A few weeks earlier
Jarvis
The party is still going strong even though the wedding itself was over
four hours ago. Empty wine glasses litter white-covered tables and
music cuts through the dark night. The whole scene screams bad chick
flick starring lonely, scorned bridesmaids.
I move beneath the stars through the sea of tables covered in flowers,
mutilated cake, and all the other shit until I find him. He’s standing off to
the side, shadowed on the edge of the floodlights filling the dance floor.
He’s got an arm around his wife and they’re deep in conversation.
His eyes cut to me before I get to him and I shouldn’t be surprised. He’s
that good—better than good. It doesn’t matter how long he’s been out of the
game, he’s still got that sixth sense. I’d say he was the best and he might
have been at one time. Hell, he taught me everything I know.
But he’s not the best anymore.
I am.
Still, he doesn’t take his eyes off me when he turns his wife, Addy, in his
arm and tucks her to his side despite her swelling belly. He doesn’t greet me
or ask if it’s done. I’m here, which means he knows it is.
I lift my chin. “Hey.”
“You made it,” Crew answers and doesn’t ask about my trip. “Since Asa
doesn’t hate you like he used to, I’m sure he’ll be happy you’re here.”
“Good to see you home, Jarvis. And I’m glad you could make it. The
wedding itself was small but, as you can see, the reception got out of hand,”
Addy says, her voice is low and soft as she leans into her husband. She
knows everything—every single thing we do—and what it means to return
home, even though I don’t have one of my own. For the last few years,
home is here, at Crew’s camp that has become headquarters for the men
working under him. “Will you be here for a while or do you have to turn
around to leave right away?”
“He’ll be here for a few days.”
I turn at the sound of his voice and extend my hand to the man who
recruited me and was my only advocate in the beginning. His wife is with
him, and just like Addy, she’s as much a part of this as the rest of us.
“Grady. Hey, Maya.”
Maya smiles. “I’m glad you’re home. Come by for dinner before you leave
again. The kids miss you.”
Grady shakes my hand and adds a slap on the shoulder. “Just came over to
say goodbye. The sitter called and we’ve gotta get home. Cayden has a
fever.”
“I’m sorry,” Addy says as she rubs her belly. I swear she’s twice as big as
she was before I left six weeks ago.
But Crew doesn’t mince words. “Shit. He was playing with Vivi at the
wedding.”
“Don’t get your panties in a twist. It’s only a fever,” Grady drawls.
Crew glares back. “She can’t get sick. We only have a couple weeks until
the due date.”
