“Never,” I said, my voice wavering.
“That’s my good girl.” He gave my hand a squeeze before stepping away from me. “So, how about that ride?”
“Where are you taking him?” I asked the twins as they followed Tanner out of the house, but they wouldn’t answer me. “Uncle Greyson.”
“Greyson,” Aunt Eve said gently. “Where are the twins taking him?”
He looked between us both before coming up to me. “I need you to trust me.” He cupped my face. “I know you have questions. I promise they’ll get answered but I need you to have patience.”
“Just tell me where he’s going,” I pleaded. “Please. That’s all I want to know.”
Uncle Greyson sighed. “Home, Bee. He’s going home.”
Tanner
I WAS VIBRATING. ADRENALINErushed through me, giving me that strength I had taken advantage of from the very beginning. I had always known not all of the wires in my brain were crossed right but I never knew just how bad it was until that night.
Heat licked my skin, the glow from the fire in front of me, making the hairs on my small body, tingle.
The flames danced.
The screams died.
The smell of charred flesh burned into my lungs.
I grinned as I watched my aunt and uncle die at the hands of the fire I started.
My uncle had spent the better part of a year, raping me. While my aunt only beat me, she never stopped her husband from doing the unspeakable things he did. Even after she caught him on top of me.
It only made sense for them to die while fucking. Served them right.
“This isn’t going to end well,” Sammy said, pulling me from my thoughts. He stuck a smoke between his lips, lit it, and inhaled before blowing out large smoke circles.
“How do you know that?” Cyrus asked, his eyes flicking to mine in the rearview mirror before looking back out at the road in front of us.
“Just do. This fucker has enemies.” Sammy nodded toward me.
I ignored them and went back to staring out the window. It had been a couple of hours since we left the Hell’s Harlem clubhouse. We had been driving for a while and it was now later into the night. While most were getting ready for bed on this side of the world, others, like me, were only just starting their day.
“Do you have a plan, Tanner?” One of them asked but I wasn’t sure who.
“Yeah, to get back to Busy.” It was the only plan I cared to follow through on.
“We’re here.” Cyrus leaned forward, pulling the SUV down an alley and shutting off the headlights before the vehicle came to a complete stop. “I think we are, anyway.”
“About fucking time,” Sammy mumbled. “Are you sure this is the place?”
I took a breath, leaned my head from side to side, and let the crack that rippled through the tendons in my neck, slide over every inch of me. “Oh yeah.”
Before the twins could ask any more questions, I jumped from the vehicle.
The driver’s side window lowered. “You be safe. You have a girl to get back to.”
I looked between Cyrus and Sammy and nodded.
The instructions were that they would drop me off and leave. I didn’t need something to happen to them. I had already caused enough trouble in their little world.
Knowing what I would have to do, I walked down the alley toward a large metal door that I had used so many times over the years, I lost count.
