Chapter Five

Jordan

Once I’m on the road, I shoot King a text.

JL: 911. Meet me at Annabelle’s.

The drive to her house is torturous, and it takes everything in me to keep calm for her because I can hear the panic in her voice. I run nearly every red light and stop sign, and thankfully, living in such a small town, no one is out at this hour anyway.

“Jordan,” she breathes quietly.

“I’m coming, Bella,” I tell her trying my hardest to reassure her. I knew I should have gone to her place tonight, but it was late, and I didn’t want to wake her.

She’s quiet, but as long as I can hear her breathe across the line, I know she’s okay.

My phone pings, signally a response from King. I didn’t expect to hear from him so quickly.

KC: On my way. Be prepared. Missy’s coming with me.

Shit.

I turn the corner onto her street, scanning for any unfamiliar vehicles. Nothing seems out of place.

“Bella, I’m going to pull into your driveway now. Stay put. I will let myself in.” I kill the engine to my truck and take one more look from my spot toward her house. Seeing nothing out of place, I get out and approach the house. It won’t be long before King arrives, and with Missy in tow, this thing between Bella and me will no longer be a secret.

Not that I want it to be. I want the world to know Annabelle George is mine.

“Bella?” I call when I enter the house. The phone is still pressed against my ear as I listen to her breathe. “I’m coming down the hallway now.”

The line goes dead a second before her bedroom door opens and she barrels down the hallway at me, jumping into my arms the second she reaches me. Her legs wrap around me like a vice, and she buries her face in my neck. My arms wrap around her trembling body, and every instinct in my body screams to never let her go.

“You’re okay, I’m here now. I’m going to do everything in my power to make sure he never touches you again. I’ll make sure Evie is safe too,” I murmur against her hair, meaning every word that passes from my lips. I will keep her safe, even if that means killing Benito with my bare hands.

I’m not sure how long we stand there, but a knock at the door and Missy’s voice interrupt us.

“Anna, are you okay?” she calls from the other side.

“Why is Missy here?” she asks, pulling back from my neck.

“I asked King to come,” I explain as I let her slide down my body until her feet are firmly on the ground. “She’s your best friend.”

“But she doesn’t know about us.”

“And telling her is a bad idea?”

“No, but telling her like this—”

“Bella, right now, all she cares is to know that you are all right,” I whisper before placing a gentle kiss on the tip of her nose. “Are you all right?”

“Now that you’re here, I am.
