“Yeah. That’s her worst nightmare. Two men she fucking hates. One in her mouth, one in her ass. Or however we want it, really,” I said. “Do you have any idea how loud she’ll scream? How much it’ll hurt her? She’ll be all kinds of broken.”
Jamie grunted. “I suppose so.”
“Just let me have this, man. Like a parting gift. She wasmine first, and I’m not exactly thrilled to give her up forever.”"
The gun barrel pressed against my head again. “How do I know you won’t fuck me over afterwards?”
“Because if we do this, we both win, so I won’t have any reason to screw you over. I’ll go home satisfied, and you’ll get to stay here with Willow. You won’t need to worry about escaping today, changing your identity, and spending the rest of your life on the run from my mom and everyone else.”
“I don’t know,” he muttered.
“There’s more,” I said, squaring my shoulders. “Mom won’t be the Order leader for much longer. She knows she’s getting older. Losing her touch. I’ll be taking over within the next five years.”
“So?”
“So if you do me a big favor now, I’ll remember it in the future.”
“How?” Jamie asked. I couldn’t see his face, but I could tell by his tone that I’d piqued his interest.
“When I become the leader, I can keep you on as my right hand man instead of throwing you out and picking a new one. Unlike my mother, I’ll actually be honest with you about everything. I won’t play with you and promise you all sorts of shit that you’ll never get, but you’ll still get everything you want within reason.” I slowly turned around and looked into Jamie’s eyes. “None of that can happen if you put a bullet in my head today, can it?”
“I suppose not,” he said, lips curving in a faint smile. “But you need to promise me that it’s just this once. Promise that you won’t come here later demanding to fuck her by yourself.”
I shook my head. “After I leave, I promise I’ll never step foot on this island again.”
I meant those words with every inch of my soul.
Jamie’s eyes narrowed slightly. “How can you promise that when you claim to miss fucking her so much?”
“You’ll just have to trust me,” I said, steeling my jaw. “And I’ll just have to get over it and find a new piece of pussy. Willow might be special, but there’s a lot of special girls out there. Won’t be hard for a guy like me to find a better one eventually.”
Jamie went silent for a long moment. Then he finally nodded and put his gun down on the cabinet. “All right. We can do this,” he said. A lecherous gleam had appeared in his eyes now. “Just give me the gun that you’ve been trying to hide in your back pocket first.”
“Of course.” I pulled it out and handed it to him, smiling thinly. I didn’t need to worry about him changing his tune and shooting me. He trusted me now. I’d earned it by promising him the world when I ascended to the uppermost echelons of the Order.
He put my gun on the cabinet. Then he stepped past me and headed down the hall. “Well?” he said, glancing at me over his shoulder with one brow raised. “What the hell are you waiting for?”
