Chapter Seven
Tank
She was killing me slowly with all that dancing, her arms up over her head as she swayed in the middle of the club dance floor. Cheesy techno lights pulsed in time with the beat of the music as the screen behind her showed a music video of some catchy song Iâd never heard before.
Most of the girls danced with her.
Ash came and sat on the barstool next to me, whiskey in hand. âIâve never been more stressed out than in this moment.â
I snorted out a laugh. âBecause you just now realized that every single one of your cousins is drop-dead gorgeous, along with your own family, and any guy watching this would probably rub one off on the spot?â
âStop watching Annie,â he barked with a smile.
âPlease.â I rolled my eyes. âI like living, and you know I was neverâ¦we neverâ¦fuck, stop making this awkward, you dick.â
Valerian snorted out a laugh on the other side of me, only to have Ash peer around and go, âMy sister. Slept with my sister. Get me another drink, bitch.â
âIâm a boss. I donât have toââ
Ash growled.
âBut sure, yeah, okay. Good idea.â Valerian shot to his feet and walked over to the end of the bar where two bartenders were working.
âNever gonna let it go,â I murmured.
âNever.â Ashâs eyes moved back to Annie as she drunkenly leaned against Serena and laughed. âDamnâ¦be right back.â
âSure, you wonât.â I took another sip of my scotch and shook my head.
My drink was nearly gone. I should have had Valerian get me another, but I needed to stretch my legs anyway.
I was so damn tired.
Not just physically but emotionally. Mentally. I hated that I was keeping things from Kartini almost as much as I hated that it was nearly impossible not to want her despite her un-canny ability to make me want to pull my hair out and then strangle her.
My lips twitched as I walked up to the bar and set down my glass. I had to admit, it was pretty cool that besides the staff, we were the only guests there.
âWhat will you have?â The dark-haired woman turned around and grinned.
I glared, then looked down at her name tag. âJennie?â
She shrugged. âScotch? Arsenic?â
I gritted my teeth so hard I felt my jaw pop. âThe hell are you doing here?â
âWe all have our jobs, Tank.â Giana batted her eyelashes. âAnd Iâm here to finish mine.â
âThe hell you will.â I jumped to my feet.
She just shrugged. âYou have your orders. I have mine.â
âBullshit. They wouldnât send both of us.â
âThey would if they had their suspicions you would get cold feetâ¦again. Besides, when you look out there, what do you see?â
I glanced over my shoulder.
âI see criminals. Enemies. The problem with you, Tank? Youâre so pathetically starved for love that you see friends.â
âTouch any of them, and Iâll slit your throat,â I promised.
She poured me a drink and slid it toward me. âTouch me, and it will be the last time you do it, Tank.â
âIâm calling Thompsonsâ¦â
She held out her cell and pointed the screen toward me.
