Chapter 8

Jack stewed in silence as he walked Harley around the block to the small park. The late afternoon breeze blew over his face, and he stood for a moment breathing it in. He needed to cool his temper down, losing it would do nothing to gain Rose’s confidence. But when he’d seen the deep indentation of the ink on her foot he’d wanted to rip someone’s head off, preferably the bitch that’d kidnapped her.

His mind had constantly gone over yesterday when she had put herself at risk by following a car she knew nothing about, and not satisfied with giving him a cardiac arrest, she’d used a fucking Taser. She could have gotten herself killed. It was quite possible that she had made things a lot worse by taking the young girl. The person she’d used the Taser on was most likely used to coerce the young girls and then kidnap them.

His eyes crunched shut, the burning behind them was anger at the thought of anyone touching or hurting Rose. His heart punched against his ribs. This was what it was like to worry about someone…to care.

He really didn’t know her at all. What lengths had Rose gone to in order to survive? Her instincts for survival were admirable.

He looked down at Harley who sat waiting for Jack to throw his ball. Taking it from his drooling mouth, he hurled it. The power driven muscles that the dog had was proof of the lengths Rose had gone to train him and herself.

She was a black belt in taekwondo, extremely fit, and he had no doubt that she would put up one hell of a fight if needed. However, if there had been more than one of them she would have been in trouble, and he might not have gotten to her before they’d taken her as well.

He’d left her chatting with Daisy, because he couldn’t stand to listen anymore. Micah had been on the phone talking to their business partner Kent.

“So this is where you got to,” Micah said, walking up to stand beside him.

“Needed to clear my head.”

Micah was silent, and Harley came back, panting. The dog sat in front of Jack, waiting for him to take the drool covered ball. His long, bushy tail was swishing from side to side on the grass. Micah bent down, taking the ball from his mouth, and took a long swing back, throwing it further than Jack could ever do.

“You’ve still got a great right swing,” Jack commented.

“Yes, those were the days—beer, baseball, and women, in that order.”

Jack laughed. “In that order? Really? Because I remember it being slightly different.” Before Daisy, when they’d been young bucks, it had been a different life that they’d enjoyed.

Micah grinned. “Okay then, women, baseball, and drink.”

Jack chuckled. “That’s more like it.” He frowned. “But you’re happy now?”

“Happier than I’ve ever been. Meeting Daisy was the best thing that ever happened to me.”

“You were always fucking lucky with the good looking women.” He laughed.
