“Oh shit! I’m kiddin’ kid. Fuck… sorry. I’m not gonna kill ya. I promise,” Reaper backtracks.
Novah giggles as Nash swallows hard, slowly picking his cell up from the car’s floor.
I reach back and grip his thigh. “He’s kidding, darling.”
“Yeah…realfucking funny.”
“I thought it was hilarious,” Novah mocks.
“All right, all right, enough, kids. We’re here. I need you guys to behave yourselves. Can you do that?” Reaper demands as we pull up to a set of lavish gates after a short drive.
Nash nods his head, but he’s still sporting a terrified look while Novah smiles wide. “I always behave.”
I snort out a laugh. “Who are we meeting?” I need to be as prepared as I can be.
“This is my best friend’s home. I’ve known Angus for years. We go waaay back to when I was in the music biz, before the club.”
Raising my brow, I turn back to look at the kids. “Don’t touch…anything!”
“I’m not five,Mom.” Novah groans as she steps out of the car, Nash following her.
I turn to Reaper and shake my head. “Youhadto scare the shit out of him, didn’t you?”
He shrugs. “It’ll toughen him up.”
“Nash won’t join Defiance. He’s too set in his ways. He wants to prove to Harry he can be like him, or should I say bebetterthan him.”
“Fuck Harry. Your ex is a dick. And the sooner Nash realizes it, the better he’ll be.”
Can’t argue with that logic.
“Yeah, I know… okay, so, Angus?” I ask, making sure I have his friend’s name right.
“And his wife is Lucia. I’m not sure if the kids will be home or not, but they’re around the same age as Novah and Nash, so if they are, they can hang out, or play, or whatever the fuck it is that kids do.”
I snort out a laugh. “They’re teenagers, darling. They donotplay.”
“Then they can go smoke some pot or whatever.”
“Jesus…” I let out a laugh, grabbing hold of the car door handle to open it. “C’mon, let’s go.”
We head for the double front door of the two-story mansion. As we walk up the stairs, I feel completely out of place. Whoever this Angus guy is, he’s stinking rich, but before we even make it to the fancy double doors, they spring back with gusto to a tiny little woman with a bright smile.
“You’re here!They’re here!”she yells the second part like she’s trying to gain someone’s attention as she rushes out the doors straight for me. Her small arms are wide as she wraps them around me in the tightest of hugs, contrary to her tiny frame.
My eyes bug out of my face as I gasp. “Oh… hi there,” I reply to the excitable woman.
All the while, Reaper is chuckling.
“Fuck, Lucia! Calm your tits,” he states, pulling her off me.
“But she’s real!” She giggles and moves in, giving Reaper a friendly cuddle.
“Of course, she’s real. I sent y’all photos.”
Lucia shoves him playfully. “They could have been fake. I mean, she’s pretty as all get out. How did you pull such a thing of beauty, huh?Angus! I said they’re here!”she yells again so quickly I hardly have time to process.
Nash lets out a small snort.
