Page 61 of A Knight’s Revenge: The Complete Series

I sucked in a breath when I registered what was in the photos. A woman who was surely Lisa’s mother—she looked just like her except twenty years older with huge fake tits—was depicted in all sorts of compromising positions with an attractive man around the same age.

Lisa’s face paled. “Where… where did you get those?”

“I can get anything I want,” Zach replied with a smile. “And do you know who was less than thrilled to receive copies of these photos from me? Marcia Russo—the wife of the man in these very dirty—and extremely kinky—photos.”

Oh fuck . Marcia Russo was Lisa’s mother’s business partner and biggest investor in their company.

“What the fuck, Zach?” Lisa shouted, back to yanking on her chain. “What are you doing?”

“I regret to inform you, Lisa,” Zach went on, “That Marcia’s decided to end her relationship with Aviano Entertainment.

She’s also sent these photos to some of your mother’s other large investors, and they have also decided to part ways.

And it turns out Marcia’s also petty as fuck, so, as of a few hours ago, the majority interest in your family’s company was sold to Knight Acquisitions for a tidy little sum. ”

“What?” I exclaimed. My people hadn’t said anything about this to me!

“Surprise, baby girl.” He cupped my cheek and laid a sweet kiss on my lips. “Your lawyers were a dream to work with. I owe them a fruit basket.”

“You spoil me,” I said, beaming at him as butterflies erupted in my belly. “And they prefer muffins.”

“Noted.”

“Zach!” Lisa cried, now kicking her stilettoed feet like a toddler having a tantrum. “You can’t do that! My family’s company is Ferrero’s most important partner!”

Zach lost all mirth as he pinned her with a cold, deadly glare.

“You want to know why I did it, Lisa? You hurt my girl. You endangered her life—twice, because I know you conspired with that bitch Harper to strand her in the middle of the fucking river. I’m tired of looking at you.

I’m tired of your desperate, pathetic attempts to fuck me.

And I’m tired of listening to you insult the girl who’s had my entire fucking heart since I was old enough to know what it meant to care about someone. ”

I swayed on my feet. Zach was going to heal the cracks in my broken heart one gruff, impassioned declaration at a time.

God, I’d fucking missed him.

“You know we didn’t know who she was back then! She’s a shady, lying bitch!” She forced out a dramatic sob, but Zach plowed on.

“Your mom’s packing her shit as we speak because she’s about to get chased the fuck out of the City, and I suggest you do the same.

If I see your face within the walls of the Academy, I’ll throw you into the Fight Night ring with Jojo, and you’ll be lucky to leave with a recognizable face.

I don’t give a fuck who your family is, because you’re fucking nothing to me. You got that?”

Jesus Christ, I’d never been so turned on in my life. It took everything I had to keep my body from trembling as much as Lisa’s had when she’d thought Zach was here to fuck her.

A knock sounded at the door. Zach pulled the key from his pocket before striding over to the side of the bed where Lisa was chained to a slat of the headboard. He popped the lock on her cuff, and it took her half a second to throw herself into his arms.

“You’re throwing away everything we could have for a nasty skank from the Southside!” she wailed, pawing at his shirt. “She’s not the girl you knew, Zach! Why can’t you see it?”

He peeled her off his body with a disgusted look. “That’s enough. Get the fuck out of my Club—you’re no longer welcome here.”

He marched her ass to the door, kicking the heap of fabric on the floor that was her tiny dress out of her reach as they passed by. He opened the door and shoved her into the waiting arms of a Club bouncer, who just nodded respectfully to him before dragging a screaming Lisa down the hallway.

“Zach! Zach! I can’t believe you’re choosing her over me! Zach! ”

As her shrill cries faded away into nothing, Zach slammed the door and stalked back toward me.

I met him in the center of the room, jumping into his arms and wrapping my legs around his trim waist. Our lips clashed together, all tongues and teeth, and he snarled at me like an animal before slamming my back up against the wall .

“Fuck, Princess,” he groaned, grinding his hard dick right between my thighs, my thin tights and tiny panties doing little to prevent that delicious friction from driving me higher. “That felt good. I hope you liked your presents.”

“I fucking loved them,” I said, panting. “You’re so—” I moaned as he sucked my earlobe into his mouth. “—thoughtful.”

“Aren’t I?” he rumbled, now dragging his tongue along my collarbone. “You believe I’m on your side now, baby girl?”

Did I? I searched through the lust fog in my brain. Was there still a chance this could all be a game to Zach? Was I an idiot for falling for the guy whose mother had murdered mine?

No. My Zach was still in there—the more time we spent together, the more I saw it. We’d been each other’s world once, and we could be that again.

And he’d just handed me one of Ferrero’s biggest partners on a silver platter. If Andrea found out, he could be in danger. The thought made my stomach drop to the floor the same way it had when they’d told me Bennett had been attacked.

Zach was mine . I’d protect him, and I’d kill for him.

When I finally said it out loud, it was almost like a prayer. “I believe you, Zach.”

He paused his ministrations to look me right in the eyes, his hands still gripping my ass as he held me up against the wall. “Thank God. You’re my past, present, and future, Jojo. What that means is, this thing you’re doing? I’m all in with you now. Understand?”

“Yes,” I replied, nodding slowly as those deep brown eyes held me captive.

“And I need you to know that what you and I have, you can have with Noah and Bennett, too, if that’s what you want.”

I just continued to nod mutely. There were so many things to unpack there, but at the moment, it felt right to acknowledge that even though this was my time with Zach, the four of us were meant to be a unit again, in one way or another.

Then that slow, sexy grin returned. “Good girl. Now, unless you have an objection, Princess, I’m going to fuck you.

I’m going to bury myself inside this tight little body I’ve been dreaming about since you told Chad to shove it up his ass on that very first day, and I’m going to make you scream so fucking loud that Kai and the boys are going to hear you all the way down the hall. ”

That full body tremble finally overtook me.

“Yes, please.”
