ELEVEN

Ethan curled his shoulder in and heaved forward just as lights illuminated around him. His opponent’s head bent forward, taking the hit with resistance and pushing back. All Ethan could see was the top of a black-haired military cut. Not Pace with his shaved head. Holding back in this fight was over. If that meant this would be to the death, then that was what it would be.

Ethan twisted and used his arm to lift the man’s head just enough smash his forehead into his opponent’s nose.

Blood splattered everywhere. The man hollered out in pain, his grip on Ethan’s arms slackened.

Ethan spearheaded forward, taking the inch in this fight. He lifted his arm and broke free of the hold at the same time he jammed his elbow in the man’s solar plexus.

“Stop!” a woman shouted from somewhere, but Ethan only zeroed in on his next move and took it. However, his opponent had anticipated the move and instead of the guy groveling on his knees, Ethan found himself hunched over, taking a hit to the gut.

He rushed forward at full strength. The guy slammed against the wall so hard that Ethan reverberated with him.

“I said, stop! Right now! Both of you! Stop!” The woman’s voice registered as belonging to Roni. Ethan stepped back from his opponent, though not sure why he felt the need to listen to her and not finish the man.

His opponent groaned and lifted his head, his eyes also trying to focus on their surroundings.

The two of them heaved with crashing adrenaline, both unsure of why they were stopping from killing each other.

Except, Ethan knew why he stopped.

Because it was Roni who begged him to.

Ethan looked at the man and thought maybe he was her ex-fiancé. He tried to remember the head-shot of Jared Finlay he had in her file. This man didn’t look like Jared, but still, something in him sickened at the thought of her harboring feelings for the man who used and abused her so badly. She may not see it as abuse, but abuse came in many forms, and any man who made her feel as though she had to cover herself up was someone who used his influence to keep her down. That was abuse in Ethan’s book.

His fists curled. Didn’t she see Jared wasn’t the man for her? That she deserved someone who loved her completely, mind, body and soul. A whole person, just as she wanted to be viewed. Someone who saw her beauty and intelligence and wanted to show her off, not hide her away.

If this wasn’t Jared, was there another man in her life? Were his intentions legit? A desire to protect her from another man’s schemes to use her overcame Ethan.

“Who are you and what do you want with Roni?” Ethan said, his voice low.

The man sneered. “I could ask the same of you.”

Ethan studied the man’s face at his confusing words.

Blue eyes that sparked in the same icy hue as Roni’s looked back at him.
