She was a piece of ass. That’s all it was. This golden pussy my brother couldn’t help keeping for himself. I understood the possessiveness that came from Dom. Hell, we’d all felt it at one time or another during our fucked-up lives. When you didn’t have shit growing up, you tended to get territorial real easy.
But Dom was blinded by his need for her, his arousal. He didn’t understand she was a liability, a risk to all of us. She’d seen our faces, and the fact was she could ID us to the cops. Hell, she worked at the fucking jewelry store we just robbed. I didn’t know what it was about her that drew him so irrevocably to her, but that line needed to be broken, that tether severed.
And I was going to be the one to cut it.
I should have left the house as soon as we talked about the job and payout. I should have pulled myself away from the dark temptation to finish her off and “save” my brother. Instead, I’d stayed. And that had been a mistake.
I heard Dom head out to the garage to work out and could practically smell the desire that came from him. I didn’t know if he’d fucked her yet, but if he had, it would make things even more complicated. A Preacher boy claimed hard—that was for damn sure.
Although none of us had ever claimed a woman, whatever we set our mind to we did it with everything in us. It’s why we were the way we were, why we were so good at our job. It was why being professional fucking thieves came so natural to us.
When we were focused, that was it… all bets were off, nothing could deter us. And that’s what Dom’s issue was now.
I’d handle it, and after it was all said and done, he’d see it was better this way, that I’d done him and all of us a favor.
I headed down to the basement, and when I reached the landing, I cocked my head to the left and looked at Dom’s closed bedroom door. He didn’t even fucking lock anything, not the door that led upstairs, and I knew for a fucking fact that the bedroom door was currently unlocked.
And although she wouldn’t have been able to escape, not while I was here, this lack of concern he had regarding her pissed me off. He was too lenient with her, trusted her, because he wanted between her legs.
I walked toward the door and stopped in front of it, listening. It was silent, and I imagined her sleeping, curled up in the center of his bed, unaware of the monster who stood just feet from her, only a slab of wood protecting her from me.
I reached out and grabbed the handle, turning it and then pushing the door open. I saw her sitting on the edge of the bed, her back to me, her head slightly downcast. Because of the angle, I
