He continues his tussle. “Have you got kids?”
Finn moves in a flash at the mention of our children. He whips out his knife and holds it against his throat, making both him and his brother freeze.
Suit is still seated, and he ignores the outburst. “We don’t want any trouble.” I scoff at his words. “Thalia and our girls are in danger.” I sit forward in my seat with sudden interest.
He goes on, saying, “The ex-senator, Lancaster...” I chuckle mockingly at the name I recognize. “... him and his wife have an interest in Thalia.” I swallow hard, unsure where this is going, but I’m acutely aware of what that scumbag has an interest in. Suit continues talking, “They’re plotting something regarding—”
“My little girl!” Tattooed Guy screeches out, blood now dripping from where Finn holds the knife against his neck. And for the first time since setting eyes on them, I realize where this guy’s anger is coming from. Someone is threatening his kid.
“Finn, back the fuck off!” I bark. He does so instantly but stands only a foot away from them.
“Sit.” I nod toward the chair at the guy buzzing with rage.
He pushes off the muscle guy in a huff and flops down in the chair. His jaw clenches as he tries to restrain himself.
I pinch between my eyes, already pissed at being dragged into something I have no time nor business being involved in.
“Back the fuck up and start again. Who are you?” I pose the question toward the one who seems to have his shit together the best, even though he looks like a sinister version of my brother, Oscar.
“I’m Lucas. This is Jace.” He throws his arm out toward Tattooed Guy. “And that’s Cole.” I nod at his words. “Thalia and Jace have a little girl, Harper. She was brought up by the Lancasters.”
“Why?” Finn chimes in before Lucas can even finish the sentence.
“Because some sick fuck raped Thalia when she was a teenager, and they tried to adopt Harper against Thalia’s wishes.” Jace glares in my direction, the hate behind the words aimed at me for insinuating Sky was the only one who had a troubled background.
“Jace and Thalia now have full custody over Harper. The Lancasters should be out of the picture, but Harper mentioned Mrs. Lancaster has been in her school. I checked it out.” He grimaces before continuing, “They’ve been following Thalia and Harper.”
Jace’s head snaps toward him accusingly, his body coiled tight. It’s obvious this information is new to him.
“I’ll fucking kill them myself.” I watch the dude unravel before me, his chest rising faster by the second.
I hold my hand up. “You do that, you’re gonna get caught. You wanna be there for your girls, right?”
His venomous glare shoots toward me, and he gives me a firm but reluctant nod.
“What about you?” I gesture toward the one called Cole.
“I’ll do it if I have to. We need to make it look like an accident, though. I have my girls waiting for me. I don’t want to do time unless I have to.”
“You married?” Finn raises an eyebrow at Cole.
Jace scoffs. “No, he’s not fucking married. If anyone’s going to marry her, it’ll be me.”
My mind takes a moment to go over what he just said.
“You both fuck her?” Finn questions before I can get the words out.
“The three of us, actually.” Lucas’s lip curls up at the side, a hint of pride behind his words.
Jesus fucking Christ, this girl has three men on the go. I blow out a heavy breath in shock. Holy shit, Sky’s little sister has three men and... “How many kids?”
“Two... For now,” Lucas tacks on at the end, and I don’t miss the insinuation. Actually, I recognize it well.
I try to pull my mind away from their private lives and deal with the actual problem.
I clear my throat. “So, you want us to end the Lancasters?” I query. “Then we’re done.” I look at them pointedly.
“You don’t want Sky to know her sister?” Cole asks, hurt mars his face. I chuckle at the thought of the big dude looking like someone kicked his puppy.
