CECILIA ONLY HALF listened as Brady drove and made a phone call. First she knew he was talking to the police. He was giving descriptions and accounts and locations of the fight that had transpired.

Cecilia closed her eyes against a wave of nausea. Four against one wasn’t such great odds and as much as she’d held her own she was pretty banged up. She’d never admit it to Brady because he’d fuss, but she wasn’t sure when she’d ever had such a bad beating.

But all four men would wind up in jail, and she would heal. So. There was that.

Brady made another call, driving too fast down deserted highways. She couldn’t watch or she’d throw up. At first she’d figured he was calling his brothers, or worse, a hospital. But then he’d said something about cabins and fishing and her brain was a little fuzzy.

It was hard to focus and think over the bright fire of pain in various parts of her body. Harder still not to whimper every time the truck hit a bump. But if she showed any outward signs of pain Brady was going to baby her even worse than carrying her around.

It had been kind of nice to be carried but it was certainly not behavior she wanted to encourage. Maybe it was the worst beating she’d ever gotten, but she’d been in her share of fights. Breaking them up, having big men take swings at her. She wasn’t some helpless stranger to a few punches.

Of course, she’d never been stabbed before, and she wasn’t quite sure how she was going to hide that from Brady. Surely she could find some Band-Aids and take care of it.

She winced a little, knowing it was probably too deep to be handled by a Band-Aid. It was fine, though. She’d figure it out. Brady would whisk her away to a hospital if he knew and that just couldn’t happen. Not now when they’d delivered a blow to Elijah.

God, he’d be pissed she’d taken on four of his men. It almost made her smile to think of.

She wasn’t sure if she’d fallen asleep or lost consciousness or what, but suddenly the truck was stopped and Brady was already standing outside. She tried to push herself up a little in her seat, but it nearly caused her to moan in pain.

She bit it back last minute as Brady was opening the passenger door.

“Where are we?” she demanded. She looked around, but nothing was familiar. They were on a little gravel lot and there was a scrubby little yard in front of a tiny, tiny cabin on a small swell of land.

Beyond the cabin was pure beauty. A sparkling lake stretching out far and wide, bracketed in by rolling rock. If she had to guess, they were closer to the Badlands than they’d been out in Valiant County.

It distracted her enough that Brady had her unbuckled and back in his arms before she had a chance to protest.

“I can walk, Brady.
