“Everything is barter. We do what benefits number one.”

“Going after Evander tonight wasn’t looking after number one,” she said. “You could’ve been hurt or killed. And don’t you always say your loyalty is to your family before anything else?”

“The family is my number one.”

“With Burl and Biz in prison, your dad dead, the McDades are falling fast,” she said. “Do you still speak with Score, Play, and Razer?”

“Aye.”

“And you took over everything Doherty that didn’t go down with the ship. Your families are connected now.”

“I have boots on the ground and a hand on the wheel. Whisper’s head of her family.”

Not that there was much of it left.

“Easy to do, I guess, with a McDade like Razer at her back. What’s she like?” she asked, sitting up on him. “I’ve heard some incredible things about Whisper Doherty. Did she really murder a woman for smiling at her husband?”

“Almost,” he said, running his palms up her torso, over her breasts and back down. “She’s possessive.”

“It’s incredible.” Her hands rested on his, moving with his as they caressed her. “Two combative families, both such extreme personalities… it’s a wonder their marriage has lasted this long.”

“She’s possessive, sure, but McDades have a jealous streak. Raze has put bullets in men for looking at his wife. Crippled them for touching her. She plays to it. Woman’s fierce.”

“Not all McDades,” she said, her hips undulating as his cock awoke beneath her.

“Not all McDades, what?”

“Have a jealous streak.” Or Connel just didn’t care about her enough to get jealous. “You don’t.”

“Don’t test that theory, baby,” he said, squeezing her breasts together.

Resting her hands on his torso, she lifted and dropped just a few inches, mimicking what they’d done twice already.

“We had sex with two other people,” she said. “You weren’t jealous then.”

“No?”

“Is that what you want? You want your other girls here? They’re dancing in the club.”

If the club was still open, time meant nothing in that room.

“You need them?”

“No,” she said, rocking against him. “Even when I was with them, all I thought about was how bad I needed you inside me.”

“They’re your extras, babe. Not mine.”

“You’ve been with both of them in the past, haven’t you?”

“Yeah,” he said, tormenting her nipples with his thumbs. “Been with a lot of women.”

Given who he was, that was no surprise.

“You just have to pick and point, don’t you?”

“Aye,” he said and sat up, wrapping both arms around her to hold her close. “I can give you any woman you want.”

Because he’d already said men weren’t allowed near her.
