CHAPTER 24
Dutton
When someone advises I donât kill a particular person, I usually do the opposite and kill the fucker. However, the threat of Posie quitting seemed too high of a risk because she was deadly serious.
If Posie was at a cemetery, itâs likely she buried someone she cares about there, and I need to know who it is. So before leaving Boston, I call Will Walker. My desire to figure her out myself no longer matters. I want and need to know everything about her because I never want to see that level of fear in her eyes again. Iâve seen so many sides of Posieâsassy, sexy, intelligent, mischievous, and flashes of her monstrous temperament. But Iâve never witnessed fear in her, and Iâm willing to hunt down every fucker who ever made her feel that way.
I trail behind her, weaving between cars, making sure no one is following her and sheâs safe. When she pulls onto her street, I keep driving because I donât trust myself around her right now. Not because I think Iâll hurt her. I know no matter the circumstance, I could never hurt her. Iâm giving her space because, with how she looked at me, Iâd most likely only make matters worse until she cools down and processes what happened today. That, and Will has already sent me the information on her, which leads me to believe that perhaps my little blonde monster isnât so much of a mystery at all.
Iâm not surprised to see Eliâs car sitting outside when I arrive at my brownstone. I curse under my breath as I park my motorcycle on the street and take my helmet off. Hawke, Ford, and Eli step out of the car.
âYouâve been busy,â Eli states after taking one look at me.
âI didnât kill him,â I say matter-of-factly as I unlock the door and open it. They follow me inside.
âNo, you didnât kill him, but you put the kid in the hospital, and I got a call from their president asking why you were even on their turf. What the fuck happened?â Eli asks expectantly.
I go into the living room and grab my laptop so I can open the files Will sent over. I havenât come down from the adrenaline high from earlier, and I didnât get my release by carving a message into his chest, so I need something to grasp onto to make sense of all of this.
âDutton,â Eli says, and it draws my attention. âJesus, youâve got blood all over yourself.â He goes into the kitchen and comes back with a wet cloth.
Hawke goes into the pantry and grabs a bag of chips and a bar of chocolate, throwing the sweets to Ford, whoâs taken a seat across from me. Theyâre just making themselves right at home, arenât they?
Eli throws the wet towel at me, and I notice my face in the reflection of the laptop screen as I dab the cloth over it. Damn, she got me pretty good on the cheek with that car key, and yet I couldnât be fucking prouder of her.
