“Ready to make some real hits?” Grady asks.
I turn to him with a smile. “Really? But I don’t want to hurt him.”
Bash barks out a laugh. “Don’t worry, lass. You can’t hurt me.”
Grady smirks at me and winks. “Give it all you got, Little one. Kick his ass.”
Bash wraps his arms around me from behind, and I start fighting against him. First an elbow to the ribs, then I stomp on his foot. He doesn’t let me go, and he’s blocking all my shots.
“That’s all you got, lass? You hit like a girl,” Bash mocks.
I spin around and glare at him. “That’s,”kick, “because,”stomp, “I am,”karate chop to the throat, “a girl,”hands on his shoulders, knee up to the balls. Except at the same time I raise my leg, he ducks as though he’s expecting me to hit him in the face. I end up kneeing him in the groin much harder than I was going for.
Bash howls and drops to the floor, clutching his balls. Grady hoots and grabs me by the shoulders, giving me a good shake. Patrick, Cullen, and Maxwell come running into the room. As soon as they assess the situation, they chuckle and leave.
“Good girl! Fuck yes, lass! That’s how you do it,” Grady praises.
Even though I’m proud of myself, and I want to celebrate taking a giant beast of a man down, I can’t help but drop to my knees beside Bash and start apologizing.
“Oh my God, I’m so sorry. Are you okay?”
“Jesus, motherfucker,” he groans. “You’re an evil little thing, you know that?”
I can’t help but giggle. Only because he’s no longer clutching his balls, so I don’t think I hurt him too badly. “I guess you’d like to retract that statement about me hitting like a girl?”
He rolls his eyes. “Aye. I was wrong, lass. But fuck, I wanted to have kids one day. You didn’t have to take that away from me.”
When he winks at me, I know he’s giving me a hard time. I can’t stop myself from leaning down to hug him. After all, he took a knee to the balls to teach me how to defend myself.
“What the fuck is going on here?” Killian demands.
I startle and try to pull away from Bash, but he doesn’t let me go. Instead, he pulls me on top of him and squeezes me tighter.
“Scarlet’s comforting me because my balls hurt,” Bash replies.
Killian looks like he’s about to murder Bash, so I wiggle out of his hold and sit up on my knees.
“I kneed him in the balls,” I blurt out.
Daddy looks at me with a puzzled expression.
“We were teaching her self-defense,” Grady says.
I point at Bash. “He said I hit like a girl. I taught him a lesson.”
Bash shoves my arm so I fall over, and I giggle.
“She’s ruthless, just like her sister,” he growls.
The corners of Killian’s mouth pull back into a proud smile before he scoops me off the floor. “You kicked his ass, huh? That’s my girl.”
Both Grady and Bash go silent as they watch in shocked silence as I nuzzle into his chest and sigh contentedly. I miss my sister immensely, but being surrounded by these big guys isn’t so bad.
“I have to go,” Killian says.
My skin prickles, and my chest immediately aches. “Go where?”
“Declan and I are going to meet some people we know who might be able to help us track down the men who are after us. I’ll fly back tonight before bed.”
