For a few seconds, it’s as if her brain can’t process what she’s seeing.
Then realization floods her features.
Her eyes widen with absolute bafflement and her mouth drops open.
“You,” she blurts out, staring up at me. “You, you…”
I grin down at her from where I’m standing next to her. Then I arch an eyebrow at her and give her a look dripping with challenge. “What was that thing you said about not needing a bodyguard?”
Anger flashes across her face like a lightning strike, and she yanks wildly against the handcuffs while screaming, “I’m going to fucking kill you!”
From a few steps away, Eli lets out a low chuckle.
“Me?” I press a hand to my chest in a show of mock outrage as I hold Kayla’s gaze. “I didn’t do anything.” Twisting around, I motion towards my brothers. “Meet your kidnappers. Eli.”
My eldest brother says nothing, just continues watching her.
“Kaden,” I continue.
Kaden gives her one of his psychopath smiles.
“And Rico,” I finish, with a nod towards him.
Raising two fingers to his brow, he gives her a lazy salute.
Hellfire burns in Kayla’s eyes as she drags her gaze back to me. I swear I can hear the actual noise from how hard she’s grinding her teeth.
“You had your brothers kidnap me?” She practically spits out the words.
I hold her furious stare. “Yes.”
“I’m—”
“And did you see how easy it was for them to take you?” I cut her off, my voice hard.
Rage flashes across her features again, and she yanks hard on the handcuffs. “I swear to God, when I get out of these handcuffs, I’m going to?—”
“Give me a minute, will you?” I say to my brothers.
Rico nods. “We’ll be upstairs. The girls should be back soon anyway.”
While he starts towards the door, and the short hallway and the stairs beyond it, Kaden gives me a knowing look while a little smirk tugs at his lips. I narrow my eyes at him, but he thankfully doesn’t say what I know that he’s thinking.
Eli does, though.
“You make a mess, you clean it up,” he warns, shooting me a long look as he starts towards the door as well.
Shock, and a little fear, pulses across Kayla’s face. She probably thinks that he means blood. But I know that that wasn’t the fluid that Eli was thinking about.
I shoot my annoying brothers a glare, which just makes them grin like the unhinged psychos that they are. However, they thankfully disappear out the door and close it behind them without making any more comments.
Staring at the now closed door, I shake my head at them and their twisted dirty minds. That was not why I brought Kayla here. I did it to teach her a lesson.
“I’m going to fucking kill you,” Kayla growls behind me.
Amusement ripples through me, and I have to take a second to smile before I wipe all traces of mirth from my features and turn around to face her.
Moving so that I’m standing right in front of her, I cross my arms over my chest and level a hard stare down at her. “And how, exactly, are you going to accomplish that when you’re handcuffed to the wall in my brother’s basement?”
