“And if you die, I'm getting your beach house and I’m making it Toffee’s new playhouse.”
“Fair enough.”
Now, as we drove through the darkened streets, that same manic energy coursed through me. The plan had worked perfectly, better than I could have hoped. I'd seen inside her world and gotten a glimpse of what made Estelle tick.
And more importantly, I'd planted the seed. She let me in once, and she'd do it again.
“You know,” Adrian said, breaking into my thoughts, “Connor's gonna be mad he missed this. He would’ve loved to see you get hit.”
I snorted, remembering how he almost beat the shit out of me for sneaking up on Sierra. He probably would have tried to kill me if I’d asked him instead of Adrian.
“So what's next in this master plan of yours? Because if it involves me driving into you again, I’m out.”
I grinned, the ideas already forming in my mind. “Now I become her hero.”
“Pretty heroic, the way you were a victim of a fucking hit and run.”
I rolled my eyes. “That was just the opening move. Now I need to make myself indispensable. Find out what she needs, what she wants.”
My voice dropped lower, a possessive edge creeping in. “And then I give it to her. All of it.”
Adrian was quiet for a moment, then he glanced at me. “So we’re burning down the complex?” He sounded excited, his eyes gleaming.
“No,” I muttered, my mind already racing ahead to the next step, the next move in this chess game I was playing with the woman who didn't even know we were playing.
My phone buzzed, and I glanced down to see a text from Connor fucking Graves:
Connor
Adrian should’ve paralyzed you.
I scoffed, reading it out loud to Adrian.
Jax
Fucking good day to you too. No ‘how did plan get your girl go?’
He was typing for a few minutes, clearly conflicted.
Connor
how was plan get your girl.
Adrian read it next to me, grinning. “Tell him she cleaned your boo-boos.”
I definitely wasn’t going to tell him that, but my phone was yanked from my hands, and I looked up to see Adrian steering the wheel with his fucking knees.
Jax (Adrian)
SHE CLEANED HIS BOO-BOOS!
I snatched my phone back from Adrian, smacking him with the device.
Connor
Seriously…?
Jax
