Page 81 of Wilde In His Arms

I bet I’d make a lot of money off your pretty girlfriend.She rides your cock like a rodeo queen.Perhaps that’s the best revenge.You not knowing where she is or how many men are fucking her.One way or another, you’ll pay.

The ugly words sank into the pit of his stomach, making him feel sick, even as his rage grew to monumental proportions.Every muscle in his body tensed, ready to kill the bastard.

That asshole came to his house and threatened his girlfriend.The woman who would be his wife, the mother of their kids.No fucking way.

Javier was not going to take her from him.Nothing and no one as ugly as Javier Lopez and his dirty business would ever touch her.

They already have.

He’s watching me.He was watching us.

Fuck!

He couldn’t let Aria see that note.He couldn’t tell her what Javier had seen.But he did need to warn her.He needed to tell Mason and the team of agents keeping an eye on all of them.

He hung his head and took a moment to compose himself.That’s when he spotted the phone on the ground.His head shot up and he scanned the area.In the early morning dawn, shadows still covered the backyard.He waited, watching if anything moved.

When he was certain enough that he was alone, he opened the door and snatched up the phone, then he closed and locked it again.

The burner phone had a full charge and one number programmed into it.He hit dial and waited as the phone rang, once, then twice.

“You’re up early.I thought you’d be fucking that sweet piece of ass all night now that you finally have her in your bed.You two look so happy in your bliss.Moving in together suits you.”His malicious voice and taunting words made Nick see red.

“Fuck you.You touch her and you’re dead.”Nick wanted to kill him.Slowly.

“You know what you took from me.I thought I could trust you, then you betrayed me.The whole time you were just trying to take me down.You failed.Now I will take my revenge.And once I’ve crushed your heart, I will take your brother, then kill you.”

“Not if I kill you first.”Nick hung up and let Javier choke on that.

The phone rang immediately.He didn’t answer.Javier was the kind of guy who let his rage get the better of him.

Nick was more controlled.More calculating.

Javier was in town.Or at least close by.He couldn’t hide in a small town like this for long.Nick would find him.He’d stop him.Before that monster got close to Aria again.

Chapter thirty-four

Nickwalkedintothenew FBI offices upstairs and across from the Blackrock Falls PD.Of course, there was no sign announcing it as the FBI offices.They had four thousand square feet of space.One large conference room, two small ones, two interrogation rooms, four cubicles, and six offices.There were two bathrooms, one for men, one for women, with multiple stalls in each.The galley-style kitchen boasted a large double-door fridge/freezer combo, two microwaves, a toaster oven, and two coffee pots, plus an electric kettle.He’d seen the specs and layout his boss sent him last week.Whoever set up the offices did a good job of getting them the equipment and furniture they needed, along with the necessities for working long hours.

He wondered how long this had been in the works.

“What are you doing here?”Agent Monroe asked, coming out of his office holding a folder and a mug.

“I left Aria with extra protection and thought I’d come in and check out the space.See what I need for my office before I’m back on duty.”Nick hid his black mood behind professionalism in front of his subordinate.

Monroe held up his mug.“Can I get you a cup?”Monroe was new to being under Nick’s command, but they’d met on multiple occasions in the past.This transition should be a smooth one.

“No thanks.”Nick held up the note he’d found on his window.He’d put it in a plastic bag.“Mind putting this into evidence on the Javier Lopez case?That fucker left it at my house this morning.”Nick seethed.“He’s also been watching me.”

Monroe’s eyes went wide.“No shit.Fuck.Did you see him there?”

“No.I called him on the burner phone he left outside the glass door.”Nick pulled it out of his pocket.It hadn’t rung again since he called Lopez and they had their little pissing match.It would come in handy when he was ready to face off with Lopez.

Agent Monroe eyed the phone.“Damn.What did he want?”

“To let me know he’s coming for my brother and girlfriend.Retribution for his sister.”

“So he’s here.In town.Maybe close by.”Agent Monroe turned thoughtful.“He’s keeping tabs on you, your bother, and your girlfriend.She lives at the bar, right?”
