CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE
Eli
A strange sensation tickles the back of my neck. Itâs a feeling I know all too well, since Iâve caught Rebecca watching me more than once. Looking in her direction will only lead to thoughts Iâve been trying to block all morning.
I know she has questions; itâs been on her expression since we woke up. Right now, however, I donât have the answers sheâs seeking. I donât trust myself to give her the explanation she deserves. Answering honestly when my thoughts are still jumbled would be cruel. It will come out wrong, no matter how I try to explain it.
I started what I started because I want her. I want her so badly my dick hurts, but we have a baby to think about. And the baby is the only thing that matters right now. Last night might not be a mistake, but it wasnât a wise decision on my part either. I played with her feelings, and I messed with our future. Risking it when things have been so good was a fail on my part.
Giving her answers right now when the answers donât even make sense to me, will only cause more harm.
From the corner of my eye, I watch her stumble and grip the table, her complexion pale. I take a step in her direction, but Reidâs scream pulls my attention away.
âGet away from me, you freak,â Reid cries once more.
I gently drop Jasmine to her feet and watch as she runs over to Maddox. Hayden, decked out in black shorts, a black blazer, and a white T-shirt, holds a whip up before slashing it through the air, landing the feathered tip to the floor at his feet.
âWho the fuck gave her a whip?â I ask.
âThereâs a bag full of the shit in the donation box,â Jaxon answers, dropping the box on the table.
The whip whistles through the air once more, hitting Reid on his bicep.
I grimace. âShit!â
The whip leaves an angry red welt on his arm.
âWhat are you doing?â Reid growls. âThat hurts.â
âI heard you like it rough,â she mocks, without her normal sass.
âJesus, Iâm going to get some fresh air,â Jaxon hisses. âI canât take another minute of them bickering.â
âYeah, Iâll join you. Harry should be arriving soon with the last shipment, but thereâs something I need to talk to you about.â
He jerks his chin and I follow him out, ignoring the ball and chain handcuffed to Reidâs wrist.
I donât want to know what that has been used for.
The heat engulfs us the second we step outside. He heads to his truck, flipping the back down before jumping up and taking a seat.
âFuck, thatâs hot,â I hiss as I take a seat next to him.
âWhatâs up?â
âI think I might know why Liam is no longer taking payment for his services on the Black situation.â
His body tenses, and he goes on alert. âWhat do you know?â
I run down everything Rebecca told me and give him a moment to absorb the information. Last night, with Rebecca in those skimpy clothes, I couldnât really process anything else.
