“Then let me go and I can leave you to your lonely, pathetic little life.”

My brow lifts.

“You wouldn’t want me to do that,” I state confidently.

“I beg to differ.” When I don’t respond she continues with, “Enlighten me.”

“It would be too easy if I just let you walk out the door. You’d feel like you’d failed.”

“No, I’m pretty sure I’d be delighted to be going home.”

“To start with, yeah. But then you’d realize that you crave the fight, the challenge. And you’d always know that you never gave everything up and didn’t get whatever it was you wanted that got you locked up here in the first place.”

“Or maybe I did,” she counters.

“JD might have a rep, but becoming our prisoner is a drastic way to get a taste of him.”

“I dunno,” she says, her eyes getting this far-off glazed look. “He was pretty spectacular.”

“That’s because aside from Kane, you’ve been forced to fuck old, beat-up gangsters whose dicks barely get hard.”

“You seem to know a lot about it. You one of them, Big Man?”

“Hardly.” I scoff. She’s felt just as well as I have that I have no issues getting hard. Hell, I’m battling a semi just sitting here sparring with her.

That’s something that’s never happened before. But there’s something about her mouth, her wit, her lack of fear that speaks to something within me that most women don’t get anywhere near.

Her eyes drop to my crotch as if she’s hoping to find the evidence for herself and I force myself to think of Hannah and Dad fucking.

Thankfully, it does the trick and my semi sinks faster than I thought possible under her stare.

“Honestly, a few could use a couple of lessons from JD. There’s this thing he does with his tongue that—”

“Your husband for one, right?”

“I can’t comment on his skills, but something tells me that he knows what he’s doing.”

“Sure. There are plenty of whores at the club who could probably confirm that. He wasn’t always the celibate prick he is now.”

“If you want anything from me, insulting my husband isn’t the way to go about it,” she warns.

“Help me understand then,” I urge. I’m way more curious about their relationship than I should be.

It’s wrong, but since she’s been here, all our lives have become so intertwined that I can’t help wanting to know everything.

I’ve already uncovered enough to know that there is a lot more going on than anyone knows. But this is so much bigger than Mav not being able to get it up or Alana not wanting it.

But as curious as I am, I’m also terrified because it’s bad. Worse than what I already know.

But I need it. Every dark and dirty secret that she’s hiding. She’s the catalyst. The one that is going to finally blow the top off everything I’ve been planning.

I’ve been waiting for the right trigger to knock my first domino over and watch as everything falls into place.

And she’s right in front of me.

I had no idea when Kane brought her to me that night that she’d play perfectly into my plans. She has no idea, and she still doesn’t. And until she uncovers everything, it’ll stay that way. Until I know I can trust her. Trust them. I’m going to keep them exactly where I want them—at an arm’s length.
