Chapter 7
Cassius
“Get up, Cassy Boy.Time to break the news to Daddy Dean. I bet that the vein in his forehead pops when he finds out what our new job is. He's gonna lose his shit,” Neo laughs and lays down next to me in bed; he rolls on his side to face me. My eyes are still closed, but I know he's staring at me.
Groaning, I rub the sleep from my eyes. “What time is it anyway?” My voice comes out groggy.
“No fucking clue. Suns up, and so am I,” Neo says. I turn my head over and find Neo smirking at me, hands tucked under his cheek.
Neo is one of the oddest, scariest people I’ve ever met. He's not only my cousin but my best friend too. The guys and I are the only ones who are never on the receiving end of his crazy—at least not the dangerous kind of crazy.
“Isn't it exciting?” he whispers, and I cock my brow.
“What is?”
“Harlow. How fucking funny is it that she's our boss now?” he says, pausing, then bursting out laughing. “You think I’ll get to fuck the boss? I really hope so. What do you think my chances are at having the job that numbnuts had in her office?”
“Job? You mean the guy who was fucking her?” I ask, grunting as I sit up. My night was shit and I got no sleep. My mind wouldn't shut down until 4 am because all I could think about was our new jobs and my weekend with Rosie. I miss my little princess more than any words could explain.
“Well, it must be. Harlow doesn't look like someone who would just let anyone fuck her, and I know for a fact she doesn't do boyfriends. Whoever that guy was, he works for her, and now that we do as well, I want his job,” he states.
If he is right, and it is a job, he, out of all of us, would be the one to get it. She would never let us be in control of any aspect in her life, and Axel and Dean would never let a woman dominate them. I would, but something tells me she's not gonna let me back in, at least not without a lot of work on my part. I plan on doing everything I can to get back into her good graces, though, if I ever was in them. I loved that woman back then, and I still do now. I don't care who she’s become.
When she told me what had happened after leaving our front gate, it took everything in me not to puke. The idea of her being kidnapped and then raped on a daily basis made me want to claw off all of my skin just to twist the organs that lie inside.
No wonder she hates men so much. She has every right to, but she is still the love of my life, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Not like Axel and Dean would be.
On the other hand, I also have to think of Rosie. Is bringing her into this life a good idea? We’ve worked hard to keep everything legal and stay out of shady businesses. Having a serial killer playing a significant role inherlife doesn't sound like the best parenting move. So, I have no choice. I need the money to keep Rosie in my life, and there is no way I'm letting that money sucking leech have my daughter full time. There's something about her husband that rubs me the wrong way.
“What the hell are you two doing in here?” Axel grumbles as he steps into my room. He looks over the two of us and shakes his head like none of this surprises him.
“Alright, let’s get this done and over with. Fill me in on what I missed, and then we can set up a game plan and get things in motion,” Dean says, making his way into the room and around Axel. He looks at Neo in the bed with me and raises a brow but says nothing.
“Oh, lighten up, Daddy Dean. Pull the dildo out of your ass. We have fallen down the hole into a wonderful land of possibilities. This is gonna be awesome,” Neo says, jumping up onto the bed, bouncing a bit. “Like talk about a total bombshell of a boss. I'm never gonna get any work done. All I'm gonna be able to do is think about how perfect those pretty tits would look as I thrust my cock between them.” Neo’s grin splits his face.
“Neo, now is not the time for games or your fantasies. I'm being serious. Tell me what she said after I left,” Dean says, his voice stern as he steps closer to the bed.
“Boooo! You're such a buzzkill. Chill the fuck out,” Neo says, then bends over and grabs a pillow. “Pillow fight!” Neo crows before whacking Dean across the face with the pillow.
I choke on a laugh and Axel groans, knowing what's coming next. Neo just has to poke the bear, even if it is this early in the morning. Dean is already walking a fine line when it comes to his control.
Dean's face turns red in anger, and Neo bites his lips, holding back a smile. “Now, now, Daddy Dean, calm down before that pretty blue and green vein in your forehead pops. Although, then I'd win my bet, so never mind,” Neo shrugs. He jumps up and lands with his butt on the bed.
“Fuck. Off,” Dean seethes, his jaw clenched tight. “And stop calling me that stupid nickname.”
Neo smiles. “Oh, Daddy Dean, I've been a bad boy. Spank me,” Neo says, then bends over and sticks his ass in the air.
I need to put a stop to it before Dean murders Neo... it's not even noon yet. But Dean brings up his foot and kicks Neo in the ass, sending his body forward on the bed.
“Harder,” Neo groans. Thankfully, he's joking because if this were Harlow, he would have already busted a nut.
Dean growls. Neo chuckles. “Alright, alright.”
“What you missed was these two asshats accepting a deal with her before talking to you,” Axel says, stepping forward, crossing his arms, and giving us a look as if he were a parent scolding a child. I roll my eyes.
“It's really not that big of a deal. We went there for this very reason anyways,” I say, getting up and grabbing my robe off the back of the door.
“You agreed to her terms for all of us, and that's not how things work!” my twin snaps.
