Chapter Eight – Dex

Hours after my conversation with Celene, I still couldn’t quite grasp what she’d said. She liked me, but she also liked my brother and maybe Slade… and who knew who else. I didn’t know if I was hurt exactly or not, but I meant everything I told her.

Maybe I’d regret it in the future, but I couldn’t walk away from her. I couldn’t dare to pull myself back from her, from what we shared. Her confidence, her beauty, her aching familiarity. Everything about her drew me in. How could I possibly fight that?

I didn’t want to.

What I did want, however, was to talk to my brother. I had no idea if she had shared her feelings with him yet or not, but I wanted to be on top of things, to be ahead of the game, so to speak.

And Slade… I’d have a few words with him next time I saw him. In fact, I forced myself to text him and tell him that I needed to speak to him in person about something. He’d probably know why I was texting him, and he would undoubtedly try to ignore me for as long as possible, but sooner or later we’d see each other again, either at this house, or on a job for the Black Hand.

I found my brother working out, lifting weights. Our house was more than large enough to be able to dedicate an entire room to physical fitness; when you were a member of the Black Hand, you didn’t go to the gym to train or do some target practice.

I leaned in the open door frame, watching my brother do his reps. He wore no shirt, of course, along with athletic shorts. He was on the far side of the room, lifting the bar. I couldn’t see how much weight was on the metal bar, but I could imagine it was a lot. He had his phone on the floor nearby, playing some music.

I couldn’t say how long it was I watched him, but I did wonder why things had to be as they were. What was it about Jett that made Celene want him? He was an ass, and he was an even bigger ass when he didn’t get his way. Sure, he was handsome—had to admit that, since we were twins and all—but beyond his looks, he had absolutely nothing going for him. No good aspects of his personality at all. We were completely different.

As were Slade and me.

But maybe that was the point. Maybe that was why Celene felt drawn to multiple people at once. She’d claimed she was broken, so maybe those shattered pieces of her were each pulled toward someone different.

Could you love more than a single person at once? And not the familial love, not the loyalty or the love that came with sharing a bloodline. I meant the
