I rolled my eyes and shifted my glare from Nicole to Imani, addressing Nicole. “Piss us off, and you’ll find out like this.”
Imani glared back at me, her lips curled up in disgust. I clenched my jaw and balled my fists, knowing that if she didn’t stop fucking staring at me like that, I would shove her back up those basement stairs and lock us both out in the cold to teach her a fucking lesson.
I hated the way she glared at me. I hated the way she made me feel. I had made it this far in life without feeling this way about a woman. I didn’t need this shit now. I didn’t need to feel this way about her.
But, fuck, I wanted to.
“We need to talk about what we’re going to do about your father, Jace,” Kai said, tapping his fingers on a side table. “Once Nicole’s father is gone, it will be easy to put him in jail. Is that what you want? Or do you want him tortured and dead?”
Allie tensed beside Jace and looked up at him, waiting for his answer. He swallowed hard and looked away from her.
“Those are two different ball games,” I said, finally pulling my gaze away from Imani—because the more I looked at her, the more guilt I felt for letting her go to the game tonight to see that. I sat across from Allie and Jace. “Your father has increased his security, which I’m sure you saw. It’s difficult to get him alone. If you want him dead—”
“We’ll talk about this later,” Jace said, ending the discussion. “When the girls are gone.”
We fell into silence again until Imani stood up and marched to the basement steps. “I’m not sitting here any longer. I’m going upstairs.”
And before I could stop myself, I walked up the stairs behind her, taking two stairs at a time, and slammed the basement door closed behind us, grabbing her by the back of the neck and pulling her back to me. “You’re not going anywhere.”
