Neither one moved, and while I was waiting for them to jump into action, Naomi tried to slip away. I wrapped my hands around Naomi’s neck, pushed her back against the car and barked out a, “Now,” at my boys. Who finally sprang forward and starting scouring the rubble around us.

Good, now that that’s done…

I turned my attention back to the blonde, but instead of ripping her a new one, I found myself leaning back a bit, to roll my gaze over her. More specifically, the way her breasts pushed against the green silk of her shirt.

“What are you doing in Miami?” I snarled. Naomi should be at home, in her fancy palace with her rich friends.

“That’s none of your business.”

“It became my business when you started mowing people down with a car.”

“You should be thanking us. We saved your ass.”

“Is that what you think.” I stepped in, pressing myself up against her. That was a mistake. Bitch was all soft and warm, and she smelled like wild flowers. I never wanted to hate fuck anyone so hard in my life. Even took a second to consider it, but just a second. “Go back home Princess. Before you get yourself hurt.”

She tipped her chin up and pressed back against me. I had to hand it to the girl. It wouldn’t take much effort to choke the life out of her, and she still wouldn’t back down. Why the fuck did that make me want her more?

“Are you threatening me?”

“I don’t make threats,” the corner of my mouth curled. “You should know that. Or do you need a reminder?”

Her blonde friend released a loud groan, “Are you guys done with the foreplay yet, because Mr. Chang’s is right around the corner, and I really want a spring roll.”

“This is not foreplay, Ava,” Naomi sang back at her. “Look at him. He’s a brute.”

My fingers tightened around her neck.

Well fuck you too. Queen of fucking Sheba.

“Who’s hot as hell,” Ava argued. “I’d fuck him.”

Naomi snorted. I smirked and Tanner straightened up from the pile he was digging through.

“What about me?” He said with hope sparkling in his dark eyes.

Ava leaned back and gave him a quick once over, “You’re too pretty.”

Even Mannix chuckled at that one. Gotta say, I liked the look on Tanner’s face when his jaw hit the floor.

“Can we go now?” Ava rolled her eyes over to me. “I have a bunch of girls to haze tonight?”

My brow rose. Hazing? That’s when I spotted the Greek letters pinned to Ava’s chest. I sighed and stepped back, releasing Naomi. Of course they were sorority girls. Naomi didn’t waste any time, she shot me a dirty look and opened the car door.

Which got me thinking, a girl like Naomi should be freaking-out right now. There were bodies laying around and they were parked in a building, but she was as cool as a cucumber. What really peeked my interest was the way she looked at the Reaper under the front tire. More specifically the patch on his jacket. She’d seen it before.

I crossed my arms and ignored the chunks of rubble falling when they pulled out of the Chinese laundry. Whatever Naomi Prescott was hiding, I would find out.

I hope you’re prepared to play Princess. Because you’re in my town now.
