“She started it,” Levan mutters under his breath as he walks past me.
“Did not,” Fosca states.
I raise my eyebrow at the childish remark and she simply shrugs.“He’s an annoying asshole who is repeatedly screwing my friend.I have no clue if it’s in a good way or if he’s...”
Levan pops his head around the doorjamb.“Oh, it’s in a good way all right.She’s not yours, she’s all mine now.”
“Like I said, annoying asshole,” Fosca growls.
I shut the door in Levan’s face and turn to Fosca.“Levan is an annoying asshole and smells blood like the damn shark he is when he’s able to aggravate people.I do know one thing, though.The part where you’re concerned about your friend, the dolphin shifter?I can guarantee you have nothing to worry about.”
She frowns and glances through the window at the man in question.“How can you be sure?”
“Mating for a great white shark shifter has a bit of a mystery to it.He never talks about having sex either, I’ve never seen him getting down and dirty with a woman either, and that’s all I know.So, for him to acknowledge it?Damn well throw out she’s his now?I wouldn’t worry about it and let them handle their own business.”
“Fine,” she huffs.
I step closer and sneak my arm around her waist to pull her flush against me.She comes willingly and tips her head back, drawing me in with those pink lush lips.I take her mouth and groan when she rubs her tongue against mine.
My cock is rock hard, wanting inside her tight pussy.It’s pure torture to know now is not the time.Pulling back, I place my forehead against hers.She’s breathing hard, lust swirling in her eyes the way it’s running hot through my veins.
“Let’s get this over with so we’ll have time for other fun stuff,” I breathe.
She tugs at my denim vest.“Take your time.Remember what you told me.She might not have beheaded Holton, but she sure as hell made it possible for someone to kill him.”
“She’ll pay for his murder,” I vow and feather my lips against hers before I head into the room.
Slamming the door shut behind me, I flip the switch on the wall so Fosca is able to hear what goes on inside the walls of this room.
Grabbing a steel rod, I hold it in front of my VP.“Karev, mind heating this thing up for me?”
Karev partly shifts to let a hellhound head appear.Opening its mouth, it releases a stream of fire, making the tip of the rod turn orange.I give him an appreciating nod and take a step in the genie’s direction.Without warning, I press the rod against one of her eyes.She screams and the scent of burned skin fills the room.
“Ready to answer some questions or do you want me to take your other eye too?”I ask, knowing blinding her will dissolve her powers.
“S-stop.Y-you can’t do this,” she stutters and whimpers in pain.
There is no pity for this woman.Like Fosca mentioned before I stepped into this room; the genie might not have killed him, but she sure as fuck helped.
Anger is boiling to the surface and I let the still hot rod graze the cheek of her good eye.“It was a simple yes or no question.Are we going to end everything here and now?Or are you going to cooperate?I know for a fact Cassius doesn’t give a shit about you.He’s been using you ever since he murdered your mother so he could raise you as his own.”
“Lies,” she screeches.“All lies.Y-you are the one who k-killed my mother.N-not Cassius.”
“Brainwashed,” Levan mutters.“What a surprise.”
Her head turns in his direction and she spits on the floor near his feet.“You guys are the ones who are brainwashed.”
“Take out her other eye.Kill her magic so I can tap into her brain to see what she knows.I’m sick of this bullshit.She won’t accept the truth from us anyway,” Triton states.
The genie sucks in a breath, and then stutters, “No.P-please.N-not the Triva d-descendant.”
She starts to tug at her bindings and tilts her head back in a failing attempt to peek under the blindfold.
“Then start fuckin’ talking,” I snarl.
Getting annoyed, I have to agree with Triton...taking away her magic would make it possible for him to dig through her past.She’s not going to freely give this information, and torturing her doesn’t seem to motivate her.
She shakes her head and whimpers, “I...I c-can’t.He’ll kill me.”
