Chapter Twelve: What’s In A Name

Redemption

When we got to the ranch, I helped Cinnamon out and carried her to the house. She kept fussing at me, “I can walk. I’m fine.” I ignored this and kept going up the steps.

When we got to the main room, Bea rushed over to us while looking upset. “Oh, lordy. Is she okay?”

“I am fine, Ma,” Cinnamon said.

“She has a cut on her head,” I told Bea Walker. “She hit the sidewalk hard.”

“Take her into the living room, so I can help her,” Bea said.

I did as she instructed. I took Cinnamon in and set her down on the sofa.

Bea came over with the first aid kit.

Stepping back, I glanced up and saw Talon in the doorway. He gave me a nod. I went over as he stepped back into the large kitchen.

“What happened?” he asked.

“Well, she took off and we followed her. When we got to the street, we saw a van pulling up to the building she went into. We then waited to see what would happen. Two thugs took Cinnamon and this other girl Jewel. I killed one of them and Prophet injured the other one. We grabbed the girls up and the one Prophet shot, took off. He tackled him and we loaded them all into the van. But we learned some things from Jewel. She just saw Deacon at the club where she works, last night.”

Talon stared at me. “Damn…”

I nodded. “She said he’s there most Saturday nights.”

Talon scoffed. “Mighty ballsy of him. Just waltz right into that strip club and take over.”

“Strip club?” I stared at him.

He raised a brow at me. “Yeah, the Cotton Candy that’s the place where Liv and Ace went undercover.”

“Oh, ok.” I nodded. “Jewel said she worked there too.”

“Yeah, she did, poor kid.” Talon growled. “O has been after her. And the fuck if she hadn’t had her picked up the minute Cinnamon went into town.”

I now understood, finally. Cinnamon didn’t want to tell me she had been a stripper. Saying she wasn’t worth rescuing and some of the other put downs I’d heard from her. Bea had even said something about it, not that I realized this at the time. I still didn’t care about her past. I liked the girl too much. If I admitted it, I could even be falling for her. I sure as hell never had this kind of reaction to any other woman before and that shocked me, but I wanted her to be with me. I knew this much. I didn’t know how she felt, but it did sting that she had just up and left me like that. Like Prophet had said…Usually, I was the one who left the girl. Not very admirable but I always knew what I wanted and what I did not want. Now though, I knew I wanted Cinnamon.

“Hey,” Talon spoke again to break into my thoughts.

I looked up at him.

“Don’t hurt this girl,” he growled.

I glared at him. “I don’t intend to.
