“I can’t take away your pain. All I can tell you to do is use it. Every ounce of it for Kai, we will destroy them all. Do you hear me? I fucking promise you. Don’t let this kill you; we need you, Jax.”
He sucks in a breath. “I can do that.”
“Make that your focus. We’ve got your back. You are our family now.” I pat his back.
The rest of the crew walks over, taking their seats at the dining table.
“Frankie, you ready?” Luca asks, pulling out a chair at the end for me.
“The meeting starts when Zara arrives.”
My heart stops as I see her pad down the stairs in a pair of ripped black jeans and a tight cami top that hugs her curves perfectly. Her eyes meet mine and she gives me a devious smile.
“I’m here!” she says, taking my seat at the head of the table.
With each tap of her nail, her intense gaze never wavers from me.
Grayson wears a wide grin, clearly entertained by Zara.
I rest my hands on the back of her chair, the scent of her perfume lingering in the air, and lean down, brushing my lips against the delicate contour of her ear.
“You’re sitting in my seat, baby,” I whisper.
She turns her head to face me, the first time I’ve seen any light in her eyes since we lost the baby.
“Fine, I’ll sit on your lap.”
I bite on the inside of my mouth. As distracting as that may be, I need her with me. She slips out of the way and I take her place, sitting back so she can perch on my thighs. Wrapping my arm around her stomach, I pull her against me so her ass is rubbing on my dick.
“Well, who has a plan? Because I’ve spent ten years hunting this fucker.”
Zara clears her throat. “I do.”
Pride fills my chest. Of course my girl has a plan.
“Let’s hear it.” I nod to her.
“Well, I was thinking, what if we use Mikhail to proposition Romano using the girls we saved? Obviously, we would never give them back.”
I scratch my beard, taking in her suggestion.
“We can do that,” Grayson says.
“He has an inside track with George. He will still be getting money. We have to stop all other routes for him…”
I trail off.
“My dad is the answer,” Zara says calmly. All the guys at the table look at her.
Romano always thinks he can outsmart anyone. I need to get ahead of him and cover all bases to end this.
“And I know just the man who can give us that information.” I look to Jax and Grayson.
“Alex. Once we get to George, we use him to cut Romano off completely. That way, he will jump at Mikhail’s offer. He’s in this life for one thing only; money. Are we all in agreement?” I look at each of them around the table.
“Yes,” Grayson replies.
“I’m fucking in,” Jax says, slamming back a scotch.
