Chapter Ten Scott

Thea had sprinted upstairs, pulled on her clothes, and gotten dressed before I could even work out what was happening. I was still holding my coffee like a defensive shield as Mark stormed toward me, his face flashing with fury as he closed in on me. I heard the front door shut as Thea made a break for it, leaving me to deal with the blowback of whatever was about to happen next.

"What the fuck was my sister doing here?" Mark demanded, barely even noticing the fact that she had just run out of here like her ass was on fire.

"Mark, I appreciate that you care about your sister, but it’s really none of your business," I told him, doing my best to keep my voice calm. His face was turning beet red, and he looked like he was about to blow a fucking vein right there in my kitchen. I didn’t even know what he was doing in here, why he had decided to storm into my house without knocking.

"None of my business?" He spat back.

I could hear the fury in his voice, and honestly, it kind of surprised me. In all the time I had worked with him, I had never seen this side of him. He had always been deferent to me, not wanting to piss me off or upset me—but now, it was like he wanted to tear my head from my shoulders.

"Yeah, what I do in my private life is—"

"Your private life matters when you’re pulling my sister into it," he spat. "Where did you meet her? At the opening of the casino?"

I decided to nod along. Better than telling him the truth. I was sure he would freak out even harder if he found out this had been going on longer than that.

"I can’t believe you would go anywhere near her," he snapped. "Thought your type would be—well, different than someone like her."

"Why?" I fired back. I figured he wouldn’t appreciate it if I pointed out how damn hot his sister was, but he couldn’t be that oblivious to it, could he? I couldn’t have been the first guy he knew who had hit on his sister.

"Because she’s innocent to all of this," he replied, shaking his head. "She doesn’t know anything about your world. And I don’t want her to."

"You’re the one working with me," I pointed out, cocking an eyebrow. I could see him growing angrier as he stood before me, clearly having a tough time controlling how much he wanted to go at me right now, but he knew better than to do anything like that. No matter how tempted he might have been, no matter how mad he was about what had happened between his sister and me, he still knew the power I had in this city, and he wasn’t going to invite more trouble than he needed to right in his lap.

"Yeah, working with, nothing else," he replied. "I didn’t want you getting anywhere near my family—she's the only fucking family I have left.
