Chapter 14

“Tomorrow night,” I confirm, eyeing Kitten when she shoots me a curious look from where she’s eating her lunch. Thank fuck she started eating normally again after I made her listen about how it was okay to be crazy.

“Don’t be an idiot this time, ‘kay?” Val drawls on the other end.

I scoff. “I’m never an idiot, girl,” I answer.

Kitten had turned her attention back to her food, but the second the word ‘girl’ leaves my lips, her head jerks up and her narrowed eyes land on me. I throw up my free hand in surrender, widening my eyes to prove that I’m not talking to a girl.

I mean, I am, but she is not the girl. Kitten is the girl. Val is a girl. But it’s not like I’ve fucked—

Fuck. I have fucked Val, but we were both shitfaced and regretted it the second we woke up the next morning. That doesn’t count, right?

“Who is Val?” Kitten mouths, her gray eyes so narrowed they’re basically slits of pure, unadulterated hostility.

It’s so fucking sexy.

Val sniffs. “Aiden, your bitch ass is constantly fucking up our jobs. Don’t play with me.”

“I, uh…” I say, staring at Kitten while I battle an increasingly hardening dick. “I gotta go. I’ll check in with you tomorrow afternoon.”

I hang up on Val’s disgruntled complaint to my response and slap the phone down on the counter, backing away from it like the action will get me out of trouble.

“Hey, Kitten,” I say brightly. “Do you want to be a good girl and—?”

“Who is Val?” she snarls, her eyes brightening with a flare of that crazy I unleashed.

Oops.

“Val is our associate,” Zander answers, waltzing into the kitchen like the fucking Queen of Sheba or some shit. I scowl at him. “She and Aiden extract Skins when we have plans in place.” He shoots me a pointed look.

I ignore it and focus back on Kitten. Her lips have thinned in the presence of Zander, and thank fuck. That vicious look has been removed from me and transferred over to Zander.

“I don’t recall asking you,” Kitten snipes.

Zander smirks. “I don’t recall caring if you had.”

Kitten’s hand tightens around the fork in her hand, a piece of pasta still on the prongs. Zander and I notice immediately, both of us freezing in place, and I watch her with open fascination. Is this what she looked like before she killed Jack?

I almost hope not. He didn’t deserve to see Kitten looking so blazing hot before he died.

After Zander found out that I let Kitten’s crazy out, he told me I had to be responsible for her. Watching as her shoulders tense, the fork in her hand threatening to bend under her grip, I figure I should probably step in before she stabs one of us. Unfortunately.

“Kitten,” I purr. “You want to hear all about my next Skinnapping?”

Her eyes dart to mine, and after a long moment, her shoulders relax. “With Val?” she bites out, jealousy reigning her tone.

“You’ll like Val,” I promise. “She’s cool.
