My eyes widen as I can see how Hoodoo could think that I’m having doubts about him, but that’s not the case at all. I am having doubts that he’s in the same place I am. We haven’t even said what this relationship officially is, so how can I tell him I love him if we’re not an official couple?

“What are we? Where are we emotionally? I just… I don’t know if we’re at the same place, and it… scares me.”

He inhales through his nose as he stares at me. “Thank you for being honest with me… and now I am going to be honest with you. You want to know where I’m at emotionally, kitten? Youterrify the fuckoutta me in thebestpossible way. I’ve never known any kind of feeling I get like I have when I am with you.” He leans in closer, pressing his forehead against mine. “I love you, Maxxy.”

My pulse skyrockets, and my stomach flips as my bottom lip trembles. “You do?” It comes out as a breathy whisper.

He chuckles. “So fucking much.”

The brightest smile lights my face as I lean forward, crashing my lips to his. I have never wanted him more in my life as he leans into me, edging me back on the bed, and moving on top of me. The fact he loves me too means more than I ever thought it could.

My clit throbs so intensely—I need him, all of him—and I begin to pull his cut off over his shoulders…

There’s a knock at his door.

We pull apart, and Hoodoo lets out a heavy groan. “Fuck off!” he yells, and I giggle, continuing to pull his cut over his shoulders, his lips returning to mine, his cock pressing against my pussy as he grinds against me, causing me to let out a slow moan.

“Hoodoo, you’re gonna wanna come out here. Selene is here with her husband, Trap, and a dead body,” Raid calls through the door.

What the fuck!

My eyes widen as we break apart, Hoodoo jumping off me as we scurry to get off the bed. Hoodoo pulls his cut up over his shoulders, and we race for the door, but I am the first there and yank it open with force.

Raid stands there with a somber expression as I glare at him. “What the fuck do you mean?”

He clears his throat and shrugs. “Hurricane was talking with Cain, and he needed disposal of a body quickly, so we offered up La Fin. We didn’t expect Selene and Trap to be the ones bringing in said body.”

Hoodoo puffs out his chest and surges forward. “I’m going to fucking kill her myself. Maybe I’ll feed her to La Fin while we’re at it?”

I reach out, placing my hand on his chest. “Stop! We still have time to figure this out. Raid, has there been any progress?” I ask, and he shakes his head.

“Nothing, but while she’s here, I’ll try to see if I can access her cell by being in close proximity. It’s a long shot, but it might be the break we need.”

Hoodoo grips his shoulder. “Do everything you can. We’ll keep them distracted and here as long as possible.”

“Got it! But you better get out there before they dump the body and run,” Raid suggests.

We take off, making our way out back, where I see Bayou and City taking a wrapped-up body into the soundproof shed where theyneed to prepare the body for La Fin. Selene and Trap stand at the front of the shed, and we nod at Raid, who grabs his tech gear and hangs back while Hoodoo and I make our way over to where they stand, obnoxiously waiting.

Selene spots me first, a wide smile lighting her face. “Maxxy, I had no idea you’d be here, but it’s great to see you. I know I’m going to be seeing alotmore of you. I havebigplans for us.”

Trap wraps his arm around her shoulder, pulling her to him as I curl up my lip. “I haven’t made any firm plans yet, Selene.”

“Tick-tock, time’s running out for you to make a decision. And if you don’t make the right one, well… what’s happening to that body in there will end up happening to you if you don’t come work for me—”

“Is that a threat?” I blurt out.

“No, ladybug, just the truth. You won’t last in prison, and they’ll be carrying you out in a body bag because I won’t be there to protect you like last time.”

Hoodoo steps forward in a hurry, right up in Selene’s face, but Trap places his hand on Hoodoo’s chest to stop him from getting too close. “You fucking come for Maxxy, you’ll have to come through the club, throughme.”

Selene shrugs. “I don’t have a problem with that. I always get what I want… don’t I, baby?” she states, turning to Trap.

He chuckles, nodding his head. “Fuck yeah, you do. I wouldn’t mess with her. Hell, she scares me. So if Selene says you’re coming to work for her, Maxxy… you better believe you’re coming to work for her. And I know the Bachelors will absolutely enjoy havingyouaroundif you know what I mean?”

I widen my eyes at his insinuation.

Hoodoo’s face turns red, and he pulls me behind him dramatically, then doesn’t hold back, drawing his fist back and slamming it into Trap’s jaw.
