“Don’t look at me like that, princess. I am not my father or the reason Clay was brought here. And I won’t be half as nice as him if you try to come at me with a blade,” he tells her with a grin and a challenge in his eyes.
Kenzi takes a step towards him but then she stops, her eyes going to Xave when he clears his throat.
“Okay, so when do you need this done by? And you do know my services aren’t cheap, right?” She says with a grin.
“We have four weeks to get this done, Kenzi. After that it becomes much more complicated.”
“And what, exactly, would those complications entail, Clay?” Xave asks, stepping up to stand beside Kenzi and tucking her into his side as she rolls her eyes at him.
“The week after is when the deal’s supposed to happen. If our fathers are not dead before then and the deal goes through, we will have another war on our hands when it comes to this guy.”
“What’s so bad about that? Let him come. I can cut his fucking head off and put an end to the skin trade once and for all. And as for your fucking dads thinking they can sell girls in my fucking city,” she spits, looking at each of us before closing her eyes and taking a deep breath. She opens her eyes and looks straight at me. “Well, I think it’s about time they realised they have fucked with me and my city for the last time.”
She tries to shrug out of Xave’s hold but he doesn’t let her go so she looks up at him, having to bend her head right back so she can see his face.
“Do you have any idea how uncomfortable this is, Xave? Let me the fuck go before I strain myself, andnotin a fun way.”
He grins down at her but doesn’t let her go. Her fist flies into his side which makes him loosen his hold slightly as he lets out a small groan and she slips out from under his arm, giggling as she takes a few steps back when he narrows his eyes at her.
“Sorry, not sorry, babe,” she says, still giggling as she turns back to look at us. “Okay boys, I’ll do it. I’ll need everything you have on them, and I mean everything. Their routines, how many men they have with them at all times, if they have any mistresses I want to know who they are and where they live. Hell, I want to know how many times they take a shit and if they have anyone with them when they do. Now,” she says, looking over at Xave and Poppy with a smile. “It’s time for you four to get the fuck out of here. We’ve got plans.”
“We’re not done here, princess. We still need to come up with some kind of plan. Or do you think you’ll be able to stroll up to the front door and just walk in?” Rafe says, crossing his arms over his chest.
“Oh no, pretty boy. This is now my party and if you want me to do this it gets done my way. You need to get me that information before I even think about bringing you in on any plans. Or, I can go back to my earlier idea and just kill everyone before burning this whole fucking place to the ground,” she says with a shrug. “The choice is yours.”
Rafe takes a step forward and Kenzi rolls her shoulders and smiles. I put my arm out in front of him to stop him from going any further and Kenzi starts chuckling.
“What’s wrong, Clay? Are you scared I’m going to break him?” She asks, smirking at him.
Rafe growls from beside me and goes to take another step forward but I shake my head to stop him.
“Stop provoking him, Tink. We’ll do this your way and get the information you want,” I tell her.
“Perfect,” she says with a smile. “Now, get the fuck out of my house before I change my mind.”
CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE
POPPY
Istand in the middle of the large foyer and turn to take it in once again as Kenzi closes the door on Clay and the guys and clicks the lock into place. What I’ve seen of the house so far is gorgeous and I can't wait to explore the rest of the place. I jump as arms come around my front and I’m pulled back into Xave’s hard chest.
“You did everything I asked of you downstairs, you were such a good girl, Little One,” his breath across my ear makes me shiver in response as my eyes flutter closed.
“Thank you, Daddy.”
His arms tighten around me as he bends down and starts to place soft kisses on my neck. I let out a quiet moan as my head drops to the side to allow him better access and he chuckles against my neck as he continues to move his lips along my skin. I let out a small sigh and turn to face him, a smile tugging at my lips as I look up into his eyes.
“Does that mean I get to explore this beautiful house now?” I ask him excitedly, ready to explore and find the treasures a huge house like this is surely hiding.
“There will be plenty of time to explore later,” he tells me with a grin, a mixture of lust and mischief in his eyes. “We still have something we need to take care of first.”
My brow furrows in confusion at what else we could possibly have to do tonight and I pout up at him in disappointment.
“But I thought we were done with all the serious stuff now the guys have gone.” I say, scrunching my face up in displeasure and making him chuckle. He leans down and presses a light kiss to my lips.
“Don’t worry, you’ll enjoy the rest of the night, I promise.”
He lifts me into his arms with a grin, my legs automatically wrapping around his waist and my arms flying to his shoulders to steady myself as I giggle. Wrapping his arms around my back he leans his face into mine for another kiss. His tongue darts out to lick across the seam of my lips and when I open my mouth he deepens it, his tongue tangling with mine as we taste each other. I moan into his mouth as I wrap my arms around his neck to bring me as close to him as possible and his hold around me tightens slightly before he starts moving, his lips never leaving mine.
