Stop. My wolf had had enough of the human babble.
“That’s what people with no friends say,” he countered.
Gods, this guy was pissing me off.
“Tell me that you didn’t feel a connection when we met.” It was all I had other than throwing him over my shoulder, like I did with Lottie, and stealing him away.
“I didn’t.”
Shit! “You’re lying.”
He rolled his eyes. “Look, buddy. You should download a dating app.” He put a finger to his lips. “Oh, you were looking for a friend last night. Didn’t work out, huh?” He patted my arm.
This human was insufferable.
“Please, Matt. Our happiness depends on you getting away from Dane and stopping your investigation of his mafia organization.”
Me telling Flint that Matt might help solve our problems by bringing Dane down was an illusion. It would never happen.
He frowned and took a bite of the burrito. The rain was getting heavy, and droplets of water spilled onto his jacket through the holes in the umbrella.
“Or what? You going to put a bullet in my head? Nah, intimidating omegas is more your style. Maybe you have to get your big brother to do your dirty work.”
My hackles rose, and he pulled away. I did something I wasn’t proud of. His phone was bulging in his pocket and I snatched it and added my number.
“What did you do? Did you download a tracking device?” He pushed damp hair from his brow. “And there is noouranything. Not happiness or friendship. Don’t come near me again.”
He flounced off, flicking mud on his pants as the rain drenched his suit while I was left holding a soggy burrito.
SEVEN
MATT
I got around the corner and sagged against the building, trying to get air into my lungs. The burrito that I was so looking forward to had one bite taken out and was now squished in my palm, the salsa, ground beef, and cheese oozing onto my hand. Ewww!
I was being pummeled by emotions hurtling toward me from two different directions, and my shoes and pants were soaked from the downpour.
Adrenaline spiked in my veins as I conjured up his face. I’d lied about sensing a connection with him. My mind and body wanted to connect with him. His tongue in my mouth, hands on my cock, length in my hole with legs wrapped around mine. I wanted all of him.
But he was the enemy, being the brother of the most powerful mob boss in the city or perhaps the state. Maybe the country? Was that possible?
And the flip side of the problem was that in my undercover work, Dane and the entire Obsidian Circle were beefing with La Luna Noir.
Beefing? No, that described two kids on a playground insulting one another.
My dad’s stronger than your dad.
No, mine is.
They weren’t at odds or on bad terms. They loathed one another. While there were no verified accounts of assassinations on either side, mafia organizations kept those details quiet, though both Flint’s father and grandfather had been killed by an opposing group.
Me working undercover was always fraught with difficulty, and the possibility of being unmasked grew the longer I worked for Dane. But now there was an added complication: Flint’s brother. Him knowing who I was and interfering put my life in more danger.
And what was that “I like you” crap? He was playing at high school first-love level while messing with my head and undercover work.
I entered Dane’s building after the face recognition software let me in. Rather than staying in the underground parking garage where I’d be gassed with exhaust fumes, I went to a small staff room assigned to the drivers and bodyguards. It was a small windowless room with armchairs, a cheap coffee machine, water cooler, and magazines.
Going to the bathroom required trundling down the hallway to the security guard and getting a key. Weird that the building supported modern technology but taking a pee needed an actual piece of metal.
