Chapter Eight
“Since when did flowers get you all mushy?” Owen asked.
Emma watched as her brother stroked one of the rose petals. “Since I got some and they arrived today.” With a little card telling her how much he missed her.
She missed him too.
The other night, after sucking his cock, she didn’t know if she’d let him know too much of just how much she was missing him. It wasn’t even about what he could to her body either. It was so much more than that.
“What are you two doing here? Don’t you have work to do?”
“We do, but you see, we’ve got a bit of a problem.” Wyatt gripped the back of his neck, looking uncomfortable.
“What problem?” She looked between her two brothers. “Why do I feel this problem involves me?”
Again, Wyatt and Owen shared a look.
“Just tell me.”
“We got a call from Gabriel.”
Just hearing her oldest brother’s name irritated her. Since he found out he was a Denton, he’d all but abandoned them.
Of course, Wyatt and Owen didn’t see that. They still worked with him. “Just tell me.”
“Maddox has demanded punishment for Gideon.”
“Wait? What?”
“His son threatened his life, and now it has to be handled like a family. Gabriel wanted us to keep you here.”
“Punishment for threatening him. I don’t understand.” She ran fingers through her hair, feeling like she was falling apart.
“The Dentons are handling his punishment,” Owen said.
“Gabriel called us and told us to take you back home.”
She shook her head. “No. Take me to him.”
“We can’t do that.”
Emma glared at both of her brothers. “Listen to me closely. You will take me to Gideon right now. There’s no reason they should be punishing him.”
“It’s family business.”
“Clearly, you both felt I had a right to know because you wouldn’t have told me otherwise. Now get your heads out of your asses and take me to him.” She grabbed her jacket. “Don’t even try to pretend that you don’t know where it is. I know that’s bullshit.”
“Let’s go,” Owen said.
She didn’t question them until they got into the car and were out on the road.
“Why did you tell me?” she asked.
“Gabriel told us not to.”
“So? I thought you liked playing the minion for him.”
Owen put a hand to his chest. “That hurts. We’re not his minions.”
“You were going to do as you’re told.”
Wyatt snorted. “If we were going to do as we were told, we wouldn’t have said anything and just taken you out to dinner.”
“Gabriel needs to realize that just because he has a better last name doesn’t make us any less. We’re not the ones at fault for our last name. He can try to make himself believe he’s a Denton, but he’s also a Colton. He was raised a Colton, and there’s a monster inside there that has nothing to do with a Denton.”
She didn’t dispute it.
Gabriel, being the oldest of them all, had been through hell with their father. Of course, now they knew it wasn’t really Gabriel’s father, but it didn’t mean for a second that their brother hadn’t been turned.
