“There’s word on the street you three are tamed. I see why now. She’s a killer. Crazy like you, for sure.” He laughs, clapping me on the shoulder. “Good on you, kid. You needed someone to come in and show you who’s boss and give you something to fight for.”

I roll my eyes, and he laughs harder.

“All’s fair in love and war, brother. Trust me, I’ve spent enough time looking for something like that to know when it’s serious. Too many bitches hopping on and off my dick for the status, but when you get a true one? Keep her safe and close, and fucking give her the world and don’t ever let go.”

My eyes go to Blair, who’s flirting unashamedly with Bray. “I don’t plan to.”

“Good.” He nods. “I’d keep your eyes to the ground.”

“Why, you hear something?” I demand, turning my back to protect Blair.

“Just some rumours, nothing serious yet. Some players are thinking of making moves.”

“We’ve had some... small issues so far,” I admit.

He nods. “They’ll think she’s a weakness, so prove to them otherwise. Right, you grumpy bastard, I’m off. Blair, lovely to meet you. Bray, you twat, stop stealing my bikes. Asher, thanks for the new painting.” He leaves, and Blair grins after him.

“I like him.”

“No!” we all say at the same time, making her laugh as the music cranks higher and the rich flock to us for their hits. We sell, and the night moves on quickly, but in the back of my mind, all I can think about is who is gunning for us and when will they make their move. But Blair convinces me to relax and have fun—she’s the only person who could.

We chat and relax until Blair wants to dance again, and then she drags Bray away. As soon as they’re dancing, Asher pulls his phone out like he’s been doing all night, which isn’t like him.

“Asher, what’s wrong?” I ask. I recognise the worry on his face. He bites his lip and lowers his voice, which tells me it’s a Crew matter then.

“Don’t tell Blair, I don’t want her to worry, but it wasn’t any of us that accessed the security cameras. I had our guy check into it, and it was an outside source. A blunt hack and delete. Whatever they did, they didn’t want us to see, that’s for sure.”

“A target for us?” I snap, stiffening.

“Maybe.” He nods.

“Sweep the house now, a full team. Bugs, cameras, devices. I want it cleared.”

He nods, immediately returning to his phone. My eyes go to Blair, dancing and laughing with Bray, and my heart stutters. I can’t be too careful. It’s not just my brothers I have to protect now, it’s her too. Nothing can happen to her; I will ensure that.

Or this whole fucking city will burn.

I don’t know who thinks they can get away with an attack on us, but we will find them, and when we do, they are fucking dead. Their blood will cover my hands and weapons before it even so much as pools near our girl.

Not that she would care.

But she’s ours, and we protect what’s ours.

I’ll kill them all, and then fuck her in their blood just to prove it.
