House of Payne: Steele
“Steele paused at the head of the narrow back stairwell when Essie’s sultry contralto voice reached his ears. He’d already been around the entirety of her building to check its overall security. It wasn’t awful, but one of the residents had held the door open for him so he could gain entrance. Not to mention both the front and the back doors were made of tempered glass. If someone was determined enough to get in, they could do it.
“How am I not supposed to worry about you? You fucking fainte...d.”
The male voice was one Steele recognized right away; Oliver “Twist” Santiago, Essie’s oldest brother. He sounded about as exasperated as a man could be, and Steele couldn’t blame him. From his position at the far end of the hall, he even cheered him on for being a protective presence in Essie’s life. It was clear that it was this protective stance in Twist that made him not a fan of Steele’s, but the feeling was far from mutual.MoreLess
