“Tell me you miss this, sweet thing,” he whispers.

“Of course I miss it. I miss you, Archer.”

“We’ve given you what you want, Jaci.”

“Not even close yet,” I say.

“You got your outlaw back. You could say thank you to me.”

“Fuck you, Archer,” I growl.

“That can easily be arranged.”

I lift my right knee gently and smile. “You wish.”

“No, sweet thing, you’re the one wishing for it. Tell me what else you’re wishing for. This sudden change in attitude… it’s different.”

“You know what you did.”

“This is all because of Seth?”

“And if I say that it is?”

“What would you like to know?” Archer asks.

“Everything,” I say. “You set him up. You and Cullen both set him up. You made him think something was going to happen and it didn’t.”

“If he’s that stupid to believe what we said…”

“What?”

“Maybe he was just trying to impress you.”

“I’m anHeir,” I say. “I should have been involved in it. I should have been told.”

“I’m aSavageand I was involved,” Archer reminds me. “It was more personal than anything.”

“To who? You? Cullen?”

“Let’s just say it was personal to everyone,” Archer says. “Seth was the best option. The best person for the job in a way. Good for him. And he got it done.”

“What does he get out of it then? Huh?”

Archer presses his body against mine.

Hard.

With command.

He touches the very tip of the knife to my bottom lip.

He makes a line across my lip.

“Last time I checked he’s able to walk aroundDSCwithout a knife to his throat,” Archer whispers. “Or a bullet to the back of the head. Which he very much deserves. Relationships are fragile, Jaci. Every single one. Be careful of what you think you have and what you think you want.”

“Is this you trying to make me feel weak so I’ll let you in my pants?” I ask.

“No. I don’t need to make you feel anything to get into your pants. We both know that. I bet I can just run this knife down your perfect body… followed by my tongue…”
