“Speaking of, we better get back before we’re in trouble.” Grayson stands. “Let me know what you need from me. I’ll get some recruits to take over the docks with Jax.”
I nod. “I’ll see you in the gym tomorrow.”
Jax stands to leave with the other three. “You can stay.” I point back to his chair.
He grins and sits his ass back down, shrugging off his leather jacket. His heavily tattooed arms prop on the table as he takes another drink. “Kai, I’ll meet you at the gym tomorrow?”
“You got it, bud,” Kai calls back, picking up his helmet from the table by the door.
“Are you two joined at the hip?” I ask Jax.
“Aww, you don’t have a best friend?” Jax asks, sipping his beer.
“What do I need friends for?”
He shrugs. “He’s basically my brother. I’ve had him by my side my whole life.”
“Probably why your ass isn’t in jail now.”
Jax chuckles and nods. “For sure.”
“What do you suggest I do about our little detective problem?”I turn and ask Enzo.
I have never come up against this kind of issue. I know what I’d do to resolve it. Although, with Zara’s fiery personality, I doubt that would cause me anything but a further headache.
Enzo scratches the black scruff on his jaw. “Leave it alone for now. She could be useful. We could use her as an in to the commissioner. She would be easy to take.” He raises his brows.
I bite the inside of my mouth. Having Zara tied up and gagged in my basement makes my dick come to life.
“Stop grinning, Frankie,” Enzo smirks. He knows exactly where my brain went.
“Don’t let her get to you. We don’t know enough about her or her motives yet.”
“A woman, get to me?” I scoff.
“You ready to get in deeper, Mr. Carter?” I turn to Jax, that fire in his eyes still there. I’ve watched him fight, the way he loses it. I’ve seen the joy he gets out on jobs. He’s ready.
“Damn fucking right.”Interlacing his hands, he turns his palms out and cracks his knuckles.
“Good. When is your next fight?”
Keller and Grayson have pitched him as the next light-heavyweight champion. Kings Gym needs another hero and what an excellent disguise. Keller proved that point.
“Six weeks or so.”He runs his fingers through his messy black curls.
“I want to bring you in, but you keep on top of your training with Grayson.” He must be nearly fifteen years younger than me, yet is still learning the importance of discipline.
“Yes, Dad,” he mocks.
“I’ll beat your ass like one. Remember who you’re talking to.”I watch as his jaw ticks at my comment. So, I clap my hand on his shoulder firmly. If I’ve learned anything in the last year, it’s that I protect my family. No matter what.
The guilt that rips through me about Rosa and Eva eats me alive every day. Like everything else, I swallow it down and carry on.
Enzo shuts his laptop and stands.
“Need a lift?” he asks Jax, who shakes his head.
“I’ve got my bike out front.”Jax lifts his heavy leather jacket back over his broad shoulders and follows Enzo out.
