CHAPTER THIRTEEN

“SHIT.” JOHN RUSHED to the door and yanked it open. Breaking into a sprint, he caught up with Sasha as she pivoted expertly between teenagers and the grown men towering above her. He gripped her arm. “Sasha, just hold on.”

She pulled her arm from his grip. “If Freddy knows something about my mother’s past relationship with Kyle, then I damn well want to know what it is. How dare he keep that from me? He had no right.”

Her tears and the crack of her voice sliced through John’s heart, revving his resolve to cause his father more pain than he’d ever inflicted on anyone. Why should he care Kyle was dying? Kyle had caused Sasha indisputable hurt, along with himself and possibly her mother.

He reached for Sasha’s hand, not caring it might be the final straw that would earn him a slapped face. “You need to stop and think this through. Freddy’s not on your side. If my suspicions are right, he’s never been on your side and is working his own agenda. If that’s true, the more knowledge you have and keep to yourself, the better. Right?”

She didn’t slap him but stared, her eyes wide with the adrenaline undoubtedly ripping through her. Her breasts rose and fell with each harried breath. “This is so damn unfair. All of it. Why can’t I trust the people around me? Just for once.”

The whistling and screeching around them, the rumbling and thumping, pumping dance music and blowing horns, reverberated louder than ever. John ached to touch her, to pull her to him, to feel her skin beneath his lips again, inhale Sasha’s scent and tell her he’d fix her pain and the situation.

Instead, he stood like a man trapped on a square of sand in the middle of a turbulent ocean—helpless and trying to think of the best way forward. The best way to make her dream come true without handing her the one thing she thought she wanted. His gut told him Funland hid more secrets, more destruction for her, than anything else.

He glanced around, part of him hoping to see Freddy before she did. The asshole was nowhere to be seen. He faced her. “Come back to the office. Let’s talk some more. It’ll do no good for you to run headlong into Freddy when you’re this worked up.”

She glared. “Worked up? You think this is me worked up?” She huffed out a laugh. “You’ve no idea what I’m like when I’m worked up. I suggest you get out of the firing line.”

A smile pulled at his mouth, and he pursed his lips. Was it perverted that the sudden vision of Sasha tossing him onto a king-size bed with the ease of a superstrong ninja turned him on?

“Are you laughing at me?” She fisted her hands on her hips.

John blinked and fought his smile into submission. “Of course not.”

She closed her eyes and pressed a trembling hand to her abdomen. “I feel sick. My grandfather meant the world to me, and I promised him.
