Once we were out in the humid night air, I pulled her close and devoured her mouth for a brief second before the darkness inside coursed through me.
Forcing her away from me, I waited until my heart rate had evened out, and I was able to push every sadistic need away before reaching for her again.
She’d just tucked herself into my side when a deep voice called out, “Jess?”
Jessica inhaled sharply, the breath sounding like a curse as she turned to look behind us.
And like that, she was gone.
Her arm tightened around me . . . but the girl beneath her chaos had vanished.
“Well, if it isn’t my favorite people in the world,” she said with a wild laugh. “Hmm, well, second and third favorite. There is me, after all.”
Two men approached us. The one on the right rolled his eyes as she spoke. “What are you doing, Jess?”
She placed a hand on her chest. “Whatever do you mean? I’m just out having a night with a friend.”
The guy looked at me and nodded to something behind me. “Save yourself the headache and leave. She has an agenda. She always does.”
“I’m fine here.”
“You hear that? He’s fine here. With me. Imagine that.” Jessica tilted her head to the side and looked the second guy up and down. “Does that bother you, Declan?”
A muscle in the second guy—Declan’s—jaw popped, but he didn’t say a word.
“Jess,” the guy with short, buzzed hair said in warning.
“What about you, Jentry? Does it bother you that he’s fine with me? That all kinds of guys are fine with me?”
“What bothers me is you’re doing this. You find guys with some cash and time and take it.” Jentry looked at the other guy and murmured, “No offense.”
“Fuck off,” Declan groaned.
A wild laugh tumbled from her mouth. “If memory serves, Declan never paid.”
I didn’t know what I was standing in the middle of, but I wanted to leave.
I didn’t have time for this bullshit.
“Fuck, Jess, why won’t you—?” The guy named Jentry slanted a cold glare at me, his nostrils flaring. Gritting his teeth, he said, “If you could give us some space, I’d appreciate it.”
I could see it—the darkness that threatened to overwhelm me . . . it was in him too.
Just as it was in the girl beside me.
I stilled and bit back a curse as I took in his near-black eyes, identical to Jessica’s.
Her brother.
They couldn’t be more opposite. Or more alike.
“Told you I was fine here.”
“Who the fuck are you?”
I smirked.
“Well, this was another great lecture, Dad. It’s always a pleasure seeing you, especially when you’re not arresting me.”
