Page 111 of Humility

Jasmine opened her mouth to reply, then screamed as the door was thrown wide. “Oh my god, not again,” she said, and I grabbed her off the stack to hide her body from the guard’s view. I had no idea what she meant, but Angelo’s annoyed face as he stepped in front of the men worried me.

“Really?” Angelo drawled. He shook his head. “Enzo, I’ve been trying to reach you.” He held up my phone that I’d left out in the greenhouse. “I now know why you’re not bothering to answer.” Even though he couldn’t see Jasmine, it felt like he could look right through my body as he glared. “And Jasmine, could you maybe let the guards know when you plan to scream the world down? This is becoming a habit.”

I felt her tense as I held her tight.

“It was my fault. I dragged Jasmine in here,” I said, looking over my shoulder at Angelo. I kept my arms firmly wrapped around Jasmine, feeling protective over her from his angry gaze.

“Of that, I have no doubt, but I also know that Jasmine wouldn’t go with you unless she wanted to, and this is the second time in two days that the guards have seen her naked and being fucked.” Jasmine swore softly and pinched the bridge of her nose. “Unless, you’d like to explore a more exhibitionist type relationship. I’d be happy to take you to town and fuck you in front of everyone. Or is your hope to add a few of them into the relationship, Jasmine? I mean, once you hit three cocks, what’s a few more?”

Angelo was looking for a fight. I could feel it rolling off him. “Really man? You’re gonna be a dick like that,” I said, holding his hard glare.

Jasmine swung her arm around my body and pointed. “Sure, I’ll take him,” Jasmine said, and the guy her finger landed on looked like he might pass out as Angelo looked at him. The guard put his hands in the air and backed out of the room.

“Well, that’s one down, would you like to try for another?” Angelo asked, sarcastically.

“You really want to do this Angelo?” Jasmine asked. “Because I will, but you won’t like what I have to say.”

I could almost hear his teeth grinding from the doorway. “Enzo, when you’re finished, I need to see you. It’s important.”

He dropped my phone onto the shelf and shook his head before turning and walking out. The door slammed loudly behind him.

“Is it wrong that I’m thrilled I pissed him off,” Jasmine asked, and I laughed.

“Nope, not at all. Angelo deserves it, probably deserves more than that.” Releasing her, I bent over and eased her overalls back up over her hips, making sure to leave little kisses up her body until I reached her addictive lips.

“I better go before he has a nuclear meltdown, but this was the best coffee break I’ve ever had.” She smiled.

“Same.”

“We should make this a daily habit,” I teased, but would totally go for it if she agreed.

Jasmine wrapped her arms around my neck and I could see my future in her eyes. If we went home I could not imagine holding her when I wanted to. It scared me how things would change and I knew they would have to. I was secretly hoping that Angelo never found a way for us to go back if it meant I could live free like this with her forever.

“How about we take it one day at a time,” Jasmine asked, but a playful look shimmered in her eyes.

“Fine, I guess that will do,” I said dramatically, making her laugh.

I dropped my lips to hers and savored this moment. It may not have been the most romantic, but it was still our true first time together and I wanted to remember everything. Sighing I stepped back and grudgingly pulled on my T-shirt, zipped up my jeans and grabbed my phone that showed twenty missed calls. Before I could walk away, she grabbed my arm.

“He won’t hurt you, will he? If so, I’ll kick his ass.” I loved the fierce look in her eye, and I didn’t doubt she would.

“Nothing I can’t handle. I mean, Angelo’s already shot at me twice over you.”

“He what?” Jasmine’s mouth fell open as I laughed.

“I told you I would fight for you. Besides, if he wanted to kill me, I’d already be dead. He was just reminding me who was the bigger dick in the room. Metaphorically speaking, of course,” I said.

“Yes, of course,” she giggled. “Still, I’ll talk to him.”

“No need. Truly, we’re in a much better place now. When you said you wanted him and would stay, it eased almost all the tension between us. I genuinely think he thought you would choose me over him.” I smiled. “But, he doesn’t understand that I would never make you choose as long as he didn’t try to cut me out. I want you no matter what.”

Before she could say anything and tempt me to stay longer, I kissed her softly and slipped out the door. The guards smirked as I jogged past them and into the house.

“I’m going to fucking kill that fucking piece of shit!” Angelo yelled, and something smashed in the room. Or maybe he was going to kill me, and I should’ve brought Jasmine along. “Fuck!” Crash.

“Okay, maybe this is not a good time,” I said and turned around as something else flew across the room. I was getting the fuck out of there to let Angelo calm down when he called my name.

“Enzo, get the hell in here. I see you lurking.”
