Present Day
I’m all for playing a trick on someone. It’s not often in my isolated
world that I get to engage with people I don’t have the first inclination to kill,
but what happened here tonight is a little out of my comfort zone for several
reasons.
First, I want to warn Liam about his woman. Any chick willing to have
you kidnapped, hit over the head, tied up, and gagged, is someone to run
from, not smile at. But despite Liam looking around the room with an
expression that tells me he’d slit all of our throats, he also seems ecstatic to
have just experienced what he did. I don’t mean the sex he had in that
fucking room. His woman, Raya, looks just as love drunk as he does.
I try to disguise the shiver of nausea that runs up my spine by shifting
my weight on my feet.
Love. Ack. No thanks. That shit does more harm than good, and I want
no part of it.
Even non-sexual relationships and love have the power to utterly
destroy people. My dad’s connection to Patrick was brotherly, his connection
to sixteen-year-old Ellie was fatherly, and yet he still drank himself to death
because of their loss.
As far as I’m concerned, attachments to people aren’t worth the
trouble.
Burned bridges are the way to go, and I’ve lived my life since my late
teens reflecting that.
Any link I have to anyone is fragile at best. Although I may not care
much about living or dying, I won’t let my end come on the back of someone
I’ve let myself believe I care about. When it happens, I won’t have to point
my finger at anyone but myself.
I let my eyes track the same thing he does, just considering myself
lucky that Angel’s woman isn’t here. Lauren Vos scares me more than he
does. She has this way of looking right through you as if she can read the
deepest, most hidden parts of your soul before you have a chance to open
your mouth and introduce yourself.
I have so many questions about what just happened, but I’m not stupid
enough to open my mouth and ask them. Questions in our line of work can
get you killed, and for the most part, I don’t mind being on a need-to-know
basis. The details about why Raya wanted Liam abducted and held hostage
aren’t really my business.
“You fuckers have a lot of nerve,” Liam growls as he makes eye
contact with each of us.
I nod, knowing I’d feel the same if not angrier if I got smacked over
the head and tied to a fucking chair.
I grin at the pair, grateful I’ll never have to deal with that sort of shit.
Liam, once a tough badass, visibly melts under Raya’s palm as she
presses it to his chest.
It’s absolutely disgusting to watch a grown man lose himself to love. It
will bring his own destruction, that’s assured.
