CHAPTER FOURTEEN

DYLAN HAD HAD one objective. Get in, get out. With the tools this time, of course. That had been the plan and he had been sure he would stick to it no matter what. Lucy could have been there and that would have been fine. There had been nothing left to say, so she could make whatever provocative comments she wanted to make—he would just smile and be on his way.

It had been an excellent strategy, and it would have worked, too, if it hadn’t been for the man who was trying to kill the love of his life. Dylan hadn’t noticed them at first. He’d parked his car and was rehearsing how he’d tell Lucy to have a great night if she started anything when he heard the glass break.

It hadn’t been until he was a few feet away that he noticed it was Lucy, standing there frozen in fear. The beast of a man standing beside her had looked as if he was ready to kill. Killing Lucy wasn’t an option, however. Not while Dylan was breathing.

Granted, fighting had never been something Dylan enjoyed. He hadn’t grown up with siblings to wrestle with or gotten into any kind of physical altercations with anyone. He had once broken up a fight in college, but that was the extent of his fighting experience.

The man threatening Lucy had probably been in a few brawls in his lifetime. Tackling the guy had pretty much felt like ramming his body into a stone pillar. Fueled by the most adrenaline he’d ever had running through his body, the pain hadn’t registered. Dylan had believed he could get the man on the ground and restrain him until the police could get there.

Unfortunately, that hadn’t been the way things went down. One minute he had been grappling with the attacker and the next he had been on the ground seeing stars. All he could think was that he had failed. Who would save Lucy now?

While he tried to shake off the fog that was beginning to cloud his vision and the ringing in his ears, Lucy was busy saving herself. By the time Dylan could see straight, the man who had knocked him out was on the ground unconscious.

Lucy knelt down beside Dylan and put her hand on his face. “Don’t move, okay? I have to call the police.”

She looked like an angel. A halo of light surrounded her head and her blond hair was glowing. Dylan closed his eyes; she was too beautiful.

“Hey, stay with me, Dylan.” The firmness of her tone forced him to comply. “Keep your eyes open, okay?” She had her phone pressed to her ear. He wondered who she was calling.

The ringing in his ears was too loud and one eye wouldn’t stay open no matter how hard he tried. The ground was so cold. And wet. Why was the ground wet? The back of his head hurt, and all Dylan wanted to do was go home and go to bed.
