“Why would she? You had sex with her You called her by her stage na money, started to make a name for yourself when you took over Novak’s action, did you ever think to ask her if she wanted more? Nassir too He took over the club froe He never offered her anything more If he had, she would have handed herself over to him without question All she wants is someone to value her”
He grunted and popped the locks in a sleek and modern sports car It was so different fro around in recently that I alh, so I stopped myself just in time Green eyes locked on me over the top of the car and Race’s voice was contemplative when he asked, “How do you know that’s what she wants? I thought you two didn’t like each other Nassir said you tried to kick her ass a feeeks ago when Titus took you to the club”
I blew out a breath that had so back toward my face
“I know because I am her We’re from the saht the same battles, and I know all I wanted was someone to value me, all of me”
“Titus” It wasn’t a question
I lifted a shoulder and let it fall “He doesn’t approve of soive me the ability to see all of hiives ht to try and hold on to him when he wants to break loose”
I pulled the door open as Race gave a dry laugh “I always knew big brother had ry at hier that he made him out to be a monster I always trusted Titus with my life, but I knew underneath the surface there lurked soets the luxury of being one thing We all have our hands in different cookie jars hoping that at the end of the day we don’t get caught in any of them”
The car stared with a low purr, far quieter and less angry than the noise the GTO made Race and I were silent on the rest of the way to the club, and when he parked around back he leaned across frolove box in front of me I recoiled a little because I was still juet rid of it like yesterday
“I don’t usually carry a gun, but soht make it necessary” The weapon disappeared behind his back and under his sweater as we cli It was so radation It was so gaudy and ugly it hurt to look at I couldn’t believe soed it yet And I told Race that
He reement as he punched a security code into a pad and aopen
“Nassir doesn’t care He ended up here by default after the Pit burned down He’s only here until he rebuilds his club”
“That’s duirls, he invests in theive them someplace they can be proud of This still feels like it did when Novak used it as a brothel and a betting house Nassir should put a little bit of the irls oing to be a strip club, but I didn’t see why it couldn’t be a nice strip club
Race led the way to the office and lifted his hand to knock on the door Before his fist connected he shot me a hard look “Reenda in everything he does”
I lifted an eyebrow “So do you”
