“Uh Law, he needs the hospital, I’m thinking we need to be heading to Starling General he looks real bad.”
“I give a fuck.” I walked over and picked her up out of the chair and headed for the door.
“We’ll continue this later I gotta go see to her. Kyle, go check on the mother and make sure she’s settled in okay. Have someone go get her some groceries from the storage I don’t think there’s anything in the cottage.”
She was shaking like a fucking leaf again and I wanted to go back in there and finish the fucker off. It was good to see that my distrust of human scum was well justified.
“It’s okay Dana you’re fine now.” She folded herself around me with her arms around my neck and cried silent tears.
Aww fuck, those are the worse kind. I’m not equipped to deal with this shit. I have no compassion left for anyone but my little brother, haven’t felt anything remotely resembling an honest to goodness emotion since I put my parents in the ground.
I took her back to the house and into the guestroom. Why the fuck didn’t I just leave her here in the first place?
“Did he hurt you let me see?” I checked her arm where the asshole had grabbed her but there were no new bruises.
She was shook up yes, but no more banged up than before. I couldn’t stay here and babysit her, because I wasn’t sure when or if her dad was going to do anything to get her back.
“Why don’t you go on and take a shower, get cleaned up. I’ll be here.” She walked slowly out of the room and into the attached bath.
I prowled around the room like a caged animal; I hate inaction when I know there’s something that needs doing.
The fuck that had accosted her was new, but that was no excuse, any man that would force himself on a woman, especially one that had already been wounded, wasn’t someone I wanted within breathing distance.
I only had to work him over a little more to learn if Royce had sent him, before kicking his ass off my place.
The other one was gone too, he didn’t try to stop the shit, just stood there yapping like a dead fuck while a young defenseless girl was about to be raped. Nope, not my kind of person at all.
I turned when I heard the door open behind me. I need this shit. If I had a little less control, my mouth would’ve been hanging down to my chest.
But since I’ve had lots of practice keeping my feelings well hidden, I didn’t give anything away. She’s fucking gorgeous.
“You ready to tell me now why your dad worked you over?” I went with the safest topic I could think of in the circumstances.
She was in no shape to deal with my anger at her for throwing this new shit in my lap. Not her situation with her asshole dad, but the fact that she had to be the prettiest fucking thing Starling had ever seen, other than ma and Shelly of course.
She looked away and wiped the tears from her eyes as she sat on the edge of the bed.
For the first time I noticed the shape of her body under her clothes. She’d changed into a yellow summer dress with daisies painted on it or some shit, with thin straps that left her shoulders bare.
She had a nice rack, a small waist and slender hips. And legs that were a mile long. This is not good.
Her hair, now that the blood had been washed out of it, was a nice strawberry blonde with big fat curls that fell halfway down her back.
I had a bad feeling that she was going to be even more fucking gorgeous when she healed up, around here that can be a dangerous thing.
The dress wasn’t one you’d usually see in these parts. The women here were more into jeans and cowboy boots.
I’d noticed earlier that she was dressed, or had been dressed as if she was going to a tea social. That was before she’d dragged her half broken body three miles to my place.
Now she’d changed into another little eyes catcher and could just see the trouble this shit was gonna cause, not least of all to me.
Some of the women that hung around here weren’t exactly fit company for a young impressionable girl and some of them weren’t gonna take too kindly to having one as beautiful as she in their midst.
Of course none of them would dare fuck with me, but women don’t always do the expected.
They’re a volatile bunch who aren’t as easily corralled as their male counterparts.
“I’m still waiting for you to tell me what I want to know.” She hadn’t said a word, just sat there looking dejected as she pulled a the hem of her dress.
