“My father willkillyou for this!” she hushes out, still fighting, though with less rage and more passion now. The kind she thrives on.

Next to me Leon chuckles darkly. “Should we tell her that it was her father who betrayed her?”

“No. Let Konrad have his fun first. We’ll douse the rest of her rage later with that knowledge,” I reply.

“She’ll be screaming his name and coming before long,” Leon remarks, focusing on her peaked nipples. Like pretty little buds, puckered and desperate to be licked.

“No doubt. It’s why he’s the best man for the job. He knows what she wants. Can sense it. All that emotion has to have an outlet, yes?” I reply, pushing off from the wall. “Come on, our guests will be here in a few hours and with Father away there is much to do.”

“I hope she’s worth all the trouble,” Leon says, referring to the latest girl our father has become obsessed with. It’s why he’s still in London, instead of entertaining our clients this evening.

“She must be. I haven’t seen him this excited since he brought home Six. He thinks this girl will draw in clients from across the world. He even named her.”

“He did?” Leon asks, his voice giving away his surprise.

“Yes, he did.Stopy Plomieniach.”

“Feet of Flames? Fuck, he has got it bad.”

“Indeed…”

“What?” Leon asks, resting his hand on my arm and stopping me in my tracks. On the other side of the room Konrad is currently too preoccupied with Twelve to be concerned with our hushed conversation. “Are you worried because he’s named her?”

“No,” I reply, shaking my head. “She’ll become a Number the moment she steps inside these walls, just like all the rest. That’s not the issue.”

“Then what?”

“Grim has already claimed her. She’s not for sale.”

“Grim? Doesn’t she own that fight club, Tales, in London?”

“Yes, she does.”

“That’s problematic.”

“It is. This girl, Penelope Scott, means something to her.”

“We both know that won’t stop Father from collecting what he wants.”

“Precisely. If she’s held in such high esteem by someone of Grim’s calibre then he’ll only want her more. That’s part of the excitement for him,he always wants what he can’t have. It makes the acquisition all the more sweet once he’s able to secure it by whatever means possible.”

Leon nods. “So we might have trouble coming our way?”

“Without a doubt.”

“Then we’ll prepare for the worst, just like we always do,” he reassures me.

“Fuck sake!” Konrad growls. “I’m trying to do a job here. Either be quiet and enjoy the show, or fucking leave.” He levels his gaze on us both, his hand lazily rubbing between Twelve’s legs, his fingers pinching and twisting her nipple, darkening her skin with bruises.

“Konrad. You know the rules. Keep within them,” I warn. Again.

Despite the lingering hate in Twelve’s eyes, her body reacts to Konrad’s skilled fingers. He knows how to play the most difficult of instruments, and it’s a skill that we use to our advantage. Sometimes, however, my brothers need to be reminded that the Numbers aren’t ours. Never will be. There’s only so far we can go with them. He knows it, as do Leon and I.

“What? She likes it,” he retorts as her hips grind against his hand, the slickness of her pussy glistening in the firelight. “See?”

“Fuck you!” she bites out, but it has less venom now. More acceptance.

“Regardless. Remember why she’s here. She isn’t yours.”
