“Can I cut them off?”

I nodded my head. Doc took out a knife, flipping it open before carefully cutting the tights off my legs. He made another cut a few inches above my shoe, leaving me socks.

Gambit tensed beneath me as Doc examined the multitude of diminutive scars on my legs.










Chapter 21

Gambit

Stormy recounted heryears of torment with surprising calmness. It both worried and enraged me. I knew one thing for certain: her stepmonster of a brother was going to die painfully. Very painful.

She tensed on my lap while Doc examined her scars. The only thing keeping my anger at bay is the woman in my arms. Stormy needs me. After I get her settled, I can unleash my anger. My control hung on by a thread. Doc’s voice brings my focus back to the present.

“I’m sorry you had to endure that, Queenie. Good news, the scars are small enough that laser treatment can remove them easily.”

“Really?”

“Yes, really.”

Stormy relaxed against me. “Is it expensive?”

“The scars are small, but many. I’ll check into it and find the best deal.”

“Thank you.”

“Stormy, you mentioned other scars. Can you tell me where they are?” Stone asked.

I wrapped my arms tighter around her before kissing the top of her head.

“I’m here, bébé. I’ve got you.”

She trembled as she spoke. It broke my fucking heart, and I fought back the new surge of rage that welled up within me. I didn’t have to ask either man to know they’d help me take out the trash. Tyler Barnes the turd is going down.

“They... They’re under my breasts.”

I couldn’t contain the rage anymore. I wrapped Stormy in my arms protecting her ears. “THE MOTHERFUCKER IS DEAD!”
