Junior grabbed his chin and hauled him upright again, forcing him back into a sitting position.The guy’s eyes watered, and blood dripped down onto his shirt.
Wrecker tsked, like a disappointed teacher.“Is that how you talk to guests in your room?”
Jonas’s eyes flashed.“You broke in here—”
“You beat one of our women,” Wrecker cut in, voice sharpening, “and then you tried to kidnap her but took the wrong woman.”
Rocket flinched.
Dusty’s jaw tightened.
Wrecker leaned forward in the chair, elbows on his knees.“And the woman you took, by the way?She belongs to him.”
He pointed at me.
My blood turned to ice.
Rocket’s gaze snapped to mine.
Dusty’s eyes narrowed.
Jonas sneered like he wanted to, but the fear slipped through anyway.
“He recently got the road name Joker,” Wrecker continued, voice almost conversational, “because he is literally on the edge of freaking the fuck out and killing all three of you.”
My hands flexed at my sides.
I didn’t deny it.
Wrecker pointed at Cole.“And Cole?That’s the other one you need to worry about.His woman is the one you attacked in the parking lot.”
Cole’s expression didn’t change.But his eyes?His eyes were pure fire.
“I wouldn’t want to be any of you right now,” Pipe said calmly.
Rocket shook his head fast.“We didn’t do anything!It wasn’t us!”
I let out a short laugh, the sound sharp and ugly.“The fuck it wasn’t,” I said.
Wrecker’s gaze stayed on them.“You know, we hadn’t even heard of the Northbound Reapers until recently.But the one thing we’ve learned about you assholes in the last week is this.”He leaned in.“You’re all fucking liars.From your VP down to the bottom feeders in front of me.Just fucking liars.”
Dusty jerked his chin.“We don’t even know what you’re talking about.”
“Sure,” Cole said, his voice low.“And I’m the goddamn Easter Bunny.”
Jonas spat blood onto the bed.“We didn’t touch any women.”
That was it.
I moved.
I crossed the space in two steps and backhanded Jonas across the mouth.
Not enough to knock him out.
Enough to make him feel it.
His head snapped to the side.He tasted the truth.
