Doors slammed and boots pounded as the brothers stormed the great room.
Gate pointed at Lucky and Cash, who had a pool game going. “You two are here in case he makes it back.” The two brothers dropped their cues and nodded.
Nine met Gate at the door. “Who is it?”
“Fucking Spider.”
Brick, the little too messed up to be sane Sergeant at Arms, whispered. “I’m gonna kill that bastard.”
Gate strode into the parking lot, “Stand in line.”
Gate threw a leg over his bike and pulled out his phone.
Talon answered in one.
“Where are you?” Gate asked.
“Townhouses south end of Gaston. Gunshots. Residential, man.” Talon answered.
“We’re ten minutes out.”
“They’re circling back. Make it five.”
Gate ended the call, shoved his phone back in his pocket, and said, “Gaston.”
Then the roar of Harleys filled the night air.

My eyes sprang open, and I sat up on the couch. Silence.
Maybe it was a dream.
There it was again. Gunshots splitting the air.
My empty wine glass and Kindle were both on the floor. I stepped over them and grabbed my phone as I ran to the back of the house, stopping just long enough to pull my pistol from the chest in the back hall. Once I faced being alone with Cassie and being responsible for our safety, I’d become firearm savvy. My cami didn’t readbadass with a good assfor nothing.
I hit the back door, and my bare feet slapped across the stoop. I ran through the cool grass, pistol up, jumped to the raised flower garden, and leveled my pistol over the back fence. A Harley roared by, and two box Chevys careened down the alley behind him.
Before I could aim for the front tire, gunfire sprayed the fence, and I leaped for the yard, sliding through the grass. I felt around in the dark for my phone, realizing I probably should have called the police first, and just as I found it, two strong hands grabbed me under the arms and hauled me up and over a broad shoulder.
“What thefuckwere you thinking?” a velvet voice growled as he clamped a hand on my ass and started across the yard.
“Ouch!” I yelled.
He spanked my ass again. “Swear to God, I could take you across my knee for being that damn stupid.”
He made the steps, threw open the back door, and set me down inside. He crowded until I backed up enough to let him in. Then he closed the door behind him.
I looked up, way up, and shuttered a breath.Talon.
The roar of Harleys broke the silence, and Talon pulled the blinds and glanced out the back window.
He turned back to me and gave me a look, up and down. Then he grinned, slow and sexy, and my heart stopped.Damn, that man is gorgeous.
“You’re the girl with the Audi,” Talon said, and I wondered how he knew, but I was too dazzled to ask.
