“Where’d the rat go?” I demand as we all start running to the cars.
“I don’t want him anywhere near this shit,” Roan grinds out. “It’s bad enough you guys are involved.”
Guilt bangs around inside my heart and I wish it were just me dealing with this shit. But family isn’t like that. The Hoodlums are family and family sticks together. I’d tried once before to do things on my own, and it ended badly. Now, I’ve got all of these assholes on my team. As much as it stresses me out, I’m thankful. I’m not sure I could hold my shit together on my own.
“I’m headed to the shop,” I tell Roan.
“We got your back.” Roan slaps my shoulder and bounds off after Terrence and Cal. The three of them climb into Cal’s truck and I hop into my car.
I peel out ahead of them and turn onto the road toward Juno’s shop. They head in the opposite direction. The entire drive there, I plan out all the ways I’d love to kill Renaldo. My favorite scenario is burning him alive.
When I arrive at the shop, I find several thugs waiting on me. Not Renaldo or Kayden. That’s okay. I anticipated this. Quickly, I shoot off a text and then shove my phone into my pocket.
Juno emerges from the shop as I climb out of the car. He rushes me, slamming his fist into my face.
“You stupid sonofabitch!” he snarls. “Of all the bitches you had to stick your dick into, it had to be her!”
I dodge another punch, but the third one hits me in the gut.
“You’re fucking my shit up with Renaldo,” Juno snarls. “How the fuck is he supposed to trust his partner when his partner’s little brother is sleeping with his brother’s girlfriend?”
He punches me again, but I tackle him. I land a few hits of my own before the thugs yank me off, shoving a gun against my temple. They pat me down and steal my phone. Juno laughs when he stomps it to pieces.
“Put him in the back. Let’s go. Renaldo’s waiting.”
I don’t fight my attackers because where Renaldo is, so is Roux. I’ll do whatever it takes to get to her.
A thug hops in the front of the SUV and my brother sits shotgun. I sit wedged between two assholes with a gun digging painfully into my neck. Each bump, I cringe wondering if he’ll accidentally pull the trigger.
The trip doesn’t take but fifteen minutes and I let out a breath of relief when I recognize where they’re taking me. Renaldo’s house. This is good. They park the SUV and I’m dragged from the vehicle into the house. Inside, there are several people standing around the sofa.
My eyes dart to Renaldo.
In his arms is my fucking girl.
Crying and terrified.
His pussy brother Kayden paces nearby but doesn’t intervene on her behalf.
“Let her go,” I bark out, fighting against my captors.
Renaldo’s evil glare locks on mine. “This bitch is gonna get you killed.”
“Your beef is with me, asshole, not her. Let her fucking go,” I growl.
Renaldo yanks her back against his chest, forcing her legs apart and pinning them with his own. Tears roll down her cheeks and her chest shudders with each breath she takes. He has a gun pressed to her temple.
“You did all this shit for a piece of teenage pussy,” Renaldo snarls in disgust. “You’re so fucking stupid.” With his free hand, he yanks her dress up. Her panties have been removed. I want to crush his skull in for exposing her like this. Slowly, he slides the barrel of the gun down to her pussy, rubbing it between the lips there. She sobs uncontrollably. “Must be really fucking magical to have both you and my brother so fucking twisted up over it. Maybe I ought to fuck it to see what the fuss is all about. Let your brother fuck it too. If it’s so damn magical, everyone in this room should have a turn.”
She tries to force her legs closed, but his words stop her.
“Keep ’em open, baby, or I’ll blow your boyfriend’s fucking head off.”
My sweet girl spreads her legs again, her whole body shaking wildly. He turns the gun, easing the barrel inside of her. I’m sickened to the point I grow dizzy. I can’t fucking watch him do this to her.
“Look what a good girl she is,” Renaldo praises. “Taking this gun like it’s a dick.”
I tear my gaze from the act, desperately seeking out the only person in this room who might give a shit about her. Kayden. His face is horror-stricken as he watches his brother abuse his girlfriend. He glances at me, fear shining in his eyes.
“Don’t look at him,” Renaldo snaps at his brother. “He’s the one who was fucking your girl, remember? Get the fuck over here.”
