He was gonna have to provoke Isaac.
“It’s not like you to be this slobby and disorganized.”
Isaac grunted and looked over his shoulder at Kai, the slightest furrow between his brows. That was enough to give Kai hope.
“When have you ever relied on luck before?”
“It wasn’t luck.”
Kai snorted out a short laugh.
“What the hell else would you call it? You could never know for certain what I would do,” Kai said.
Isaac whirled around, the hard set of his jaw making Kai smile up at him.
“I know you. I knew what you’d do.”
Kai cocked a brow at him and said, “You don’t know me at all.”
Isaac stepped closer, his voice low and husky and at one point he’d probably found it sexy. Now, though? It gave him the creeps.
“I know you intimately. I know what you sound like in the throes of pleasure.”
Kai scrunched up his nose.
“First of all. Ew. Second. Who talks like that?”
The provocation seemed to be working well. Maybe too well.
Isaac grabbed Kai by the arm and jerked him toward the door. He was dragged inside and dropped into the only chair in the otherwise empty living room. He put his ankle over his knee and leaned back in the chair while giving Isaac a bored look.
“Is this where you’re gonna torture me? Will it be with knives or that awful prose of yours?”
Isaac was grinding his teeth by now.
“You’re right,” Isaac said with a slow nod. “I should’ve killed you, then Briggs, and made it look like you killed each other.”
“See, that’s what I’m saying. You made a mess of things. You lost control.”
“I didn’t lose control,” Isaac yelled, making Kai flinch ever so slightly.
Fuck.
“I had to,” Isaac said, sounding almost petulant. “That’s what they wanted.”
“You know,” Kai said, arching a brow at Isaac. “If it ever gets out that you accepted a hit on your own partner, I’m pretty sure your integrity would be shot to shit.”
He mimicked an explosion with his hand while mouthing, “Poof.”
“Briggs is the one who fucked up,” Isaac said.
“Yeah, by trusting you,” Kai drawled.
“No. His family took out that hit.”
Yikes. That was not what he expected. Actually, it was the last fucking thing he wanted. If they already knew… then the hit on him was to keep him quiet. Not to exact revenge.
“He pissed off his whole family?”
