Chapter Nineteen

Ally

Darkness surrounds me as the waves crash against the shore and I sprint down toward the shoreline, heading in the direction of the dock I spotted earlier in the day.

Miguel and I spent the afternoon and well into the evening outside soaking in the sun. I’d begun to fear what would happen when we got back up to the house. However, luck had been on my side for a change rather than against me. Miguel had an emergency call come in from one of his associates that I was unable to sit in on and I’d been sent to our room to await him.

It was the first time I had to myself the entire time I’ve been here. I took advantage of it and quietly slipped out one of the many doors. As I’d slinked alongside the house, making sure no one saw me, I thought my heart would pound out of my chest.

My heart still feels as if it were about to shoot straight out of my body as I run as fast as I can.

Panting for breath, I can hear the yelling from behind me as they’ve realized I’ve escaped.

Hurry up! my brain screams out as I push myself to move even faster.

“Don’t let her get to the boats,” I hear someone order from somewhere behind me.

Right before I get to the dock, I’m tackled from behind. “Nice try, puta, but you’re not goin’ anywhere,” one of Miguel’s men growls.

Screaming, I do my best to get away from him, to fight back. So close, I can’t stop now.

When he flips me to my back, I attempt to kick out, but he blocks it from making contact.

“Stupid puta,” he spits in my face.

“Call her a puta again and see what happens,” a voice I know all too well growls at the same time I hear a gun being cocked.

Glancing beyond the man pinning me down into the sand, I find not only Burner but also my brother, Rage, and Gadget.

As the guard slowly stands, he throws a sneer at me. “I knew you’d be nothing but trouble,” he mutters.

Before I realize what’s happening, a gun goes off, hitting the man right between his eyes.

“Firefly, you okay,” Burner asks as he kneels next to me.

My ears ringing as I meet his gaze, I can’t help but stare at him, seeing how beautiful he is even when his eyes are lit up like liquid fire.

“You’re here,” I murmur in a daze.

“Yeah, baby, I’m here,” he says, cupping my cheeks.

“Don’t have time for this, brother. We gotta get her out of here,” Rage mutters.

Burner nods his head as he lifts me up off the sand, drawing me into his arms. “I want you to go wait on the boat over there. I’m sending you with Gadget. We’ll be right behind you, okay,” Burner whispers, his lips so close to mine.

“But I don’t wanna leave you. Please, don’t make me,” I plead as tears sting my eyes. I can’t leave him, not right now.
