Chapter Six

“What do you think we can do about this?” Quinn looked toward the backdoor. The rain had yet to let up, and he saw pools of water in the backyard.

He kept reassuring Stevie that he would protect him, but Quinn hadn’t a clue how to go about doing it. He could track Neal down and take the son of a bitch out, but that wouldn’t stop Mr. Bodega from sending someone else.

Mr. Bodega’s complaint was legit. Cliff Tucker had welched on his debt. Fine. He could take his pound of flesh from Stevie’s dad. That wasn’t any of Quinn’s business, and he didn’t give a rat’s ass what happened to the drunken, abusive asshole.

But the guy was targeting Stevie, someone who had nothing to do with his dad’s degenerate behavior. “Maybe I can talk to Mr. Bodega,” Quinn said. “Make him see reason.”

Hayward cut his eyes at Quinn. His features were neutral, a mask covering his true feelings. Quinn’s brother had never been the fun-loving type, not one to laugh much, but something had happened to him in the past ten years since the O’Brien men had been apart.

Hayward lived inside his own head now. Worse than before. He hardly said much, was always watching them, and Quinn hated that his brother was so closed off.

“You say this Bodega guy took Stevie’s mom?” Hayward asked.

“According to Stevie’s dad.”

“I’m not mounting a rescue until I have all the facts.” Hayward smoothed his hand down his beard. “It would be suicidal to hard-charge into enemy territory, especially if she’s not there.”

“I don’t know Cliff Tucker,” Quinn said. “So I can’t say for sure if she really was taken.”

Quinn wouldn’t doubt that Cliff was lying. Anyone who had drank that much for so many years might have a lot of holes in their memory. For all Quinn knew, Stevie’s mom had finally had enough and left her husband.

Whatever the case, he wanted Stevie protected, happy, because that what his mate deserved.

“I’ll try to figure out if she’s there.” Hayward looked toward the kitchen doorway, which made Quinn turn around. There was no one was there, but then Nash walked in.

“What’re you guys talking about?” He grabbed a cup from the counter and poured himself a cup of coffee, sighing at his first sip.

It was early morning, and outside was getting lighter. The sun wasn’t going to shine today. More rain was predicted, and the heavy clouds still lingered.

As Nash and Hayward talked, Quinn thought about Stevie, about last night and how they’d had mind-blowing sex. How his mate had curled into Quinn afterward, as though it had been the most natural thing to do.

They just had to get past this disastrous situation, and Quinn would keep reaffirming to his mate how happy they could be together. How much joy a family could bring them.

“You’re definitely not going to see him,” Nash said, bringing Quinn out of his thoughts. “Men like that can’t be reasoned with.”

Quinn had worked as a bouncer in countless bars and clubs, had made good money in underground fights.
