Chapter Seven
I wiped my hands on a napkin and dropped the empty box of fries. With a contented sigh, I flopped against the stack of pillows behind my head and tucked Eden into my side.
âYou full?â
She nodded. âBursting at the seams.â
I scanned her slim frame. Sheâd eaten half the burger Iâd brought for her and about three fries. Sheâd benefit from a square meal or two. Frank fucking Harris probably starved her to satisfy his client base.
âIf you change your mind, I can easily go fetch you something.â
âIâm good.â
I closed my eyes, the lure of sleep not far away. No longer did I have to worry about Eden running from me. Sheâd accepted that there wasnât anywhere I couldnât find her, but despite that, something in her eyes when weâd fucked had told me she didnât want to run anymore.
âMav?â
I cracked open one eye. âYeah, sweetheart?â
âWhy was a hit put out on Frank?â
Iâd expected this question before now, and so I showed no surprise. Regardless of my exhaustion, she deserved an answer. I turned on my side, bringing us face-to-face. An urge to touch her came over me. I gently caressed her soft cheek, her skin warm beneath my fingers.
âWhat do you know about his business dealings?â
She hitched up her shoulder. âI know he was into a lot of bad stuff, but he never shared it with me, and I wasnât stupid enough to ask or go poking around. Frankâs temper was legendary, and I did everything I could to avoid being on the wrong side of it.â
My chest ached for the innocent young girl thrust into a life of horror by a man whoâd relished causing pain and suffering. I was no fucking angel, but those I took out deserved everything coming to them, her cocksucker of a husband being a prime example.
âYouâre right. He was into a lot of bad stuff. Drugs, sex trafficking, murder. Prostitution and pedophilia. You name it, Frank Harris had his filthy hands all over it. And like a lot of men in his position, he started to believe he was all-powerful, untouchable. Except he wasnât.â
Her eyes shone with tears that her inner strength wouldnât allow to fall. âAnd behind every one of his heinous business dealings lay a victim. An innocent victim.â
I refrained from telling her that not every victim was innocent, but when it came to Frank Harris, a whole fucking lot of them had been. Including the beautiful woman lying beside me. A potent urge to protect her, to ensure nothing bad ever happened to her again, rose within me, filling my chest with a determination that the boss man wouldnât find out a damned thing. And even if he did, I was in far too deep to ever allow myself to put the butt of a gun to Edenâs temple and pull the trigger.
âLost in his own hype, he decided to muscle in on a slice of territory that wasnât his. He thought he had enough muscle to get in and out of the deal with his balls intact.
