I stare at him like he’s a scumbag. “I am, actually. But I’ll be even happier when that money comes through. You try anythin’ and I’m not gonna be so nice on my next visit.”
Not that she’d want for anything with me, but it’s the principal.
I go to stand, and fuck it, I punch him in the face because I can’t stand to look at him anymore or listen to any more drivel that comes out of his mouth.
He balks, grabbing his face as blood spurts out of his nose. I’ve been dying to break that since the minute I laid eyes on him.
“Oh, and if you’re gonna try to make a case against Brian to the board to explain the money, that’d be a good start, but are you also gonna also be able to explain to them how you lostmultiple million-dollar contracts in the process?” I give him a sadistic smile.
Folks don’t seem to like it when I smile, and I’m not sure why. Maybe because it’s not exactly friendly. That and the fact I’ve made him bleed twice and I’m just warming up.
He looks confused. “What are you talking about?”
I straighten my cut once more. “You’re forgettin’ who you’re dealin’ with,” I say. “I used to play ball, asshole. I’m tight with a dozen management councils who work for the NFL and deal with personal insurance policies. Pity that you just lost one of the biggest multi-million-dollar contracts for the Saints and the Steelers. Guess it sucks to be you.”
Yeah, I made a few phone calls. It seems as if Luna might have to start thinking about a new line of business. I’m sure her and Jas can handle it, or they can call in a specialist to run things and it can be another form of income for the club. What’s important is this asshole pays. And the only way to make him do that is to hit him in his designer pockets.
His jaw drops to the floor as I turn to face Rock and Nevada. I’ve never heard Nevada be quiet for so long—that’s gotta be a first.
“You… You can’t do this!”
I roll my eyes. “You keep sayin’ that, asshole, but the fact is, I can and I did.”
“But…I’ll be ruined! The NFL is our biggest?—”
“You think I give a fuck?” I roar, making him jump backward. Not even his bloody face gives me satisfaction anymore.
He sags back in his seat, defeat written all over his face. Good. I hope he suffers, just like Luna has had to endure all of his shit over the years.
“I… I…”
I wave my hand in his direction. He’s so fuckin’ pathetic he can’t even string a sentence together.
“Fuck him up,” I say, giving them a chin lift. “But don’t take too long. Bein’ around all these suits is givin’ me hives.”
My work here is done.

LUNA
We both knewthis day was coming.
We have to face our parents.
Now as we sit here, feeling like we’re teenagers again with our hands caught in the cookie jar, it seems a lot harder than I first imagined.
Telling your parents, who've been together for more than ten years, that both their kids are in love and will be together forever will undoubtedly be a shocking revelation.
I’ve no idea how they’ll react, but the bets going around the clubhouse aren’t good.
Tag filled everyone at the club in on the circulating rumors about us. I have to admit; he did a pretty good job of keeping the fact we’re step-siblings a secret, mostly. But now that it’s out, he hasn’t stopped copping shit for it.
Nevada is sporting a nice black eye because, like always, he took it one step too far.
We sit on the couch as mom smiles across at us.
“Is Terrance coming?” I say, looking around. “This involves him too.”
