I open the bathroom door to find Leo sitting on my now made-up bed with fresh linens, and he looks proud of himself, like he did me a favor. Maybe I wanted to sleep nestled in Nik’s smell and cum. Did he think about that? No, of course not.

“Cam,” he says sweetly—he doesn’t usually call me that anymore, only my parents and friends do—patting the bed next to him. I sigh and climb on, sitting where he wants me to. “We need to talk.”

“Listen,” I sigh, putting my hand up so he doesn’t interrupt. “If you’re here to lecture me, please don’t. If you’re jealous, I get it. I’m sorry. I thought you were fucking someone else.” Half a truth within a lie within a half-truth.

“I’m here to talk about Nikolai.”

I blow out a breath. “Why?”

We look at each other, and he brushes my hair away from my face, tucking it behind my ear in such an intimate way that my stomach flutters a little. “You’re not going to like what I have to say.” Leo gulps, actually showing emotion.

“What? Just tell me already.”

“He’s the one who killed Andrea.” My little brother.

My stomach drops. Even my heart does. I just had his dick inside me. The dick of the man who killed my little brother six months ago at just eighteen years old. “How would you know that, and why didn’t you tellPapà?”

“Oh,” Leo chuckles coldly. “He knows, and Nikolai is paying for his mistake already. The Elite made sure of it, yourPapàmade sure of it.”

“Cazzo.”Fuck. I think of how my brother got dropped off on this same doorstep, a hole in his belly from where he’d been shot. Blood pooled underneath him as he was bleeding out. His last whispered words were ‘help me’, but it was too late to save him. He died as soon as the paramedics showed up. They tried doing CPR, but even that couldn’t bring him back. “He can’t get away with this. He should bedead!”

“Nikolai got away with a lot tonight.” Leo sneers, “You wet his cock for free, and you didn’t even ask any questions.”

“Would you rather he had paid me?” I laugh, “He was the love of my life at one point, you do realize that? I didn’t know how to say no to him. I still don’t?—”

“Shut the fuck up,tesoro mio. Unless you want to be stuffed twice tonight.”

“I can’t believe you’re suggesting that while talking about mydeadlittle brother. Have some tact.”

“You know I am who I am, and I am not going to change. So don’t hope for it.”

I’m trying to resist the urge to claw at his face, grab his balls, and twist them until he screams. He’s not making this easy for me. “How the hell will we get back at him?”

Leo seems to think on that one, dropping the charade and taking this seriously for a moment. “He still seems to want you.”

I laugh at that. No way am I going to pursue the man who killed mybrother. No matter if we used to be everything to each other. “No.” I shake my head. “You wouldn’t even share me if you tried. You showed that years ago.”

“You underestimate me, pretty girl. I’d share you with my own brother if it got me what I wanted. I’d share you with the whole fucking town.” I cringe at his words, feeling the truth in every single one of them. “I want us to kill him.”

“You want tokillhim?” I mean, I said he deserved to be dead, but maybe I was overreacting. I shouldn’t be the one to decide whether a life should be spared,weshouldn’t be the ones.

“HekilledAndrea!”

Leo’s right. He’sright. Right? It’s justified—a life for a life. I’ve never condoned the killing they do in this lifestyle, but I could if it meant avenging my baby brother. “Okay.”

“Yeah?” He asks, but it’s not a question.

“I’ll do it, but I need time. He’s not the kind of guy who gets his heart involved over two rounds of good pussy. And I hurt him a lot. He still hates me, I can feel it.”

“You underestimate the power of a tight pussy then.”

“I need him to trust me. I’ll find a way to make him spill some secrets, make him vulnerable.” There has to be something that we could use against him, and maybe we don’t have to kill him directly. Instead, the Elite can do it for us. “I bet he won’t let me in for a while.”

Leo nods, “You’re right. He’ll be careful.”

“When I figure it out, you do what you will with that information.” I know this is a terrible idea, that he will kill him, that I’ll feel guilty about it later. So why do I still reply? “I can’t have Andrea back, so Nikolai’s family can’t have him back either.”

“That’s my girl.”
