CHAPTER 20

SWITCH

Stel had unwittingly helped me convince Jules’s sister, Delilah, to let me train her when she told the girls that I was “a decent shot.” Then, she’d looked over and given me a teasing lopsided smile, shocking the hell out of me. My girl was actually busting my balls. Something she used to enjoy doing on the regular down in the shop. Now, she quickly caught herself, shook it off, turned on her heel, and left the kitchen, but I was still counting it as progress.

One brief unguarded moment didn’t mean she’d changed her stance on speaking to me, but it gave me a piece of normalcy I could cling to. Besides, Mad Dog wasn’t faring any better than me, and he was her father. But Stel was as stubborn as they came, and she never did anything she didn’t damn well want to.

Delilah, on the other hand, was an altogether different sort of complicated. Both women came with their own set of challenges, but I think I’d take Stel’s stoic silence over Delilah’s space cadet episodes.

She often zoned out in the middle of our self-defense training, and I’d spent more time over the last couple of days trying to get her attention than I did anything else. Which didn’t bode well for my goal of getting her to talk, considering the girl hadn’t said more than ten words to me.

On top of that, my back hurt something fierce from sleeping on Hunter’s front porch swing, Stel avoided me, Brandy was about as skittish as a deer, and Hunter didn’t even want the girls in his house let alone me.

“At this rate, you won’t live more than a few minutes.”

She blinked a few times and looked up at me with that blank stare I found highly disturbing. “That’s enough time for me to kill one man.”

“Assuming he’s right where you think he’ll be, he’s not surrounded by other men, and you can shoot. We haven’t even gotten to that part yet because I’m afraid you’ll lose focus and shoot my foot off! Maybe even something more vital if I’m not careful.”

I grumbled the last part, thinking of my dick, but I wasn’t about to say that in front of her. With what she’d been through, and her habit of zoning out, fuck only knows how she’d react.

“Until I find him, I’ll stay close to Stella. You’d never let anything happen to Stella.”

“Willing to bank your life on that?” I asked out of curiosity more than anything else.

“Yes,” she said in all seriousness, gracefully lowering herself to the grass and drawing her knees into her chest, as if the simple act of standing had become more than she could bear. “I’ve seen the way you watch her when you think no one else is looking. You’re not like other men. While your desire for her is
