Chapter Thirteen

Anabeth

He wasn’t going to come to me.

I knew it, saw it on his face and in his hard stance. Bishop wanted to comfort me but wouldn’t allow himself that, and I deserved his distance. I could deal with my own adrenaline crash, though. I’d been dealing with fear and pain and heartbreak for a long time all by myself. Tonight was no different.

Well, the lust I felt in regards to seeing Bishop be so brave… That was new. He’d looked ready to kill, and for some crazy reason, I’d liked that. A lot. Too much.

With a sigh, Alder put Shye back on her own feet, though he kept her tucked into his side. He looked positively lethal in that moment as he towered over her. Her protector ready to knock everyone out of their way. “I’m taking her home.”

“Be careful out there,” Bishop said. He bumped fists with his brother and leaned in close to whisper to the little blonde, though I couldn’t hear what he had to say. She smiled, though, so it had to be something good.

When he rose to his full height once more, his eyes immediately zeroed in on mine, and this time, he looked pure predator. On the hunt and hungry, and I was his prey. My knees shook and my heart raced—that look. God, he didn’t even need to say a word to get me naked when he looked at me like that. He’d never been so bold, so confident. The man was a beast. He didn’t need to pick me up like Alder had Shye or soothe me with comforting words. His intentions were perfectly clear on his face.

I would be his tonight, and he wouldn’t be sweet about it.

“Let’s go.” Two words, that was all he gave me, but my breath caught and my hands shook. His intensity was hard enough to bear standing a room apart with others around us—I couldn’t imagine what would happen when we ended up alone. This was going to be the longest drive home ever.

I crossed the kitchen, making the move to bring us back together. To put us in the same space. His eyes nearly burned a hole through me as he waited, watching every step with interest. And when I finally reached him, when I stood close enough to smell his cologne, he grabbed my hand. Sparks tingled from that touch, and he branded me with a lustful look before turning and dragging me across the dining room. Without a single word of goodbye or thanks, I followed Bishop outside and through the rain to his truck. He opened the door for me but didn’t move out of the way, forcing me to rub against him as I passed, placing his hand on my ass to help me into the vehicle.

He was trying to kill me.

The rain splattered against the windshield, obscuring my view as he ran around the front and opened his door. Muscles bunched and stretched when he pulled himself inside, and then he was there.
