CHAPTER 18

April 23, 1998:

Alexa waited with Dro in her room. Erik had requested a meeting with them about Steve. She was surprised to hear from him considering Dro’s threat at the hotel bar. Erik had taken that threat to heart in the weeks that followed. She hadn’t seen or talked to him since then. But she wasn’t exactly available to talk to either. Lei had been shot, then she was attacked outside of Victoria’s Secret soon afterward.

The word on the street was that Steve and his father were hell bent on getting to her—a fact that left them all on edge. Pop insisted she be under constant guard. One of the guys had to be with her at all times.

“Thanks for not giving me a hard time about this,” she said to Dro.

“I still don’t like it, Alexa.”

“I think we should hear what he has to say. He wouldn’t contact me if this wasn’t important. He doesn’t want to antagonize you.”

“How do you know that?” Dro asked. “He could be working with Steve.”

Alexa was sure Erik would never work with Steve, but Dro wouldn’t believe her. He suspected everyone. “Dro, just give him a chance.”

“The minute he says something out of line, I’m kicking his ass out of here. And stop worrying. I’ve never known you to be worried before.” He took her bottom lip between his and kissed her.

“I’m not worried, just concerned. Steve won’t give up—”

“Until we kill him. And that may happen sooner than later.”

“It can’t be soon enough.” She kissed him again, and they fell into a fervent embrace.

He gently nudged her on her back and climbed over her. Opening each button of her shirt slowly, he bared her body to his eyes and his kisses. He brushed his lips against her forehead, then her nose, and finally her lips. She sucked in a breath when he nibbled on her chin.

She heard a soft creek. On the far side of the room, a panel opened and Lei stepped into the room. Dro re-buttoned her blouse and rolled off of her.

“I guess it’s a good thing I walked in when I did,” Lei said. “If you’re going to have company you should be decent.”

“Whatever,” Dro growled.

“What’s up?” Alexa asked her brother.

“Erik is here,” Lei informed them. “He’s with Janine, though.”

She frowned. “Why is he with her?”

“Why do you care?” Dro asked, arching a brow at her.

She shrugged. “I don’t. I was just wondering why he brought her. We did tell him to come alone.”

“I just wanted to let you know,” Lei said. “I’ll be listening.” He disappeared behind the wall again.

Alexa jumped off the bed and walked to her mirror to straighten her hair. Her father had invested a large sum of money building little secret passageways within the house. It helped when they needed a quick escape or, mostly, to do a little dirt. Because of the passageways, her Pop had made sure Dro’s room wasn’t connected to hers since he spent a lot of time at their home.
