“Oh my God!” Will shouted with tears in his eyes.
I turned to him and saw he was watching the screen, as if he had seen a ghost. I snapped my head back at the television to see why he reacted that way. They were now showing a picture of the victim of the attack.
“What is it, Will?” I asked him.
He shook his head with his hand over his mouth. “I know him. He’s a regular at one of the gay clubs I always go to.”
“Well, there goes the motive,”Cara growled. I forgot I had her on the phone.
“But how the hell would Sire know he was gay?” I started pacing the floor.
“Maybe he watched him like he did me,” Will suggested.
I swayed my head from side to side. “True. But what the fuck does SW stand for? He’s never said that to me.”
It was silent for a moment before Cara spoke up. “I’m willing to bet SW stands for Sinful Warriors. That motherfucker is trying to send a message.”
My heart beat a mile a minute. Was Sire really trying to make it known he was coming for me? If so, he could come out of hiding because I damn sure wasn’t hiding from him. I wanted his ass more than I wanted my next breath.
A baby’s cry broke me from my thoughts. Cara’s voice came through next.“Ah, I have to go. Jasper just woke up. Try not to stress, Tech. We’re going to get his ass. Believe that,”she said and hung up.
Will rubbed my arm and laid a gentle kiss on my chest. “He’s so fuckin’ evil. How can he just take an innocent life like that?”
“Because he’s sick. In his twisted mind, Sire really believes that he’s doing the Lord's work. This isn’t anything outside the norm for him.”
“I hope when you all get your hands on him, he suffers.”
“He will. Without a doubt. But I don’t want to focus on that right now.”
Will gave me a coy smile. “What do you want to focus on?”
I growled, bringing his body to mine. “I can show you better than I can tell you.”
Right as our lips were coming together again, there was a knock on the front door. I swear somebody was about to fucking die!
I snatched a pair of basketball shorts and a shirt and threw them on. Will went into his closet, grabbing a shirt as well. When I swung the front door open, Axel stood there with a worried expression.
“What’s going on?” I asked him.
His eyes shifted to Will, who stood behind me, before he refocused on me. “Uhhh, can we talk in private?”
“Is it club business?”
Axel hesitated for a moment and shook his head. “Umm… No, it’s not.”
“Then tell me. I don’t keep things from Will anymore.”
Will grabbed my hand and linked our fingers. “Babe, it’s fine. I can just go back to the room while?—”
I turned to Will, shaking my head. “No, you will not. The only thing I will keep from you is club business. Nothing more, nothing less.” I turned back to Axel. “What’s going on?”
Axel rubbed the back of his neck. “Jenny is at the gate. She said it’s important that she talks to you.”
The air left my lungs. I hadn’t seen Jenny since the night I slept with her. She had been coming to the clubhouse for years to party, but after that night, she disappeared. I didn’t care one way or the other. I was just glad she didn’t turn into one of those clingy, delusional chicks. I was already under enough stress losing Will. I didn’t need Jenny coming around to make things worse. Still, I was curious to see why she was here after all these months.
After some of the crazy shit the brothers had endured with their past flings, I needed to see where her head was at. I already had one threat against Will. I didn’t need two.
I faced Will and saw a different swirl of emotions. Confusion, curiosity, but most of all, he looked worried. I didn’t know if he thought a part of me still wanted Jenny, but that wasn’t the case at all. Not to sound like an asshole, but I didn’t want Jenny the night I had her.
