“Patrick is out front, but I haven’t seen Reid in a minute,” Daniels answered. His gruff Irish accent was hard to miss.
“I want a man on each of them for the rest of the night.” A phone rang. “What?”
Another stint of silence.
Kenzie pulled my hand away from her mouth.
I placed a finger in front of my mouth to signal for her to be quiet. She nodded and leaned into me. My body reacted the same way it did the last time she rubbed her ass up against me.
“Something’s wrong at Albert’s. They can’t find his family.” Sonny snarled.
“It is Halloween. Maybe they’re out trick-or-treating or something.” Danial’s voice faded away.
“I thought we had someone on the house,” Sonny asked.
“We did.” Daniels came close to the closet. “It was Brice and Maddox.”
“Fucking Brice. Get him back here as well. I want all of them in this room by midnight. Eddie, Marco, I want you two in this room manning the phones all night, and once they get here, you keep them here.”
A door slammed, and a television went on.
I pulled my phone out of my back pocket.
Reid: Plan B - stay away from the clubhouse.
I sent a text off to our group message. She waited while those three dots appeared and disappeared. He wasn’t supposed to text me back.
“Don’t you need to warn him?” she whispered.
I grabbed her arm and pulled her away from the door.
“I already did.” I took the battery and SIM card out of the burner phone and broke it in half. I shoved the pieces into the pocket of a jacket hanging in the closet.
I pulled Mackenzie behind the stack of chairs and grabbed one down and quietly jammed it against the closet door. At least we’d have some warning if they tried to come in. Eddie and Marco weren’t the sharpest tools in the shed, so I didn’t expect them to cover their bases.
I sat down on another chair and slid one next to me for her to sit on.
“We can’t just sit here,” she whispered.
I pulled her down and sat her on my lap. “Let go of me.”
“You don’t enjoy being in my arms anymore?” I pouted. “That’s a shame.”
“This isn’t a game,” she said in a whisper.
“I don’t agree.” I rubbed my face. “We’re all playing a game. If you weren’t playing a game, you would have told me when you recognized me. If this weren’t a game, you’d be in Florida by now.”
“You recognized me first.” She settled back against me. “You fucked me knowing who I was.”
“True.” I ran my hands down her leather-clad thighs. “But that wasn’t part of the game. That was strictly for selfish reasons.”
“What reasons?”
“I figured if I fucked you, I’d get you out of my system instead of following you to the ends of the earth.”
Her eyes blinked.
“Why would you follow me?” She looked away.
