Savannah's P.O.V

I wandered around the party looking for Theo but there was no sign of him. Did he just leave me here? I pull out my phone and dial his number "Hello, Theo where are you?"

"I'm coming, I just got a tip and the diamond slipped out of my hands." Dove, Dove distracted him.

"Hurry up, I am waiting for you in front of the bar." Ordering a glass of wine I sit there thinking how much longer can I hide this secret? What will Theo make me do by threatening me?I slammed back two glasses of wine waiting for Theo and he still hadn't shown up. Pulling out my phone again I got to call him but a hand stopped me from doing so "Don't."

Shaking the handoff, I ignore Cage, asking for another wine glass "I think you've had enough Savannah."

"And I think you should leave me alone and let me drink as much as I want because I have a strong tolerance."

"You are here on a mission"

"Please so wouldn't work for the UMDA if it was the last job on earth rather starve."

"We are not as bad as you think we are"

I look up at him sipping my wine "No your worse. Now if you excuse me I have to find my date."

"Your date is busy flirting with Dove he's trying to get a tip out of her because he couldn't get one out of my dad."

"What is he doing here?"

"Your tip brought him out here, and he said he had to talk to you about something."

Rolling my eyes at him I turn back to the bartender and ask for something stronger "Why are you drinking so much?"

"Go away, Cage. I can do whatever I want and you should be the one stopping me."

"You are standing in a ballroom that is owned by Levi industries which is technically mine so as the owner I can stop you from doing something that I do not approve of."

Not listening to him I drank the double vodka shot, trying to drown myself in alcohol to get rid of the pain. The pain that he caused. "Fuck off Cage. From what I remember Granny told you to stay away from Ray and I. You are not doing a very good job of that."

"Don't bring Granng into this. Now come with me, Dad needs to talk to you about something."

"About what?"

"I don't know he said he wants to talk to you alone about it."

"Fine if you're not there I will talk to him." I got off the stool stumbling a little bit but caught myself.

"You are drunk."

"No, I'm not I am talking perfectly fine, I can see perfectly fine. My dress just got tucked into the edge of the stool. Stop finding excuses to put me down. "

"Whatever follow me."

Following him to Mr. Levi, I smile at him and followed Mr. Levi into a large room "Sit down Savannah."

I nodded sitting down, giving my feet some rest "I know."

"Excuse me?"

"I know about Ray, I know the truth." My heart started beating faster

"I'm sorry?"

"I know she's Cage's daughter." Time stopped this right here was my worst nightmare.

"I-I how did you find out?"

"We at the UMDA keep an eye on the people that have been used during missions and you were a special case. So I had someone keep an eye on your watch you the day you were sent free. There the doctor had told us about you being pregnant. So I connected the dots and figured it out."

"Sir, you can't tell Cage. He has no right in her."

"I know what he did was very wrong but Savannah you can't keep a father away from his little girl too long. "

"I mean no disrespect sir but we have managed fine these two years alone and the rest we will be fine also. We don't need your family's name to survive."

"It's not about my family name Savannah. If people find out our enemies find out that a child is running around without any protection you could lose her, we could lose her."

"From what it looks like your biggest enemy is sitting right in front of you."

He looked at me shocked, "Savannah..."

"Please, Please don't tell him. What do you want me to do? I'm ready to beg."

"Don't. " He sighed rubbing his hands together he walked over to me and sat down in front of me."You do not have to beg, but what I am trying to make you understand Savannah is that your grandfather is a really bad person. King will do anything to get what he wants, so just be careful with Theo, and keep him away from Rayna as much as possible."

"I understand Mr. Levi, I will do everything in my power to keep him away from Ray.' I respond, looking down at my hands, "I am sorry for all the pain and hurt my grandfather has caused your family. I can see how much of a negative impact it has had on your family and on Cage."

Standing up he shook his head "You weren't apart of that. You don't have to be sorry, King will be sorry soon."

"Right, well if you want to meet Ray you can come by Granny's house and play with her. She's usually there when I'm at work."

He smiled at me gently getting up "I will, thank you."

"Thank you, Mr. Levi, for keeping this a secret for me."

"Please call me Liam, and do not worry about it, but do let me know when you feel the time is right to tell Cage." That will never happen but I nodded walking out.

"Have a good night Liam."

"You too." Walking out a let out a huge breath, I don't know how people are finding out the truth soon Cage will too, now Ellie knows, Theo knows, and Liam knows.

"What did he want to talk to you about?" Cage said catching up to me.

"None of your business Cage, Where is Theo?" I said looking around,  wanting to get away from him ASAP.

He raised an eyebrow at me, "Was kissing him necessary?"

Now that caught my attention, "Why did it make you jealous?"

"Please, I love Dove I was just asking because it doesn't really seem you used to touch yet."

"See your touch burns me Cage, Theo's touch comforts me. He may be bad in this little game we are playing but when it comes to everything else he is ten times better than you."

"In what way?"

I smirk, "In every way, kissing, touching, fucking... I don't have to fake it with him."

He took a couple of steps towards me but I stood my ground looking up at him he snatched me forward into him leaning down to whisper in my ear "The way you used to moan, shiver underneath me Savy... you and I both know there's no way you were faking it. If you want a reminder why don't we go into the empty room over there and we'll see if you fake it or not." A shiver went down my spine.

"No, thank you. I actually don't want to cheat on my boyfriend." I whispered

He chuckled in my ear "Fake boyfriend."

"Did that kiss seem fake to you?"

"Please, that wasn't a real kiss, I can show you what a real kiss is."

"What is the difference between a real kiss and a fake kiss? You are just trying to make yourself feel better." I tried to push myself away from him but his grip tightened.

"The difference is..." He leaned forward rubbing his thumb across my bottom lip "Passion, desire, the want..." His beautiful light brown eyes had turned almost to a chocolate brown "What we had, in each and every one of our kisses. That kiss was just for show like he was claiming you."

My breathing got heavier, "I am not an object that someone can just claim."

"You know I actually like this Savannah a lot more than the one in California, this one has a bite to her, strength to fight against me doesn't let anyone walk all over her, and knows how to get on my nerves."

"If you don't let go of me right now, your balls and dick will be mushed together for the next year."

"Ouch, there's that bite." His lips trailed down my neck, not kissing just lightly brushing them against it. sometimes darting his tongue out "That bite drives me cray."

I bit back a moan, his touch, his lips, his scent everything was clouding my judgment also the alcohol in my system wasn't helping the situation either, "Let go of me, Cage." is what I wanted to say but I completely melted in his arms, relaxing I gave him more room to work his magic "Looks like you do want to go to the room, it seems like you have a lot of tension to release."

That arrogant comment snapped me out of whatever kind of daze he put me in, immediately I stomped on his foot making him loosen his grip which made it easier for me to step back "Please if anything it seems like you have a lot of tension to release, you might want to take care of that in the bedroom."

He kept quiet smirking, watching me breathe heavily flustered "You wanna help?"

"Buzz off." I storm off looking for Theo, with one thought running through my mind

What the hell just happened?
