Page 101 of His Enforcer

“You fucking touch him and I’ll kill you,” I say, my arm steady, my eyes laser-focused.

Agro eyes me, not moving, his jaw ticking. He’s ready to burst. His hands come up slowly, and I press the tip of the gun to his forehead, grabbing Luca by the back of the neck, just like he does to me. Owning him. Possessing him.

“Never speak to him like that again or I’ll take you apart. Piece by piece. You’ll wish for this bullet.”

Luca’s watching me intently, and I know I’ve shown all my cards, but right now, I don’t care.

Agro takes a step back but my gun doesn’t waver. It stays trained on him until Jax barrels by, Bane over his shoulder.

“We have to go!” he shouts. “Fucking move!”

I stare after them for a second, watching a crowd of people surge toward us, Agro doing the same.Fuck.We’re going to die, I think as I grab Luca’s hand and we burst forward, passing Jax, who is slowed down by Bane, and rush toward the locker rooms.

“My eyeball!” Bane cries. “I dropped one!”

“Forget the fucking eye!” Jax grunts as we turn toward the rickety entrance, all following Luca inside.

“I need my shit,” he grunts, shutting the metal door behind us and locking it. The pounding that proceeds, rattling the door on its hinges, makes my heart race.

“Hurry,” I hiss as Luca grabs his bag and leads us toward the back door.

We push through it with a clang, Bane murmuring under his breath about his missing trophy as we rush toward the cars.

Jax and Bane end up in one, and Luca and I in the other. We peel out of the parking lot as Luca leans back in his seat, chest heaving.

“You’re an idiot,” I say again, wanting him to really hear it, to know how angry I am with him.

“So are you.”

Silence moves between us, and Luca huffs out a laugh, the fear and tension bleeding out of us the farther we get from the warehouse.

“Fucking Bane. Why did he come anyway?” Luca finally asks.

“Apparently to wreak havoc.” Luca chuckles, and I add, “I didn’t know he was in the car until I was on the highway. He popped out of the back like a fucking goblin.”

“Shit,” Luca replies, his laugh growing. “That asshole. We were right to have him shipped back home in a box. He would have found a way to return if we hadn’t.”

“He always does. He’s like a cockroach.”

We chuckle on and off about Bane and his antics until we pull up at Luca’s house, and then the reality of it all comes crashing down. Suddenly, the adrenaline is absent and I can feel the drop palpably. It makes me shiver slightly, my body temperature falling as we sit in the car.

“Will Agro end up here? Do we need to call for more security?” I finally ask, staring at his front door in concern.

Luca turns toward me. “You’ll protect me, right, pretty boy?”

My cock hardens at that and I turn off the ignition and get out, schooling my face into something serious as I open his car door.

“Will he, Luca? Will he show up? Does he know where you live?”

“No, we’re safe. Plus, I have you.”

“It’s my job to make sure you don’t die. Now get the fuck out, Luca. You need a shower.”

He follows me into his house, his hand reaching out for mine as we move. I can’t help but pull it up and look at his bruised knuckles, brushing my thumb over the broken skin.

“You’re too old for this.”

“I know.”
