Seeing her in the car with Isaac and Conner set something off inside me. A red haze coated everything as I battled the urge to shoot my men in the face while reminding Nova who she belonged to.

How that led to this, I don’t know.

“You’re back?” she asks, looking into my eyes and wincing.

I look at Isaac for answers, but he’s staring at the knife in my hand.

“I don’t know who that was, but it wasn’t my Vice.”

My Vice.

I like that.

I try to lift my hand, and she winces again.

“Jesus fuck, Nova. You hurt yourself.”

Conner snorts.

With a sigh, Nova grips the handle of the knife tightly and yanks it out of her leg with a hiss. She leaves it embedded in my hand, though.

“I want that back when you’re finished with it.”

“Fuck, how deep did you go? George, the hospital, now!” Isaac orders.

“It’s fine.” Nova waves him off, but Isaac slips his belt off and looks at me.

“It’s bleeding more than it should. I think she might have nicked an artery. If I wrap this around her leg, are you going to snap my spine?”

“Do it.”

Isaac gets to his knees and wraps his belt around Nova’s thigh, tightening it to stop the bleeding. “Now, let’s look at your hand.”

I hold it out to him. Isaac looks at it and shakes his head. “Yeah, let’s just leave the knife in there for now. You’re lucky it’s not your dominant hand.”

“Are one of you going to shoot me now?” Nova asks in a bored voice, but when I look at her, I see the flash of fear in her eyes before she masks it.

“Nobody touches you but me,” I growl.

“Fine, just get it over with.”

“If I didn’t know you better, I’d think you were serious.”

She turns and glares at me. “You don’t know me at all, Vice. That’s the problem. If you did, you would have known that being a chew toy for you and your boys to fight over isn’t something I’m interested in. You’re pissed about sharing me, and in the same breath, you want to let them see parts of me that only you’ve seen. Make it make sense, Vice.”

I blow out a breath before reaching out and sliding the fingers of my good hand into her hair, turning her head so I can kiss her.

She stiffens, refusing to kiss me back until she senses I won’t give in. Eventually, she admits defeat and surrenders to me.

Pulling away, I look into her eyes. “The meeting was a fucking joke. All I wanted was you, and when I got here,theyhad what I needed most. It was irrational. I was pissed, and well, I don’t process shit like everyone else.”

“Is this your way of saying sorry?”

“I don’t say sorry.” I nip her lip. “I will never share you, never let another man inside your body. But that doesn’t mean that I don’t want them to see what I have. I want them to covet my woman, knowing they can never have you. If I slipped my fingers inside you now and fucked you to orgasm, Conner and Isaac would enjoy the show, but they know I’d cut off their hands if they touched you.”

She bites her lip, looking between me and the guys.

“Well, I didn’t know that, so I’m not sorry for stabbing you. You keep warning me there will be things you’ll do that I won’t like, so I feel as if I’m bracing myself all the time. I thought this was going to be one of them. That you’d toss me to the guys when you were done with me.”
