Jerick

By the time I get her to her gaff, she’s still fecking shaking. I’m going to kill those fecking bastards for the shit they pulled today. Max will wish I was the one who pulled the trigger on his da when I get me hands on the bastard.

Ciaran is a different story. I’m going to kill the son of a bitch for even putting his hands on me lass. He scared her enough to run out into traffic.

Once I get Stana into her gaff, I shut the door and take her straight to her room. She hasn’t said a word since she said she wanted to go home, but she was no longer shaking. Sitting her on the bed, I kneel down in front of her and grab her feet, taking both of her shoes off. When I look back up at her, she has tears still streaming down her cheeks, and her hands are folded in her lap.

Sitting beside her, I don’t say a word fer a few minutes. I wrap me arm around her shoulders and pull her into me side. She goes willingly but still doesn’t say anything. “Ye okay?” I finally ask. She turns her wet face up to look at me, and I see the scared lass she is. She isn’t part of this world and will never be used to the danger like we are.

Me Da was right. A girl like her doesn’t belong in this life. She deserves so fecking much more than what I can give her. I just don’t know if I could leave her alone. I don’t want to leave her alone.

“I thought that car was you.” She sucks in a breath and lets it out slowly. “That man was trying to grab me. What did he want?” Her tear streaked face just stares at me, and I know I have to give her something, anything.

“He wants revenge on something that happened back in Belfast. I don’t know why he came after ye, except to send a message. I won’t let anything happen to ye, love. I promise ye that.” My voice is soft, and I try to keep me anger at a minimum while I try to comfort her. Laying us back on the bed, she turns to her side and curls into a ball. Turning onto me side as well, I wrap my arm around her body and pull her into me.

She buries her wet face into me neck, and I just hold her. There is nothing else I can do right now except go and find that stupid bastard and put a bullet in him for doing this to her, but I know that it won’t be that easy. He won’t go down without a fight. He’s been waiting fer this fer years.

“I just ran. I was scared and freaking out. I didn’t think clearly. I’m sorry,” she whispers against me skin.

Running me hand down the back of her head, I pull her closer and close me eyes.
