Chapter Nine

Sloane pulled up short. Dickhead held something—a box cutter?—too damned close to Kat’s throat. Quickly he calculated the distance between them.

Six feet.

Completely doable. The fucker was dead.

“Sloane.”

Kat’s voice throbbed. He didn’t take his eyes off that blade, but he could hear the mix of fear and anger boiling in that one word.

“Right here. Don’t move.” Sloane kept his voice low and reassuring. She needed to trust him, let him work around her so she didn’t get cut.

“I’m not tapping out.”

Kat’s weight shifted slightly, just enough to alert Sloane that she was realigning her body exactly as he’d taught her. A powerful sensation slammed straight into him. He didn’t need words, he knew what she wanted.

To fight back herself.

Each cell he had screamed No! Fuck no! Adrenaline rushed to dump more power into his muscles and bones. Everything in him primed to attack. To rescue his woman. Get her safe and kill Dickhead.

“Please.”

The soft plea undid him. Kat needed to fight back, and Sloane understood it right to his soul. It was like his need to kill Lee Foster. “If he hurts you, he’s dead.”

“Shut up.” David rocked on his feet, twitching that blade too fucking close to Kat’s throat.

Sloane heard the commotion behind him. Kat’s parents came out of the house. “David, what the hell are you doing?” William Thayne bellowed.

David shifted his gaze, his arm going lax around her neck.

In the same instant Kat linked her hands and shoved them under David’s arms, forcing the weapon away from her. The blade bounced on the driveway.

Sloane leaped forward to assist but stopped short, utterly entranced. Fierce determination flashed across Kat’s face. She had this, and it was fucking beautiful to see his kitten explode into a lioness.

Kat spun to the side, slamming her left elbow into David’s ribs.

“Oof!”

Seamlessly, she followed that move by shoving the heel of her other hand into the base of his nose.

The impact knocked David back into the car with a satisfying thud.

Kat stumbled from the momentum. Sloane caught her upper arms, steadying her.

David slapped his hands over his nose and curled over his bent knees. “You hit me.”

“You threatened me with a scalpel.” She bounced up on her toes.

“I wasn’t going to cut you.” He bunched the end of his lab coat and held it to his gushing nostrils. “You broke my nose.”

“What the hell were you doing?” William stared at David like some foreign creature had dared to slither onto his driveway. “I saw you with that scalpel at my daughter’s throat.”

“I don’t… What’s happening?” Diana looked between David and Kat, her eyes glazed with shock.

Sloane was so done with this. “Dickhead attacked Kat, and she fought back.” Pulling her back to his chest, he looked down at her face. “Beautiful, Kitten. Exactly as we trained.”

She leaned into him, tilting her head up. “He let go of me. When Finn and his thugs showed up that night, David grabbed my arm. But when Finn applied pressure to his wrist, he let go. Let them have me.
