Page 86 of Malicious Intentions

“Hell, yes. Did you call the guys?”

“I spoke to Zayne and Jaxson. Nyx and Bentley are organizing the location and making sure it’s secure. They’ll monitor the entrance.”

“I’ll text Ryker and Luca. Guaranteed they’ll be there. You focus on the fight.”

“Awesome. Are you bringing Lexi?”

Evan’s eyes lock with mine. “Always. Where I go, she goes. Is Sophia coming?”

“Yes. She’ll be in my corner.” He chuckles. “I can’t wait to see Owen’s face when I devour her lips after beating his ass.”

“Maybe we can have a joint wedding soon.”

Trent laughs. “Whoa. I didn’t say Sophia and I were quite there yet. But it sounds like you are.”

Evan grabs my hand, lifting it to his lips. “I’m ready whenever she is.”

CHAPTER 55

Alexis

Evan had me change into dark jeans and a black top in case blood splattered on my clothing. When I inquired, Evan said, “Trent has a score to settle. Owen has been a thorn in his side.”

Sophia told me Trent can be a very violent fighter. I’m shocked because he seems calm and laid back whenever I’ve been around him.

I know he doesn’t need the money, so when I asked Evan why Trent fights, he looked at me and said, “Trent is obsessed with Sophia, and he’s had enough of Owen standing in their way.” He winks at me. “Some things are worth fighting for.”

My heart stuttered into my chest. I’m an unhinged, hopeless romantic.

Evan holds my hand,leading me down the narrow hallway of an underground tunnel. I can’t help but admire him as he confidentially walks beside me. I feel like royalty in his presence.

He glances down at me and winks. “You can’t have my cock now. Later, baby.”

I grin, a laugh bubbling out of me. “I was just admiring how damn attractive and confident you are. It’s sinful.”

Evan gives me that grin he reserves solely for me. “I’m hotter with you on my arm.” He gives me a peck on the lips, and when he pulls away, I can’t help but notice the envious looks on some of the women’s faces.

That’s right, bitches. He’s mine.

Evan leads me to a group of people who erupt in smiles and greetings. He places a protective arm around me, ushering me into the center of it all. I lean against him, overwhelmed by the faces and voices surrounding me.

“Lexi. This is Ryker and his wife, Devyn James.”

Ryker’s smile is friendly, and his dark eyes show approval. He nods at Evan and then returns his attention to me. “Nice to meet you, Lexi.” He holds out his hand, and I shake it.

“Lexi. I’m so glad to meet you.” Devyn wraps me in her arms, and a surprised laugh bubbles from me. “I’ve heard a lot about you,” she whispers. “I think we’re gonna be good friends. We have a lot in common.”

Her comment puzzles me, especially since I know nothing about her. “It’s nice to meet you.”

“This is Luca Federico.” Evan gestures to a dark-haired guy wearing a Fedora hat. When he turns his head to me, I see scars on one side of his face, as though he’d been burned. The other side is perfection—smooth olive skin, brown eyes that crinkle in the corners when he smiles, and blindingly white teeth.

“It’s nice to meet you finally. I’ve heard a lot about you.” Luca smirks at Evan, then winks at me before extending his hand.

“It’s nice to meet you, Luca.”

“Well, well, well. We finally get to meet your feisty bombshell.” A loud voice booms to my right.

I turn my head, my eyes landing on an older, dark-haired guy with piercing eyes that probe into mine. If I met him in a dark alley, I’d be scared.
