Frost agrees with a nod. “I'm thinking the same thing.”
“I really don’t know,” Razor admits. “I’ll keep it for now and think on it.”
Trikk sighs. “I can’t quite part with it, to be honest. Maybe I’ll turn it into a safe second house for us.”
“I’m going to get Purge,” I excuse myself, jogging back up the stairs to his room.
Knocking, I let myself in. He looks tired.
“Hey, love, come have breakfast with us.”
Purge looks up from the screen. “Yeah, food and coffee sound good. I've found our first target. I've been luring him in, and he’s fallen for it. We'll be collecting him tonight.”
I clap my hands in excitement. “Tell us the details downstairs.”
Purge shuts down the screen and follows me to the kitchen.
“We were talking about what to do with our estates,” Synn fills him in.
Grabbing himself coffee and food, Purge answers, “No clue. Maybe donate it for low-income people, or something.”
I smile. “I love that idea.”
Purge looks around the table, eyes landing on Ghost. “I’ve found our first victim.” He jiggles his brows, making me giggle. “The guy is a hardcore pedophile. He rapes little boys, agesthirteen and under. Plus, he beats his wife. His own son, who is only two, is one of his victims.”
I see red, jumping up, grinding my teeth. “He dies tonight. Painfully and slowly.”
Purge and Ghost both nod vigorously.
“He thinks he’s meeting up with a thirteen-year-old boy, at nine p.m. It was hard getting him to commit.” Purge gets red in the face as he continues. “Ghost, dress young, and have your hood up. You'll pass long enough for us to grab him.”
“I’m happy to be bait. Motherfucker. I feel my demon stirring,” Ghost answers.
“We’re meeting him behind the mall, after it’s closed for the night. I had to pretend the kid is sneaking out. We'll have rope, zip-ties, and chloroform with us.”
I raise my hand. “You have chloroform on hand?”
My guys all crack up. “Of course. We have our hands on a lot of shit,” Synn says.
Hunter doesn’t look too happy at all. I get up and go to him, sitting in his lap.
“You’re okay with this? It's going to be a regular thing. We need to be able to sate our demons, while ridding the world of parasites.”
Hunter sighs loudly. “No, I’m not okay with it. I understand, though, and won’t stand in your way. Please promise me you’ll be careful. Pull out if you get any red flags.”
“Absolutely. We have this. Don't worry so much.” I lean in for a long, passionate kiss.
Hunter stands so quickly, the plates clatter. He lifts me with him, shoving me back against the wall, wrapping his hand around my throat.
Uh-oh. My eyes flit to the others, who don’t look like they’re going to interfere.
Hunter growls; licking the side of my face. Holy hotness.
He shoves my pants down, shoving his hand between my legs. “So wet for me,” he says, low and deep.
Squirming, I say breathlessly, “Yes, Sir, Daddy... fuck...”
I hear Trikk laugh but have eyes for my sexy therapist only.
