My cock hardened by the stark contrast of her delicate, sweet voice murmuring such deadly words. “I swear to God.”

She pushed herself up on her toes in search of my lips, and I kissed her once more. Gently. Slowly.

I was about to rip my pants off and fuck her again when there was a knock at the door. Instantly, annoyance made me ball my fists.

“What?”

The door swung open, and I turned to find Ink standing in the doorway, eyes looking straight at Alyx. “Um…”

“Ink, you better stop looking at my woman if you want to keep your fucking eyeballs.”

“Oh, fuck. Yeah.” Ink turned around. “Dude, Trick just called. We got a situation.”

I tossed Alyx my shirt, which she quickly pulled on. “What situation?”

Ink rubbed the back of his neck and turned back to face me. “Yeah, we should probably talk in private.”

“Sure. Wait for me outside.”

Ink glanced over my shoulder at Alyx, and I scowled at him.

He shrugged as if to say, ‘what?’

I frowned. “I’ll cut out your eyeballs.”

“Fine. Just hurry the fuck up, would ya?”

Ink left, and I turned to face Alyx. “I’ll be back.”

She nodded, and I kissed her on her forehead before I left.

I closed the bedroom door behind me and turned to Ink. “What’s going on?”

Ink seemed restless. “Tanit got roughed up.”

“What?”

“Yeah.”

“Is she okay?”

“Yeah, man. She’s fine. Just a few bruises. But Trick says she’s pretty shaken up.”

“Fuck!” I kicked at the fucking floor. “Pythons?”

Ink nodded, his entire face contorted with malice.

“Okay, get Onyx and Dutch. I’ll meet you guys upstairs.”

“Gotcha.”

Jesus. The Pythons seemed to have it in for our women. First Neon, and now Tanit. Just showed these fuckers didn’t have a moral bone in their goddamn bodies. We didn’t target women. We didn’t use them as pawns in our rival wars. Women were off-limits. No matter what, you never fucked with women and children.

Goddammit.

I stepped inside the room, and Alyx was sitting on the bed, waiting for me.

“I have to go sort some shit out.”
