My eyes widen. They’re talking about my uncle. And did he just say?
“Scarlett, what are you doing?” I whisper to myself, but still, my feet take me toward the door they came out of. If anyone catches me, I’ll tell them I got lost. I need to know what is going on and what it has to do with my uncle.
Making sure no one is watching, I open the door. It doesn’t lead to a room but to a set of stairs going down.
God, this is a bad idea. A really, really bad idea.
Quickly, I move onto the first step and close the door behind me. Slowly, I creep down the stairs. When I reach the bottom, that’s when I hear it. A grunt and a sob followed by chuckling.
I’m about to turn and run back up the stairs as fear races through my body, but then I hear Emerson’s voice. “You hurt my wife. And now you will get what you deserve.”
Taking a few steps forward, I peek around the side to see Emerson and Alistair standing next to a bloody and beaten Tobin who’s tied to a chair.
My heart pounds in my chest. I know I told them I wanted Tobin dead—and I do—I just didn’t think they would really do it. Although, I’m not sure why I’m surprised, this is a big part of their jobs. I know my men are killers, it’s not something new.
“You're both fools.” He spits a wad of blood at Emerson’s foot. “All this over some stupid girl. Is she that good in bed?” Tobin chuckles. “You have me to thank for her being untouched. And this is how you repay me.”
My lips curl in disdain. Fucking asshole.
Tobin grunts as Emerson backhands him. “Don’t you fucking talk about my wife,” Emerson snarls, his whole body heaving.
Tobin gives him a bloody tooth grin. “Your wife is a joke. A little girl who will amount to nothing. I did what needed to be done, to keep this family on fucking top!” he screams. “No woman could have done that. Especially not some weak, pathetic girl like Scarlett. I should have sold her when I had the chance. At least she’d be doing the only thing she’s good for, being used like a whore.”
My mouth drops open. What the hell? Sell me? Like as in sex trafficking?
Just when I think Emerson is going to hit Tobin again, Alistair pulls out his gun and puts it to Tobin’s temple. “Wanna know a secret? You’re going to die down here. No one’s going to miss you, no one’s going to care. You took everything from my girl. And now I’m going to take everything from you. I can’t have you alive, I can’t risk you coming after her. So… any last words?”
Tobin is breathing heavily, blood dripping from his nose and from the corner of his mouth. He opens it to speak, but Alistair pulls the trigger before he can get a word out. The gunshot is loud, making me slam my hands over my ears. Tobin’s head flops to the side, mouth still parted, eyes still open.
Gasping, I stumble back, banging my arm against the wall as I do. Shit! Both of their attention snaps over to me.
Pulse racing, I stand there wide-eyed, waiting in shock for them to do something, say something.
“Little Star,” Emerson’s voice comes out deep and husky. “You’ve been a naughty girl. Didn’t Alistair tell you to stay put?”
“Y-yes,” I stutter, part fear, part arousal. I know he wouldn’t hurt me, not with me being pregnant with their baby. With the way he’s looking at me now though, I think he might eat me. And I just might like it.
CHAPTER 19
EMERSON
My sneaky little wife followed us to the basement and saw exactly what we’re capable of. While she’s aware of who she married, hearing it and seeing it are two different things. Scarlett just watched us take a life. A life that even she said needed to be taken, but I don’t think she expected to witness it.
“Come here, Little Star.” I crook my finger, and she shyly glides across the basement toward me. “What do you think I should do with a wife who doesn’t listen?”
“I don’t know,” she whispers, her eyes sparkling with both desire and a hint of fear. The feeling goes straight to my cock, and I harden under her stare.
As Alistair takes a step back, she becomes caught in the middle, sandwiched between the two of us. “I have a few ideas,” he murmurs, his voice filled with a hint of excitement.
Goosebumps form on her body, and I can't help but chuckle as a visible shiver runs down her spine.
“What are you thinking, Little Star? Are you scared? Now that you know our true nature, you have a clear understanding of who we are. Is that why you’re shivering? Scared of your men and what we’re capable of?” I push against her, desperate for her to feel the undeniable evidence of my arousal, aching for her.
Her lips part to answer, but instead, a soft, breathy moan escapes from her throat. Alistair's lips softly brush against her neck as his hand explores beneath her dress.
“Is Alistair touching my pussy?” I ask, kneading a perfect breast. “Are you wet for us? Wet watching us kill?”
“Absolutely, fucking soaked,” Alistair affirms with a nod. “I think our girl finds pleasure in witnessing our violence. Tell us, Scarlett, do you have a little darkness in you too?”
