S.U.V.s that had just pulled up.

"You're injured!" Dominic yelled hopelessly, as if that simple fact would stop me. I ignored him and kept on walking, the three of them following as well as some others. I climbed into the very backseat and sat down, glaring out the window while Dominic, Adrian, and Bryan got in as well as two more men who sat in the driver's seat and passenger. Bryan sat next to me silently but I could feel his watchful eye on me.

Nothing was said during the trip to wherever we were going but I assumed halfway to our destination Dominic had finally had enough of the silence. He whipped around in his seat to glare at me as Adrian watched him with a sigh.

"I get it that you're pissed but you can't do shit the way you are now," he started off while jabbing a finger in my direction. I returned his glare coldly but waited for him to finish whatever thought he had. "I don't understand how you think your dad is going to hear you out when you look like you just got mauled by a bear. Seriously Callum, don't be an idiot."

"The only idiot is the one lecturing someone who looks like they were mauled by a bear." I smirked as his face reddened from anger.

"Do you want me to kick you in your pretty face?"

"Go for it, I'd love an excuse to bend you over my knee for a beating."

Dominic was about to retort when Adrian pulled him straight into his chest and murmured something in his ear, further pissing me off.

"Hey! I'm not-whoa!"  I was yanked backward into Bryan's broad chest. His arms circled around me, one trapping me against him in this awkward position and the other snaked it's way across my chest until he gripped my chin, forcing me to look at him.

Bryan peered down at me with his hazel eyes that barely contained his anger. "I suggest you stop while you're ahead. You're injured now but in a few weeks I won't hesitate to punish you for your behavior."

His words were meant to make me not go any further or ask any questions, but I'm a curious man.

"That's it?" Bryan raised a brow as if to ask me if I was stupid. "What,  they way you say it makes me believe I've had worse."

Bryan smirked and bent down so he was able to whisper in my ear.

"Sexually?"

I quickly clammed up and stared straight ahead as he chuckled, the rumbles from his chest vibrating through my back. I saw Dominic poke his head up over the seat again but this time his eyes were wide while Adrian seemed a bit shocked.

"Hot damn," Dominic breathed. He turned to Adrian with a cheeky grin. "Your office as soon as we get back."

My face lit up while everyone in the vehicle groaned, including Adrian.

Thump.

Thump thump.

Thump.

"I'm gonna kill them." I muttered hatefully as I glared at the stairs that led to the second story where all the noise was coming from.

Bryan sighed but ignored me and the sounds despite how loud they were. When the thumping continued I lazily rolled my head towards him to make sure he saw how annoyed I was.

Without sparing me a glance he spoke to me as if I was an unruly child. "Just ignore it Callum," he groaned. "And knock it off with the sour face."

The thumping continued and I rolled my eyes, trying my best to ignore it but then sounds of something being dragged across the floor came from the same room.

"Did they kill someone?" Bryan murmured as he finally looked somewhere besides the files he was buried in.

"Maybe Dom sucked the soul straight outta your boss's body." Bryan gave me a less than amused look while silence enveloped us for a moment.

"Kinky," was his only response.

"Oh God yes!"

I was off the couch, my left brow twitching from a mixture of frustration and irritation which drove me to run up the stairs.

"Callum!"

I ignored Bryan and banged on the door where the two culprits were hiding and yelled, "if I can't have sex then you sure as hell can't Moser!"

"Or what, Forrest?" Dominic taunted, his voice muffled by the closed door.

"I'll have you screaming uncle, Percival." I tried to open the door but was unable to since it was locked from the inside.

I heard shuffling before Dominic spoke from next to the door, startling me.

"I'd rather scream daddy."

I launched myself at the closed door, slamming into it and remaining there probably looking like some weird sea creature hugging it.

"Open this goddamn door you closeted bitch."

Something heavy crashed into the door from his side making it rattle and made my flight instinct kick in as I flew back to the wall. I heard Adrian's deep voice followed up with more moaning.

"Oh ew!" I cried as Bryan jogged up the stairs. He took one look at my disgusted face and busted out laughing. He held his hand out, gesturing me to go with him; a request I gladly accepted.

"I thought you'd want to know," he began as he wanted back to the stack of files and his computer. "A pal of mine was able to help me track down your brother's daughter. She's with some of her mother's friends and  they're using the guise that she's their kid. We've contacted them and they're willing to arrange a co-parenting agreement. Fifty-fifty custody so to speak."

I shrugged since I found the condition agreeable and not outrageous. "What's the downside?"

"I can't fuck you until next week when the doctor says you can partake in extra curricular activities."

"They're just bruised ribs!" I complained.

"Not listening."

"Bryan-"

"Lalala." He stuck his fingers in his ears like the child he was.

"I'm gonna die from sexual frustration!"

He continued to ignore me and busied himself with something on his computer. Without a second thought I straddled him, catching him by surprise, and slowly started to grind against him.

"Please?" I asked, peering up through my lashes.

He groaned and moved me off him, scrubbing his face with his hands.

"Wait for me in my room tonight at eleven."

I quickly hurried out of the room while pumping my fist in the air satisfied with my victory. If he thinks we aren't having sex then he better guess again because I'm coming for that Italian ass.
