I stared at the picture of the woman who had helped Enzo. She was beautiful, even covered in debris and blood. Her long, black, curly hair seemed to itch for me to touch it, and those piercing brown eyes seemed to hold secrets, telling me she could see right through me. I narrowed my eyes at the man next to her.
“Who’s this?” I pointed to him in the picture.
Bella smirked, her eyes glinting with a knowing look. “That’s Devon Parker. He owns Parker’s Construction. He’s the leading real estate developer in Providence. He’s currently building the Parker Condominiums over on Charles Street. You’ve spoken with him several times over the phone.”
I shook my head, flicking the picture onto the table in frustration. “I can’t believe we were bought out by him.”
Luca sighed, his tone resigned. “We just didn’t have enough savings to be able to afford the property and build.”
I held up my hand, stopping him. “I want you to dig up everything on Devon Parker and whoever she is.”
Luca grabbed the photo, staring at it intently. “It shouldn’t be hard. I’ll get right on it.”
I gestured to Dominic and Angel. “Get over to the hospital and check on Enzo, please. I want details of what happened as soon as possible.”
Bella gestured to herself, her expression curious. “And me?”
I stared at her momentarily, considering her connections. “I want you to connect with your police friend and see what you can get. I want to know who was in charge and how close they are to finding whoever did this.”
As everyone dispersed to their tasks, I found myself lingering over the photograph again. The woman's image captivated me, her strength and beauty striking even in such a dire state. There was something about her that drew me in, a fierce determination that matched the fire in her eyes.
I couldn't help but imagine what it would be like to touch her, to run my fingers through that cascade of dark curls, to feel her warmth. The thought sent a shiver down my spine, an unsettling mix of intrigue and desire. Irritated with myself, I unbuckled myself. This was low, even for me. I haven’t even seen her naked, but I’m extremely turned on. I stroked myself up and down, imagining the way her lips would feel around my c**k. I thrust into my hand a few times, and before I knew it, I was coming to the thought of her moaning my name.
I hurriedly cleaned myself up before joining my team. I needed to get laid, or the next thing I know I'll be rubbing one out to Bella. I shuddered and found Luca in the bar, pouring over images on his computer, trying to match them to the mystery woman.
