“He’s occupied,” Blade deadpans.

Nina narrows her eyes on me before softening them on Blade. “If you want Xan’s help on this, I want specific payment for him. Otherwise, I’ll have him pulled back.”

“Which would be?” I ask.

Rage sears through me when her gaze lands on Blade’s groin. I shake my head. “No. You want money, I’ll get you money.”

“Oh, baby boy,” she croons at me. “I’ve always wanted to take a ride on Blade. He seems fun.”

“N—”

“Fine,” Blade cuts me off coldly.

I reach out snatching his arm before he can follow Nina. “Bro.”

He stares straight through me, ripping his arm away.

Fuck!

I lift my chin. “You want someone? Have me. This is my arrangement, not his.”

Nina lets out a condescending laugh.

“Blade,” I call.

Ignoring me, he moves to sit on the chair, undoing his belt and zipper. The slap of my shoe echoes as I take an enraged step forward, but the familiar cock of a gun sounds to my left before cold metal presses to my temple, stopping me.

“He agreed,” Jared says.

“Blade,” I call again.

As though he can’t hear me, he stares blankly past Nina while she removes her pants and underwear to straddle him.

I’m the reason for all of this. Smith wants to kill me, Rome and his family are targeted because of my father, and my brother currently has his cock inside someone because he’s loyal to me. His stare is even more blank and lifeless than usual.

I’m paralysed as my gaze stays locked on the side of his face as the stupid bitch hisses and groans while adjusting to his size before riding him harder. My teeth threaten to break with how hard I’m clenching my jaw, my hands aching in their tight fists. “Blade,” I call again.

His dead eyes slowly move from their fixed position to lock on mine. Her pale ass dimples beneath his fingertips, and she winces from the brutal hold.

“He’s done enough for you!” I push harder into the gun pressed against my head.

“He’s been compensated,” Jared fires back.

“I’m sorry,” I mouth to Blade.

A cruel smile curls his lips as his hand snakes up to tighten around her translucent throat. “Hurry up,” he spits.

He increases pressure, her moans choppy. Quickly, she’s screaming and convulsing on him. Her eyes widen when Blade lifts her off him by her throat. Jared doesn’t falter, not seeming to care that his sister is currently choking and slapping Blade everywhere she can. Blade places her on her feet as he stands.

She stumbles backwards, drawing in a jagged breath before coughing violently. Doing up his zipper and belt, Blade shakes out a cigarette and lights it, looking to Nina. “You’ve had your dream cock. Try that again, and I’ll snap your fucking neck.”

Snatching her dirty pants to cover herself, she scowls. “6AM. That’s the maximum our men will protect you. Extended time will cost you another round, Wilder.”

I side eye Jared and slap my hand against the gun to push it away. “Xander will text you the address.”

The gun is snatched from my hand and replaced by my own as we move toward our car.

I hadn’t realised they’d given me the wrong one.
