Page 10 of Tell Me Why
I take a step back and flick my chin at Eve, urging her to do as she’s been told. It takes several long seconds, but finally, she pulls her pink sweater over her head and drops it onto the floor beside her. She’s wearing a white, lacy bra that shows a hint of her pink nipples beneath.
Oh, fuck,yes. My cock is already twitching.
“Bra, too,” I say.
A flash of defiance crosses her face, and I hold my breath, wondering if she’ll pass this little test I’ve set in front of her. She may decide this is all too much and bounce.
I really hope she doesn’t do that, because my backup plan will be much,muchless pleasant for her…
Finally, she pulls in a deep breath, reaches behind her back, and unhooks her bra. Her movements are slow, and I’m impatient, so I hurry her along by reaching over and pulling it off the rest of the way.
Her tits are on the larger side, heavy, with tight, pink nipples that make my mouth fucking water. So this is what she’s been hiding under those oversized hoodies...
My brother says something snarky, but I don’t even hear him—I’m too focused on Eve, remembering how her pussy melted for me when I pushed her against the wall and took it by force...
Ash steps toward her. “How do we know your brother hasn’t sent you here?”
She shakes her head. “He’d murder me if he knew I was here.”
Ash tilts his head to the side, openly staring at her tits. “Then why come?”
“I’ve grown up around a secret society, and I know what you’ll do to my brother…” she answers.
“And what’s that?” Lucas asks.
“You’ll kill him,” she says bluntly.
“And how do you know we won’t just kill you instead?” I ask.
Her gaze shifts back to me. “I don’t know that. But I do know in societies like these, codes of conduct are everything. And I haven’t done anything wrong. I’m not even a member of Shadow and Ash. So you’d have no grounds to kill me.”
She’s not wrong. Business with the Burning Crown can get violent and bloody, but there are strict rules that we’re obligated to abide by—rules passed down from generation to generation. It’s the reason we’ve survived for over a hundred years.
Lucas flicks his chin at Eve. “Wait in the hallway. We need to talk this over.”
She glances down at her sweater, but before she can grab it, I stop her. “Leave it. If you’re going to be our whore, then get used to being naked.”
She folds her arms over her chest, and my gaze follows her as she walks across the room and out the door. As soon as she’s gone, Lucas turns to the group. “Well, what do you guys think? I vote no.”
I roll my eyes at my brother. Of course, he’d vote no. He’s so wrapped up in Wyn, I’m sure Eve is the last thing he wants to deal with right now.
Jackson shrugs. “I say yes. We could keep her for a while,thenkill Sin. Sounds more fun than just killing him outright.”
Ash nods. “We might actually get information out of her, too, which could prove valuable.”
Lucas shifts on his feet, and I can tell he’s itching to finish this conversation so he can get back to Wyn. “But we risk letting a viper into our den…”
Ash scoffs. “You just saw her—she’s terrified. What damage could she do? We take her phone, cut off her contact with the outside world…” He shrugs. “Easy.”
“Yup, and we could make it known that we have her. Send Sin photos and shit. Twist the knife…” Jackson adds.
I walk over to the desk and grab a blunt out of the drawer. The weed hits my bloodstream quickly, and my muscles instantly relax. I lower myself into one of the leather chairs, tilt my head back, and allow the smoke to escape my open lips.
I won’t lie, I’ve thought about Eveevery fucking daysince our encounter in the psych building. She smells so fucking delicious, and the way her body moves just does something to me. I can’t fucking explain it.
Eve Savano intrigues me, and I haven’t been intrigued for a very,verylong time.
I blow out another billow of smoke. “If she wants to pay for her brother’s sins. Then, I say, we let the bitch pay…”
