“I’m going to find who did this and destroy them. That, I can guarantee.” I caress my hand down her back.
“I have some ideas. We have been looking into it since she arrived two days ago. He came in looking for her about an hour after she’d been treated.”
“He did?” Harley asks.
“And you let him get away?” I roar.
“Yes. You were out cold then, but I wasn’t going to let him anywhere near you. He had no idea you were here, but he was creeping around the town, most of which wouldn’t give him the time of day.” At least they kept my woman safe. Something I couldn’t do, so I have to give them credit for that.
“Good. I want everything you have on him because I’m going to take my time ending him and everyone involved in hurting her.”
“You’ve got it.”
“I’m hungry.”
“I’m sorry, Tigress. Let me get you fed.” He kisses her softly.
“I’m sure we’re all hungry. It’s almost dinnertime.”
“We should head back to Dallas,” I say, looking down at Harley. “You need to be looked after properly.”
“We were doing just fine until you showed up,” the pregnant woman huffs.
“They were doing a great job.”
“Yes, but there’s no room for me here, and you belong with me.”
“Are you sure about that?” Harley huffs, crossing her arms. “I’m staying here. You can head back to Dallas or wherever it is you actually live.” I’m not sure what that means, but I’ll get to that question when we’re alone.
“Damn it.”
“Look, I’m not going to let her leave if she doesn’t want to go. She’s been through a lot, and regardless of who you are, she’s under my care. She deserves to have that peace of mind.”
“If she stays, I stay. There’s no way I’m leaving her side again. I fucked up once, and that’s how she ended up unprotected and in this position in the first place.” I duck my head and shake it. This is all my fucking fault, and I’ll never forgive myself for sending her away in the first place.
“It’s okay. There is a second room upstairs if that’s okay with you, Boss?” Harley mentions, trying to release the tension in the room.
“Are you sure?” She nods. “My home is only down the road, as well as all the other guys here. Cyber lives two doors down in the apartment building.”
“Is there a hotel for my men?” I ask, pointing to them. After today, I don’t know what to expect, and I sure as fuck want as much backup as possible.
“Sure.”
“Why don’t we order some pizza? I’m hungry,” the woman says, rubbing her belly.
“Yes, dear.”
“I could go for some pizza,” Harley says with a blush as her stomach rumbles.
“When’s the last time you ate?” I ask Harley, looking her over and feeling frustration that this is all my fault. She would have been safe in bed if it wasn’t for me.
“I didn’t eat much. It’s been a little hard to eat. The girls bring me food but, well, I haven’t been in the mood to eat.”
“Well, you sure as fuck are eating now,” I growl.
“Damn, he sounds just like you,” Esperanza says, chuckling.
“You missed out on me twenty years ago, my beauty,” Boss tells his woman.
