Chapter Nine

Sierra

Terror.

The unknown of who was outside had been terrifying in every manner.

The trip had been harrowing given the snow and ice, but at least Dante had proven to be kind as well as communicative.

Yet I’d worried the entire time, unable to relax, especially since Dante had continuously glanced into the rearview mirror. As if monsters were on our tail.

As if one or both of us would die.

Now this.

My stomach churned, my heart beating rapidly from the tragedy that might have occurred as well as knowing Lorenzo had come to find us. As if he actually cared. I wanted so much to believe so, although I barely knew him any longer.

I’d thought of nothing but the rugged man since being dragged out of his house. There was no rhyme or reason, other than knowing he was hiding his true self from the world.

And I wanted to be the one to rip apart the shields of steel.

I was a stupid girl to think fantasies could actually come true.

My scream cut through the air the moment the gun was fired, the horrible grunting sound as Dante fell to the floor remaining like a dense roar in my ears. Everything moved in slow motion as I twisted my head from right to left. Everything was dark, the blackness suffocating.

“Sierra!” Lorenzo bellowed out my name, his hand wrapping around my arm and allowing him to yank me against his chest.

“Oh, my God, you killed him. You killed Dante,” I muttered, uncertain of what had just occurred, blood rushing to my head.

“Fuck. Fuck!” he hissed then kissed the top of my head. “Are you all right?”

“Yes. Yes... Please check on Dante.”

“Jesus, boss. Just a couple more inches and I would be dead,” Dante managed, grumbling under his breath. “Maybe I should be glad your aim is off.”

“What the hell is going on? Why didn’t you return my calls?” Lorenzo demanded.

Suddenly, a light filled the room, the beam moving from my face to Dante’s.

Dante groaned and struggled to get to his feet. I rushed to his side, trying to help in any way I could. “I’m fine, Sierra. The bullet just nicked my shoulder. Flesh wound. Trust me, I’ve had much worse.”

Lorenzo exhaled. “I had no way of knowing what the fuck was going on. There was zero communication.” He was exasperated, something I would never have expected.

“Sorry about that, boss, but with the storm, cell phone service was down, and I knew you wanted me to get her to safety. I thought the storm would break.”

“And the damn power?” Lorenzo demanded.

“Don’t bark at him,” I snapped, hearing the quiver in my voice.

“That’s all right, Sierra. I was supposed to call in. I should have found a way,” Dante said before grimacing. “The power is on. When I saw the headlights coming up the road, I turned off all the lights and I kept watch just like you ordered.” He moved into the main room and within seconds, light flooded the downstairs.

Lorenzo seemed shaken, his eyes sweeping the cabin as if he anticipated there would be masked men holding us at gunpoint.
