The ride up to the top floor was over in a flash and as we walked into the apartment, Devlin spun me to face him, wrapped his arms around my waist, and pulled me in for a bruising kiss. He pulled back and his feral eyes looked down at me as a smirk pushed up on his lips.

To others, he was revered.

To the world, he was respected, and to the criminal elements, he was the madman.
