Rest of you get that motherfucker and put him in the ground.

Phoenix

You’ll hear no qualms from me.

Shocker.

Silas

Fine, but I don’t want her alone. Not for one fucking second.

Me

Not a problem.

It was a big fuckin’ problem.

Brody

Just don’t go stir crazy in that apartment. A man needs to let off steam. When your dick needs some action, let me know, and I’ll come babysit. No need for my little sister to be cockblocking you. Living with her just might make you lose your mind.

It was only meant as a jest.

But I was pretty sure my mind had already been lost.

Silas

Like this asshole ever lets loose.

It came out light, but I could still feel the message behind it. Truth of where Silas believed me stuck, and he didn’t have a fucking idea.

Me

I’m all good.

Silas

Take care, brother. We’ll see you at the house tomorrow.

I tucked my phone into my back pocket, casting another glance over the lot, before I stepped back into the apartment.

My chest clutched at the sight of Elena in the kitchen. On the other side of the island facing away at the stove.

Stirring a pot, but what she was really stirring was the greed that boiled in the pit of my stomach.

Insides curling up in a fist as she swayed, that black braid swishing along the small of her back with the movement.

Entrancing.

Hypnotizing.

She still wore that short dress that hit her mid-thigh, skirt and arms flowy. But she’d kicked off her shoes, and she was barefoot.

Looking like a fucking dream.

My most twisted fantasy.

My darkest obsession.
