CHAPTER TWELVE

Olivia

The minutes tick by like tiny lifetimes. The more of them that pass and I don’t see Isabella come out the door, the more anxious I become.

Cash said he’d send her right out, but what if something has happened and he can’t? Or what if there’s a problem of some sort? And here I sit with my thumb up my ass. That’s not very smart or assertive, is it?

Nope, I don’t think so.

It only takes about three of those types of self-contained conversations to convince me to leave the car and head back inside. I open the door as slowly and quietly as I can, just in case anyone is near. The coast seems clear, so I step inside and let the door fall quietly closed. The club is eerily silent for a few seconds, but then I hear a strangled moan coming from the bathroom. A cold chill runs through me. It was a manly moan. One that could easily have come from Cash.

My heart thuds loudly in my ears as I debate for all of three seconds what to do. And then I’m running, as fast as I can, across the bar and to the bathrooms. I stop between the ladies and the men’s room, pausing for three pulse beats as I wait for another sound to tell me which side the noise is coming from.

And then I hear another low moan. I push open the door to the men’s room and pull up on a gasp when I see the back of Jason King as he bends over someone in the floor. I see the muscles flex and I see black-booted feet jerk before a garbled gurgle fills the room. Jason speaks softly to the person, the person I assume is the man he was apprehending when we walked in a few minutes ago. I can’t make out his words, as he leans in close to say them. The message is clear, however. There is so much menace in his voice that it sends a chill through the room, cold enough to freeze me where I stand.

I haven’t made a single sound, but as though he can sense me, Jason straightens and turns toward me. His honey eyes are black as night and his brows are intense slashes over them.

“This is no place for you, Olivia,” he states quietly. His comment is full of care and concern for me, which is odd considering the situation I found him in. Even now, one hand is hidden from my view, but the way the rope-like muscles shift and strain under his skin, I know he’s holding the man still. The sheer strength and skill in that single move boggles my mind and brings home the real dangerousness of what’s happening here.

“Cash…I…He said he’d send Isabella,” I mumble.

Jason’s tight expression loosens ever so slightly. “Give me two minutes and I’ll bring him to you, but right now you need to go back outside, sweetheart.” As though he’s dealing with a scared child, he nods encouragingly.
