“Oh yeah? And what do you get in return?”
“What else? The girl. Ryan Lewis’ sister.”
“She’s worth over two million,” I growl.
“So we’re haggling. How much?”
I laugh darkly. Not for all the goddamn money in the world. My hands tighten into fists as I imagine crushing his neck.
“More than you can pay. It’s time for you to go, Randall.”
“The next time we meet, it won’t be so pleasant. You should seriously think about my offer.”
“I will think about it,” I say, looking at him meaningfully. “Don’t do anything stupid before we talk again.”
I toss that out there just in case he’s gullible enough to believe I’d give him Kay. He doesn’t know about the hunger inside me, the burning, roaring, never-ending need, but hedoesknow that she’s my best friend’s sister. He knows she’s protected by Titan’s MC. He knows that any Titan worth his salt would never sacrifice the princess.
Randall grins and turns away. “I’ll be seeing you, Kai.”
I watch him go, standing near my bike, ready to duck behind it if the asshole suddenly pulls a piece. Many people are in the motel parking lot, a family checking in and a couple walking toward their vehicle. He knows better than to start anything here.
Once he’s climbed into his car, I turn and hurry into the motel room. I knock on the adjoining door.
When she opens it, I almost forget about the asshole and his threats. She’s wearing a baggy gray T-shirt and sweatpants. It’s not as though it’s some purposefully sexy outfit, but she’s not wearing a bra, her nipples poking through the material. My head is already a haze of violence. This adds another component. Pure heat. Pure possession.
“Is everything okay?” she asks, looking cutely up at me.
I swallow, trying to think of Ryan, trying to think of duty. “This place is a shithole,” I growl, not having to fake the anger. It’s aimed at myself for these feelings flurrying through me.
“Really?” she asks. “It seems okay to me.”
I shake my head, hating that I have to lie to her, but it’s not as if there’s anything new there. “There was a rat in my room, and I found mold. Ryan wouldn’t forgive me if I let you stay here. We’re moving.”
“Arat?” she says, eyes widening.
It’d be so good to sweep her into a hug right now, kiss the top of her head, and inhale her scent. Then I’d tell her,“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of you. Remember those stories? Remember how the prince always saved the princess? I can be that for you.”
That’s just so, so wrong. It’s another reminder of our age gap, and how messed up I must be for wanting this so badly.
“Yeah,” I say, purposefully not looking her in the eye.
“Oh, well, my room is okay. Where’s the mold?”
“I’m tired,” I grunt. “Let’s not get into a debate about it. Get changed, pack up, then we’re leaving.”
She arches her back slightly. Oh, hell. Is she doing that on purpose? It draws attention to her nipples poking through her T-shirt, the shape of them causing my dick to push against the inside of my pants. “Why do I have to get changed?”
I swallow and clench my hands into fists. It would be effortless, sorightto reach up and gently play with her nipples through her shirt. “It’s a cool evening,” I snap. “Put a jacket on, at least.”
Ican’ttell her that if another man saw her nipples looking so full and needy, I wouldn’t be able to control myself. I’d go full Titan on him. I’d beat him bloody, unable to stop, even if I knew it was wrong. Even if I knew he didn’t deserve it. Hell, who could resist a look at this curvy, perfect woman? I’d still do it. She’s mine. I’m howling in my mind, just like at the cemetery. She’smine.
Maybe she senses some of the fire in me. She nods and takes a step back. “Okay, Kai.”
“Good,” I grunt. “Hurry up.”
“You don’t have to be so rude,” she snaps as I turn away.
She’s right. I almost turn back and apologize, but it’s better for both of us if I keep this shield of coldness up.
