My sister came to my side and wiped my cheeks."We don't need him at the wedding.It'll be better without him, honestly, because he was driving the wedding planner up the wall."
His smile was soft."Look out for her for me, would you, Morgan?"
Morgan rolled her eyes."I was looking out for her long before you were."
"I know.But add on a little extra for me."
"I can't believe you're leaving,” I said.
Lance reached out and smoothed a tear off my cheek with his thumb."It's not like you’re never going to see me again.Anytime you need me, I'll be right here, okay?"
And then while my heart was breaking in two, I wondered why on earth my husband-to-be hadn't shared this tidbit of news.
Chapter35
Atticus
Wasit bad that I'd made sure Gwen had an alibi tonight?Maybe.Hell, Lance too.I may not have wanted him sniffing around Gwen, but he'd kept her safe when I couldn't.So I felt like I owed him.
Next to me, Gavin inclined his head at the dance floor.Bronson had strolled in with a pair of leggy blondes.When he took them to the bar, they were giggling as he ordered them drinks.In my earpiece, Micah's voice was low."What are we doing with the girls?"
Gavin's voice was terse."I’ll handle them."
Pierce just watched me."Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Yeah, I need to take him off the board."
"We can make it cleaner.Hire a specialist."
"No,” I said firmly.“I need to do this one myself."
He sighed."Right.Have it your way."
My brother, it seemed, had the best sleight of hand.When he joined Gavin at the bar, he accidentally bumped Bronson.During that quick exchange, he spiked Bronson's drink.It happened so quickly.If I hadn't been looking, I never would have seen it.Just a little reach, and there it was.
My brother, as it turned out, was terrifying.
I suddenly wondered about that boyfriend his mom had several years ago.The asshole died of a heart attack.Granted, he'd been knocking around Micah's mother, and then he'd started on Micah eventually.Two months after they met, ‘the old geezer had a heart attack,’ as Micah liked to say it.
Pierce sat back."And now we watch."
Gavin was already on the dance floor with the blondes as Bronson started to nod off in the booth.
"Let's go scope him out."
The girls were so happy with Gavin they didn't notice that Micah, Pierce, and I had taken their date out the back door.
The bouncer was one of Pierce's guys, and he nodded as we carried Bronson out the back where there were no security cameras and shoved him in the back of the car.We drove around the corner, and five minutes later, Gavin joined us and climbed in.
"That was almost too easy.Good thing this isn't a habit of ours," I muttered.
An hour later, at a warehouse in Long Island, I sat back on the table as Pierce shook Bronson repeatedly to wake him up.His head lolled back, and he blinked rapidly and said,"Son of a bitch."
Itskedand shook my head."His mother is not a bitch.She's lovely."
Pierce just grinned at me."Thanks.She adores you too."
Bronson's head snapped to alertness.Then he realized his hands were secured."What the fuck?"
