“We meet again,” he said.
Her hands clenched into fists. “So we do. To what do I owe this pleasure?” she asked.
“Well, you see, Harlow, I was going to leave you alone. I was having a little fun with you that day in the bar. I thought it would be quite hilarious if you turned your attentions to me, and well, we started to fuck.”
“I’d never do that.”
“Ah, but you see, you’d fuck the old guy.”
Harlow glared at him. Her friend was dying before her eyes, and he wanted to talk about sex.
“It would have been so funny to see those fuckers’ faces when you brought me around for dinner.”
“But I ruined your plans, didn’t I?” she asked. This was probably not the wisest of moves, to point out to the mad biker that she’d spoiled whatever plot he had been hoping to achieve. “Because I spotted you a mile away. Trust me, I know what scum looks like.”
Harlow stood her ground as he came toward her. When he went to slap her hard across the face, she brought her knee up, but he blocked that. Raven had warned her about this, and with him distracted by the potential knee to the balls, she then brought her fist back and slammed it into his nose.
This took him by surprise as his head jerked back and he cupped his face, which gave her enough time to then reach down and grab his balls.
“Yeah, what are you going to do? You’re not so tough when you’re faced with a fight. That’s what I heard about you Twisted Bastards MC fuckers.” She all but snarled in his face. “You only fight the fights you think you can win.”
His face had gone a dark shade of red, and Harlow didn’t let go of his dick. She tightened her grip and then began to twist it, but in trying to defend her and Hailey, she heard her boss gasp, which distracted her.
That small tiny distraction was enough. She had loosened her grip, and he took full advantage, wrapping his fingers around her neck and tightening his hold, cutting off air supply. Harlow didn’t know what he planned to do with her, because he changed tactics and used her to cover his body.
Staring straight ahead, she caught sight of Hunter. He’d arrived.
He held a gun straight in front of him. “Let her the fuck go … now!” His voice was calm, dangerous.
Harlow had never seen this look in his eyes. He looked almost animalistic as he stared at Cadeon behind her.
“So the knight in shining biker leather comes to save the day,” Cadeon said. He pressed a kiss to her head. “I think I will keep my precious prize.”
Harlow didn’t have time for this. “Shoot him.” Cadeon had loosened his grip enough for her to talk. All she wanted Hunter to do was kill him. She knew there was a risk of him killing her, but it was a risk she was more than willing to take. “Kill him.”
Cadeon tutted. “I don’t think that’s any way you should be talking, sweet thing. I’m the one with the gun pointed to your head.”
“I can’t let Hailey die. Kill him.”
“Harlow!” Hunter said.
“You see, he’s hesitating because the fierce and loyal Hunter is terrified of one thing. He used to be dedicated to the club, but now he has a weakness. Do you know what that weakness is?”
She didn’t give a shit. Gripping the hand at her throat, she was no real match for Cadeon. She shouldn’t have gotten distracted, that was her fault.
“I see you’re all riveted, so I will tell you what his problem is,” Cadeon said. “You’re his problem.” He let out a laugh as if it was the funniest thing he had ever heard.
Harlow looked at Hunter. She didn’t know if it was true or not. She didn’t know what to believe. There was no way she was Hunter’s weakness. She didn’t mean anything to Hunter.
“Hunter is in love with you. It’s why he does nothing but stalk you. You are the love of his life. I can also promise you that in the time you’ve been apart, he has been with no one else.”
“Put the fucking gun down,” Hunter said.
“But I like this gun. I mean, if it’s all a lie, tell me, and I can just put you guys out of your misery. She is a pain in the ass and a horrible little bitch when she starts.”
The gun was loaded and Harlow tensed up as it was pressed against her forehead. Was this the end? Would she die at her friend’s beauty shop, with Hailey? She didn’t want it to end that way.
“Shoot her and I will fucking end you. You will wish by the time I’m done with her, that you hadn’t even come back to Fort Clover.” Hunter held the gun tightly in his grip and pointed it at Cadeon. “She is my fucking world. I love her more than anything, and you will not take her away from me, because I haven’t made it up to her yet.”
