Alaric pulls a large piece of plastic from one of two duffle bags off to the side. “Then tracking her won’t be hard.”

“Way ahead of you.” I hold my phone up and show them a small arrow moving away from our territory and toward The Northern Alliances’. Fuck. Looks like I’ll be calling Harlon after all so none of his people think we are working their territory.

Marco stops to unlink his cuffs and rolls his sleeves up his forearms. “You know she filmed us, right?” he asks, dropping the links in his pocket. His left brow has a gash through it from a knife fight a couple of years back. When he lifts it with irritation like he is now, it makes him look twice as intimidating and mean as fuck. “We’ll have to get that back from her.”

I smile. “Yep. Getting it back from her is going to be half the fun.”

Marco grunts, shaking his head. “Sometimes I think you’re possessed by some evil entity.”

He’s probably right. I loved seeing the fear in her eyes and the way her beautiful mouth parted with gasps and moans in almost the same second. The way I envisioned finally getting my hands on Nyx Carter never started with her breaking into our penthouse. I admit she caught me off guard there. I knew she would be a handful when we finally made our move on her, and I was not disappointed.

I had hoped it would be after we wrapped up our current contract.

I flip between the map and text, shooting off a quick note to Sapphire, the undertaker. A perk of being part of the Northern Alliance is we don’t have to clean up our messes.

I get a quick reply back and then flip back to watching Nyx moving farther east.

All three of us told Wolfe it was only a matter of time before we moved on our desire to get to know his sister. He resisted us then and still does. Seeing him turn one hundred shades of red at the idea of his bosses hooking up with his baby sister is its own reward. But he’ll have to deal with it. I want what I want, and my partners are the same. We share everything from our home, to the money, to the empire we control. Trust isn’t easy to come by and why we see no need to have more than one woman in our lives. So, we share that too.

As soon as we catch her.

“Has Wolfe checked in?” He was due to call when I left the men down here to work while I showered for a meeting across town.

I kick the shoes of the dead man at our feet. Don’t feel sorry for him. He’s working for our target and just as guilty in our books. No one moves over fifty girls for trafficking over the span of two months alone. Our target had help and that came in the form of three dipshit brothers we know all too well.

The Finely brothers are greedy bastards who have stepped into the deep end of a very bad situation. They are cutthroat mobsters who will stop at nothing to make a buck. They are ruthless and dirty as the scum at the bottom of a sewer pipe. And very stupid. You have to be if you think signing up to work for the Bratva is ever a good idea.

Where this one is, the other two are not far behind.

“Wolfe called while you were with our girl upstairs. He’s got a new number. He lost his old one.”

Our girl. I smile. I like the sound of that.

I grunt. “He’s always losing his damn phone.”

“He said his sister is up to something and to be on the lookout for trouble. Which I guess you already found out.” Alaric smirks and shoots me an envious glare before continuing. “He also mentioned teaming up with a biker gang in New York. Said he would give details as soon as he could.”

All good stuff but my head is with Nyx. I haven’t taken my eyes off her little arrow moving across town. She’s tucked herself inside a bar and thinks we won’t find her. Silly pussy cat. Wolfe deciding to keep us separated from his life is about to bite the man in the ass.

She thinks we don’t know about her. Revealing just how entwined we are with her life will be just as fun as hunting her.

I smirk. “It’s going to be fun to ask her how she got a keycard to our penthouse.”

“Better yet, how she got down here.”

Marco has a point. I give a half-shrug. “I might have forgotten to lock access to the floor from the penthouse.” It was no accident. I overrode the elevator code and sent her directly to my friends. I didn’t expect them to be so advanced in their information gathering with our friend here. A minor detail she’ll come to understand once we explain.

In a perfect world, we would court her, let her get to know us, and then take her on a worldwide escape. Make love to her under hidden waterfalls in Southern Africa. Show her the beauty of the Mediterranean. Make love to her under the full moon in Venice.

But perfect doesn’t exist and we have an empire to run. We will just have to make do with the current circumstances. We are taking our girl tonight. For better or for worse. I tamper down the beast inside. I’m tired of waiting and so are my friends. But I can’t let my baser instincts get the better of me.

It’s time to take what we want. She’s in our territory and the sister of our enforcer. That makes her ours. All we have to do is reach out and take her.

The best part is she has no idea just how fucking hungry we are for her. Only her.

My phone pings with a message. I move across the basement and punch the up button. “The undertaker is here. Once Sapphire finishes, get ready to hunt.”
