“What the hell are you doing? That was Horse back there, in case you didn’t notice.” She shrugged out of his grasp and eyed him. “You know him.” The accusation speared Kassian. “Yeah, apparently you do, too. I know he’s Lotus.” Shouldn’t he be the angry one? The jealous one? He snorted. “We were teamed up for a mission. Afterward, we dated for a few months. He’s a prick. End of story.” “He shot you.” His hands fisted tight. He’d liked the male when they’d met a couple of years ago. Had even tried to convince him to join their Kongsi, but Price had insisted on his freedom. Considering his Lotus status, Kassian agreed. Enough burdens weighed on Sheng’s shoulders without adding the worry over one man who was already loyal to their joint leader. Now, Kassian was torn between Ox’s camaraderie with Horse and his protectiveness of Nat. If Price had been ordered to shoot Nat… “Exactly why we should avoid him at all costs.”
