“I’ll do what I can in the truck, Enzo has more supplies being delivered to the safe house,” he says, keeping his tone neutral.

I nod, knowing not to press further.

I never got to shake Drago’s hand for saving my girls. It only gives me the power I need to drag this squirming asshole across the ground.

“Chain him up where Drago was,” Charlotte orders.

Now isn’t the time for her sassiness to make my cock twitch, but God damn.

I catch the sadness in her eyes as Drago passes her, and I drop Vlad in a pile of Drago’s blood.

I can’t resist slamming my boot into his dick as I connect the metal to either wrist as tight as I can possibly do them.

Brushing my hands on my coat, I grab the end of the chain and heave to pull, and Charlotte does the same on her beam until we have him in an upright position with his arms spread.

“Good job, baby,” I praise her with a wink.

That little smile makes my stomach flip.

It’s even the small things that make her eyes light up.

I step back and allow Charlotte to rummage through the shelving units for her weapon of choice. Crossing my arms across my chest, I glare at Vlad.

He disgusts me.

Her face beams as she returns to me with a small, rusty blade. Out of everything she had a choice of, this surprises me.

“Trust me, Declan. You might not want to look, though,” she says cheekily.

I edge closer as she approaches Vlad and runs the blade along his jaw.

“Feel good, Vlad?” she mocks.

“Bitch,” he shouts.

“Keep your mouth shut, or I’ll rip out your teeth and slice your tongue with this rusty knife.”

I bite back my smile. Fuck, I’m proud of her.

“Just fucking kill me, Charlotte. I don’t need to listen to another minute of your bullshit.”

Charlotte's menacing laugh fills the room.

“Pathetic man. Giving up already? You lost, Vlad. But I lost ten years of my life to you. You aren’t getting away that easy. I know your weaknesses, and I intend to exploit every single one.”

She jabs the tip of the blade into his jaw.

“I fucking hate you, Vlad.”

Holy shit.

With a smile on her face, she steps back and shoves the blade right into his cock. I have never heard a man cry like this before.

My face scrunches up, just imagining the agony.

“I was worried there for a second I might miss such a small dick.”

I blow out a breath to disguise my laughter.
