“They’re not worth us getting into any trouble for, Conor. The last thing we need is to draw any unwanted attention to ourselves. I just want us to get home.” I place my hands on his chest and his breathing slows.
“Home?” he smiles at me.
“You know what I mean,” I whisper.
“But it is your home, Angel. I’m just happy to hear you calling it that again.”
“I’m happy to be calling it that too,” I say as I lean forward and place a soft kiss on his lips.
“How do you manage to have me eating out of the palm of your hand, Angel?” he breathes. “You have a power over me like no one has ever had before.”
I bite my lip as I look into his warm brown eyes. “That’s not true.”
“Yes, it is, and you know it. I would do anything for you, Jessie Ryan. You’re all I think about every second of every day.”
Wrapping my arms around his neck, I press a soft kiss against his cheek. “I love you, Conor Ryan,” I breathe. “And I would do anything for you, too.”
Chapter
Twenty-Nine
CONOR
Ilean against the doorway of the gas station with my cell phone to my ear as I watch Jessie choosing candy from the shelves. Shane answers my call on the third ring.
“Hey, Con. Everything okay?” he says.
“Yeah. And no. I’m going to send you a license plate after I end this call.”
“Okay?”
“These two guys tried to take Jessie.”
“Take her? What do you mean, take her?” he snaps and I can picture him frowning while he sits at his desk.
I peer through the door to make sure she’s still there, and she smiles at me as she holds up a huge bag of candy. I shake my head and she pouts before putting it back on the shelf. “I mean like kidnap and rape her.”
“What?” he shouts. “What the fuck happened? If you’re sending me a plate then I assume they’re still breathing? So why is that?” he snarls.
“They were two assholes from a bar we were in. They are still breathing because she just wanted to get out of there and begged me not to hang around and beat the two cunts to death.”
“Fuck! Is she okay?”
“Yeah. She has a mark on her face, but she’s okay.”
I hear a sharp intake of breath before he answers. “Send me the picture and I’ll make sure they’re dealt with.”
“Thanks.”
“Rape and kidnap her?”
“Yeah.” I swallow as I imagine what might have happened if I hadn’t got to her when I did. “Our girl is a magnet for assholes.”
“Well, I’ll make sure they suffer then.”
“You got any news at all on Alexei yet?” I keep my eyes on Jessie as she walks to the cash register to pay.
“No. Has Jessie got any idea where he might be?”
