I rinsed it out and loaded it into the dishwasher. When I was finished, I leaned against the granite countertop and continued watching him.
“And what is that supposed to be?”
He ignored me at first, like he always tended to do. When I continued to stare, he sat down the foil packet with little chocolate chunks in it and stared back at me with eyes so fucking dark it almost looked like he didn’t have any.
“This is a glass. Inside this glass is a vanilla goat milk shake.
“On top of that is puffy white shit, and on top of that is expensive ass chocolate. Any other questions Grimm?”
“Nope,” I grinned. Fucking with him was one of the many highlights of my day—second after killing a few motherfuckers. “Just wondering if my baby sister still had your balls in the palm of her hand.”
“You know, now that you mention it, I’ll be balls deep inside your baby sister’s sweet, perfect fucking pussy here—as soon as she’s done with this drink.” He lifted the glass up and a smug ass grin took over his face, matching the one now wiped clean off mine.
“You leaving soon?” he asked, changing the subject as he went over to a cabinet.
“Uh huh.”
“Come tell Cali bye, and I’ll walk you out,” he more demanded of me than told me, grabbing a straw before making his way out of the kitchen.
That’s how it worked, and I had no issues with it. I willingly and loyally did the devil’s bidding. I was one of his few confidants.
It was the devil I found a brother in, who gave me a purpose, a home, and a family.
I stood in the kitchen a few seconds longer, prepping to say goodbye to the sister I felt I’d just gotten back. I didn’t do feely emotional, and she’d turned into a hormonal typhoon as of late. She’d always been a bit manically childish—not her fault—but shit was at a def-con level so getting outta here for a few days sounded like a mini vacation.
Even though we weren’t that close in the beginning, I couldn’t see life without her crazy ass. She fit right in with our eighty degrees of fucked upness. She made my closest friend slightly human again.
It was something I’d been wondering if I’d royally fucked up for myself, by failing the only woman who’d made a lasting impression on me in every way that mattered.
“Damn, Grimmy, you set yourself up for that one,” Cobra laughed, interrupting my self-reflecting, waltzing around the corner with a little blonde who was damn near dragging her feet. By the fussed up strands of his red hair, it was obvious what they’d been doing.
“I take it from the lack of crocodile tears she isn’t aware of what’s coming next?”
“Oh, nah, I’m gonna her take to the play room. Thirsty.” He shrugged and pulled out a water-bottle, shaking it at me to emphasize his point.
The blonde looked my direction for explanation, no doubt wondering what the play room was and why it would make her wish she’d never set foot in this house.
She wasn’t going to get one—not from me. I didn’t give a shit how badly he was going to torture her.
She’d put herself in this situation; they all did. It was all about being fucked by a Savage.
Now Romero was permanently out of the running, it left three potential candidates close enough to him to count as bragging rights for spreading their legs for someone at the top of our hierarchy.
They never took into account that they wouldn’t live long enough to tell anyone. Shit had only gotten worse after it was known Cali had a ring on her finger.
Things were finally dying back down to normal now. Maybe they realized she was a little worse off in the head than we were. That took some fucking effort.
“Go get her settled, I’m heading out.”
I left him with those parting words and made my way to the second level.
One of the large double doors leading into their bedroom was cracked. Knowing that was done for my benefit only, I walked in without knocking.
The shit I felt seeing my sister on Rome’s lap as he cupped her round bump was foreign to me. Fuck, it was foreign for him.
I could admit I was
happy—maybe even as far as excited—to have a niece or nephew sooner than later. Love and all the other bullshit didn’t mean much to me, but I wasn’t numb to everything.
