when you ve deprived me of my own. It hardly seems fair. The urge to hang up and call home was prevalent in his mind, but he held on, knowing that s exactly what Carlos would expect him to do. You know, MacKenzie, I ve never understood your appeal to the opposite sex. You hadn t been in the compound three days before Carmen spread her legs for you. Fucking puta. She d been a good girl before you came along. Cade still remembered his surprise as he d broken through the barrier of Carmen s virginity. She d responded to his touch unlike any virgin he d ever known, not that he d had a lot of experience with virgins, but it had caused him to stop and reevaluate the woman he thought he d understood. She d been everything good and innocent in the world everything the rest of her family could never hope to be and he d taken a part of that innocence from her because it had been part of the plan. He hadn t loved her until much later, and that guilt still ate at him. That s a hell of a way to talk about your own sister, Carlos. Maybe you should get therapy to release all that hostility. It can t be good for you. Carlos ignored his taunt, his anger already fueling the fire. History has a way of repeating itself, Si? I enjoyed the little scene you and the whore next door put on for me and my men this morning. They were horny as hell after you left, leaving her there all alone while you went to look at the message I d left you. You can see right through those flimsy lace curtains she has up. And she makes sure to raise the blinds back up after you leave every night. What s with that, Cade? You don t want us to see you screwing your new whore? When did you become shy? Fuck you, Carlos. Stay away from Bayleigh. It s too late for that. You marked her as yours. I hope that brings her comfort when I rub the drug across her silky skin and let my men have her. The sigh on the other end of the line had Cade s anger escalating to the point that he could feel his control disappearing. He knew what men saw when they looked at Bayleigh. Her body is something else, my man. Fine tits and ass, and a mouth that s going to suck me dry before she takes her last breath. Just the thought is enough to get me off. Cade growled low in his throat and he was barely able to choke the words out. I m coming for you, Carlos. Carlos laughed. You ve got to find me first. Cade disconnected the phone and pushed the pedal all the way to the floor, and he noticed the car tailing him stayed close long enough to wave at him and take the next exit. Which meant they had men set up to watch him at the house. Shit. He used the Bluetooth system in his truck to call in a favor. He couldn t be in two places at one time, and he needed someone to watch over Darcy. To make sure she was safe. There was only one man he could call one man he trusted with his life to make sure she didn t get into trouble. The only problem was that the man in question was Bayleigh s oldest brother. There was no way he could tell Brant about his involvement with Bayleigh or that Bayleigh was in danger though there was a chance the DHS agent already knew. Cade needed Brant to protect Darcy and not ask questions. Fortunately, Brant owed him a hell of a favor since Cade had taken a bullet for his friend a couple of years ago. The angle of the shot would have meant Brant s death, and Cade knew he could survive if he intercepted it. The short of it was: Brant Scott owed him a hell of a favor, and he was about to collect. What? Brant said on the other end of the line. I need help, and I don t need questions, Cade said quickly. I m running out of time. There was a slight pause before Brant said, Done. Protect Darcy. Carlos del Fuego has put out a hit on her. It might already be too late. I ve got her covered, Brant said. I got the word this morning about the change of power in the cartel. It seems some asshole at DHS was hoping the news of Miguel s coma wouldn t become public knowledge, so they ve been sitting on it for three weeks. Heads will roll by the time I m through with them. Cade believed it. Brant was a Special Agent in Charge for DHS, and he wasn t without power. In fact, he always wondered if Brant was higher up on the food chain than even he knew. As long as Darcy is safe, Cade said. I ve got my sights on your house as we speak. I knew they d be after her. I let your cousin, Cooper, know about the danger. I figured he d be pissed if he didn t know something could go down since he s the sheriff. That s an understatement. Cooper would have agents for breakfast and spit them out if he found out something was going on in his town and no one had informed him. Brant grunted in agreement. Coop s going to keep an eye on Grant and his wife so I don t have to split my attention. I figured the threat to Darcy was the biggest since she s by herself and basically unprotected. Cade let out a slow breath, grateful his friend had a sixth sense about these kinds of things. No one was more important than his family, and their safety was first priority. Knowing his brother and sister were being watched after was a hell of a relief. And knowing Shane was out of the country on his own mission meant that he wouldn t step into the middle of things for at least another few weeks. By [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ] |
