I sniffed. “The only reason I acted was because he didn’t fear my boss.”
He winked. “Uh-huh, sure. It was also luck I’d been on my way for a chat with this fuckface.” He turned to Ross and fired. Ross bellowed as blood pooled over his upper arm.
“Guns down,” one of Link’s men ordered loudly.
Link scowled at Ross and bit out, “I didn’t like the way you looked at Ryo.”
“Dear God,” I muttered.
Wolf snorted.
“And I really don’t like your fuckin’ attitude, Ross. The way I see it, I can either delete you from my world, or you can continue playing your small role bymylaws and live to see your family again. What do you say?”
“Your rules,” he said, wincing.
Link laughed. “I thought so. The cameras stay. I’ll be keeping a closer eye on you and your people. Better be a good boy from now on, or I’ll allow my man to cut off more than your fingers.”
“I am not your man,” I told him with a glare.
“You will be, snook.”
Did he not care who was around?
I wasn’t sure if I liked that about him or not.
Not. No, I didn’t like it because it sent my blood pressure sky-high.
This man spun my world out of control, and I felt my cheeks heating.
I looked to Wolf. “Are we done?”
Wolf nodded and stood. “Also know this, Ross. If you come near me or mine, you will suffer in more ways than you can imagine.” Wolf strode toward the door, making Link’s men move out of the way.
I followed, but it wasn’t until we were outside and I’d removed my weapon to place it back in the trunk that I realised Link was there waiting by the car door.
After Wolf climbed into the vehicle, I shut the door and turned to the bouncing man behind me.
He grinned. “Can I kiss you today?”
“No.”
His grin widened. “Are you busy tonight for dinner?”
“Yes.”
The window on the car wound down. “Ruin and I are staying in tonight, and I’ll have the other guards there. You’re free to do what you wish.”
I scowled down at Wolf. “I wish to work.”
“And I wish for you to cut back your hours. You work too hard,” Wolf said.
“We’ll speak about that later in the office.” Meaning I wished for him to keep his mouth shut, and if he wasn’t understanding that from my glare, then we were going to have a problem.
“So,” Link drew out, “dinner?”
“No.” I gripped the door handle and went to open it, but Wolf hit the lock button. “Wolf,” I warned.
“Link, would you like to have dinner tonight with Ryo, Ruin, and me?”
