Chapter 139 Alyssa rae sits daintily on her lap , as if were Took you long enough , Christine scoffs , sliding into the backseat in a skin tight pink dress .
Her matching purse sits actually going shopping instead of plotting a break in … Kings jaw ticks , his grip on the steering wheel tightening .
I see the retort brewing on his lips , but he swallows it down .
I squeeze his hand , silently begging him : Lets just get this over with .
Please dont strangle her and toss her body out on the side of the road .
This isnt good .
Hes already this wound up , and we havent even met up with War yet .
Am I going to have to blow him in a gas station bathroom or something just to get his temper under control The thought makes my mouth water before I can shove it back into the gutter where it belong Focus , Alyssa What are you thinking about , kitten ? King asks quietly , his tone amused , but theres a razor sharp warning beneath it .
He pulls the SUV out of Grays driveway with smooth precision , his fingers Bexing on the wheel .
u to be a good boy for me today .
I glance at him , batting my lashes with feigned innocence .
How I could get you co His eyes darken instantly , the comer of his mouth twitching into a dangerous smile .
I can think of a number of ways , actually , be rumbles , his voice rougher now .
Starting with shutting up that bossy mouth of yours the way I know you love .
I almost worry about Christine overhearing our conversation , but honestly , why should I care if she does ! I hum thoughtfully .
Maybe if you behave for me , Ill let you do whatever you want to me tonight Youll regret that , he warns , his voice dropping lower .
But deal His free hand slides between my thighs like he cant stand the thought of not touching me .
It sends a thrill through my body, but I push it away .
Nows not the time to get distracted .
sync my phone to the Bluetooth and hit shuffle .
The opening notes of Granite play solily through the speakers , Vessels angelic voice grounding me in the moment .
Kings hand on my leg adds to the tether , a steady reminder of his presence .
Nothing will go wrong today .
Nothing will go wrong today .
Nothing will go wrong today .
If 1 chant that enough , can I speak it into existence ? The car remains silent .
t .
Whether everyones enjoying the music or just trying not to kill their best friends wife , I dont know , but I take it as a win Im halfway through humming along to the song when Christine decides to run it .
What the hell is this trash music ? she mutters , disdain dripping from every word .
Can we put on something elset I pause mid note , slowly turning toward King .
Pull over , Right The Fuck Now ? His lips tip with suppressed laughter as he obeys , guiding the car to a smooth stop on the shoulder .
I spin in my seat to face Christine , locking eyes with her .
Listen here , Barbie .
You ever call Sleep Token trash again , I dont care what you threaten to sell Gray youll be too dead to say a word .
Her face twists in disbelief .
Are you seriously threatening me over a band No , Im promising , I snap .
Youve called me a whore more than once , questioned my ability as a mother , made me envy a woman who , by the way , has zero interest in King maybe go look into her and Grays history and youre also blackmailing us .
But I draw the line at you talking shit about my favorite band .
Christine roll her eyes , waving me e off .
Fine .
Im sorry .
Can we go now ! 1 look at King and gesture toward the road .
Go ahead , baby As the car pulls back onto the asphalt , Masons laughter breaks the tension , low and husky in my ear .
I swear , you make me fall more in love with you every single day , little warrior In unt long before we pull into the parking lot of a rundown motel .
My stomach tightens when I spot War leaning against his bike .
Dressed in black 1/3 Chapter 139 jeans and his club jacket , he flashes us a menacing smirk as we climb out of the SUV .
War removes his dark shades , slipping them into his pocket , and flicks his fingers in a silent command to follow .
We trail him across the lot to a dingy motel room .
He unlocks the door with a key , gesturing for us to step inside .
The room is dimly lit , with hideous lime green wallpaper peeling in sad curled strips .
The bed sags like its given up on life after years of questionable use , and the old TV hums in the background .
Mildew clings to the air , and thanks to my heightened pregnancy senses , it takes everything in me not to fucking gag God , if I puke in here , I might add to the biohazard already festering in this place .
No one sits .
No one even leans against the wall .
Its like we all silently agree that touching anything in here might infect us with something terminal .
My skin is crawling , Christine mutters , clutching her bag like someone might come out of the wall and grab it War shoots her a glare .
Then talk faster .
His attention shifts to me , his lips twitching into a smirk .
Lile psycho Big asshole , I retort without missing a beat , His grin widens as he drawls , Youre in a mood today I roll my eyes .
Tell me about it Weve got enough on our plate , and now were standing in a room covered in .
God knows what Gray said you just needed another babysitter for a mall trip , War says , his eyes glinting .
But I figured it was a lie when King texted me to meet up here .
yeah , i its a bir more than that , I admit .
War chuckles darkly , folding his arms .
Alright , lets hear it I glance at King and Mason .
Neither of them speaks , their unreadable gazes fixed on War .
Theyre leaving this to me , Great .
No pressure .
Were breaking into a house , I start , mirroring his arm crossing .
Theres something we need to retrieve His brow arches , clearly intrigued .
Go on Its Gary Phillipss house .
For the first time , Wars smile falters .
His jaw tightens , and he straightens slightly , his easy demeanor slipping .
The police chief , he says slowly , disbelief lacing his tone .
Yeah , thats gonna cost extra of Of course it will , I say dryly .
Name your price * Wait , did Gray offer to pay him ! And if he did , I dont think Im authorized to increase it , considering I dont have any money .
But I dont back down , completely immersed now in my role as group negotiator .
Wars eyes narrow , assessing me .
What could a litle Disney princess like you possibly offer me ? 1 hold my ground .
I said name your price .
War His laughter fills the room , a dark , throaty sound that sends a shiver down my spine .
How about a few home cooked meal ? Havent had one in a His answer catches me off guard .
You … you want me to cook for you ? Do I look like Betty Crocker to him ? odem w He tilts his head , studying me like a puzzle hes half interested in solving .
Unless you dont know how ! I heard how you modern women feel about cooking its too gender roles .
right ? Who said I didnt ! I snap , bristling at the implication .
His smirk returns .
You did , with that weird response I straighten , refusing to let him get under my skin .
I just wasnt expecting that , thats all .
How exactly do you plan to receive these pa payments ! He shrugs .
However you want .
Drop them off or I could come over and have dinner with you and your old man .
That sounds fun , doesnt it Like hell you will .
King growls .
2/3 1 shoot hum a look that says behave .
He inhales sharply through his nose , but doesnt argue further .
Chapter 139 They wanted me to handle this , and I am .
And with the plan were about to execute , well definitely need Wars help , so if we have to sit have a few meals with this asshole , so be it .
we love to sit down and Fine .
Ill cook for you .
I say , stepping closer to War and grabbing the front of his jacket .
My voice drops to a venomous whisper .
But keep pushing my buttons , and I might just poison your ass .
Wars grin stretches wide , full of dark amusement , Wouldnt put it past you , little psycho .
You are full of surprises , after all .
firmly in place .
