I bobbed my head. “Yes.”
Wait.
I shook my head. “No. I mean. . .that would not. And. . .no.”
Laughing, she rose from the bed. “I am too gorgeous to chase anyone, but I will be nice and give you an open door policy.”
My breathing finally steadied.
“Perhaps, you can let me taste you on your birthday. I would fly you to wherever you want to go, take you shopping, show you the best time of your life.” She winked. “No budget.”
“Thank you. . .for that offer, but. . .the answer is still no.”
“We will see, Blue. You have not been spoiled until you have been treasured by a Solonik.”
I bet.
Sighing, she tossed that long blonde hair over her shoulder. “Let me know when you are done playing with boys.”
All I could do is nod like an idiot.
“By the way, they are both outside of your door.” She eyed me. “Which one do you want to see first?”
I parted my lips.
“Do not worry.” Laughing, she strolled away. “I will make the decision for you.”
“Wait, Valentina.” I held out my hand.
She left.
My head reeled from the crazy admission.
The Lion’s sister was trying to fuck me? Jesus!
I scanned the room as if unsure that it truly happened.
What the hell is going on in my life? Is it the new shampoo I bought? Or something else?
Then, the door opened, and both men walked in.
Oh, come on, Valentina.
Chapter 54
Read the Room
Blue
Giorgio and David walked in.
Both gorgeous, yet absolutely opposite.
They had changed into new clothes looking like two models from very different fashion brands.
Giorgio could have modeled for a high-end fashion house putting out Cocktail Attire. Tonight, he wore a blue designer waistcoat with blue pants and a silk white shirt. The fabric glimmered and cascaded as he walked.
A shimmering diamond pin sat at the top of his blue tie. His cufflinks sparkled with diamonds too, glistening like the stars in the night sky.
And the designer suit was tailored to perfection. It fit him nicely, hugging every curve of his athletic body.
He’d just shaved too. Now, his face was devoid of stubble. Every angle and line was as smooth as glass.
I can’t believe you risked your life to save me.
I swallowed.
You’re right. You will get all my underwear.
I smiled as he lowered into the chair that Valentina had been sitting in.
Grinning, he crossed his legs. “You look much better.”
“I feel better too.”
His cologne had a floral undertone with a hint of rosemary and musk. It smelled nice and clean.
I tried not to swoon. “I cannot thank you enough for pulling me out of that ocean.”
“You can thank me enough and you will. I am writing a list of ways.”
Clearing his throat, King David stood three feet away from Giorgio and right next to the bed.
I turned to him and smiled.
David could have modeled for a fashion designer focusing on Business Casual.
He dressed in a midnight black shirt that clung to his muscular chest in the most enticing ways. The sheen of the material reflected the dim light. His pants hugged his chiseled legs and presented a prominent bulge in the center that was hard to look away from.
Tonight, he had a gold crucifix pinned to the upper right side of the shirt. I gazed at the small Jesus and then moved my view to the crown of thrones enveloping his head. They looked so real and sharp.
This is new.
Tears filled my eyes and there was no reason I could think of why they would come.
Stop it. Don’t cry.
David had talked about praying so much for my survival. I wondered if the addition of the cross represented his strengthened faith in God.
I let out a long breath and moved my view to his handsome face.
Those sharp, defined cheeks gave him a youthful attractiveness, yet they also made him look sensually masculine. He’d let his hair on his jaw grow out. Knowing David, he was too busy to keep it shaved. Now, the silky fuzz of hair covering his jaw made his lips seem plumper and brought more attention to the Bible verses tattooed under his chin and all over his neck.
Usually, his blond hair went back in waves and teased his ears. Tonight, it looked fashionably tussled. Additionally, the scent of his cologne was a cocktail of pheromones and a dash of mint.
How could I ever choose? It is impossible.
David focused those blue eyes on me. “Valentina said that you wanted to talk to both of us.”
I gritted my teeth.
Thanks a lot, Valentina. Fucking asshole.
How could I get out of this? What did one say when they were in the room with two people that they were falling for?
Management.
“Okay.” I straightened my back as I sat in the bed, hoping to pull in a more self-assured energy. “So. . .I wanted to thank you both for saving my life. Both different levels, but. . .thank you. I almost died and. . .now. . .I want to live to the fullest. I don’t want to deny myself anything.”
