Aiden

Leaving Dahlia Rose downstairs, alone, chained to a bed and half-naked makes my skin crawl. But it’s well after noon, and she needs to eat. Hell, so do I. With enough coffee in me to kill a horse, I’m jittery and my head is pounding.

At the small table in the main room, Sylvio and Paulie are talking to Ricci on video over the hardline—the only signal allowed out of this place. “How are you goin’ to find Mickey?” Sylvio asks.

I quiet my movements so I can hear his response. “I have his tirapeidi, Noah Healy, in my private office as we speak. The man…will not have all of his teeth when I am through with him, but he will be able to deliver this message.”

Shit. Noah might be Mickey’s lackey, but he doesn’t deserve to have one of Ricci’s goons pull out his teeth. No one does.

As I slather peanut butter and jelly on four slices of bread, Ricci clears his throat. “Get Ms. Ryan to talk. If her father doesn’t offer himself up in the next thirty-six hours, I still want those jewels, and I don’t care what you have to do to get them.”

A chill runs down my spine, and I glance over at Sylvio and Paulie. Their lecherous gazes are fixed on a still shot of Dahlia from the video. “No problem, capo. We’ll get the information. One way or another.”

Sylvio ends the call, and I slam the cabinet door shut, then pick up the plate. “No one touches her. No one but me.”

“We’ll see,” Sylvio says with a jerk of his head towards the basement door. “I know you have a hard-on for her, Aiden, but don’t let that get in the way of doin’ your fuckin’ job.”

“It won’t.”
