Fee returned to her seat, hating Kendall’s small voice and sad expression. Though she understood Kendall’s dilemma, she couldn’t risk hurting Christopher. Desperation had led her to this. Fee understood how it felt to be driven to the brink of despair, seeking out any way to soothe away the pain.
But Christopher had been through too much, and he deserved every bit of happiness he had now. He loved Meggie more than he loved his own life. If Meggie ever left, Christopher wouldn’t survive. However he’d been before her, he wasn’t that way now. Meggie had changed him for the better. Tamed the wild beast in him. To Fee, the choice was a no-brainer.
“I can’t, Kendall. I’m sorry. You have to find another way.”
Kendall stiffened and swiped away the tears. “I thought we were friends,” she hissed.
“We are, but Christopher’s my brother. I love him. I can’t sacrifice his happiness for yours.”
“Of course not. I’m always the expendable one when there’s a choice between me and Meggie.”
“No! I adore Meggie. I do, but this has nothing to do with her. This is about my brother.”
“Your brother?” Leaning closer, Kendall narrowed her watery eyes, an ugly look crossing her face. “The same brother who’ll kill your lovers if he somehow finds out you’re giving pussy to both Cash and Stretch at the same fucking time? In case I didn’t tell you before, you’re an idiot. Cash fucks everything he sees, as long as there’s a hole to stick his cock in. Stretch is just a fucking pitiful shell. If you want to throw your life away on two goddamn losers, that’s your business. I can’t stop you.” She smirked with triumph. “But Christopher can. I don’t need to distract him with Daphne threatening his precious Meggie. I can tell him about you. Although he just fucking huffs and puffs and doesn’t have the balls to kill anyone anymore, it’ll be interesting to see how my information affects him.”
“You wouldn’t dare!”
“Oh, I fucking dare anything to get what I want.”
“I don’t believe you. You’re not that fucking brutal and cutthroat. You wouldn’t risk our friendship for a damn position.” More than that, Fee didn’t want to believe she’d misjudged someone else. Again.
“I am that brutal and cutthroat, Fee. Life has left me little choice. Romaine, Stone, and Stanley is a very prestigious firm. I’m not giving that up. I need to make this deal work to show Christopher I’m an asset to both the firm and the club.”
“I trusted you with this very dangerous secret. I can’t believe you’d use that against me.” Putting her in the position of having to stay quiet about Kendall’s intentions, even to Christopher. “If I don’t allow you to fuck over my brother and his wife.”
“Oh please. She’s a pathetic bitch behind him. It’s women like her who give women like us a bad rep.”
Fee snapped her brow’s together at Kendall once again separating herself from other women and including Fee. “W-women like us?”
“We’re strong. We don’t put up with a man’s bullshit. Meggie is disgustingly wretched. Her entire life is built around your brother and his cock.”
“That isn’t true! Meggie is in business with Zoann. My goodness, it sounds as if every rumor I heard about you hating Meggie is true.”
“I don’t hate her. I’m eleven years older than she is and I see her every mistake. I’ve tried to be her friend. How does she repay me? By siding with Christopher in this current matter. She could suck his dick on my behalf and get him to change his mind.”
“That’s…that’s…do you hear yourself? You want Meggie to blow my brother for your job?”
“I do. I want her to get down on her knees so he can shove his cock down her throat and cum in her face if that’s what it takes to reason with him.”
“Wha…Are you insane? Even thinking that is fucking creepy and gross.”
“She does it anyway. She told me and she said he doesn’t go down on her at all. He says all that bullshit in front of us. In private, though, he makes her suck his cock all the time, and doesn’t pleasure her back.”
Fee didn’t care to hear about her brother’s sex life one way or the other. “Okay, you know what? Just like the house being in Meggie’s name, whatever they do in bed is their business. Get over yourself. You’re on a collision course that’s going to end bad if you don’t slam on the brakes.”
“Think about this. Say I don’t tell Christopher about your affair and have fun with Daphne. He’d be distracted from your life, too. It might give you the chance to spend more time with your men without looking over your shoulder. We all know if one thing is off with Meggie, the asshole can’t focus on anything.” She tossed her hair over her shoulder. “The whole world knows that. If she’s upset, he wouldn’t fucking notice Armageddon. He’s so easy to exploit.”
