“Can we get back on track?” Leroy clears his throat.

I look over to him and grin. He might not be an Alpha, but my scent seems to get to him, too. Good.

“Right!” I snap my fingers and point to him. “As I was saying. Everything is new to me. I’m excited to see the world.” I grin widely. “I’ve been on the down low because no one wants to draw attention when they’re killing someone, am I right?” I laugh. “So, I’ve mostly gone out at night. Duchess wanted me to perfect my craft before I was able to go out on my own. So I’ve gone with her on a few jobs. She’s so good at it,” I sigh in awe. “The way her wrists move as she glides the blade against their flesh. I wanna be like her when I grow up.”

“You do know she’s younger than you, right?” Caleb chuckles.

“Age is just a number, baby.” I wink, then turn to Leroy. “Speaking of age, how old are you?”

He blinks a few times and...oh my god, is he blushing? So cute!

He clears his throat before answering. “Fifty-five.”

My brows jump. “You're twenty-five years older than me.”

His shoulders slump. “It’s a turn off, isn’t it?”

“Fuck no,” I snort. “It’s hot as fuck. You're literally panty-melting to look at. You're like the silver fox fantasy. The daddy vibe.” I grin. “You can be my daddy any day.”

Leroy groans, and I swear I can smell his arousal. It’s faint, but I can smell his licorice and vanilla scent.

“He might be older, but his cock works just fine,” Caleb adds, a menacing grin on his face. “Not that I know from experience, but I’ve walked in on the man jacking off a few times. Dude is hung.”

“Caleb!” Leroy hisses, slapping him upside the head.

“Hey, I have Little Bug in my arms. Don’t hit me.” Caleb laughs.

“Then stop saying stupid shit,” Leroy scolds.

“Nothing stupid about a fat cock.” I lick my lips. “Can I see?”

Leroy’s eyes snap over to mine, widening in shock as Caleb bursts out laughing, while Jake snickers, and Walker huffs out a chuckle.

“Kidding, kidding.” I grin, leaning back in my seat. My eyes look him up and down, the table covering where his dick would be. “For now.”

“Off track, again,” Walker points out.

“Sorry.” I laugh. “I do that a lot. Duchess says I have ADHD.”

“You do,” Jake says. “Ahh... at least you did.”

“Huh.” I nod. “Cool. Like my messed-up brain needs more reasons to be messed up.” I shrug. “Makes life more interesting, am I right?”

“Savvy,” Caleb says, getting my attention. “Who’s Jerry?”

I raise a brow. “You don’t know your own brother?”

“My brother’s name is Jeremy.” He frowns.

“Remember, I gave him a new name. Keep up.”

“So, you just change people's names when you don’t like them?” Walker asks with a smirk.

“Pretty much.” I shrug.

“Gonna change any of our names?” he asks.

I take a moment to think. “Nah, I think they’re all sexy.”
