And she can’t be here for that.
She can’t be part of it.
As usual, she somehow knows how to handle me, how to stand in the middle of that storm unwavering. It doesn’t trip her up or make her cry. She just rounds her shoulders, clutches my keys in her hands then moves to walk out the door.
It’s taking everything inside me to remain still.
To keep from rushing forward.
I want to rip this man apart and destroy his voice inside my head.
But I stand still, barely moving a muscle, waiting for Blue to leave.
Just as she steps past William, she turns to glare at him, her lips a tight line.
Voice low, she says, “You should know I’ve dealt with men like you before. But they were much younger and a hell of a lot nicer to look at. All I see in you is shriveled balls and a dick that won’t work without the help of a little blue pill. Sorry, jackass, but a ride wouldn’t be worth it.”
William’s expression morphs into the face I remember, a sadistic grin with amber eyes full of anger.
You’ll never amount to anything, boys…
I’m just getting a return on my investment…
Be a MAN…
He reaches out to grab Blue, but I’m on top of him before he can touch her. I don’t remember moving. I’m not sure when my hand wrapped around his throat. I barely remember the hard thump of his back crashing against the wall.
But I do remember Blue’s expression when I turn my head and shout, “I said get the fuck out!”
Pain.
Distrust.
A look that tells me I’m just like all the other men.
A spark of understanding that the bastard I have pinned to a wall is the reason for my scars.
She hesitates again. A bare second. But then she rushes out of the door, slamming it closed behind her.
His voice is strained as he continues to taunt me.
“Looks like it’s just me and you now, kid. It’s too bad you don’t like sharing your toys. Isn’t that what I taught you and Ezra when you were younger? To share? Isn’t that what we all taught you?”
As I lock eyes with him, my hand clenches tighter.
This close to him, the putrid scent of alcohol is even stronger. The bastard is so drunk that this would never be a fair fight.
But who the fuck cares about the circumstances?
This will be our little secret…
It got your brother to fight…
Ezra always refused. Always took whatever beating they gave him because he would never give them what they wanted.
Not at first, at least.
Not until they dragged me into the dark.
