Chapter Fifteen

Razor carried Isabella to the sofa. He sat, angling her close to his pounding heart. She caressed the scars beneath his shirt, regretting the strain she continued to burden him with.

After a couple of cleared throats and a host of shuffling feet, Mason forged through the awkward silence. “Isabella, if you never…”

He glanced at his partner for assistance.

“Consummated your marriage.” Tyler supplied a polite alternative.

“Yeah, if you never did that, you can file for an annulment. We googled it to be sure. I don’t think you need these pictures to break things off with Malcolm, honey. Maybe you’d better tell us how you came by them. And why—”

“You don’t understand.” She cut him off before he could speculate further. “He’ll fight me leaving.”

Razor gripped her tighter to his chest when she shuddered.

“He still loves you?” Clint’s innocent question broke her heart.

“He never loved me.”

“Ah, sweetheart, things might be in the crapper now but I’m sure that’s not true. What did he do, cheat on you?” Matt patted her knee.

She scanned the faces ringing her, surrounding her with their strength. Jeremy sat by Razor’s side, rubbing her feet from his spot in the middle of the couch. Clint took up the far end. Mason and Tyler perched on the scarred coffee table facing them, while Matt kneeled on the carpet beside the couch.

It was now or never.

“He’s accepting bids on my virginity. He hopes to sell me to one of his sleazeball friends.”

She whimpered when Razor’s fingers gouged her bruised rib and her scraped knee.

Amid the curses and sick expressions, Jeremy remained the voice of reason. “Start from the beginning, baby.”

“I already told James about my marriage. You saw the pictures. Malcolm isn’t emotionally or physically capable of a traditional relationship.” She took pride in her calm explanation. “The two-second version is that I’m unbelievably gullible. I thought he wanted me, instead of a permanent partnership with my father. His shortcomings wouldn’t have mattered if he loved me. We could have figured things out. I tried to stick around, to help him…”

She gulped past the knot in her throat. How could she have been so stupid?

“The fucking asshole doesn’t deserve you.” James squeezed her as though he’d never abandon her. “Explain what you said before. What makes you think he’d do…that?”

The raw fury in his quiet question frightened her. She glanced around at the other men in blue for help. All of them together could restrain Razor if needed, right?

Mason crossed his tree-trunk arms over his mammoth chest, nodding in her direction.

“Malcolm’s been in a great mood lately. Almost like old times. We were growing closer, I thought we might start overcoming some of our issues. One night, he asked if I would go out. I thought he planned an early anniversary celebration. He suggested I wear a little black dress, a pair of Jimmy Choo’s, my grandmother’s pearl necklace, the garters and silk stockings I’d ordered hoping…”

She cleared her throat when Razor growled.

“He even encouraged me to use the perfume my father gave me as a wedding gift.
