Behind Closed Doors – Shain Rose

I glanced at him and saw the look he shot her way, so cold we all felt the temperature drop. He didn’t look away from her for even a second as he said, “We never promised mercy, Jasmina.” She grumbled something under her breath, and normally Cal would have let that go.

He was the diplomat, after all, but he taunted her instead. “I’m sorry, we didn’t hear that, Jasmina. Want to speak up, or are you scared to in a room full of men?” Whoever that woman was, it was clear they’d brought her because she was trained to kill, and even I was impressed at how fast her knife flew across the table toward him. My brother was trained in combat though.

We all were. And still, he barely dodged the blade. Paolo bellowed her name, standing over her as if he were going to beat the shit out of her. “Everyone, stop.” Callahan kept his eyes on her while Paolo’s men backed off in surrounding her. “Jasmina has never been to one of our meetings before. I might not have mercy, but I do have grace to give sometimes. She’s fine.” “We meant no disrespect. Right, Jasmina?” My brother didn’t even wait for her to answer.

“Oh, she meant every ounce of disrespect she could muster in that throw, but I don’t mind a fight.” And as we walked out, I heard him as he passed her by, “Next time, try not to miss, baby.” When we got back into the SUV, I laid my head on the seat rest and closed my eyes. “Do I want to know what the fuck is going on between you and Paolo’s niece?”

“Nope.” But the corner of his mouth lifted like he knew it was going to be a whole lot of trouble. “Do I want to know what the fuck you’re thinking happened back there with Paolo?” “Nope,” I said right back. Then I sighed, shaking my head.

“Not until I’m sure, brother, not until I’m sure.”
