I pull the trigger all the way, the bullet hitting him between the eyes. Blood splatters everywhere, covering Elliott as he sags in his chair. Kingston slumps forward, his lifeless body falling to the cold, concrete floor.

“Cash, let’s talk about this. I have money, man. I’ll give you as much as you want. Just let me live,” Carver begs, choking on a sob as spittle flies from his mouth.

I smirk and look at my brothers. “Did you hear that? He has money. But actually, since Jordyn is now the sole owner of Kingston Casinos, when you die, that will also make her the sole owner of CK Gaming, based on the way the contract is written. Which meansshe’llhave a lot of money. Isn’t that right, Carver?”

He shakes his head, and I chuckle.

“You fucked yourself. And your family business, all for your own greed. You thought you were smarter, and that you could get one over on Kingston. You succeeded in that. But you fucked with my family and my girl in the process, which was a lethal mistake. I’ll at least give you the respect to shoot you between the eyes. I’m not a coward, unlike whoever murdered my father.”

I pull the trigger again. And as the bullet sinks into his skull, I let out the heavy breath I’ve been holding onto for way too long.

Avenging my dad won’t bring him back, but at least I’ll be able to sleep at night knowing his killer is where he belongs. Six feet under in the middle of the desolate desert. Along with the other bodies we’ve buried over the years. Because as my kitten says, no one fucks with our business.

Caleb standsoutside Jordyn’s car door, arms crossed, ready to protect my girl in a heartbeat. Like he did earlier. She would have been killed if he hadn’t burst into her apartment. He deserves a bonus. I could give him a check for my entire bank balance and it still wouldn’t be enough to thank him for saving my girl.

As soon as he sees me, he tips his head in acknowledgment then waits until I’m in the driver’s seat before he backs away from the SUV. Jordyn doesn’t say anything, her eyes downcast to her lap, where she’s twisting her fingers together. I reach for a hand and bring it to my mouth, pressing a gentle kiss to it.

She turns her head to look at me, her lips parted. Then she pulls away, and I can’t breathe. Why doesn’t she want to touch me? The throbbing of my knuckles makes me glance down at them, and even though I rinsed them off with bottled water, they’re still swollen and bloody. Is she upset because I killed her dad?

I swallow tightly and follow Xander’s SUV out of the parking lot, Caleb on my tail. Tension fills the space between us, but I’m trying not to lose my temper; she’s been through so much today. There could be a dozen reasons why she doesn’t want to touch me. But I still don’t fucking like it.

We’re nearly at my house when Jordyn sits up and scans the horizon, then looks at me with panicked eyes. “Where are we going?”

“Home.”

What more is there to say?

Her home is with me.

I made a mistake by letting her go, and I’m fixing it right fucking now.

“Cash, my apartment is the other way.”

“You’re not going to your apartment, kitten. And if you call me Cash one more fucking time, I swear, I’ll put you over my knee on the side of the road.”

Her mouth opens and closes like a fish as she figures out how to respond. It’s pretty damn cute.

As we go through the gates of my property, she twists her upper body toward me, her eyebrows pinched. “What are you doing? Why aren’t you taking me home?” Her voice gets higher with each word.

My lips twitch as I park, then turn to cup her chin. “Iamtaking you home, kitten. This is your home. This is where you belong. Not that boring-ass apartment. With me.”

I’m already out of the car and by the passenger door to help her when she finally moves, but it’s not to climb out of the car. She reaches for the door and starts to pull it closed, but I catch it before she slams it in my face.

“Take me home. I don’t live here. You let me go.” Her words slice through me as she crosses her arms, pushing up her big tits and irritating me even more. I don’t want all my brothers and Caleb to see that. Those are for me and only me.

“Get out of the car, kitten,” I warn, my dick twitching along with my palm.

“I’m not getting out. Take me home, Cash.”

Oh, she wants to be a brat, does she? My kitten wants to test me? I failed us once by letting her go. That’s not happening again. That’s the thing about me; I learn my lessons andneverrepeat them. Just like she’sneverleaving again.

Letting out a deep sigh, I lean into the passenger side and unbuckle her seatbelt, then push my shoulder into her softstomach and flip her over it. She grips the back of my shirt for dear life. As if I would drop her. She doesn’t know me very well. I’ll never let that happen.

“Are you serious right now?” she screeches.

“You better have panties on because if any of them see your pussy, their heads are on you,” I growl as I carry her past them.

“Stay out here. We’ll be done in a minute. I need to have a chat with my future wife,” I snap at the guys.
