He was a wise man, and more intelligent than his colleagues.

“Talk.”

“Not over the phone. But I’ll guide you to her. When you get to the location, I’ll make sure you find your way through. All I ask is that my family stays out of it.”

I glanced at my bloody friend hanging from the ceiling. “How do I know this isn’t another setup?”

“Because I’m not stupid enough to fuck with a man who burns people alive for fun.”

That made me smile.

“You’ll have to fight your way to her. I can’t help with that part - they’d know. I can only point you in the right direction.”

“Give me a way to contact you.”

“I can’t, man.”

“Do it, or all bets are off.”

There was hesitation in the line, then Aaron rattled off a few digits.

“Tell me where she is.”

“Do you and your Paradox or whoever you are promise not to come after my family?”

“Where did you hear that name?”

“Your queen mentioned it. She keeps telling us we won’t survive a run-in with you, and I’m inclined to believe her. I can admit when I’m in over my head.”

Knowing Santari was taunting them made my dick hard. She was becoming like us by the day, and I didn’t know if that was a good thing, but my erection thought so.

“Is she unharmed?”

He hesitated again.

“Motherfuckeeeeer?” I growled.

“Look, I’ve tried to keep the guys off her as much as possible, but she’s feisty as a motherfucker. She fights, and she bites, so she’s got some bruises, but she’s okay, I promise.”

I locked my jaw and closed my eyes, inhaling the murderous insanity that moved through me.

“Where is she?”

“Do I have your word?”

“Where is sheeeeeee?!”

Aaron gave me an address. “I’ll take this as your promise.”

“Keep your phone on. I’ll contact you when we’re ready.”

I ended the call and dialed Cruz.

“What?” he answered.

“Get back to the house. I know where she is.”

“What the fuck you say?”
