“Just saying this isn’t a good idea,” Aries grumbles, coming up to stand beside me.
“Brother, you know he ain’t gonna back down from this. Not after all that we’ve found out during church.” Wolf snorts, coming to stand on my other side. “How about we just get in there and see what happens?”
“If guns are pulled, I’m going to shoot back,” Falcon remarks, a sly grin pulling at his lips. The bastard is always a little too trigger-happy. Hell, his name should’ve been Trigger rather than Falcon, considering he’s one hell of a shot. But they called him Falcon for his sharp instinct and eyes. It’s like he sees shit we don’t see right away.
“That happens, feel free to shoot to kill.” I shrug and start for the doors, eyes on the men standing in front of them.
“We’re closed,” the beefier one declares when we’re in hearing distance.
“I want to meet with Dominic. Let ’em know Kevlar’s here to see him,” I command. I’m not about to let this bastard think I’ll simply walk away. Not until he and I speak.
The smaller dickhead pulls a phone out and makes the call, both still glaring at the lot of us, trying to look intimating which they’re nothing more than some steroid junkies who need to lay off stimulants. Getting off the phone, he nods while putting the cell back in his pocket. “He says to send you in.”
“Smart move,” Dutch mutters, right behind me.
I make a grunting noise in the back of my throat and make my way past the two men and into the building. There are a few other men just inside, waiting for the five of us. Without a word, they show us toward Dominic’s office.
My eyes lock with the other man’s the instant I pass the threshold.
“Where’s my property?” Dominic demands, eyes watching me assessingly.
“Safe away from you.” I shrug, not giving in to this bastard.
“Then what may I ask you is your reasoning for being here?” Dominic cocks a brow and crosses his arms.
“Got a deal for you.” I step closer, my brothers all coming in behind me.
“And what would that deal be?”
“You want Rosemary to finish the fights to earn her freedom. You know I’m not about to let you have my woman. Rosemary is mine, and I’ll be damned if she’ll do something that’s going to hurt her again.”
“Then I’ll simply have to kill you all and take her,” he states, waving a hand nonchalantly.
“You didn’t let me finish,” I grunt, sliding my hands in the pockets of my cut giving the appearance that his threat doesn’t bother me.
“Well then, by all means, finish.”
Someone needs to gut this smug bastard.
“Rosemary fought six fights and won so far. She’s got fourteen more to go before you allow her freedom. What we’re offering you is fourteen fights. One night and fourteen club members will fight.”
Dominic bursts out laughing. “Oh, this is good.” He chuckles. “You want to take the rest of her fights? Do you all realize these fights are death matches? You will all have to fight until you kill or be killed?”
“We’re aware of what a death match is,” I grind out, wishing I could simply kill the fucker. “However, there’s one stipulation to the matches.”
“Oh no.” Dominic loses the grin and narrows his gaze. “That’s not how this works. You see, if I agree to this, then I’ll need a little assurance that you all won’t back out of the deal.”
“You didn’t let me finish with my stipulation,” I counter.
“Not how it’s going to work.” Dominic sneers. “You want to take the fights, then so be it, but until the night of the fights, you stay here. Then, the night of them, I want Rosemary here. She’ll watch what your little club is doing for her. The first man from your club who dies will end the deal, and Rosemary leaves with me. If you beat me, then she’ll be free to leave.”
“Fine, you have a deal, but my match will be against you,” I declare, not even worrying about the fact he’s demanding I stay here until the night of the fights. Long as, in the end, Rosemary will be free of this fucker then so fucking be it.
Dominic levels a glare on me a moment before he smirks sadistically. “Fine, you want to fight me. Then we’ll fight. Make it the main event of the evening.”
“I’ll look forward to beating your ass.” I sneer.
“The fight is in roughly two weeks. Give or take a few days. Until then, you will stay and train here.” Dominic cackles. “The rest of you will show up at four in the afternoon, prepared to fight those we line you up with.”
