Chapter 24

Chelsea

One second, Cole and I are talking, and the next, my nose is buried in his shirt. All I could do was inhale the scent that was just…Cole.

At first, I thought the fireworks had started early, but then Cole whispered that they were gunshots. When Sean’s panicked voice yelled for him to get me out of there, Cole scooped me up and ran like the hounds of hell were after him. We were hiding beside the car when we heard the other guys talking. I heard the shots rip through the night and started shaking. I was in full meltdown mode until I saw Sean’s contact picture flash across my phone. He told me he loved me. I have to remind myself that it might have been in the heat of the moment, and maybe he didn’t mean it. But it made my heart melt to hear his gruff I love you.

“You’re shaking,” Cole comments, digging around in the backseat. He tosses a hoodie onto my lap. “Put it on. It’s the adrenaline.”

“Thank you,” I whisper, sliding it over my head.

“Are you okay?” he asks for the millionth time.

“I’m fine, Cole. I promise.”

“We’re close to your house, aren’t we?” He glances in the rearview mirror again, and I don’t know if he’s looking for the shooters or Kai’s truck.

“Yeah, about two more miles.”

He slaps his hand down on the steering. “Sorry,” he mutters when I jump out of my skin. “I don’t know what that was.”

“Charlie?”

“That’s not his style.”

That’s true. He wouldn’t open fire anywhere that the heat would come back onto him. He was more the type to make sure you saw his face before he shot you at point blank range. That’s why he and my stepdad were buddies.

We round the corner, and I hit the button on my remote to open the gate. It opens, and Cole drives through. “Park around the left of the house. In the garage.” I hit another button, and the door opens. Even with my car and Sean’s truck, there is plenty of room. I jump out of the car as soon as it’s in park and run to the garage door, waiting to see headlights. When I see them, my heart jumps into my throat. They’re okay.

Kai parks beside my car. When Sean steps out of the car, I hit him hard, wrapping my arms around his neck. “We’re fine, Gorgeous.” He pulls back to look at my face. “You’re okay?”

I nod, step out of his arms, and run to Kai. He lifts me clear off the floor, crushing me to his big chest. “Dragonfly.”

“Damn. We don’t get a welcome,” Tyler comments. “Ow! Ari, that fucking hurt.”

“Shut up, jackass. You deserved it.” I look at Tyler, and he’s rubbing the back of his head. I didn’t even see them pull in because my attention was on Sean and Kai. I turn to Cole, and he’s leaning against the side of his car.

I walk over and wrap my arms around his neck.
