My brows pinch together. “Of course I am.”
“Not what I mean.” The smirk on his face is as annoying as ever. “You’re bringing your woman to a war zone. Truly subjecting her to our life and not just asking her to sneak in and out of the chaos.”
I jab a finger at the call button. “Do you truly believe that Justine won’t ever see you murder someone? What’s the point of keeping them in our lives if we’re going to hide who we truly are?”
For once, he doesn’t have a smart-ass response, and before he can properly reply, the elevator doors part and there are our two women.
“Speak of the devil,” I say with a grin, caused by the glare on Olivia’s perfect face.
“You haven’t answered your phone for me all afternoon,” she says, calmer than I expect.
I move into the elevator as Jaxon does the same thing. Though, it doesn’t seem as if Justine is furious with him. She wears a smirk that might be worse than Olivia’s glare.
“I’ve been busy,” I say as the doors close. “I made sure that Justine would update you through Jaxon.”
“Oh, she told me,” Olivia replies, then the two of them share a look that has my shoulders tensing. “And we’ve decided that we’re both going with you.”
The rumble that comes from Jaxon only serves to put a smile on my face considering the conversation we were just having.
“Not fucking happening,” he says, looking only at Justine. “You have no reason to be there.”
“Olivia is my friend,” she says. “My only friend that I can truly be myself with. So, yes, I have a reason to be there for her and to make sure she has backup while the rest of your brutes are blowing heads off.”
“She makes a point,” I say as we get to the fourth floor, only Olivia and me stepping out.
The look Jaxon gives me is something I haven’t seen in a long time, and I decide pushing his buttons should be something I do more often.
“We’re going to our room,” he says, then presses a button, shutting the doors.
Olivia looks up at me, a smile on her face. “I didn’t expect you to enjoy that so much.”
“Neither did I.” I pick her up, wrap her legs around my waist, and start walking her toward the apartment. When she doesn’t start to kiss me like I expect, I pause. “What’s wrong?”
She tugs her lower lip into her mouth and looks slightly to my left. “Tori is still in there.”
“I told you what would happen if you didn’t find her somewhere else to sleep,” I say, though I know there isn’t all that much time for me to ravage her like I want. The sun has set, and plans have already been set into motion.
Olivia shoves at my chest playfully. “You wouldn’t force me.”
I lean forward and bite at her mouth. “No, but I’d make you really want to fuck me, regardless of who could hear, and then tell you we need to go.”
Her face pales, and her lips part. “Youwoulddo that, you evil son of a bitch.”
“You’re lucky we have someplace to be, or I would fill your mouth with my cock instead of those filthy words.” My darkly spoken words leave her speechless, just what I was aiming for, and I open the door into our apartment with Olivia still wrapped around me.
Sure enough, Tori is there, sitting on the couch, and her eyes widen when she sees us. I don’t wave or say hello. Honestly, if I’d thought she was going to be such a pain in the ass about Titan, I might not have saved her.
That’s a lie. I know it the moment I think the words. Olivia would have never been okay without her best friend, but Tori better get over whatever sentimental feelings she has toward the bastard.
He’s dying tonight. No matter what anyone else thinks or wants.
Olivia waves at her. “Be right back.”
Tori isn’t likely considering the two of us need to change and talk, but I don’t bother to say that. I carry Olivia into our room, kicking the door closed behind us, and wait to set her down until we enter the closet. As soon as she’s on two feet, I start to lift up her tank top.
Her brow raises. “I thought you said we had somewhere to be?”
“We do,” I confirm. “And that means you need to be dressed properly.”
