“Yes,” I grit.“Killing my brother is on the top of my list.Yet, I would like some damn answers.Why he started all of this for one.Fighting a bond is one thing, choosing to step into the darkness isn’t a spur of the moment decision.”
I have no clue why I’m bringing this up.In the end it doesn’t matter anyway.“Never mind.”
Sevrin reaches out again, like he did back in the office after I saw the bodies.His warm hand cups the side of my face while he gently strokes my cheek with his thumb.What’s with the gentle touches between the harsh words, or say nothing at all and ignoring me for days?
“Some questions will never get answers, and if they do?They might not be what you’d like to hear anyway.We’re living in a crazy world where unexplained things will sometimes remain a mystery for a reason.Now, the part where you want to torture and kill?That’s definitely something I can arrange.”He leans in and feathers his lips against mine.
My eyes fall closed and for a mere moment I let myself enjoy how the soft touch of our mouths ignites a tingle of pleasure.
The kiss ends too soon.“First, you’re getting your hot shower, then we’ll spend some time in bed.Those two were high on your to-do list.Then, when tomorrow comes, I’ll have someone we can interrogate.”
“Someone?As in you’re just going to put someone in a chair for my entertainment?”I wonder.
Sevrin snorts.“No.Not just someone.I received a text earlier from Karev.He’s managed to capture the genie.”
I can feel my eyes go wide.“I’m not going to torture or kill the daughter of my former neighbor.”
“Not even if she helped to kill Holton and wouldn’t so much as fuckin’ blink to help kill you?”Sevrin grits.
Okay, when he puts it like that?Yeah, I have to agree.Sevrin gives me another angry look before he gets out of the vehicle.
I do the same and follow him as we head for the clubhouse while I snap, “Fine.You’re right.But I won’t be a part of torturing or killing her.”
He comes to an abrupt stop and turns to tower over me.
Before he can so much as throw words at me, I add, “Watching will be sufficient.Preferably in the room where the torture takes place so she can see me shoot angry glares at her stupid ass.”
The corner of his mouth twitches.“We’ll see.”
He places his hand on my lower back and guides me into the clubhouse.The warmth of his touch seeps through my clothes and makes my skin tingle underneath.Dammit.I’m already pregnant.Why doesn’t the chemistry between us stop?I mean, we still bump heads at every turn and bumping pelvises will only complicate stuff.
Yet, bumping pelvises sounds exactly what both of us need right now.
