“Of course,” Thorne agreed. “How about I meet your cousin and her kid and if they’re comfortable with everything, I can get them into a safe house tonight?”

“That would be wonderful. I’d owe you one, Thorne,” Savage said.

“No big deal,” Thorne lied. He was sure that helping out Savage’s cousin tonight would only lead to him getting no sleep.

Savage nodded, “Follow me,” he said. Thorne did as ordered and followed Savage into the back of the house to the kitchen.

“Hey, Thorne,” Bowie said. Dallas kissed his cheek and asked if he wanted some dinner, and he lied and said that he had already eaten. The sooner he could meet Rose and get her and her kid settled, the sooner he could crawl into his bed and get some shut eye.

Savage nodded to the petite woman in the corner holding a toddler. “That’s my cousin, Rose, and her daughter, Sadie.” He took a step toward Rose, and she backed further into the corner. “Rose this is Thorne. He’s a friend and you can trust him.” She looked at Savage as though he might have lost his mind and Thorne wanted to laugh. He knew what she saw when she looked at him. He was covered in tattoos and looked more like a criminal than someone who was there to save her.

“Good to meet you, Rose,” Thorne said. He smiled and waved to the toddler, “You too, Sadie.” The little girl smiled back at him and waved. Well, at least one of the women he was going to have to protect seemed to like him.

“You’re going to protect us?” Rose asked.

“I am,” Thorne said. “If that’s okay with you both. I’m good at what I do, and I will have no problem keeping you both safe.”

Savage stepped between them and turned to Rose. “Listen, I know Thorne’s a bit rough around the edges,” he said.

“Gee, thanks for that,” Thorne muttered. Savage shot him back a look and turned back to face his cousin.

“We all are,” Savage covered, “but, I’d trust Thorne with my life, and I know that he’ll keep you and your daughter safe if you’ll let him.”

“I trust you, Savage,” Rose said, “it’s why I came to you in the first place. If you say that Thorne will help us, then I trust you. Sadie and I will go with him.” She turned to face Thorne and pasted on her best smile. “Thank you for offering to help us.”

“Of course,” he agreed.

“You’ll stay in touch?” Bowie asked Thorne.

“Yes,” Thorne agreed, “as soon as I get them settled, I will check in with Savage. I’ll keep you guys in the loop.”

“Thanks, man,” Savage said. “I don’t know how I’ll ever repay you for doing this for my family.”

“I’m sure I’ll come up with something,” Thorne joked, slapping Savage on the shoulder. He turned back to Rose, “How soon can you be ready?” he asked.

“We’re ready now,” Rose said. “I just need to change Sadie and then, we can be ready to go with you.” She walked past him, and he caught a whiff of her strawberry-scented shampoo and Thorne made a mental note to stop sniffing the pretty girl. If he was going to keep his promise to Savage, he would need to keep his head in the game—strawberry-scented shampoo or not.
