“There was someone scoping out my property today,” Alessandro says.

Declan frowns. “Russians?”

The Italian boss shrugs. “They know we helped you out. It’s possible we’re in their sights as well. The Irish and the Italians own seventy percent of the territory in the US.”

“Jesus. These fucking assholes.” I shake my head.

This situation needs to come to an end quickly. Andrei needs to get his organization under control before we really are forced to start a war.

“Let’s go find out what Andrei has for us,” Declan says.

We head toward the warehouse, a dozen men following us—ours and Alessandro’s.

As soon as we walk in, it’s obvious this isn’t any kind of ambush. The large Russian man with his arms bound by chains hanging from the ceiling tells us Andrei is making good on his promise. Even though I don’t know him, I respect him already.

“Gentlemen,” Andrei says, then nods toward the man in the center of the warehouse. He looks both tired and pissed. “I have a gift for you.”

We shake hands with him and several other syndicate leaders. Declan stalks over to the restrained man and grabs him by the throat.

“Who is behind this?” he growls.

The guy starts coughing and sputtering as he tries to breathe through the hold my boss has on him. We avoid torture techniques as much as possible, but we don’t shy away from it when it’s needed. And right now, we’ll do whatever it takes to make sure our girls are out of danger.

I pull my phone from my suit pocket and open the camera app to check on Scarlet. My heart squeezes in my chest when I see her curled up on the bed with her tablet. She has the stuffed dragon held tightly in her arms. She’s so beautiful. I could sit back and watch her all night. She’s easily becoming an addiction. One I don’t want to go to rehab for. I watch her for a few seconds before I put my phone away so I can focus. It’s time to get the information we need so we can put an end to this.

I flexmy hand as I examine my bloody knuckles. Declan and I are both seething as we head back toward the airfield. The bastard wouldn’t give us any information other than promising us we’d pay for killing his leader. His loyalty is admirable. Too bad it’s to someone who doesn’t deserve it.

The one good thing that transpired tonight is that Andrei has earned our trust. Well, as much trust as we’re willing to give to another syndicate.

It’s been over an hour since I checked the nanny camera, and it feels like I’m getting hives. Is this how Declan felt when he first met Cali? Maybe I was too hard on him. I get it now.

As soon as I open the app, I nearly drop my phone. Jesus. I turn the screen at an angle so my best friend can’t see what I’m seeing.

Scarlet stands directly in front of the camera near the bed with her back turned. She’s topless. My cock hardens. I can’t even see her tits and I’m practically panting. I watch in stunned silence as she hooks her thumbs into the waistband of her leggings and tugs them down, leaving her in just a pair of the most adorable bikini panties I’ve ever seen.

Keeping the app open, I pull up my messages.

Killian: Little girl, what do you think you’re doing?

She picks up her phone and reads my message. A second later, she glances over her shoulder with a mischievous smile. The brat is playing with me. And fuck, I love it.

Scarlet: I’m not sure what you mean.

Killian: You know exactly what I mean. Are you teasing me?

Scarlet: Teasing? I wouldn’t do something like that. Now torture, that might be something I’d do.

God, I can’t wait to spank her perfect little ass. She’s going to be a handful, I already know it, and I absolutely love it.

Killian: Turn around, baby.

I’m surprised when she obeys, though her arm is covering her breasts, and I practically groan out loud.

“Dude, can you stop making those fucking noises? And quit fucking grabbing your dick,” Declan barks.

Shit. I forgot I wasn’t in the car alone. I also didn’t realize I was pressing the palm of my free hand against my cock.
