I roll my eyes.
“Do I want to know?” Vito asks.
“Nope.” Lincoln grins looking far too satisfied with himself.
He’s earned it.
I push back the shiny paper and take a large bite of the bagel. The gooey sandwich hits just right. I munch happily.
“Thanks,” I mumble through my mouthful. “You’re a star, viper.”
“That’s me.”
The bagel is perfect to help me regain energy after having been taken to heaven and back by Lincoln.
I’m not telling my brother that.
I think he guesses.
Lincoln pushes himself to his feet, smoothing down his suit and checking that he hasn’t dirtied his knees.
“You look good,” I reassure him. “The suit’s fine.”
“It’s expensive,” he mutters. “I can’t ruin it on my first day.”
Vito whistles. “You look badass like you’re from a Tarantino movie. Have I told you how much I’m loving your new clothes?”
Vito’s a good man. He was always kind to Lincoln.
Lincoln puffs out his chest. “Perk of the job.”
“Hmm.” Vito’s gaze clouds with concern, as it slides to mine.
On Saturday, Lincoln filled Vito in on everything that he told me about his new job, which starts this morning.
Vito was as outraged as me and equally determined to be in on the mission to save OG, the male Omega in the Saints’ basement.
He’s also concerned, however, that Lincoln is safe and doesn’t take unnecessary risks.
Unfortunately, we both know Lincoln too well.
“Here.” Vito strolls across the kitchen and passes the second bagel to Lincoln.
Lincoln grins. “Thanks, little viper.”
Vito scrunches up his nose. “Hey, stop calling me that. I’m older than you.”
“Little viper,” Lincoln repeats, taking a quick bite of his bagel like he thinks Vito may steal it back.
I hide my laughter by taking a bite of my own bagel.
Vito blinks, looking unsure of what to say, before he tries to draw himself up (he’s never going to be as tall as Lincoln). “I’m an Alpha.”
Lincoln’s gaze becomes dangerous, as he tilts his head. He turns to Vito, crowding him against the counter.
Vito knocks over the muffins.
For the first time, I realize what a truly powerful man Lincoln has become. Although, he was always powerful. It’s simply obvious to the world now.
