“Yeah,” I drawl. “It didn’t surprise me… But what was surprising was that the cameras weren’t recording, which means he was planning something with Juan. They went way over their thirty minutes. And then he blamed me for being late. Typical shit.”
“I know,” Juan snaps, bringing us both back to the security footage. “I just got off the phone with Ed, and now is the time... Yes. He wants me to strike, but he wants it done in a certain order—Yeah… Just like that. How did you know?”
Lory sighs, scooting further down in the bed. “So Senior wants us dead now, too.”
“Shocking, right?” I snark. “I can’t imagine why he would make that call.”
“This was your plan?”
I nod. “Who else would he ask to take us out? There’s no one else he trusts enough to get the job done.”
“This means we can kill Juan without making the first move.”
“Technically, I did make the first move, but yes. Juan will come after us both, or one of us at a time, which means we should stay together until then.”
Lory rolls onto his side, staring at me as he processes the ramifications of the information. “Kill Juan and take the compound.”
“We need it to stand a fighting chance against Estrada.”
“We’ve done fine.”
I purse my lips, half shrugging as I say, “Yeah, but we’re not hitting him head on. We’re sneaking in, fucking shit up, and retreating. We need a front line type of attack to rattle him again.”
“I can literally see the ideas leaking out of your ears.”
“Killing Juan and Senior will make Estrada think we’re unknowingly helping him out,” I explain. “Cleaning the board for him so he can get to us.”
“Which means?” Lory prompts.
“We need to find his manufacturing rings. Hitting the dens again will be a waste. We need to take the source away.”
He sighs heavily. “That’s a big commitment.”
“You’re not getting cold feet, are you?” I tease.
“No,” he replies, his tone serious. “It’s just difficult to stick to any sort of code—”
“There is no moral high ground anymore, Lory,” I tell him. “We’re the only ones holding on to the old rules. Everyone else has ditched them for a new, undisclosed set that they’re making up as they go. We have to maneuver the board with no game instructions.”
“So you’re making your own rules again?”
I smile. “Of course.”
“What are they?”
“There are none,” I whisper. “I’ve already told you... I’m taking what I want.”
I wake with a gasp, heat pressing into my back as an arm tightens against my neck. Lory shushes me, rubbing slow, light circles over my clit while he wrings the last of my orgasm from me. I struggle in his hold when the nerves become overstimulated.
He’s got me now. There is no freedom until he’s done with me.
Lory lifts my left leg, stretching it over his thigh to open me. The head of his cock prods against my entrance, but he doesn’t move further.
“Say yes,” he murmurs, tightening his hold around my neck.
My moan is barely a squeak, but he hears me when I tell him, “No.”
I feel him grin, his lips trailing across my jaw. He flexes his forearm, playing with my breath as he lazily pushes inside me, giving me just an inch.
