Anthony

The sun was beginning to rise.

I hadn’t slept all night, not a single wink.

Holding Shelby tight in my arms, I’d done nothing but stare at her.

I’d counted her breaths, memorized the beat of her heart, and continuously run my fingers through her silky hair. And I did all of this while simultaneously plotting the death of a man named Damien.

I needed more information about who he was and how I could find him. I’d been on the verge of pushing Shelby to tell me more the night before but thought better of it. After watching her suffer through a panic attack, I knew I couldn’t force her.

She’d tell me when she was ready.

I only hoped she was ready sooner rather than later.

After hearing how she’d grown up and what her mother had done to her just so she could score free dope, I was on the verge of snapping a few necks. I’d never been a violent person, but I knew without a shadow of a doubt that I could end Shelby’s mother’s life without batting an eye.

The woman didn’t deserve to live after what she’d done.

Selling her own daughter for drugs on top of all the other stuff she’d already made her suffer through? Mother or not, she needed to be put in the ground.

And Damien—I still didn’t know who he was or what he’d done, but I was going to find out, and when I did, I’d likely need to dig a hole big enough to bury two bodies.

Knowing that someone had hurt Shelby made my blood run cold. How anybody could cause her harm, I didn’t know. She was beyond beautiful, had a heart of gold, and was an amazing mother. Even after all the stuff she’d endured, she was still standing when most people would’ve fallen apart long ago. Despite what life had thrown at her, she’d laced up her boots, dug in her heels and fought to keep going.

My girl was mighty. Fierce.

I was so damn proud of her.

“Tony,” Shelby’s groggy voice cut through my thoughts, “you awake, sugar?”

I ran a fingertip down the side of her face. “Yeah, baby.” Rolling to her back, she opened her eyes and looked up at me. A small smile spread across her sleepy face and my stomach twisted in knots. This is what I want to wake up to every day for the rest of my life. Throat thick with emotion, I choked out, “Morning, gorgeous.”

Rolling to my side, I cupped her face in my hands. I couldn’t resist waiting another second to taste her lips. My head dipped, and our mouths met. Shelby moaned in response and wrapped a hand around my bicep.

Licking along the seam of her lips, I beckoned her to open for me.

She did.

Sliding closer, she pressed her chest into mine. My hand slid from her hip to her lower back. Her tongue slipped into my mouth, and an electric current surged through me.

Jesus Christ.

When she wrapped her little hand around my hard cock, I ripped my mouth from hers.
