“Brokering this deal?” I tsk. “Don’t talk dirty to me.”
“Is that a yes?”
“It’s a fuck yes.”
Unknown Number: We have heard that a friend of his is seeking someone
Victoria: And you know where that someone is?
Unknown Number: Secrets exist at our leisure.
Victoria: He has two Veronians in his possession. You offer only one trade
Unknown Number: What else is it that he requires?
Before she can type anything, I rumble, “I don’t want you killing anyone else. That’s my job. Not yours.”
“Maxim—”
“No. I have no problem with you going in this direction. I haven’t from the start. But that side of things isnotfor you. It’s my job.”
She clucks her tongue.
Victoria: He requests that any actions such as the ones last night, he undertakes on my behalf.
Unknown Number: Such a simple request
Unknown Number: The spilling of blood provides him with secrets we might not want to share, however
Victoria: He’ll be sure to end our brothers’ misery tonight then
Unknown Number: We accept his request
“Tell him that if he threatens your freedom or takes you out of my house again, without forewarning, there’ll be consequences.”
She hums and then shows me her phone so I can read it.
Victoria: He warns that if anyone threatens my freedom or steals me away from him again, he’ll burn your society to the ground and return the brothers unfortunate enough to face his wrath to their families in pieces
I squeeze her tighter in my hold. “My dick is hard again.”
“Maxim!” She giggles.
“It’s true.” I press a kiss to her forehead. “I couldn’t have put it better myself. Send.”
Victoria: Direct quote
Victoria: “I’m not afraid of you, but YOU should be afraid of ME.”
Unknown Number: You are our sister. So long as you don’t fail us, your success is our priority
“We’ll see about that,” I gripe, reaching for my own cell phone.
Retrieving the coordinates, I transfer them to her device.
*Victoria sends coordinates*
Victoria: Our brothers can be found here
