Chapter Eighteen

By the time Breaker had a chance to call the bar and talk to Savannah the night before, he knew she would've already gone upstairs to the apartment. Sleep had not come easily.

It was around five now. He knew she would be at the bar. When he called, Angie answered and said they were swamped, then asked if he was okay. He told her yes and that he would probably be back Saturday, then let her get back to work.

He could kick himself for not getting Savannah a cell phone. He would rectify that as soon as he returned home. Swamped or not, he wanted to talk to her. Angie had ended the conversation too damn quick.

His mind filled with visions of her lying in bed, her hair spread out around her. She’d be naked beneath the covers, and she would look at him with a silent invitation in her eyes.

"Savannah must be some kind of woman," Carter said.

Breaker jerked his mind away from his fantasy and focused on his friend. "What do you mean?"

“You've been in a daze. I've been talking to you for the last few minutes, and I don't think you heard a word I said. I figure you're hung up on this woman and thinking about her."

Carter pulled up a chair and sat across the table where Breaker was seated. He and Breaker were about the same size, both had dark hair, but that was where the similarities had ended. Breaker had grown up poor as dirt. Carter was a senator’s son. The golden boy who was supposed to follow in his father’s footsteps but rebelled instead. Carter had decided a long time ago to walk his own path. Right now, Breaker knew there was more that Carter wanted to say, but he was holding back.

“Just spit it out,” he finally said.

Carter released a deep sigh and met Breaker’s gaze. "I hope you haven't forgotten what happened with Brianna. She did a number on you. Almost got you killed. It took you a long time to get over her. Don't let Savannah do the same thing."

"Savannah is different. She's special."

"Her father sold her to someone in the drug cartel. She can’t be all that innocent. Not anymore. She had to have seen what was going on with Marco."

He shook his head. "She was nothing more than his property. Yes, she knows what kind of man he is and that he's a drug dealer. She doesn't know anything about his shipments or how he runs his business."

He shrugged. "She was with him for a long time. She may have known more than she's letting on."

"She was just a kid when he bought her. Only fourteen."

"But now she's nineteen,” Carter said. “You can learn a lot in five years."

"Nineteen? No, she's twenty-two."

Carter hesitated.

Breaker’s eyes narrowed. “What? No, she told me she was twenty-two.”

"She lied to you. She's only nineteen. Almost twenty." Carter studied him. "She might have lied about other things as well. Are you sure you want to take this guy down and get in this deep? It's not too late to call this off.
