I sigh, rolling my eyes when I turn to see my sister Tempest strolling into the main lounge.

“Okay, one, I’m in a meeting, T,” I sigh. “And two, I thought I was clear that I never ever needed to run into my own fucking sister at Venom.”

She grins. “Relax, bro. The gangbang I signed up for doesn’t go down until ten tonight. You’ve got plenty of time to avert?—”

She gasps as Dante’s hand possessively grabs her hip and yanks her down into his lap.

“As if that would ever be allowed to happen, wife.”

He’s smiling, but there’s no mistaking the jealous glint in his eye. Yeah, Dante is one possessive bastard when it comes to my sister, which is something she loves to rile him up in him by purposefully targeting.

It works for them. I don’t think I would have ever imagined someone would be willing to put up with Tempest’s, well, tempestuousness. Turns out Dante’s the man for the job.

“Whatcha doing here, T?” I ask.

She gives me a funny look. “You mean aside from the fact that my husband runs the joint?” She shrugs. “Not much. Just making sure my kneepads are in the glory-hole booth for later.”

I cock a brow as I shake my head at her. “You’re going to give Dante a fucking aneurysm with your shit, you know that?”

She grins, giggling as she turns to cup her husband’s face and kiss him deeply. “He knows I’m just?—”

“Keep it up, wife,” Dante murmurs quietly, his eyes locked with hers, “and we’ll see what happens.”

She bites her lip. “Is that a promise?”

“Yeah, hi, brother sitting right the fuck here,” I groan in a nauseated voice. Drazen roars with laughter as Dante shrugs.

“Alistair, when two people love each other very much, and they want to express that love in a physical?—”

“Finish that fucking sentence and I’m going to knock you on your ass,” I grunt. “Right after I vomit, that is.”

“And why are we throwing up, exactly?”

Tempest laughs at the sound of Gabriel’s voice behind me. “Well, the gang’s all here.”

“What is this, siblings’ afternoon out?” Dante smirks.

“Yes, because a sex club is the perfect venue for that,” Gabriel grunts, making a face. He turns serious as his gaze lands on me. “Can I talk to you for a minute?”

“You can talk to me for several minutes.”

He raises a brow. “Alone?”

I turn back to Drazen and Dante. “Anything else we need to discuss with the expansion, gentlemen?”

“No, we’re good,” Dante nods. “Send over that list of Ed Lee’s charities, and we’ll get out our checkbooks.”

“And I’ll sharpen my stick collection, just in case,” Drazen murmurs with a dangerous grin.

After finishing my drink, I stand and follow Gabriel to the far corner of the main lounge, next to one of the bars. It’s not odd that he’s come here in person to talk to me. Even when it’s not open, Dante has a strict no cellphones policy throughout all of Club Venom once you’re past the front doors, for security purposes. That’s another reason it’s such a great place for business meetings.

“What’s going on?”

“I’m going to ask you something, and I’m going to be direct, because I have to be,” he murmurs.

“O…kay?”

“What the fuck are you doing with Eloise?”
