I hadn’t considered Pablo would consider her relationship with Mia. Jesus, this is way worse than I thought. I know this man. I’ve been studying him and his motivations for years.

Izzy just went up in value.

I release her arm and widen my stance, feeling the Glock press into the back of the jeans I changed into earlier. I have two knives strapped to my lower legs and wish like hell I’d put my holster over my black T-shirt.

“Yes. I just want to go home,” Isabelle says shakily. “I’m happy to find my own way if you just let me go. I won’t talk or tell anyone. Or my family can pay.”

Her eyes dart to me.

I smirk at her pleading, then grin back at Pablo. He puffs out a smokey laugh at my response.

“Ah,bonita,I’m sure you will leave here soon, and my bank account will be fatter for it. Until then, we will have some fun. Dex wants to claim you, although he knows the rules.”

Fucker.

Isabelle begins to tremble, and I force myself to stay put.

“You mean, he can’t?” she asks, hope lacing her voice.

I force back my curse.

Stop fucking talking, Isabelle.

He'll take her if she’s not careful, wholly ruining my shitty plan. And so will her life.

“I am the boss. He does not have permission,” Pablo says, then nods at Jose.

I stiffen before I can stop myself, and they all notice.

Pablo barks out a laugh, but I see the question in his eyes. Which also means I’ve lost a sliver of valuable trust.

Damn it.

“Hombre, step aside, or I will take your toy from you completely. You think she would like to spend her first evening with me?” Pablo licks his dry lips.

Try it, and I will kill you.

Jose and Diego stare hungrily at Isabelle, and I fight every instinct in my body and calm my shoulders. Then I move an inch away from her.

Think, Decker, think.

“Me next,” Diego says, crossing his thick arms and nodding as his eyes roll over Isabelle. “I’d fuck that.”

“No. Ring my father. Please.” She pleads.

Jose laughs as Pablo nods at someone behind us. I turn as Miguel presses a chair against the back of Isabelle’s knees. She drops into it and lets out a cry.

When her eyes flash to me, every muscle in my body reacts to the fear in her blue globes.

Take care of everyone, Decker.

Not now, Dad. I’m trying to stay the fuck alive.

And to do that, I can’t be Decker Adams. I’m Dex Lockwood, and I’ll do whatever it takes to make sure Isabelle survives.

I feign boredom for a moment, then sigh.

“Boss, let me have this one. When do I ever ask for one of the girls?” I wave out my hand as if it’s no big deal and grip my cock. “She’s hot for me. Come on. It’s been a long couple of days.”
