Chapter Twenty-Seven

The meetup with Damian is in a few days at Hard Knocks. They want to make it look like Damian is going in for a workout, nothing strange or out of place.

The closer Saturday gets, the more my nerves pick up. The only thing I can do is focus on hitting the punching bag repeatedly. And I do this until Luca pulls me from it and makes me ice my hands. I just needed the pain to take away from all the other racing thoughts, and he knows that part of me. The part that likes to hurt herself to feel a little bit better. A little more alive.

“What’s going on inside that pretty little head, Killer?” He stares over at me from the driver’s seat while downshifting.

The woods I’ve fallen in love with engulf us, welcoming us back. I stare out the window, watching the landscape blur by.

“Just wondering if I’m strong enough for what’s about to come.” I pause and take a deep breath. “I want to believe all the training has prepared me, but mentally, facing them, will I fold into myself, Luca? Will I fumble and become their victim…again?” I ask while laying my head back onto the headrest, looking at his beautiful profile, trying to commit every detail to memory, just in case there is a heaven, I can remember every bit of him and take it with me.

Suddenly, Luca pulls the wheel to the right, stepping hard on his breaks, veering to the side of the road, and throwing the car into the park. He turns to me, those eyes gazing into my soul. I watch as he opens his mouth, thinks twice, and closes it, second-guessing what he’s going to say, finally letting it out. “Rowan. Going in with that thinking won’t help any of us. I’m not saying we’re not coming out with some scratches but baby, we’re coming out of there…no matter what.”

I turn my head so he won’t be able to see the tears escaping, but I feel his calloused hand on my chin, pulling it to face him.

“Don’t hide those from me,” he says while leaning over and licking a tear off my cheek. Fuck, why does he have to do shit like that? I’m trying to have a damn breakdown.

“No fair, Luca.” I pout. He licks his lip, smirking.

“Come here,” he growls out, and I climb over the gearshift, spreading my legs and straddling on him.

Face to face.

He takes my face into his big hands and clasps it, stroking my cheeks with his thumbs. “I know this is scary. I would be worried if you weren’t scared. All this has led you here. It’s all led you to me and me to you. You’ve trained so hard, baby. You’re ready. We’re ready. And I can’t wait to see you soaked with their blood. I’m going to fuck you while it’s drying on your skin. Make you scream my name while their life essence is still on your hands.
