Claimed by my Brother’s Best Friends (Alyssa) novel Chapter 75

Alyssa

Inside the elevator, the déjà vu feeling creeps back in. I look around, trying to figure out where I've seen something like this before.

Isaac's law firm? No.

"Alyssa," Gray's voice snaps me out of it, and when I turn to look at him, for a split-second, I swear I see him as a kid, standing in exact same spot—nine, maybe ten years old.

What the hell?

"Why are you staring at me like that?" he asks, raising a brow.

I shake my head, still freaked out. "Oh, nothing," I mumble, trying to ignore the strange sensation crawling under my skin.

How have I been here before?

His gaze narrows, but he lets it go. "I hope you weren't too afraid down there."

I shrug. "Nope. I put together a gun in like thirty seconds, so I think they were actually somewhat impressed."

From the corner of my eye, I see Niko smirk.

A shadow crosses Gray's face, but he only hums in response. "Do you know why I wanted you here today?"

"To tell you how ridiculous you look wearing these suits every day?" I tease, glancing at the black suit he's wearing. "Did I miss the memo that you're running the mafia now?"

"Ha ha," he deadpans, his expression unamused. "Anyway, we need to talk about Isaac."

The smile drops right off my face. "What about him?" I ask, my voice suddenly small.

The elevator doors slide open, and he gestures for me to walk out first. I move past the guys without looking at them, scared that if I do, I might give away something. Like the reason why I'm so deliciously sore between my legs.

I walk right into the office as if I already know where it is.

Okay, this is getting freakier by the second.

But we'll come back to that later. For now, I need to know what he wants to talk about regarding my husband.

I sit on the outer side of Gray's desk, Niko beside me with Zuri, King leaning against the wall, and Mason standing at the door.
