He'd come for her, but it wasn't about her.
It wasn't about loving her.
It was about possessing her.
Kent might be trying to take her away, but he didn't know a very important detail.
I smiled and it wasn't a nice smile.
It was hard.
Feral.
Kent Hunt might be trying to take Arlys away with him, but they didn't call me 'Thief' for nothing.
I opened up the throttle and leaned into the wind.
I knew I'd have my brothers at my back.
That's what we did for each other.
ARLYS
I could hope that we'd stop to sleep somewhere, but with the way Kent was wound?
I didn't think he'd stop until he was ready to drop.
I didn't want us to go that far.
If he fell asleep at the wheel, what was going to happen to me and my baby.
And yes, I didn't consider the baby Kent's.
He didn't deserve her.
Or him.
"What the fuck?"
I lifted my chin and turned to look at Kent.
He had his hands on the wheel, white-knuckled and flexing.
Kent narrowed his eyes as he looked out of the windshield.
"What a stupid fuck!"
I leaned forward, too. Narrowing my eyes at the road ahead.
There was something in the road.
I just didn't know what it was.
"I think he's coming at us!"
In my heart I knew who 'HE' was.
Don't ask me how.
