Trey laughed wildly. Was he high or just insane? What was it with the unhinged today?
“Put your gun down,” I snarled.
“You just don’t know when to be quiet, do you?”
“Actually, I do. I’ll quit this when you’re good and dead, and Jacob is in my arms again.”
“No!” he shouted, pointing his weapon toward me. Jacob jerked away, and I took the shot.
Trey managed to squeeze the trigger, but his shot went wide. I kept firing until I’d emptied all my rounds into him.
“Grant! Grant, it’s okay. He’s dead.”
With as many rounds as I’d put into him, he damn well better be.
I dropped my gun, hauled Trey’s lifeless body off the floor, and kicked open the doors to the balcony, not caring that I broke the lock.
I flung Trey over the railing and watched him drop to the ground.
“Jesus,” TJ called up from the porch. “Did you have to make such a fucking mess?”
“Rogue? Where is he?” Jacob rushed to my side. “I think Trey—”
“I’m going to live,” Rogue called.
“He will,” I assured Jacob. “But he needs a doctor.”
“I’ve had worse.”
“We’ll get him to the hospital,” I promised.
“I’d call an ambulance, but there’s a fucking body in the front yard,” TJ called.
“Then clean it up.”
I realized Jacob was shaking. I scooped him into my arms and carried him back inside.

“Did Trey hurt you?” Grant asked, sitting down and putting me on his lap.
“No. I’m fine. Trey’s really dead.” I couldn’t make my mind accept it.
Grant kissed the top of his head. “Yes, sweetheart. He’ll never touch you again.”
“You killed him for me.”
“I did.”
“I should be upset. I should… You shot him.”
The world swirled around me. Grant had shot a man for me. Over and over. I shuddered as I thought about his body lying in the grass below us.
“He was going to kill you.”
“He would have killed you too.”
