Chapter Seven
Leon limped over to stand in front of Suzette. “You apologize to him.”
She scoffed. “Apologize? What the hell kind of fool idea do you have in your head right now?”
“He’s my boyfriend, and you’re going to apologize to him.” Leon stamped closer to her, standing so close they almost touched. He stared down into her eyes. “And I’m not a fool.”
“Really?” She whipped away. Her hair was a wave of orange, a sweeping flame. She stopped next to me, and her hand snarled over the top of the headboard. “Only a fool would put three thousand of his own people in line for the executioner. Over what? A boy? How long have you even known him? Because I haven’t heard word one about him.”
“He was in just as much danger from Lionshead as I was. And I’d like to point out that they were well lost before we came here.”
“Close enough to shoot you. Close enough to see!”
Leon clenched and unclenched his fists, shaking his head. “You’ll need to remind me what it is you want me to do as a guard, Aunt Suz, because apparently I’m not getting it.”
“No, apparently you aren’t.” She left the headboard—thank God—and marched over to Max. He flinched when she clapped her hand down on his shoulder. “Max here. Paolo. Me. You. You’re supposed to protect all of us, Leon.” She closed her eyes. “Your mother and father didn’t die so that you could come along and fuck this up for everyone.”
“Will you stop?” Leon stumbled forward and pried her hand from Max’s shoulder. “I know exactly what my parents did for us. For all of us. You don’t need to remind me of it every damn time I do something you don’t like.”
“Are you sure you know? Because it doesn’t look like it to me. You’re reckless.”
“Like Mom?”
She balled up her fists and released them, just the same way Leon did. “Don’t tell me about my sister. I knew her better than you ever could.”
“Do you? Then you’ll remember how reckless she was when she went up front with Dad.” He just shook his head, slow and steady. “I remember what she said to me, and I know for a fact that you remember. You were standing right there, for Christ’s sake.”
“Yes, I know what she said.” She jabbed a bony finger into the center of Leon’s chest. “Don’t you go bringing them into this. It’s completely different.”
“Who the hell are you to tell me that? You wouldn’t understand it. You’ve never had anyone.”
She slapped him across the face again. “How dare you? I deserve more respect than that.”
“So do I.”
“Stop.” Cringing, pain cutting across my chest, I forced myself to my feet. Max glanced at me, a frown cutting deep lines around his mouth, but he didn’t make a move to stop me. Good thing. I stepped right up next to Leon and looked his aunt in the eye. “You can say what you want to me. Say what you want about me.
