CHAPTER 13
She’d already emptied the dresser of her frilly stuff and thrown her folded jeans to the floor by the chair. She didn’t have a lot of clothes with her, just the ones she’d managed to stuff into that bag she stole from her own bedroom and the few things she’d bought from Goodwill.
Son of a bitch, Archer hadn’t even been able to convince John Corbin or her parents to pack some of her clothes and bring them to him. And he hadn’t been able to make time to take her shopping, either.
He intended to rectify that soon.
Very damned soon.
But first, he had to do something about the pain surging through her, and her belief that she wasn’t wanted by anyone in her life that she cared about.
The fact that he was adding to that pain pissed him the fuck off.
Son of a bitch, she had such a tender heart, and such a pure, gentle nature. That tender heart and gentle nature were being tromped on, though. It didn’t sit so well with him that he was helping to do it, either.
As bad as he felt about it, he didn’t feel bad enough to give in and let her leave him. The minute she was no longer under his protection, then he was terrified she would no longer be safe, either. The bastard was threatening John Corbin nearly nightly, and Archer had received a note or two himself.
He’d ignored them. Just as he ignored the threats Corbin had been given. For whatever reason, they couldn’t strike out at Anna yet. But Archer intended to be there when they decided to do it.
He would be there, and he’d kill them.
Staring at her a moment longer, he closed the bedroom door, then propped his hands on his hips and watched as Anna tossed clothes from the closet to the recliner in the corner.
The pretty summer dresses he’d hoped to get to see her in, a few rather short skirts he’d wondered if he could bear to let her out in public in.
Those skirts would have made his dick harder than hell. Just the thought of her wearing those skirts and what it would do for those fine legs made his dick harder than hell.
To get a chance to see her in those skirts, though, he was going to have to keep her safe. And he was going to have to keep her with him.
With him, or with someone he knew who could protect her even better than he and Crowe had arranged to protect her.
The large black suitcase she’d gotten at Goodwill was thrown from the closet next, winging its way several feet past the closet door. That surprised him, considering its size. He wouldn’t have expected it to go quite so far.
But enough was enough. She wasn’t going anywhere, and he wasn’t about to let her fool herself into believing she might actually make it out of the house.
That just didn’t seem exactly fair for some reason.
“You’re not leaving, Anna. You
