Both cops whirl around to look at me, but my eyes are on the soon-to-be-dead man on the ground, yelling, “She’s lying!”

Nova looks at the female officer watching her and points at the guy’s fingers, which are indeed wet.

I storm around the car, but Nova stops me, holding me back with the guns pointed at us.

“Fucking pigs!” someone else yells, and I notice a crowd has formed.

“I suggest you get him out of here. And yes, I’ll be pressing charges.”

The cop on the ground starts cursing her out. Nova is struggling to hold me back, and the cops, seeing the crowd is about ready to become a mob, quickly drag their fellow officer to his feet before placing him in the back of their squad car.

“Can we go? You know where to find us, right?” Nova wraps her arms around me.

The woman looks around at all the people with their cell phones out before nodding.

I keep my breathing even and count in my head so I don’t blow something up. The only thing that’s stopping me is that Nova is calm.Too calm, and I know my girl. If he had done what she said, she would have ripped off his dick and fed it to him.

She turns to look at the crowd. “Thank you. That could have turned out far worse. We appreciate you having our backs.” She smiles sweetly at them. I feel something coming from them I’ve never felt before, almost like a surge of protectiveness.

“It’s no problem, Mrs. Moretti, Mr. Moretti, sir.” The guy who shouted earlier looks at me with a polite nod. “We look after our own here.”

I reach over and shake his hand, knowing it’s important.

I wait until we are both inside the limo before I pin her to the seat and lean over her.

“I’m okay. He didn’t touch me,” she says fast before I explode.

“What happened?” I snarl as Miles pulls away and drives us home.

“I recognized him. Did you see his car anywhere?”

“What the fuck does his car have to do with anything?”

“I didn’t see one,” Miles jumps in.

“And he had no partner there either. A traffic stop in the middle of our territory with no partner and no backup when he was supposedly looking for an armed assailant?”

“Where did you recognize him from?” I grit out, my anger fading somewhat.

“I saw him at the casino. One of the poker tables that has a fifty-k buy-in. If he were a high roller, that would make sense, but cops don’t make that kind of dough. He was also talking to Aldo.”

“You think he’s a cop on Aldo’s payroll?”

“No. I don’t think he’s a cop at all. He really did say, ‘Aldo says hello,’ though.”

“If he didn’t assault you, then how?—”

She places her finger over my lips. “You just fucked me. Your cum was literally running down my legs. When I flipped him, I purposely dragged his hand across my thigh. I knew they’d have to take him away if they suspected sexual assault, especially with all those people filming.”

“If you recognized him, you should have just said so in the car. We could have ignored the motherfucker, or I could have just shot him.”

“I might have known he was fake, but the onlookers didn’t. That’s what he was counting on. Besides, I wanted to see what he had to say.”

“You take too many fucking risks, Nova.”

“Lucky for you, or we never would have met.”

I grab her and pull her up.
