For my brother to start up a relationship with her, there must be something there between them. Which means she’s going to be eating dinners with us. Sat across the table from me. Next to him. My fucking brother.
Clarity hits me and I choose not to go up to her apartment and have it out with her. Hear bullshit answers and watch bullshit tears fall from her eyes. I’m not going to do anything. Slamming my fist into the steering wheel, I scream out in frustration.
She could have gone with anyone!
Why my asshole brother?
I don’t taste mom’s lasagne, but I shovel it down staring at Jess. The only satisfaction I get nowadays is making her and my brother uncomfortable.

Lying in the darkness with Tor’s naked body against mine is the first time I’ve been able to relax since last night when I was last lying in the darkness with her naked body against mine. It doesn’t matter what I go through during the day as long as this is what I get come the night.
“When I leave on the next run, I’m going to leave King and the prospect here with you.”
“Before you say it, I’ll be careful, and I won’t make any unnecessary outings.”
I pull her on top of me, and she straddles me, leaning over to kiss my chest.
“Are we to expect regular visits from the cops?” she asks as I tangle my hand in her hair.
“It was the first and last time I let them in. No doubt they’ll be back but even if they come with a warrant, they’re not getting through our door.”
“Won’t that invite trouble you could do without?”
She presses her soft lips against my neck, and my dick has never been harder.
“I’m setting out how we’re seen right from the off. Soon enough they won’t want to come out this far.”
I roll on top of her and entwine my legs around hers.
“The brothers have been different today.”
Frowning, I ask, “You want to talk about those fuckers when I’m about to fuck you?”
“I’m tired as all Hell, after you work me over, I’ll be out for the count. I have to mention it now, or I’ll forget.”
I’m certain she’s not talking about being physically tired.
“I’ve given them something to focus on. Something that they can’t fuck up without severe consequences.”
“Your dad was right,” she purrs dragging her nails down my chest.
“Now we’re talking about my dad. What the fuck, babe?”
Her smile is teasing and my dick throbs. “I’m just saying, he was right about you. You were born to lead. You’re good at it.”
“We’ve only just begun, babe.” Grinning, I ask, “Are you ready for me?”
She bites down on her bottom lip and nods.
I thrust inside her and the rest of the day is forgotten.
“Who is he again?” I ask Maxwell.
“I used to go to school with him. He’s good. He’s done most of my work.”
