“What the fuck were you doing with her?” He bumps his chest into mine.
I take a step back, lifting my hands. It’s been one hell of a day, and I’m not in the mood to fight. Not like this. Not here.
“He wasn’t with her.” I hear April snap from behind me. “She sent him a video …”
“April.” I shake my head, my way of telling her to sit down and shut the fuck up
“He saved her life!” she yells, not listening.
“April!” I shout.
“Sit your ass down, bitch!” Trey yells at her.
I turn back to face him, fist my hand, and punch him in his fucking face. So hard it shoves him back through the sliding glass doors. I walk outside but am shoved to the side. Bones comes to stand beside me and pulls his gun out of the back of his jeans
Trey steps up to the barrel. “Are you going to start a war over a whore?” he asks.
My brother cocks the gun. “Are you?”
Trey pulls his shoulders back and looks at me. Then at April. His dark eyes run up and down her body, lingering on her chest. It makes my blood boil knowing he’s thinking of her the way he was taught. Like the woman in the photo hanging in their office. He raises his right hand and rubs his chin, his lips turning up at the corner. “Did Grave tell you that my sister sucked his dick that night? Right before you found him unconscious on the floor.”
My body tenses. They know exactly what we did because there are cameras in there. I’m sure the fucker watched it.
April doesn’t say anything, but I can feel her anger instantly. Like a fire at my back, heating my skin. I stay facing Trey. As long as she’s behind me, they’ll have to go through me first.
He takes a step toward me. Bones keeps the gun pointed at him, ready to fire if need be. “And did he tell you that she drugged his drink?”
“Trey!” I snap.
“Is that true?”
I expected that question from April, but it came from my brother. I ignore him.
Trey laughs as his eyes land back on mine. “They expected you to be fucked up, so they never even questioned it.” He looks at April. “But you? You, of all people, I thought you’d give him the benefit of the doubt.” He looks her up and down again, this time licking his lips. “You were the name he called out while she was on her knees. And I’d like to know why.”
I lunge at him. My body hits his so hard that it knocks the wind out of me. We hit the concrete sidewalk, and I don’t even think. I just start pounding on his face. No way in hell will I let him touch her. He’s already sent his men after her once. It won’t happen again.
My fist hits the side of his face, and blood splatters the sidewalk. “Fucking touch her and I’ll saw your fucking hands off!” I warn.
I go to hit him again, but I’m yanked back by Titan. He shoves me to the side. I wipe the sweat off my forehead with the back of my bloody hand.
Tanner leans down and picks up his dazed brother. “Get the fuck out of here,” he growls.
“We have a deal!” I shout at him, and I want to know that he’s going to honor it.
He nods. “We have a deal.” Then he drags his brother back through the double glass doors into the hospital.
I’m gasping for breaths. My hand hurts, and I’m fucking tired. “Fuck!” I shout, turning around to look for April. “April?” I call out when I don’t see her.
“She went to the car with Emilee,” Titan reassures me.
I go to step off the sidewalk to the parking garage when Bones slaps his hand to my chest. “Was that true?”
I take in a long breath. “Why the fuck do you care?”
He sighs heavily, putting his gun away. “Grave …”
“I’m just a druggie with a death wish.”
APRIL
“Come on,” I say, helping Grave into his house. I had to drive him home from the hospital. His hand is swollen, and he hasn’t said it, but I know he’s hurting. He hit the concrete hard.
I was so pissed at him when the guy announced what Grave and Lucy did. And then he just kept going on, and I
