CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

“Sir, you need to step back and give me room to work.”

“I need to make sure she’s okay.” Rexar tightened his arm around RJ, banding it under his butt, and had the other on the center of his back to try and make him feel more secure and safe. His son’s arms tightened further around his neck. He hadn’t thought strangulation could ever feel so good, especially not with his background, but in this instance it did. RJ whimpered, and he stroked his hand up and down.

I hope to fuck I’m doing this right.

He tried for an apologetic smile in the direction of the paramedic working on Lily. But given how the man swallowed hard he was guessing it either came out as a scowl or a grimace.

“She just fainted and dropped to the floor.”

“She got punched too, I’m thinking.” The EMT lifted one eyelid carefully and then the other, checking her pupils.

His jaw tightened at the reminder. The only thing keeping him from looking for the asshole responsible was he didn’t know which asshole was the one to kick the shit out of.

“That man hit my momma.”

“Which one, son?” Rexar wasn’t above exploiting his son for information. Although going after the fucker, right here, right now, with all the cops about, probably wouldn’t be a good idea. Unless he wanted to get arrested, and wouldn’t that be a fabulous impression to leave on his boy?

“Don’t tell him, baby.”

“Momma.” RJ pulled his tearstained face from where he’d been hiding it in Rexar’s neck and struggled against his hold. “Daddy, lets me go, Momma…”

“I see her, bud.” He shouldered the EMT out of the way and leaned over the gurney. “How are you feeling?”

“How…?” She coughed and winced. “It’s not possible…”

He understood her confusion. If anything, her reaction confirmed what Drax and Tex had been trying to convince him of for days.

“Later, I promise.” He was not going to get into details here. He silently begged her not to push right now. To wait until they were somewhere private. He did the only thing he could hope would work and changed the subject.

“Tell me how you’re feeling,” he demanded.

“I—I don’t understand.”

“She’s clearly confused.” The EMT wrapped his fingers into Rexar’s shirt and tugged hard on the material in an attempt to move Rexar. “Get out of the way. I need to check my patient.”

He froze the man inside who’d been tortured and wanted to lash out now, who wanted to get those hands off him. The father who’d only held his four-year-old son for exactly twenty-seven minutes of his entire life didn’t want to put the child down so he could do the lashing out.

“I wouldn’t do that if I were you.”

Thank fuck, Kentucky, I owe you a bottle of booze for the save.

“He doesn’t like to be touched, and the only reason you aren’t heading for a lifetime subscription to the morgue is he has his son in his arms,” Kentucky said. “Let him go now.”

The hands on his back disappeared.
