I felt my fight return in a rush.
“Mr. Conti.”
“Sonny,” he corrected me. “Please, Kenna, we’re closer than that.” His other hand brushed down my arm.
“That’s exactly my concern.” I slipped into a mocking tone as I ripped my hand away. “You say we’re close, yet you slipped a drug in my drink.” He held my gaze, and I saw no emotion flicker there. That concerned me more than if he’d lied. “You tried to get me up to your room that night. To do what, Sonny?”
“First, it was just a party drug. It’s Vegas, Kenna.” Obviously, he didn’t see how fucked up that was. “Second, you seem like a girl who enjoys a good time.”
“Well, you’ll never know, now, will you? After that stunt, you won’t ever see that side of me.”
His hand hit his chest like he was in pain. “Kenna, your words hurt.”
My phone buzzed again.
Grim: Walk the hell away.
Grim: Read my texts, Kenna!
I looked up at the camera and knew he was watching me from there.
Kenna: I can handle it.
“Hey,” Sonny covered my phone with his hand, “why don’t we start over, fresh?”
“Sure. Why don’t you walk over to the entrance and wait for me there?” I turned on my heel, only to hear him chuckle. I got three steps before Sasha stepped in my way.
“Can I steal two minutes of your time?”
“It’s not a good time.” I went to move, but he caught my arm.
“Your father said you could help me, and I’m running out of time.”
“Despite,” I looked down at his hold, “what my father thinks, he’s not in charge of my time.”
A hand suddenly reached forward and fastened itself around Sasha’s wrist. Sasha grunted in pain, and I broke free.
“Wrist, nose, and three ribs, that’s what I can break before your next blink,” Grim snarled, and I stepped away from them.
“Mr. Gates, I was just hoping?—”
“Like I explained earlier, my hotel isn’t ready to be toured yet. Miss Lodge has a job to do, and you and your friend,” he tossed a look at Sonny, “are keeping her from it.”
Sasha looked down at me with unreadable eyes then nodded a few times, and that alone sent a chill down my spine.
“Understood, Mr. Gates.” Grim let him go. “Sorry for the inconvenience. Let’s go, Sonny.” Sonny didn’t say anything else, which surprised me. They both walked away as we watched. “I’ll see you tonight, Kenna,” Sasha called over his shoulder.
“What the fuck does that mean?” Grim turned his temper on me.
“It means I get to relive my teens all over again.” I rolled my eyes. Apparently, Dad’s entourage was back. “He’s invited Sasha to a family dinner.” I watched as the two men went into a bar. “How’d you know he was here, anyway?”
“We’ve been watching Sonny since he bombarded me at my hotel and made a comment about you. I didn’t trust he wouldn’t go looking for you. Seems I was right.”
“Well, thanks, but I had it under control.”
“Clearly.” He snickered.
“Meaning?”
