Blizzard folded his arms across his chest tightly, his biceps bulging and his fists clenched.

“One of them came into the club and organized a private booth for tonight right next to the stage. Apparently, it’s our target’s birthday and they’re planning on celebrating,” Op explained, his eyes drifting between the two of us. “It’s a better opportunity. He’ll be drunk and merry, and his boys have bought him some private time with one of the girls.” He indicated me with his head and my stomach once again flipped.

“She’s not there to fuck him,” Blizzard said sternly.

Optimus rolled his eyes. “We aren’t asking her to fuck him, brother.”

“Op—” Blizzard started, but I cut him off.

“How long do I have before we need to leave?” I asked, pulling the back door open. Jayla’s tired eyes blinked up at me and I smiled, earning a soft grin from her in return.

“ASAP.”

I nodded, pulling Jay from her seat and lifting her onto my hip. “I’ll get this one inside and then grab my stuff,” I told them as I headed for the clubhouse. Tense voices came from behind me, I knew Blizzard wasn’t happy, but I was still confused as to why.

I smiled briefly at Judge and Jackie as I passed, Light stood with them now, flicking the lighter in his hand impatiently and lifting his chin at me.

Jayla looked around, her eyes taking in all the different people and the atmosphere. I heard heavy crunching of the gravel coming up fast behind me as I ducked around the side of the building and through the patio doors. Heading to the right, I dodged through a couple of scantily clad club girls grinding on brothers and shot up the stairs in search of Blizzard’s room. I knew he was following, I could practically feel the heat of his anger blazing a trail behind us. The doors upstairs were named, so I checked each until I found his and stood to the side silently waiting for him to open it.

He stepped around me and turned the handle, throwing it open with force and storming inside. His mood confused me. He knew this was what was going to happen, whether it was today or tomorrow. It was planned and he’d agreed to it entirely, smart remarks included.

I stepped inside. The room was large, at least four times the size of the one I was sleeping in downstairs. But I get it, club girls didn’t need luxuries.

His massive bed sat front and center, the blankets still tossed and messy from the night before. To the right though was a small pink princess bed with a large rug on the floor which was patterned with numbers and letters and bright colors. There were toys scattered all over the room, kids’ books and DVDs covered a small table.

He reached out and took Jayla from my arms, picking up a small tablet device as he rounded the bed. I watched as he let her pick a game to play. Her little face smiled up at him brightly as he kissed her cheek and stepped away.

Her little fingers danced over the surface of the tablet and soft giggles filled the room.

I smiled. “I need to go.” But before I could make my escape, he shut the door behind me and pulled me by the hand into his ensuite. He checked Jayla over his shoulder one last time as we entered before spinning me and pressing me against the basin.

My mouth fell open. “What are you doing?” I asked nervously.

“Don’t let him touch you.” Came the stern warning.

I narrowed my eyes. “Who?”

“The guy you’re trying to attract with this body.” His hand went to my waist and slipped under my shirt. His hips held me pinned against the basin, but this wasn’t sexual, not in the least. This felt more like desperation.

“Why?” I asked softly, reaching up to place my hand on his chest.

His head dropped, and suddenly this man who’d spent the last few days giving me hell with his mood changes seemed so broken.

“Because I need you to come out of this alive.”

I shook my head. “Blizzard, I don’t understand.”

“It was easy to convince myself that I hated you when you weren’t around to prove me wrong.” His head stayed dipped, but his eyes looked up, finding mine. My heart stuttered. “Two days. That was all it took for you to do just that. I don’t know what the shit is that I’m feeling, but I need more time to figure it out.”

“I…” Words were lost on my tongue. Was this him telling me that I hadn’t fucked this up completely?

“Trust isn’t earned overnight. I need more time. So you need to come back, okay?” His hand squeezed my waist.

My heart skipped a beat and I lifted my hand to graze his bristled cheek. “I’ll try.”

“Don’t try, just do it,” he said sternly like it was my choice. But it wasn’t. If these men found me out, they would probably kill me for attempting to deceive them.

“Rose!” I heard Optimus’ booming voice down the hall.

Blizzard didn’t move, our eyes held connected until I wiggled myself from his grasp and stepped away. He placed both hands on the basin, not looking at me as I slipped from the small space.

I ran around the bed and gave Jay a quick kiss on the cheek before dashing out the door.

Leaving my heart in that room with them.
