“I have every right to—”
“Barge into my home without an invitation? I don’t think so.”
Leo narrows his eyes.
“Sweetness,” Christian says in a voice so low no one else hears.
I ignore him.
Leo says, “You’re my sister, I do have a right.”
“No,” I say, “You don’t. And I have a doorbell for a reason. “Now, are you going to tell me why you’re here, or am I going to have to shoot you?”
ChapterFourteen
CHRISTIAN
Oh, fuck, I’d be laughing if I could. This is funny. It’s also horrible because being caught almost in the act—thank Christ, I heard voices and stopped before they reached the kitchen—isn’t something I want for Mia.
Me? I don’t care if I’m caught. But her?
More humiliation and indignity she doesn’t need, and Leo’s too pigheaded to see that. He’s all about fucking honor. I get it, this is his sister, but doing his bullshit in front of her isn’t going to win him any awards in the brotherly arena.
She has an air of misery, and I send a glance at Leo, who’s ready to spit fire. With a sigh, I turn to her. “I’m going to go talk with your brother. You okay?”
“I’m fine.”
The clipped note to her words tells me to let her the fuck go, and I do.
“Come on, Leo, let’s go talk.”

I can still feel the tightness of Mia. The wetness. The heat. And my fucking balls hurt from being so close but not winning the prize.
Thinking about this isn’t really something I want to do with Leo glowering at me. The other three have wisely found other things to do outside Mia’s study, like pretend they’re not there. And, from the kitchen comes the banging and clanking of an angry female making her displeasure known.
“You got news?”
Leo’s gaze flicks over me as he leans on the desk. “What I have, are questions.”
“About what’s going on.” I sit on her little sofa. “Here with the club, at home.” Something comes to me, and I look at him sharply. “My parents?”
“Blake would have told you if we had that last piece of news because I’m not sure Theo’s going to let them breathe if they come to light.”
“Him and me both.” But he’s got a point. I’ve told Theo while I’d prefer to be there, he can wipe them out if he has a chance.
“Tell me more about the note.”
I tell him what I know, which is pretty much nothing.
“So, she just found it and threw it away?”
“It’s Mia.”
He breathes out, frustration vibrating through him. “I should fucking force her to come home.”
“Kidnap? Because that’s about the only way. We tried to strong-arm her before, and I think that’s why she tossed the note. She’s beyond not pleased I’m here again. But I’ve let her know I’m not going anywhere. And the only reason we got that far is that girl in the hospital and me being there when she brought it all up to Angel and Reaper. If she thinks this bouncer, Frank, is the one—”
