All of themen look serious, even Knox for once.
Gage still looks pissed, but I feel like it’s for an entirely different reason now. Not about the book or my petty prank, but because he doesn’t like this plan.
He’s made that more than clear since I laid it out for them a couple days ago. Telling me it’s dangerous and stupid and whatever else.
Whatever. It’smyplan. And it’ll work. Or I’ll die trying to get my revenge. Either way, it’s worth it to me.
I go upstairs to my room, leaving Gage to be pissed and the others to deal with him. I need to get dressed. I took the time to put together an outfit like the one Avalon is supposed to be wearing. A short skirt that shows off my legs and thighs and barely covers my ass, with skimpy panties underneath. Avalon said that Ivan likes “easy access,” and I wanted to throw up in my mouth, but it makes sense. I throw a halter top on with it, easily untied from the top, and no bra, so my nipples are basically poking through. I have plenty of heels to choose from, and I grab a pair that I know I’ll be able to kick ass in and throw them on too.
It’s skimpy and revealing, perfect for what I’m trying to do.
The picture of Hannah with my list on the back is in its usual place in the nightstand drawer, and I grab that too, shoving it into the little pocket on the skirt. I want it with me when I do this. It’s the only piece of Hannah I have left, and she deserves to be there when I finally bring this shit to an end.
It’s the best I can do for her now.
I give myself a onceover in the mirror and fluff up my hair a little before heading downstairs, ready to go.
All the guys are waiting for me when I get down there. They’re armed and ready, serious-faced.
“Are you here to see me off?” I ask them, flashing a teasing smile. “I didn’t know you cared.”
“We’re going as back up,” Ash says, grinning back.
I look at Gage, my eyebrows twitching upward. “What happened to me doing this on my own?”
He was the one who was so adamant that none of them were going to help me. But at the same time, he was the first one whodidhelp me.
“You still are,” he says. “We’re just going to make sure it gets done.”
Priest’s icy blue eyes practically burn as he looks at me intensely. His jaw is set, and the fire in his eyes is the only expression on his face. He doesn’t say anything.
Ash gives me a long look up and down, then whistles, waggling his eyebrows at my outfit. “You’ll blend right in,” he teases.
“Is that supposed to be a compliment?” I fire back.
“If you want it to be.” He winks, and I roll my eyes at him.
Knox moves in, nuzzling my ear before dragging his tongue up the shell of it. I shiver, and I can feel him smirking.
“It’s a good night for vengeance,” he murmurs, voice low.
Almost on cue, the piercing he gave me aches pleasantly.
“You’re right,” I tell him. “It is a good night.”
It’s a good night to end this, once and for all.
I don’t argue about the guys deciding they’re coming along. They can do whatever they want as long as they don’t fuck it up.
Avalon texted me the location of where she’s supposed to be meeting Ivan, and I get in my car and drive there, anticipation curling through me.
It’s an abandoned area that looks like it might have been a park at one point. It’s dark and totally isolated, and looking around, I can tell why people wouldn’t want their kids to play here or whatever.
The trees loom in the darkness, and it’s far enough away from both the road and any other buildings that if something happened, it would be hard to call for help.
