Chapter Twenty-Two

Dixon

“Not that I don’t appreciate the way your ass fills those jeans, princess, but we have a job to do.”

“You think this is about sex?”

Now I’m even more suspicious. She’s using that tone that I’ve only heard warnings about from other brothers who have ol’ ladies, and it means one thing: tread real fucking lightly. Has she decided to throw away our plan, and instead she’s going to kill me? I don’t know, but there is one thing I know for sure: she looks damn fine in those jeans and it’s jarring as hell having an erection while wondering if she’s going to kill me.

“It’s not? You literally just said you wanted to fuck me.”

“Metaphorically. This is about something else entirely. See, I know what you said to Reggie. Did you mean it?”

“What are you talking about? I told him I was going to teach those guys a lesson. That’s it.”

She reaches inside her shirt and slips the door key into her bra. “Don’t lie to me.”

“What are you doing?”

“I’m keeping only key right in here until I get the truth. You want out, you cut the bullshit.”

“What makes you think I’m lying?”

“Reggie. He told me what you said. Exactly what you said. Now, if you want to deny it, I suppose I could call him up and tell him you think he’s a liar. I have his number. He doesn’t live far. He’d be more than happy to come back here and correct you.”

I’ve seen Reggie fight and felt the earth quake when he stomped his feet. The man is like a furious volcano; I may not be the smartest man on earth, but I sure as fuck know not to fight a volcano.

I shake my head. “No need to call him.”

She takes a step toward me. “So, you’ll be honest?”

“This is ridiculous. Give me the key, Alexandra.”

Another step. Another spicy-sweet smile.

“The only way you get this key is by giving me what I want. Though, I suppose you could try to take it. Just reach down my shirt and grab it. Of course, there’s no guarantee that I don’t snatch your wrist and make what I did to that drunk asshole look like two kids playing at recess. I’ll break your wrist so bad you’ll never ride again. Now, are you going to tell me the truth?”

I’d rather go another round, solo, naked, with both hands tied behind my back, against Reggie than tell Alexandra what I said. That’d be crossing a line that could put everything at risk. We’ve gotten close enough as it is. What happens if the search for the truth about Lucas’s killer leads back to me?

“You already know. Reggie told you, remember?”

“You don’t know what exactly he told me. He could’ve said anything. He could’ve said you love to get into bar fights because it is the closest you can get to primal intimacy and you’re addicted to the sensation of dominating another man, making him submit to the will of your body.
