CHAPTER SIXTEEN

LIFE’S FULL OF SURPRISES

BIANCA

If it wasn’t for the constant turmoil, I’d handle GT before Catch could get to him. We had a bigger issue.

Rosco.

When Tori presented the plan to meet with him, I knew keeping Catch, Rémy, and Romeo off their trail wouldn’t be easy.

My man had Spidey senses and saw through my bullshit attempt at seduction.

Catch flipped out. He tied me up and placed me in the trunk of the truck. My pussy was on full display. But possessive as my boyfriend was, there wasn’t a chance in hell he’d let someone see my naked body. The way his eyes combed my flesh made me wet. As angry as I was, I still wanted to ride his dick. The second the trunk slammed shut, the horny thoughts disintegrated. Kneeing my handsome man in the balls was all I desired.

The night took a darker turn.

Once we arrived at the abandoned school, Catch untied me. “Put on your clothes, bombshell.” He leaned in and slid his tongue along my neck. The wicked sensation that swept through my body was delicious. I had to snap out of The Catch spell.

I yanked the gage from my mouth. “Fuck you,” I bit out.

“When we get back to the warehouse, I plan to do just that up against the wall, hard.” His tongue slicked across his lower lip.

My lip curled into a snarl. “No, you won’t.”

His eyes darted to my pussy under the soft trunk light. “You and your pussy aren’t on the same page. You’re wet as fuck for me, bombshell. Just the way I like it.”

Fuck, I hated that I craved this man’s hands on me at all times.

“I have to go. Don’t leave this trunk until you’re completely dressed,” he ordered before closing the trunk door.

The situation with Tori erupted into a blazing inferno of chaos.It was unfathomable that my childhood friend could plunge so deep into the abyss of darkness.Taking my brother hostage and strapping his body with explosives would end in Man-Man’s long, slow death.

Putting the money back in Man-Man’s account was the last thing I wanted to do. My thoughts naturally deviated to my brother’s safety.The realization of the horrific situation gnawed at my soul.I had to get my head in the game expeditiously in hopes I could save my brother’s life.

Once the transaction was complete, Catch rushed my brother out of the building. Catch was my hero. This man kept proving the lengths he’d go to for me. He didn’t have to do any of what he’d done.

Catch’s heroic actions might’ve put me in the Catch obsession realm. It wouldn’t be healthy. I’d want all things Catch all the time. If my best friend’s issues didn’t get in the way of her leaving Chicago, I’d move to New Jersey in a heartbeat.

It felt like my heart plummeted to my feet when I took in my brother’s appearance. His jaw was set tight. He held onto that ‘I’m a tough guy’ look until I pulled him into my arms in the backseat of the truck.

“I love you, Bianca,” he whimpered.

His body shook in my embrace.

“I love you too. Our life is harder because of where we come from. I’m so sorry this happened.

I’ll have to do a better job of protecting the family.” I sobbed, clutching a Glock at my side.

He held me tightly. “You always look out for us. I’m happy I could step up.”

I squeezed him tighter. His words brought a smile to my face.

Catch walked backwards, firing his weapon as he approached the SUV.

“Stay here,” I ordered. My heart was in my throat.

I hopped out of the SUV and aimed my weapon at the men pouring out of the school.
