My heart seizes when I see her blond head bent over the steering wheel, her body limp and unmoving. I can’t see how bad she’s hurt but it’s obvious that she’s unconscious right now.
Before I’ve gone halfway there, the dickhead sees me and the gun jumps as he whips it up to his eye.
“You,” he mutters under his breath. “You’re the asshole that slept with my girl.”
“She’s not yours,” I answer calmly, maneuvering until I’m between his pacing body and the steaming hunk of metal that has my love inside it.
“She is!” He screams and the gun jerks, going off, the bullet hitting me in the shoulder.
I grunt and race at him, slamming into his body and grunting as I take him down hard.
We hit the ground and I grit my teeth from the explosion of pain in my shoulder.
But it doesn’t stop me from hammering my fist into the dick’s rabbity fucking face. He screams and drops the gun as my fist connects with his jaw, his nose, anywhere I can reach.
“Who the fuck do you think you are? You don’t want her unless someone else does? Well, fuck you man! She’s mine. My fucking woman!” I keep hammering at him with every damn word, my vision blurring red with rage.
I struggle when someone grabs me, hollering. “Boss! Hey! Leave something for the cops!”
Jacob jerks at me, his blue eyes concerned as he holds me away.
I point my finger at the piece of shit lying in the grass. “I’m leaving you for the Sheriff but you better pray that she’s alright or I’m gonna come back and finish you off.” I groan when I finally feel the pain in my shoulder but I think it’s only a graze.
And I whirl on my booted heel and race to the car where one of the guys is tugging at the door. I push him out of the way and yank at it, swearing when I realize that it’s locked and the window is rolled up so we can’t open it.
I grab the gun and run to the other side of the car, slamming the butt of the shotgun into the window over and over, roaring when it finally cracks and I can finally hammer it until it’s shattered enough to get to the lock.
A piece of glass scrapes along my wrist and I gasp but it doesn’t stop me. Pain recedes as I finally get the fucking door open and jump inside, my throat tight, my pulse pounding in my head as I reach out and touch her pale throat.
I almost fucking cry when I feel her blood moving under her soft skin.
“She’s alive!” I holler. “She needs an ambulance though.”
One of the guys hollers back that it’s on the way but my eyes never leave her pale face. Her lip is busted open, blood on her cheek and there’s a huge bruise on her forehead where she must have hit her head on the steering wheel or the window.
But she’s alive. I hit the lock button to unlock the door and then back out and walk over to the other side. I squat by the open door. My fingers caress her skin and I pray like I’ve never prayed in my life.
Because she is my life. I don’t think I can live without her. I don’t think I’d want to. Gentle rain washes over me and I ignore it, eyes locked on my whole world until the ambulance gets there.
Chapter 13
Callie
My eyes feel gritty and my body feels like I’ve been riding bulls. Every damn part of me hurts, Especially my head.
I groan and reach my fingers up to touch my aching head, my forehead knotting when I feel the soft edges of a bandage.
“What?”
Somebody’s hand touches mine and he murmurs, “Don’t mess with the bandages, sweetheart.”
My eyes fly open and my heart feels light, my soul finally flying. “Rory? Oh thank god!” I cry out and reach for him, my arms tangled in tubes and wires all over me.
“What the hell?” I ask, confused.
“You’re alright, baby girl. Just a little banged up. But a day or two in here and then you’re coming home with me. I’m never letting you go this time. You’re gonna be lucky if I let you out of my sight long enough to work.”
A throat clears in the doorway and we both turn to see Cody standing there, grinning. “So you two did finally realize that you were made for each other, huh? I wasn’t sure if it would happen or not. Especially since both of you were lying through your teeth. You weren’t dating.”
