My eyes fell to the black stairs and the red stains on his Converse shoes. Unlike the rest of the combat-wearing darkknights, an old pair of Chucks was always on his feet. They reminded me that bits of him were not for sale.
“One sec.” He leaned close, his hot lips kissing the side of my neck. I would decide later if I’d accept his apology, but for now, I needed his help.
Wolfe stormed onto the platform, scanning the bodies before grabbing Rinley and literally pulling him out of whatever he was thrusting into.
“What the fuck, man?” he whined, his dick hanging free.
“What do you mean,what the fuck?” Wolfe growled, yanking the monster as if he weighed nothing, and dragging him toward the ledge. “Who is down there?”
“What?” Rinley blinked, trying to find his bearings in a sea of bodies.
“Right there. Who isthat? Because I think, correct me if I’m wrong. It’s your naked, fucking, pregnant wife.”
Wolfe shoved his head down, half his body dangling over the edge.
“Do you need a closer look?”
“What about her, man?” Rinley twisted uselessly in Wolfe’s grasp.
“I am not yourman,” Wolfe ground out. “Is there a reason your dick is not inside her?”
I smiled, making Threx’s head turn.
He did not like it when I smiled at Wolfe.
Good.
“What?” Rinley scoffed, still not understanding the question. “She knows how it goes!”
“Fuck you.” Wolfe kicked him hard in the stomach. “She is sick, and she needs to go to the hospital. But you didn’t know that, did you?”
He landed another blow, and Rinley keeled over, gasping for air.
“She could have died while you were plowing some infected piece of ass.”
“She is fine, man.”
“I told you,” Wolfe’s fist hit Rinley’s teeth with a bloody splatter. “I am notyour man. And you know what? I’m beginning to think you are not hers either. You can’t even take care of her.”
“What are you talking about? Molls and I have been together forever.” Rinley’s bleary eyes went wide with panic when he caught the warning in Wolfe’s tone.
“And yet, forever hasn’t taught you a goddamn thing. But don’t worry, she’s a club wife, and we take care of our own. Maybe Blade or Nathem could look after her and the kid, huh? Their dicks are clean.”
“No!” Rinley tried a pathetic swing, but Wolfe stepped aside easily.
“What the fuck do you mean,no?”
“I mean… NO fucking way are those assholes touching my woman.” Rinley stood, tucking himself into his pants. “She is mine!”
“Oh, really?” Wolfe jerked him back by the hair, locking into his eyes. “Then fucking act like it. Get her ass to the hospital and don’t leave until she has a care plan and something Jace can follow. Do you understand me?”
“Yeah.” Rinley swallowed hard.
“And you better treat her like a goddamn princess, or I’ll make good on my decision to allow someone else a shot. Now go.”
Rinley coughed, his feet barely shuffling under him as he lunged for the stairs, stopping dead in his tracks when he saw me on the other side of the rail.
“Fucking hellcat,” he spat, a clump of snot and mouth juice landing on my arm. I gagged, wiping it on the wall. “Should have known you had something to do with this!”
