CHAPTER 22

Twisting her neck, Kate scanned the garage behind her. As she honed in on the powerful body laid out on the floor, a sudden coldness hit her core.

She’d expected Tiago to be the only one standing, not face down in blood with a man pounding fist after fist into his ribs.

Her hand squeezed around the tire iron, clanking the handcuffs.

She needed to leave.

Right now.

Tiago stretched an arm toward the machete, but it lay too far out of reach.

Her shoes turned into blocks of cement.

Fucking goddammit!

Across the garage, Arturo wrestled another man in and out of a choke hold. The rest were dead or too injured to move.

Tiago continued to lie there as that fucker pounded fists into his back and ribs. He just took it, his legs twitching as he absorbed every strike.

Her heart cried out, and her molars slammed together, grinding hard enough to break enamel.

Before her brain caught up, her legs were moving, carrying her toward him as fast as she could run.

She was neither stealthy nor strong. But she was quick, approaching the man’s back and smacking the tire iron into his head before he knew what hit him.

He toppled over, and she continued to swing, slamming the metal rod into his skull, again and again. She didn’t stop hitting until strong arms banded around her, yanking her back, pulling her away.

The weapon fell from her hands, and she turned, stunned so completely she felt as though she were floating outside of her body.

Lifting her head, she stared into Tiago’s impossibly gorgeous eyes and swayed. Or maybe the room was swaying.

No, it was him.

She grabbed his leather-clad arms and steadied him. “Are you okay?”

“I am now.” He tiptoed ice-cold fingers along her jaw, leaned in, and stopped before their lips made contact. “Got a lot to say and do to you, but we need to go.”

A scream sounded from an office-like room in the front of the garage. A woman’s scream.

His face tightened, and he bent down to snatch the machete from the floor.

On the other side of the room, Arturo snapped up his head, where he stepped through piles of carnage, stabbing anyone who still lived.

“Who is that?” Kate shifted toward the office.

A slender figure emerged in the doorway. Short black hair. Seductive mouth. Iliana.

Why was she in that room and not fighting alongside the others? Was she hiding?

Iliana spotted Tiago and ran toward him. “Jefe, oh my God! You made it!”

He gave Kate’s hand a squeeze and prowled ahead, toward the approaching woman, slowly, stiffly, letting the machete hang from his lolling fingers.

Was he tilting a little to the side?

Blood covered him from head to toe. His clothes were an utter mess and would need to be burned, but there weren’t any concentrated stains. Nothing to indicate the blood was coming from him.

As she studied his gait, he seemed steady. Strong. He’d taken a helluva beating and was probably in a world of hurt.

“I was so afraid they got you.” Iliana raced toward him and raised her arms, as if to embrace him.
