Sold To the Grizzly Don (Alcee and Bruno) novel Chapter 97

Chapter 97

“My love,” he finally rose from the bed and held his hand out to help her stand up, “admit you’ve had enough to drink, and I will gladly help you up and get you ready for bed. Tomorrow is coming in a few hours and while I know my mother already told me she will keep an ear out for Antero tonight while you sleep this off while I’m gone, you are going to suffer a horrible headache in the morning.”

“Where are you going?” she immediately was scrambling to take his hand. She staggered into him and against his chest. “Why are you leaving

“Alcee, tonight Corrado is back in town. I arranged for you and all the girls to be here to keep you safe while I’m out running this operation, Alcee. The building is a fortress. I bought the entire thing when I bought this apartment. Nobody gets in or out without encountering a lethal team. I have to go deal with him, but I brought your friends here to keep you all safe, together. I thought I you’d feel better knowing they were here with you while all this shit goes down.”

She rested her cheek against his chest, “I didn’t forget but I think 1 pushed it out of my head. I’m trying to avoid thinking of it.”

“And the alcohol and giggles with the girls helped,” he kissed the top of her head. “I’m glad they are here with you. However, I think it’s time to pack it in. The men and I need to leave here in a few minutes, and I can’t keep an eye on you when I’m trying to focus on the task I need to face. I need to concentrate on the task at hand and worrying whether or not you’re puking or passing out and smashing your head. Please, can we call an end to the festivities for tonight?”

Suddenly the sound of yelling from down the hall made both of them turn,

“Fuck, Kylen, what did you say now?” Torq muttered under his breath as Alcee began pulling away from his arms to go check on the situation.

She was suddenly regretting the last shots she’d done as she needed to rely on Turq’s arm to get her down the hall. All the alcohol was now settling deep into her veins, her kidneys not working quickly enough for her liking to filter out the booze from her system

“What the hell is going on out here?” she squawked out angrily as she saw Genevra standing on an ottoman yelling in Kylen’s face as he stood there stoically saying nothing

“He’s a fucking idiot,” Amal said with a snarky smile. “Man, I’ve heard a lot of dumb shit out of men’s mouths, but this guy takes the cake.”

“Amal, play nice,” Tito warned her with a tug of her hair.

*Why should I? He doesn’t. Is it wrong when you guys go out tonight I hope someone shoots him. Not to kill him or anything but a good wound would serve him well to remind him he’s only a man not a fucking god.” Amal countered as she smacked Tito’s hand away from her hair.

Alcee almost laughed when no sooner did she smack Tito’s hand did the man grab hers and hold it, kissing the back of her hand.

“Genevra!” Alcee called to the woman, “what is wrong?”

“He’s a facking idiot!” Tears rolled down the woman’s cheeks, “as soon as you finish this shit with Corrado,” she looked at Bastiano, “I’m going home and I’m never coming back to America again.”

“Like hell,”
