Chapter

Twenty-Six

Lexi

He crept into bed sometime before dawn, and when he shuffled closer and gently stroked my hair, I spoke into the darkness. “How’d it go?”

But, for the moment, he ignored me. “C’mere.”

I went willingly, needing to hear his heart beating, and when I laid my head on his chest and listened to the steady drumming of his heart, I relaxed into him, running a hand up and down his side with my eyes closed. “So?”

He hesitated a second before he spoke low. “Lost her only ally.” Good. His arms tightened around me. “Breakin’ down the stronghold, piece by piece.” Then he said through a yawn, “I don’t give a fuck how long it takes. You want her gone, baby—” His voice turned drowsy. “—she’s gone.”

It was a promise. He made a vow. Everything inside me told me he would keep us safe.

And like the idiot I was, I chose to believe that.

Molly

The text I received made my phone feel heavier than it should have.

I had just put the little monster to bed and knew I would have to respond, one way or another.

My heart raced.

Either way, I was screwed.

If I said yes, I was back in with the person whose family destroyed me.

If I said no, he was lost to me forever.

I held the phone in my hand as I walked the hall, finding him sitting on the floor in front of Lexi as she lay down on the sofa on her stomach, watching the TV and adorably running her fingers lightly through his hair. Twitch closed his eyes, loving her attentions, and they both looked tired. I hated to interrupt, but this was important.

Clearing my throat, I waited for him to open his eyes, and when he squinted up at me, I simply jerked my chin in the direction of my room, ignoring Lexi’s sudden uneasy stare.

I walked the hall, stood in the center of my room, and waited. He followed soon after, and when his imposing figure blocked my open doorway, I blurted out, “I need you to stay here tonight.”

His brow knitted. “Why?”

It was a reasonable question. I don’t know why it pissed me off so much.

On the defensive, I said, “I have a job tonight.”

That did not go down well. “I thought you were out.”

“I am,” I revealed, “but I owe this guy.”

“No,” Twitch uttered coldly. “You said it yourself. You owe me.” He looked me up and down. “You’re not goin’ anywhere, Molly.”

Fucking bullshit. “I’m not a child,” I seethed, my eyes wide with fury. My full lips curled. “I’m not your child. You can’t tell me what to do. Besides,” I added, “I’m only asking out of respect.” I ended on, “I’m going.”

He seemed to think on that, fighting the need to say something, tapping his hands on the doorframe a long moment before he held out his hand. “Give me your phone.”

If this was the only way to get him to leave me alone, I’d deal. I unlocked the screen then handed him my phone.
