RORY

“It could be anyone,” Lexi murmured from the couch, her eyes flicking over the newbies as they were brought to our block. “There’s five. Only two are placed with us, so what are the chances of one of them being the Soldiers’ bitch?”

“Forty percent,” I muttered from beside her, earning a flat look.

“Alright, rich bitch. Put your fancy education away.”

I snickered, watching the girls get shown their new rooms. They didn’t look tough, but that didn’t mean they weren’t going to be a problem. One looked terrified, but that could have been an act. It was a good survival tactic, but it would also get her taken advantage of.

I’d called Marco and Hunter yesterday, and they’d given me a heads-up that the Soldiers were placing a woman in the prison. So now every newbie was a potential threat.

Once they were out of view, Lexi motioned to Jamie to go and play the welcoming committee like she’d done with me, and I could hear Miss Jarvis introducing her to one of the girls.

“You didn’t let Jamie be my friend, it was so she could spy on me, wasn’t it?” I asked dryly, amusement flashing in her eyes.

“Of course. It’s better to keep your eye on people. My girls don’t do anything without me okaying it first.”

“Tilly?”

“She went behind my back to approach you, but she’s not really part of the crew. I don’t drag her into drama, but we keep her safe,” she shrugged, making me scowl as she moved to straddle me.

“Get off me, hoebag.”

She chuckled, leaning closer to nuzzle my throat. “You didn’t mind me climbing all over you last night.”

“I wasn’t thinking clearly,” I huffed, knowing I’d caved easily to her last night due to my sulking about missing Caden’s birthday.

“You weren’t thinking at all once I was done with you. Pretty sure your brain stopped working for twenty minutes,” she smirked, and I rolled my eyes.

“That’s because you tried to suck my soul out of my pussy.”

“You tasted really fucking good too,” she murmured, laughing when I swatted her.

“Bryant, get off Donovan,” Miss Jarvis sighed, making us glance behind the couch to see her standing there. “I trust you’ll be nice to Roberts and Vines?”

“That will really depend on them,” Lexi scoffed, sliding off my lap to sit beside me.

“You learned to play nice with Donovan.”

“That’s because Donovan fucks me good,” she purred, glancing at the girls as they joined us. “Hey. Do you guys fuck good?”

“Bryant!” Miss Jarvis snapped, but one of the girls chuckled.

“Take me for a ride and find out. If your girl doesn’t mind, that is.”

“Vines, behave. Bryant would eat you alive,” Miss Jarvis said dryly, Vines only smirking.

“I fucking hope so.”

The other girl, who must have been Roberts, watched us nervously and shook like a fucking chihuahua, not saying a word. Jamie rolled her eyes at us, but took the shaking girl’s arm to show her around, motioning to Vines.

“Hey, come on. I’ll give you the tour before lunch.”

Vines raked her gaze over Lexi one last time before leaving, and Miss Jarvis sighed as she left too, knowing the newbies were going to be trouble.

“I don’t like her. Too cocky and eager,” Lexi mumbled, her eyes on their retreating backs.

“We’ll watch them both. She could just be desperate to get in with a crew, and the other could be putting on an act to avoid suspicion. It could also be one of the other three in the other block, so let’s pray it’s one of them,” I scoffed, getting to my feet to stretch.
