His horse came to a stop and she gazed at his back. Once her feet hit the ground, she’d be running. Even in the dark with her hands tied, she would do her best to get away from this crazy man.
“My husband will kill you,” she said, thinking the man didn’t realize that both men were her husband.
“Oh no, honey, my plan is to kill him and you. With both of you dead, the Sweet B will be available. Papa will finally be proud of me.”
What could she say? With the two of them dead, the ranch would be available for sale and knowing Jim White, he would get it for almost nothing.
“Then your daddy, Jim White, will get what he wants.”
“That’s right,” he said, stepping out of his saddle, she waited patiently. If only she had something she could hit him with. A rock, a stick anything.
He walked to her horse and reached up to pull her out of the saddle. “Are you going to make it fun for me? Try to escape and then I can catch you and strip you?”
Well, crap! She didn’t want to give him pleasure in any way.
“Why would I do that? I expect my husband to arrive any minute. There’s no need to run. Will is going to kill you.”
The man tilted his head for a moment. “What’s Will’s last name?”
“Parker. I'm now Lily Parker.”
The man stopped his hands around her waist as he tilted his head. “My daddy knew a woman whose last name is Parker. I have a half-brother with the last name of Parker. It’s been years since I’ve seen him, but I just wonder."
Fear clutched Lily’s chest as her heart all but stopped and then beat at an irregular rhythm trying to catch up. No, no, no. Her husband could not be related to Jim White or even Calvin Smith.
“No way possible,” Lily said, unease settling in her. Will had never said anything about his family before. There was no way fate would put him and his half-brother together. That was insane.
He lifted her out of the saddle and set her on the ground and then he turned to her and grinned. “Aren’t you going to take off running?”
“See that cloud of dust in the distance? That’s your fate.”
She turned and walked away from him to sit on a dead tree not far from the horses. He glanced nervously in the distance. Her men were coming. Whether it was now or later, they would not let him kill her. She must have faith they would find her.
“No, it’s too early. They would not have caught up to us by now.”
A smile spread across her face. “They’re coming. Are you ready to die?”
Calvin gave a nervous laugh. “You seem to have forgotten. I’m killing the two of you.”
“Did you forget about Seth? He and Will are inseparable.”
“Doesn’t matter. I’ll kill the three of you. Now take off your clothes.”
“Kind of hard when my hands are tied. Besides you don’t want to rape me.”
He yanked a knife from his back pocket and sliced the ropes around her wrists. Fear raced through her, causing her to pause and glare at him. How could she stop him?
When she hesitated, he cocked his gun. “Do it.”
“Or what? You’ll kill me?” She tried to keep him talking to give them enough time to reach her. “About the time you’d get your tiny cock in me, they’ll ride up and then how will you grab your gun? And my husband will make certain that your cock never works again.”
His brows drew together in a frown and he glanced in the direction they had seen the dust. “See. No one is there. They’re not going to find you until tomorrow and by then it will be too late.”
A twig snapped and he whirled around aiming his gun in the darkness.
“You forgot to start a fire,” she said. “There are wild boars in this area. They’re killers. Are you ready to die?”
“Shut up,” he said, picking up firewood.
