The beatdown that Mecca deserved was happening right in front of me, and I was here for it. His ass didn’t deserve to get off easy. He deserved to be reminded of his bullshit.
I lifted my head slightly, my insides tingling from the roar in Ocean’s voice as he talked shit while delivering blow after blow to Mecca’s face.
My pussy throbbed, and again I was reminded of why I was so infatuated with this man. He was a force of nature, and I loved seeing him use his strength. Especially when I knew it was because of me. I guess I was toxic like that.
Barely able to speak, Mecca looked at me with pleading eyes. Well,onepleading eye. The other was already swelling and closing up.
I knew why he was staring, and as promised, I was going to keep my word.
Sighing, I rolled my eyes. “Ocean, it wasn’t him who kidnapped me.”
With one hand gripping Mecca’s shirt and the other midair with his pistol, Ocean paused. “What?”
“He wasn’t the one who kidnapped me. It was Enzo.”
“Nah, bullshit! They were in on it together.” He hit Mecca again.
“No,” Mecca whined. “I swear to you, I didn’t know shit about it.” Blood seeped from the side of his mouth, adding to the puddle that had formed on the pavement. “I...I just showed up to his crib and Skye was there. He thought he was helping me out or some shit. I didn’t tell him to take her.”
Shade’s Range Rover sped into the parking lot near us, and Nyx jumped out.
She raced toward me, her arms wide. “Oh my God, Skye. Are you okay?”
I wrapped my arms around her, grateful that she somehow knew exactly where to find me. “Yeah, I’m good.”
“Damn,” Shade said while looking at Mecca and shaking his head. “You just insist on learning shit the hard way, huh?”
“Apparently so,” Trace chimed in.
“Yo, like I already told your brother?—”
“Shut the fuck up!” Ocean hit him again, then looked back at Trace and Shade. “He said this was all Enzo.”
“Enzo?” Shade jerked his head back. “Why the fuck would he?—”
“I don’t know, and I don’t fucking care. That nigga got a toe tag with his name on it.”
“Let’s go upstairs,” Nyx said, grabbing my hand and pulling me away. “I don’t need to know about them killing anyone else.”
“Anyone else?” I asked. “Who?—”
“I’ll tell you later.”
I was disturbed by her response, but I was sure I would get to the bottom of it later.
“Oh, hold up.” I turned back around and walked over to where Ocean had Mecca pinned to the ground. I stared for a moment, then smiled. “I guess I forgive you.”
Mecca sighed.
I didn’t care if it was relief or annoyance. I was just thankful to get the satisfaction I wanted, and if I wasn’t on some me, myself, and I shit, I would show Ocean just how thankful I was. But fucking him now was even more dangerous than it was before.
“Let’s go!” Nyx yanked me back toward her. “Tell me what the hell happened and don’t leave anything out.”

“Wow, that was some crazy shit. So Enzo was the one who kidnapped you?”
