Chapter Eleven

A rush of adrenaline shot through her as a light flashed in her face.

“What the hell?” Bobby growled, keeping her pinned to the wall by his grip on her throat. “If it isn’t Isabel Falcon. What can I do for you, sweetcakes?” His voice shifted into something more sinister, making the skin along her neck crawl. “Did you finally come to get some of Bobby?”

He forced her back hard against the cabin wall so that she felt each individual log along her spine. She told herself to stay calm, not to panic, but her pulse crazily thump-thump-thumped.

Though she was desperate to know if Lucy was inside, Isabel tried lying so he would let her go. “I didn’t have any idea you were here, Bobby Soto. I was just taking a night ride and my horse had trouble coming up the hill. He’s limping a little.” Her voice sounded ready to break. She gasped and finished. “I came to the house to see if I could use a phone to call for help.”

He laughed. “Why didn’t you just use your cell? And don’t tell me you don’t have it on you. I can feel it in your pocket.” He rocked his hips against hers, pressing the cell into her flesh.

Reminding Isabel of the way he’d treated her at the Coyote Lounge.

Flushing, she wondered if he could feel the sheathed knife, as well. Wondered if she could get to it to force him off her.

“I couldn’t get a signal.” She could hardly force out the words.

“Bullshit!”

Anger trumped the ball of fear for Lucy crowding her chest. “We’re not teenagers any more, Bobby!” she yelled, shoving at him so his hand loosened a bit. “Let go of me, right now!”

“Or you’ll what? You came to me. You must want something.”

Lucy. She wanted Lucy!

No longer keeping up the pretense, she cried, “I want my daughter back!”

“Did you misplace her?” he asked with a sneer.

Isabel couldn’t believe he could joke about a thing like this. She was breaking inside and he was laughing at her. “What have you done with Lucy, you bastard? You would really use a little girl for revenge?”

Bobby tightened his grip on her throat again. “I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about! Revenge for what? Because of things that happened when we were teenagers? That was a lifetime ago! You’re not even on my radar any more.”

Unable to back up, Isabel kept on the offensive. “I don’t believe it. You’re taking revenge against my little girl, because she described your brother’s lowrider to the police after the school bus accident.”

Bobby was silent for a moment before narrowing his gaze on her. “That’s right. The little bitch did squeal on Hank, didn’t she…”

As if he’d never considered it. Sure, Isabel was really going to believe that. She pleaded, “Let her go, Bobby, please!”

“Get it through your head, Isabel. I don’t have your damn brat.”

The next “Let her go, Bobby” came from behind him.

Even as Bobby turned, Micah grabbed him and pulled him off her.
