Kelsie shook her head. “I can’t,” she whispered, outstretched arms quaking. “Please move. I can’t let him do it again.”
His blood ran cold.
“You know this crazy bitch?” the man yelled. “I’m fucking out of here.”
“Jinx,” Ty called out. As insane as this entire situation was, something about the absolute terror in Kelsie’s eyes had him questioning the man with the expensive BMW. She might have a mountain of issues to work through, but she wasn’t delusional. If she’d singled this man out, she had a reason. Probably a damn good one.
“On it, boss. He’s not going anywhere.” Jinx’s voice held a note of menace. He might be a jokester ninety percent of the time, but in the ten percent where the club needed him serious, he could scare the piss out of any man.
Ty stepped forward so close to Kelsie that her gun bumped his chest.
“Dude,” Jinx sounded worried, and for good reason. If Kelsie got too spooked and pulled the trigger, Ty would be a dead man.
“I need you to put the gun down,” he said to her as though talking to a wounded animal. “It’s pointed right at my chest.”
Surprise and horror crossed her expression as though she’d forgotten she held a deadly weapon, but she didn’t lower it. “I can’t,” she said again, so low he strained to hear it. “Please, Ty, move. I don’t want to hurt you, and I need to stop him.”
She wouldn’t shoot him. Ty might have been an asshole and pissed her off, but there wasn’t a doubt in his mind that she wouldn’t shoot him on purpose. The asshole behind him, though?
Yeah, she had the balls to end that fucker. But Ty wouldn’t let her take that risk or have a death on her conscience. Killing changed a person, and with all that Kelsie had been through, she didn’t need to add that trauma to the pile.
He cupped her face between his hands, tilting her face so she only saw him. “Jinx has him. We will not let him get away, I fucking swear it. I need you to put the gun down before someone comes in here and calls the police, and I can’t protect you.”
Her breath hitched in a near sob. “H-he hurt me,” she said.
His heart cracked as she confirmed his worst fear—this fucker had somehow been involved in the human trafficking group that had abducted and abused her only a few short months ago.
Her three words sealed the man’s fate. The monster wouldn’t meet a pretty end.
“What the fuck? I don’t know this crazy bitch,” the man screamed at the top of his lungs. The thrashing sounds rang behind him, but Ty didn’t bother to look. He had complete confidence in Jinx’s ability to restrain him just as he had full confidence in Spec’s ability to find out minute by minute what this piece of shit had done to Kelsie.
“Are you sure,” he asked, gazing down into her tear-stained face.
“Yes,” she whispered with a nod. “One hundred percent. He—” She shook her head and then finally lowered the gun. It hung limp at her side. “He just hurt me. That’s all I can say right now.”
Ty growled from low in his gut as he relieved her of the weapon, securing it at the small of his back. It took all his strength not to turn and put a bullet between the man’s eyes. Only the worry over Kelsie witnessing the event kept him from the vengeance his fury demanded.
“We’ll take care of him. By the time we’re done with him, he won’t be able to hurt anyone ever again. The pain he caused you will be nothing compared to what we’re gonna make him feel.”
Kelsie’s eyes widened, but she didn’t try to pull out of his hold.
“Get your fucking hands off me!” the man shouted. “Do you know who I am? The connections I have?”
“We don’t give a shit,” Jinx said without inflection.
“I have money. I can pay you. You want money?”
“Nope. We want blood. Your blood.”
Ty finally smiled. “Jinx, get him back to the clubhouse.”
“My pleasure.”
Ty didn’t bother to instruct his brother on what to do with the guy when they got to the clubhouse. He had complete faith and trust in his brothers. They’d know exactly what to do and wait on Ty when he was ready to act. And he would be soon, but first, he had to take care of Kelsie. If he were smart, he’d call one of the ol’ ladies to hang out with her, but as he’d demonstrated multiple times, he didn’t have a lick of intelligence when it came to this woman.
He scooped Kelsie up in his arms, much as he had when he’d rescued her. She immediately buried her face in his chest, and within seconds, wetness soaked his shirt.
