Chapter Twelve

Maggie woke slowly as the mid-morning sun filled the room and realized Aidan lay beside her, his arms around her. She wiggled against the warmth of his body, enjoying the feeling of being held. “Did you shift in the bed?”

“Quit it, rock star, unless you plan on making this a really good morning.” His breath on her neck made her smile, as did his words. She could feel him stirring against her backside. She wiggled one more time for effect before rolling over in his arms, her mouth searching for his.

“Son of a bitch.” Though spoken quietly, the anger behind it was evident, even without feeling his arms tighten around her. Maggie’s eyes popped open and the rage in his eyes made her hesitant.

“Aidan?”

“I’ll kill them. I swear to God, I’ll kill them.” She realized why he was so angry, and now that she thought about it the entire left side of her face ached. He leapt from the bed, naked, rifling through her drawer for the spare clothes he’d been keeping there.

“Aidan, baby, it can’t be that bad. I nearly broke that asshole’s nose and Gealach took a chunk out of the other one’s arm. Just let it go.” She sat up and the blanket he’d covered her with fell to her waist. He turned to say something, but the words died on his tongue when he saw the big, ugly bruises on her breast. The look of pure horror on his face made her glance down at herself and she gasped when she saw the marks the one named Mikey had left on her. Gingerly she pressed a finger to one; the bruises were more like welts and Maggie sucked in breath when it hurt. Aidan, barely able to contain his emotions, crossed to her and very gently pulled her into his arms, holding her.

“They hurt you.” His voice was so pained, her instinct was to soothe.

“It’s okay, baby. You saved me from the worst of it.”

“No. I didn’t. Gealach did.” He released her and continued getting dressed. “I should’ve let him rip out their throats like he wanted. Damn it, I don’t have shoes. Fuck it. I don’t need ‘em.” He stomped from the room. Throwing on her clothes from the night before as she went, Maggie followed him out of the room.

“Aidan, where are you going?” He was already part of the way to her car before she caught up, dangling her keys in front of him. His eyes flashed with impatience but he obviously realized those he did need.

“Red’s. That’s where you told them they’ll find their rifles. What they’re going to find is me.” Maggie thought quickly and came up with a plan.

“Okay, wait. I’ll get their rifles and go to town with you.”

“You get their rifles, but you’re not coming with me.”

“Then you’re not taking my car, buster.” She pushed her finger into his chest. “Bossing a woman around
