“No.” Greyson said. “You’re not Jackals anymore. I’m not telling you shit until you prove yourselves to me and you’re back in.”
“You’re a fucking asshole,” I began, trying to hold on to my promise to Kennedy to try to work with Greyson, but God it was difficult when Greyson was Greyson.
“Let’s be honest,” Greyson said. “Right now, you don’t have any skin in the game. You haven’t had any ties to the Jackals since we were kids. Jack’s got that one body in his past?—”
So, Greyson only knew about the one body. We should keep it that way.
“Are you going to keep saying shit about that around Kennedy?” Jack demanded. “We promised that we wouldn’t tell her what happened with her stepfather.”
“Ohh, we pinky promised,” Greyson said with a mocking tone in his voice. “I don’t trust you three not to use me to take out anyone who’s a danger to Kennedy, then turn me into the cops so that you can have her to yourselves.”
“We wouldn’t do that,” Jack said, sounding exasperated.
“And I’m going to make sure,” Greyson said.
“What do you want?” I demanded.
“A return to the fight nights of our youth,” Greyson said. “Only now, the stakes are a little higher and it’s all a little more public. Jackals always fight when they’re being initiated.”
Jack looked troubled, knowing what it would do to our reputations if anyone ever found out we were mixed up with the Jackals. Before he could say anything, I said, “Yeah. Easy.”
“Is that so…” Greyson drawled.
“And then that’s it,” Sebastian said. “You let us in on all the shit you know.”
We didn’t have the connections we used to. Even then, Greyson had been our connection to the Jackals, the one who brought us in.
Sebastian sounded like he would have let go of the glory of the last five years, if he could still have the connections that would have made it easy to find out who’d attacked Kennedy.
“And then I let you in as long as you’re going to keep getting your hands dirty,” Greyson said.
“And we make sure Kennedy is involved enough to feel like she’s got control back,” Sebastian said, clearly worried about Kennedy’s wellbeing. “But not to let her be in danger. They’re already coming after her to get to us...”
“Obviously, we’re not going to let her into the fight with us,” Jack said.
“And I want one of us with her at all times,” I said. “I don’t trust anyone else.”
Greyson’s irritation was evident, but he just smiled coolly. “Eradicating the threat is the best way to make sure Kennedy is safe. But yeah, obviously we’re not going to let her anywhere near the danger. Especially when she could be pregnant with my baby.”
It was obviously on his mind, given the fact Greyson blurted it out.
Which was not exactly the first time we’d heard that, although it had been five years since we heard about Greyson’s fantasies for Kennedy.
I crossed my arms over my chest. “Technically, she could be pregnant with any of our babies.”
I hadn’t realized how good that would sound until I said it. Maybe there was something to be said for Greyson’s breeder kink. At least when it came to Kennedy.
“What did you do?” Sebastian demanded.
“What are you talking about?” Greyson asked.
“It just sounds like you tampered with her birth control, so you have every reason to think she might be pregnant.”
“Birth control fails all the time,” Greyson said blithely.
“Yeah, but we know you,” I reminded him. “You’ve been obsessed with getting her pregnant one day since we were sixteen.”
“But I was smart enough to wait,” Greyson pointed out.
