“I’m fine, just getting used to this lifestyle,” she says, and I raise a brow at her.
“You know you don’t have to get used to it. You don’t have to be a part of it.”
Looking over her shoulder, I see Darragh stuff Tim into Callum’s SUV, as Callum produces a bag of cable ties. Cian has the front passenger-side door of Harper’s ride already open, and I grit my teeth at the opportunistic asshole.
“Maybe I want to, Sullivan. I’m no longer the naïve girl who thinks being a fucking prostitute will save her from the evils of this town. No more fear from me—I want to be the one who is feared. I want men to fall to their fucking knees when they see me coming.”
I suck my lips into my mouth so I don’t laugh, but she looks so fucking adorable, kind of like a Chihuahua when they come at you. They might be savage, but they’re not the most scary type of dog.
“Okay, you will be a feared killer in no time, Love. Do you want to tag along to the Inventory, or should we take you home first?”
She thinks it over, knowing what went down the last time she was there. “I want to come.”
With that decided, I lead her over to her brand-new car. It really should be deemed a road hazard—it could literally blind someone it sparkles so much.
She climbs into the driver’s seat, and I slide into the back behind her.
“Just follow Callum,” Cian says.
Harper nods and reverses, giving me a cute smirk when she looks over her shoulder. Cian places his hand on her thigh as she pulls out behind her security. My eyes stay glued to his hand, wishing it were mine. I’m addicted to this woman, and though I haven’t wanted to push her, I need her long term—we all do. We just need her to feel safe with us. I haven’t told the others she let me inside her, but after what I saw this morning between her and Ronan, I think things might be slowly getting better for her.
“Oh god, Cian,” Harper mumbles. In the few seconds I zoned out, his hand slipped between her legs.
“I don’t want to die, asshole,” I snap as the car swerves a little before she rights it.
Cian laughs and removes his fingers from her tight little pussy, bringing them to his mouth and moaning as he sucks her taste off, all while looking at me from his visor mirror. I shake my head and huff.
“You’re an asshole,” I snap, and Harper giggles. It’s nice to hear her laughing, though she is nowhere near the person she was before, and the ghosts are still present behind her eyes.
My palms are sweaty as I grip the steering wheel. My mindset needs to change—I won’t ever go back to being that naïve girl, and I won’t allow myself to be put in that position again.
I should continue attempting to run from the guys. But when I really think about it, with what I witnessed in the butcher shop, and then them covering up the accident for me with the cops, they can’t let me go. Isn’t there some Mafia rule like leave no witnesses behind? Besides, the new badass me believes: if you can’t beat them, join them. And with three-and-a-half Irish men standing behind me—I say half because with Darragh, it really depends on the day—I can be one badass bitch.
My phone rings and Dolly’s name flashes on the screen. Before the guys can comment, I swipe to answer the call and it connects to Bluetooth.
“Hey biatch, how is that beautiful nephew of mine?”
Dolly’s voice comes loudly over the speakers. “I wouldn’t know. Every time I turn around, Enzo’s father has him,” she says with a laugh. “And my nipples feel like they’re going to fall off. Harps, do you remember the one time we?—”
“I remember.” I cut her off before she can say any more.
“Harper,” Cian singsongs, “what was your friend going to say?”
“HARPER—you do not have me on speaker phone right now! Talking about my nips, Jesus, shit, fuck. Cian, we used nipple clamps this one time and Harps almost ripped her nipple off. It must feel like that, the skin, it’s bad.”
Sullivan snorts from the back seat and Cian leans over to grab my tit, but I swat him away. “Stop it. My nipples are not sore now, Cian.”
“Anyway, I’m calling because my sister is a tremendous pain in my ass. She would like me to remind you about a date with some kid.”
“I will get it sorted. It will give me a chance to spend some time with Ronan, since he promised Pixie it would be okay. He can be the one to clear it with Enzo.”
Jordyn laughs. “Trust me, right now Enzo will agree to anything. He is trying to be a hero, and he wakes up for all of Mars’s feeds. It’s cute.”
“He is hot as fuck. It’s a shame about his bloodline,” Cian quips to Dolly, and she laughs.
“Same could be said about you,” she fires back. “Are you serious about my girl?”
“Serious enough that if she runs, I’ll chase her to the ends of the earth.”
