Jace

Eighteen Years Old

Sweat dripped like a leaky faucet down Jace’s back, his shirt drenched from the adrenaline that pumped overtime, shame oozing from his pores.

Steven yanked on the straps of Jace’s backpack, jerking Jace forward, their noses close to touching.

The stench of greed and corruption filled Jace’s nostrils.

“See, that wasn’t so hard, was it?” Steven said, his voice hard, words a threat. “You pick it up here. You take it across town and let me know when it’s delivered. Nothin’ to it.”

Disgust twisted up Jace’s face, the weight of what Steven had just placed in his backpack feeling like a million pounds.

Or maybe the fucking world.

“Hard? We all know you take the easy way out. You don’t give a shit about anything but money and the fastest way to get it.”

Jace should have kept his mouth shut. But he couldn’t stop it. Couldn’t stop the spill of hatred from his tongue.

Steven cracked a menacing grin. “Didn’t your mama ever tell you to work smarter, not harder. Although, I have to admit, I don’t mind working her over nice and hard.”

Nausea swirled in Jace’s stomach, and he knew the piece of shit was baiting him. “You think I give a shit about her?”

A cool, wicked arrogance seeped from Steven. “No. I don’t. We all know what’s important to you. Who is. You wouldn’t want your poor little brother to have to pay for your mistakes now, would you?”

Jace gulped around the bile that climbed this throat. He had to physically will himself not to throw up on Steven’s shiny fucking shoes. Showing weakness was not going to win him any points.

And Steven had already found his.

Ian and Joseph. Ian and Joseph.

Steven grinned as if he’d watched their faces play out like a plea in his eyes. He clapped Jace on the shoulder. “That’s what I thought. Now go make that delivery, like a good little boy.”
