Throwing out my bait and praying he snapped.
"My brothers are assholes," he shot back, his heated gaze lingering on my bare thighs. "And you are a whore."
Reel in your catch, Ashton.
Take him back.
He's yours.
"Not yet," I mused, hitching my dress higher, defiance burning inside of me.Feel something, you bastard. Bleed with me. Remember what we were. Save me from your family."But you can always change that –"
"Stop," he warned, scowling at me. "It is not appropriate."
"Appropriate?" I arched a perfectly tweezed brow. "Since when did you care about such mundane formalities, Trig?" I planted my hands on my hips. "Since when did you care about your daddy's business?"
When he didn’t respond to my taunts, I shrugged.
"Suit yourself." I blew an impressive bubble with my gum before resuming my chewing.Work harder, Ashton. You need him."So, what did you want from me? Why call me in here?"
"Why wait outside the door for me to call on you?"
"Because I wanted to see you," I told him honestly.
Anger flashed in his eyes. "Maybe I did not want to see you."
"And yet, here I am," I feign-sighed. "At your request."
"You are trying to fuck me over, Ashton," he growled, tone low and hard. "The overseas account?" He narrowed his eyes. "I know you have been pulling from it."
Bingo.
"I sure have," I replied brightly, beaming at him.Get mad. Feel something."Just like you taught me." Offering him another devilish grin, I made a point of hitching up my dress and sliding a thick stack of hundreds from the elastic band of my panties. "Gotta protect my future since I'm on my own now, huh?"
"It stops now," he barked before going off on a tangent in his mother tongue.
I smiled to myself, remembering how hard he tried to learn the common tongue when he, too, was thrown to the wolves.
Unlike me, however, Trigger came back to lead the pack.
"Really?" I pushed, resting a hip against his table.Blow up, Trig. Come on, you can do it."You wantourmoney back, Trig?" Leaning closer, I placed the bills in front of him, keeping my fingers on the cash. "Here – take it."
He started to reach across the table but I quickly snatched them away, releasing a low chuckle.
"You like taking things from me," I purred, placing the bills back in my panties. "Do it." Fisting my dress, I whispered, "Take it."Take me. Save me.
"Fuck you," he hissed, jaw clenched. "Whore."
Pain.
Block it out.
"I thought you hated everything this place stood for," I continued my taunting, meeting his furious glower with a sweet smile of my own. "Hmm?" Fingering the cash, I batted my long lashes at him. "You loathe our families and want The Order to burn to the ground. That's what you used to say all the time, isn’t it, Trig?"Please remember, Trig."That was our plan–"
"Shut your damn mouth,puta," he commanded, running a hand through his thick hair in frustration. He cast a warning glance to the door that linked this room with his father's lair – the room used totesttheirproductsbefore making a sale."Do you want to get us both killed?"
No, I want you to save me from your family.
"Oh, I don’t know." I shrugged. "Death has a solid, dependable appeal to it, don’t you think?"
