The third guy looks much like a heavyweight boxer, with huge muscles and very large hands. His blonde hair is close-cropped, with striking blue eyes and a nose that appears to have been broken too many times.
All three men look like handsome devils who could ruin your life…just in different ways.
I bring my knees up to my chest defensively as I size them up.Who are they and what am I doing here?
“Who are you?” I give voice to my thoughts. “Where am I?”
The second guy looks familiar, although I struggle to place him.
“I’m Rueben, and you’re in our house,” the first guy says, drawing my attention back to him. His face is impossibly chiseled and he has a piercing in one ear, all of this adding to his beauty.
“You are Amelia Burke, right?” dress pants guy says as he walks forward. “You’re Captain’s daughter?”
My nose scrunches. “Who?”
“William Burke.”
“How do you know my father?”
My brows crease as I look at them once again.Have I seen them before?
I cover my mouth with my hands, gasping as I connect the dots.Rueben Blake, Tanner Smith, and Josiah Cane.
No wonder he seemed familiar. Tanner’s is a face I’ve seen many times, although he is better-looking in person. He is the best known of the three, considering he is in charge of their businesses. Because of that, he was in more police reports than the others.
The other two beside him must be his lesser-known partners. Although I haven’t seen a clear picture of them before, I somewhat recognize their builds from the few times they had been photographed with Tanner.
“Don’t touch me.”
I smack Rueben’s hand from my shoulder, glaring at him with so much hate.
“Oh…” He retracts his hand from my shoulder just as I see Tanner’s expression going from neutral to very much pissed off.
Clearly, he doesn’t like the way I talked to his boss.
“What did you do to me?” I ask. Although I’m not tied up, it doesn’t change the fact that I’m in a room with the men who killed my father. My heart beats fast in my chest.
“Where are my clothes?” I clench the blanket tightly as I stare at them with wide eyes. “You perverts! Pieces of shit! Where the fuck are my clothes? What did you do?”
“We’re sorry to have startled you. Nobody touched you. You’re fine,” Rueben says, holding his hand in front of me like I’m some startled animal.
His action annoys me. He doesn’t get to act so considerate, like he’s not a terrible excuse for a human.
“Then where are my clothes?” I hope my tone shows my animosity towards them.
“We had to take them off because you were injured and covered in dirt from the explosion,” he explains.
My brows knit in confusion. “The explosion—”
Everything comes flooding back to me. Chief kneeling as he pleads for his life after betraying me, just before the wall explodes.
“Chief! Whe—”
“You were captured. Your police chief tried to sell you to a dangerous gang, but we were able to rescue you.”
“You are Sins of Man,” I say.
“Yes. We got wind of the news quickly enough that we were able to save you before Flames of Hell could get to you.”
