He shrugs nonchalantly. "Never had a woman sleep over before."
I can't stop my jaw from dropping. He's full of shit. He's got to be. Or that means...
I shake my head, dismissing the ridiculous thought.
"My housekeeper and maids should be here at 7. Make sure you eat something. You won't be sitting around my house starving."
"King, I don't have money to pay-"
"I don't want money even if you did," he drawls, his eyes darkening. "God, your husband is such a huge piece of shit, but I'll fix that."
I swallow hard, unsure how to respond to that. Then, I remember that I need to ask him what the hell he told Niko and why we still haven't heard anything from my brother.
"Do you think you can stay with Zuri for a moment? I need to talk to King," I ask Niko, who's now playing with Zuri on the floor.
Damn, I guess my own daughter has replaced me. All of her attention is on him like I don't even exist.
Niko nods, not even bothering to look up. "Sure thing, sweet girl."
Ugh. What's up with these guys and all their nicknames for me?
I roll my eyes, and follow King to his office while leaving the door slightly open in case Zuri needs me.
"Did you tell him about us?" I whisper, glaring at King.
King tilts his head, his eyes piercing through me. "What about us?" he asks innocently.
"What do you mean? I don't know...maybe the fact that you blackmailed me into fucking you last night," I retort, still managing to keep my voice low.
He rolls his eyes, as if I'm the one getting on his nerves and not the other way around. "Don't act like you didn't enjoy it, kitten. I bet your tight little cunt is pulsating just from the memory of me inside you." He reaches down, cupping my pussy through my leggings, pressing me firmly against the wall. I close my eyes, biting my cheek to stop the moan threatening to escape.
"S-Stop touching me," I say, my breath coming out in short, desperate pants.
Niko sniffs the air, his nostrils flaring. My cheeks start to burn, and I hope he doesn't realize what just happened. What I allowed to happen. Again. Because I can't seem to resist King's charms.
"Niko, I have a few things to take care of today. Can you stay here with our kitten and Zuri?" King asks, but it comes out sounding more like a command.
Niko grins. "Sure, I'll make sure our ladies don't get into trouble."
I don't miss the way he says "ladies", like my daughter and I are their possessions or something. Anger surges through me, but I bite my tongue. As much as I don't want to feel like I'm being babysat, I'm also aware that Isaac can find me at anytime and we need their protection.
"What about Gray? Will you let me know if he calls?" I ask, biting my lip. "You know, since I lost my phone."
King's mouth twitches. "Of course, Kitten."
Before I can say anything else, he leaves the room, his presence lingering like a storm cloud ready to burst.
Niko turns back to us, his eyes glinting with amusement. "Now, what do you ladies want to do for the day?"
