“Oh, whatever. You failed in your little plan to seduce me and then completely blindside me.”
“History always repeats. Just remember, I have no limits, Skyla. And no fucks left to give. So unless you want me to share the footage of that very questionable choice you made, you’re gonna play by my rules and be my pretty little puppet.” He tilts my chin upward. “I’m gonna have a hell of a lot of fun pulling the strings, too.”
Chapter10

Iclimb the steps to Nik’s house with my arm tight around my bride-to-be. She winces every few steps. Once we get to the top step, Skyla turns to look at me, her eyes flooding with contempt.
“Get your goddamn meat hook off me, scumbag. This is never going to happen, no matter what you think in that maniacal brain of yours.”
Scoffing, I grip her tighter. “You never complained about having my meat anywhere near you. Don’t waste your breath pretending to be so offended by what I just did to you in the car, either.”
I love the look of shock that splashes across her face. But more than that, I love that I can still make her speechless. Little Miss Know It All always had an answer for everything and everyone… except me. Knowing I still have that control makes my dick hard, especially since it’s the only control I have over anything these days.
Four years ago, I had it all.
Now, I have four bosses to answer to—my older brothers.
I make plenty of cash, but who the fuck cares about money when you’re constantly a fucking peon doing all the crappy jobs without getting any of the power?
Me kidnapping Skyla made the most sense to my brothers because I always get the shit end of the stick. I’m the youngest brother, and Luka and Nik say it’s because I have to earn my place. I say it’s because they don’t want to get their hands dirty.
But fuck that. I’m changing the game. Making my own rules.
Nik opens the door before I can knock. He rolls his eyes and steps back so we can walk inside the foyer. “You couldn’t manage to get her out of there without getting shot?”
“The guy was a suck-ass shot. What the hell am I supposed to do about that?”
Skyla uses her good hand to keep her robe pulled tight. Bright-pink spots pop into her cheeks as she glowers at me. “You’re an animal. And wipe that smug smile off your face because that is most definitely not a compliment.”
“Doc, take her into the back bedroom. It’s all set up for you.” Nik rubs the back of his neck as the doctor guides Skyla to the back of the house. She turns and flips me off before disappearing around the corner.
“Come into my office,” Nik grunts.
Nik’s fiancée, Kenzie, gives me a wave and watches us walk into a room off the foyer. “Good luck, Z.”
I wink at her. “I’m all outta that. Gotta use my charm this time.”
“There’s not enough of that on the planet to help you.” Nik shoves me inside and closes the door before rounding his desk and dropping into a chair. “Tell me what the hell happened. How the hell did she get shot?”
“I don’t know. Someone must’ve been tracking me.”
“How the hell could you let that happen? You were supposed to get in and out with her. Why can’t you ever just do what you’re supposed to do? Why is there always a problem or a complication or a fucking issue?”
“Look, the guy barged into the bridal suite. Knew me by name. I’d bet my left nut that Tyson had the guy staking out the suite, just waiting for me to show up since he knows his kill order backfired last night. I made sure he was dead before we left. Luckily, we escaped before anyone saw us leave.” I drop my eyes to the floor and trace the edges of the tile with the toe of my shoe.
“So nobody saw you?” He stands up from his chair, his dark eyebrows knitted together like he doesn’t believe me.
I shift in my spot against the wall. I always hated sitting in the chairs in Nik’s office because he purposely bought ones that are low to the ground so he’s always taller than anyone around him.
And right now, I need all the height I can get.
“Kylian may have seen us.”
“Fuck.”
“But I don’t know yet if it’s a problem.”
