Everyone in the room seemed to stop breathing, including the thug next to him. Hunter added, “That wasn’t a very nice thing to say. Actually it was completely unacceptable. I’d like for you to apologize to the lady.”
Sammy’s cheek and then his whole face turned scarlet all the way to the roots of his dirty-blond hair. He snapped his fingers at the goon next to him, as if his throat were paralyzed from the shock of anyone daring to touch him let alone slap his pansy-ass face.
The muscled thug next to him moved forward, right arm extended and his fist leading the way. Hunter, expecting this very thing, pushed the guy’s fist out of the way easily, and then delivered a throat punch to the guy so hard he started making funny noises when he breathed.
He then he slammed his knee between the guy’s legs, but not too hard, he was a man after all, just enough to keep him on the ground and useless to Sammy. The guy slid to the floor clutching his abused privates.
Hunter turned to Sammy. “Unless you’re planning to fight me yourself along with my best friend,” he said pointing at Dylan, “and we both know you’re too much of a pussy to take on two guys alone, you’ll simply have to agree to my terms.”
Sammy’s scarlet face went a shade darker to an unhealthy-looking crimson. “What are your fucking terms?” he asked, his teeth clenched so tightly, Hunter didn’t know how he got any understandable words out.
He smiled and removed the brown paper sack from his jacket pocket. Sammy’s eyes remained on his face and Hunter knew that if he could, he’d kill him where he stood.
Pulling the five stacks of hundreds out, he said sarcastically, “Well, since you asked so nicely. I’m going to give you forty thousand dollars to reimburse you for the loan my friend’s cousin Mick borrowed right before he died. That’s what, a sixty percent interest bump on the initial twenty-five-thousand-dollar loan? A great rate of return on your investment, if you ask me.”
Sammy looked into his eyes and not at the money he held. Hunter had the forty thousand in one hand and a single band of ten thousand in the other hand. Apparently, he didn’t enjoy this rate of return.
He stared back, and added, “I’d planned to give you fifty thousand dollars, but you were a shithead and broke Herbert’s glass case, not to mention the nasty name-calling.” Hunter tossed Herbert the single band of hundreds in his right hand. He caught it two-handed without bobbling.
The other four bands of bills he held out to Sammy, poking him in the side. Finally, his gaze dropped to the money. He stared at it for a long while, breathing hard in and out. In and out.
Sammy looked away from the money and looked in Lilianna’s direction. Dylan took half a step sideways to cover her more with his body. Hunter snapped his fingers in Sammy’s face. “Over here. You don’t look at her.”
“I’ll look at her if I want to. You’re such a fucking pussy-whipped dog, you don’t even know what she’s capable of, do you?” A nasty smile shaped his cracked lips. “Lilianna, which one of these guys is your rich mark? Have you gotten him to propose yet, so you can fleece him out of half of what he owns at the altar after the ‘I dos’?”
Hunter looked at Lilianna over his shoulder. Her gaze clouded immediately and went distant as a frown shaped her lovely mouth. She was completely puzzled by his remarks. Sammy was trying to make her look bad, but it wasn’t going to work.
“And I don’t want your money. I want her to pay me. With her filthy whore’s mouth around my cock each and every night.”
Hunter made a tsk-tsk noise. “You don’t seem to understand how unkind that comes across, Sammy. I wish you could learn your lesson.”
“What are you going to do, slap me like a girl again? Go ahead. I’ll turn my cheek and let you strike the other side.”
“Tempting, but no. Instead, I’m going to burn your entire world to the ground, ass wipe.”
“How are you going to do that, fuck head?”
Hunter pulled his cell phone out. “With a single phone call. Get ready, because this one’s gonna make you want to grab on to your nutsack with both hands.”
