Chapter Eight

Dwayne inhaled the sweet scent of Charity in his arms. Last night Beast had gotten in touch asking for his help, so he’d met Caleb and Beast at the office downtown. It was a tape that had been sent to them that showed something that made him want to vomit. The abuse of children, sexual and physical. Dwayne didn’t even need to be told what to do. He asked for the contact details and proceeded to hunt those bastards down.

Both of his uncles had joined him as he went after them. The children had been so scared, but with Beast and Caleb’s help, along with their contacts in law enforcement, they were going to live happy lives soon.

“It’s okay. You’re fine. I’m here,” Charity said.

Beast had wanted Dwayne to go home with him.

Dwayne had other ideas. Charity was the only one he wanted to see. When he saw the graduation ceremony, he’d wanted to go and steal her from the stage, to take her away. He’d watched her with her family, and he’d yearned for that kind of love.

It had been a long time since he’d ever wanted anything in his life, but when it came to Charity, he found himself wanting something. When she’d been standing alone, looking a little lost, he knew he had to help her. To take her away from feeling alone. He understood it, and he didn’t feel she needed to change at all.

You’re supposed to be making her love tonight, not hate it.

“Let’s get out of here,” he said.

“You’re sure?”

“Yeah, this place sucks.” He pulled out some dollar bills, dropping them down onto the table. It was more than they needed for the price of the shots and beer, so it wasn’t a problem. Keeping hold of Charity’s hand, he made his way back out to the car.

It was a crazy fucking day already, but he opened the door for her.

“Are you sure you’re okay to drive? You’ve had a few shots.”

“I’ll be fine. Don’t worry.” He closed her door, got behind the wheel, and took off back to his apartment. The drive helped to clear his mind, and he gripped the steering wheel tighter than he needed to.

“Thank you,” she said.

“What for?”

“For coming today. For taking me out and, I don’t know, just not leaving me there all alone.”

He didn’t say anything as there wasn’t anything that he could. She needed someone, and like all parents, hers failed to see the problem, or didn’t want to.

Driving across town, he slowed down his speed as he made his way toward his apartment. The music was turned down low, and he breathed out a sigh of relief when he finally pulled into his parking lot.

By the time he was out of the car, Charity was already standing beside him, a slight smile on her lips.

With her hand in his, he made his way to the elevator.

“Is this where you brought me that night?” she asked, referring to the night he saved her.

“Yes.”

“Oh.”

“You don’t remember?”

“Vaguely. I’ve wondered where you’ve lived for a few months now.
