“Brothers.” He comes around his desk and gives us each a man hug-shake. “Glad you all could make it out tonight.”
If I had stayed at Carnage, I’d be balls deep in Ashtyn’s mouth right now. I had to get out and get some fresh air. She’s everywhere there. I figured she would be, but I have to constantly fight the battle of choking her out and fucking her. It’s the hardest love-hate relationship I’ve ever had with anyone in my life.
“How are things?” Kashton asks him.
“Good,” he answers. “How about you guys?”
Haidyn just snorts. He’s in a mood like always. The guy just wants to fuck and kill. I get it. I feel like my hands have been tied ever since that bitch showed up in my hospital room and took any option I had to find Ashtyn away from me.
I was a fucking wildfire ready to destroy everything that came near me, knowing I was locked there and she was out in the world without me. I needed her in a way that I couldn’t even explain. It was more of a you belong to me than anything else.
Now that I have her again? I’m not sure what to do. My mind is a fucking mess, my cock constantly hard. She wandered out of her room today, but it didn’t take long for her to go running back. The place isn’t the same. She thought it was bad before, but it’s way worse now. She only has herself to thank for that. After we took over, we changed everything.
The door opens, getting my attention, and I turn around to see two other Lords enter the room. Sin and Ryat. We didn’t know them while attending Barrington because they’re four years younger than us. But we’ve become close to them over the past few months. They’ve spent quite a bit of their time up at Carnage lately. Sin more so than Ryat but for different reasons.
We’ve got something that Sin wants, and well, Ryat is close with Tyson—we have something he wants so he’s always there as well. It’s a cycle, really. Lords always scratch another Lord’s back. That is, until one wants you dead.
If you’ve got something I want, I’m more than willing to give you something in return. And I would have paid anything to get my wife back.
“What are you guys doing out tonight?” Ryat asks, plopping down on the couch.
“Came out to see the new place,” Kashton answers. “What about you two?”
“The wives are having a girls’ night at Tyson and Lake’s, so we thought we’d get out for a bit.” Sin is the one who responds, typing away on his cell.
Tyson gets my attention as he looks up at me. “I called in a favor.”
I arch a brow. The Lords owe him a lot for what they put him through. “What kind of favor?”
Pulling out his top desk drawer, he pulls out a manila envelope. “It’s for you.”
Picking it up, I open the envelope and see that it’s a report of some kind. I quickly scan it over and slam it down once I’ve seen enough.
“What is it?” Kashton asks, walking over to me.
I don’t answer, so he picks it up and reads over it. “Wait.” He frowns. “Are you saying that Luke is the one who called the hit on Adam?” he asks, looking up at Tyson for verification.
“Seems so.” He nods, falling into his seat. “Makes sense.” Tyson goes on. “He was the one working with Adam and Ashtyn’s mother.”
“Brenda was the only one killed that night…” Kashton trails off. “The only person who could have ratted him out was dead. He thought he was safe. Adam kept saying that he was being set up. Who else to do it other than your mother’s bastard child?”
“Maybe he thought Adam knew about him?” Sin offers.
He and Ryat don’t know everything about the Spade brothers, but they’ve had a pretty good crash course over the past few months. Especially Sin. We almost killed him. I’m sure he knows it was nothing personal. As a Lord, we all do what needs to be done. But I was setting him up. He’s just lucky it worked out as I wanted it to.
Kashton runs a hand down his face. “I just don’t see Adam running. Even if he did, where the fuck is he now?”
Adam did nothing wrong. He could walk into Carnage now, and his place would be ready for him.
“Does Ashtyn know about Luke?” Tyson asks.
I shake my head. “Doubtful. She never mentioned him back then. And we didn’t find out they were even related until recently.”
“Adam never mentioned it either. I’d say it was another secret that Brenda kept from everyone. If they can’t connect them, then they can’t both be blamed for raping and killing women,” Kashton adds.
Luke put Tyson through hell. And when Tyson was finally able to get ahold of him, he asked if he could keep him at Carnage. I was more than willing to do so. Considering if I knew where he was, then I knew where he wasn’t. My biggest fear when all of this came to light a few months ago, was that Luke had taken Ashtyn and sold her into sex trafficking. That was his MO. If he didn’t rape and ditch their bodies, he sold them for money. He had done it back when we attended Barrington but then the cops got onto him and after Brenda was killed, it stopped. For a little bit.
“I think Adam knew something was going on,” I say. “Maybe not specifically with Luke. But he knew his mother was involved in something.”
