Isaac raised a brow at him, then walked closer. Kai didn’t bother telling him not to. He knew Isaac well enough to know he wouldn’t do as he was told.
Isaac stopped a few feet from Kai and the stark contrast between the man’s dead eyes and the sparkling blue of Steel’s eyes had Kai sucking in a shaky breath.
“You used me, didn’t you?” Kai growled.
The slight pull on the corner of Isaac’s lips was answer enough for him.
“As you said; I don’t like getting my hands dirty.”
Kai clenched his jaw so tight he almost gave himself a headache.
“You gave me that job knowing I wouldn’t do it,” Kai said through gritted teeth. “You sent Briggs to the hotel, too.”
“I did. It worked out even better than I imagined. How long was he there before you pulled the trigger?”
“Why? Why me? You could’ve thrown anyone under the bus, but you chose me. Of everyone.”
The hurt was clear in his voice, and he hated that he was being emotional in front of Isaac.
Isaac lifted his hand as he moved closer, but Kai jerked backward.
“Don’t touch me,” he snapped.
Isaac dropped his hand and cocked his head to the side as he studied Kai intently.
“That ended years ago,” Kai said. “And even if it hadn’t, it would’ve ended the second you decided to use me as a pawn in your sick game.”
“Too bad,” Isaac said, though Kai doubted he really meant it.
In the beginning, he’d convinced himself that Isaac cared. It had never been love between them. Never. But he’d thought there’d been something, anything, that tied them together emotionally, but Isaac had no feelings. He was cold. He could’ve been a vampire with how fucking dead he was inside.
Even when he’d broken it off between them, he’d stayed.
“This is what loyalty got me, huh?”
“Ah, yes. Mr.-I’ll-only-stay-if-you-agree-to-these-insane-conditions. So loyal.”
“Is that what you’re pissed about? That I’m not as cold-blooded as you?”
Isaac crossed his arms, his brow furrowing the slightest bit. “You grew a conscience, Kai. That’s bad for business. I just killed two birds with one stone.”
A loud beeping had Kai jerking, his teeth clashing together while his heart skipped a beat. Fucking hell.
Isaac pulled a phone out of his back pocket and the sinister smile that spread on his face didn’t bode well for Kai.
“Looks like I’m about to kill more birdies.”
Isaac turned his phone around for Kai to see. It was a video looking down on a living room he knew well. His.
Two men appeared on the video and his heart lurched painfully.
Steel. Nic.
The two people he cared about the most.
“Maybe you’ll get there in time to watch them bleed out.”
He snapped his gaze back onto Isaac and snapped, “Call it off.”
