Chapter Twelve – Giselle

Damian picked me up when I called him, and on the way back to the house, I contacted Shay. Damian was going to have his crew take care of Rocco’s car so Ezekiel could open the church to the public. Rocco was still in his basement, alive—for now. Might need more info from him later.

My plan was to meet with Shay, see where we could go from there, and then call the guys, tell them the news. Everybody except Zander. I was still a little miffed at him, so I wanted to keep him in the dark for as long as possible.

Call me spiteful. Whatever.

Damian was wide awake even though the hour was late. Or early, depending on how you looked at it. He must’ve injected caffeine straight into his veins. I, myself, was dragging a bit, but the news about the Cobra would keep me awake a while longer yet.

“Learn what you needed to?” he asked.

“I learned a lot.” As much as I wanted to tell Damian the whole truth, I needed to speak with Shay first. This was her secret. If I was hiding something like this, I’d want the person who found out to come straight to me out of courtesy.

“Is the asshole dead, then?”

I looked at him, knowing what Damian assumed I’d say. “Not yet.”

“Not yet? Baby girl, why not? He should be eating lead right now.”

“We might need him yet. As much as I want to see him dead, we’ll have to keep him around just in case.” He would be useless to us for any new plans of Miguel, but that wasn’t to say there wasn’t more he knew and hadn’t told us.

“It’s your decision. Just don’t ever leave me in a room alone with him, because I can promise you, only one of us would come outta that room alive.” He spoke so matter-of-factly about how he’d kill Rocco for me, and it stirred something within me, something I’d been dealing with a while—ever since I agreed to team up with Damian to take Miguel down.

Damian made these confessions, these declarations, so effortlessly, it was impossible to not believe him. It was like the moment he’d had his men bring me into that house, I became his. His to take care of, his to protect… his to want and barely hold back from.

We were stopped at a red light when I whispered, “Damian?”

He turned his face toward me. “What is it?”

I acted before I could overthink things. I leaned over the empty space between our bodies and pressed my lips to his, kissing him to show him just how much he’d come to mean to me.

Damian’s mouth tasted like smoke and desire all rolled into one. He must’ve been stunned, at first, because it took a few seconds for him to kiss me back—but once he did, oh, once he did it was all over.

His hand left the steering wheel only to curl around the base of my neck. His
