“I’ll get Wesley,” Muff murmurs, turning and disappearing out of the shed.
Goat follows him.
Moving to the front of the compound, I see Ciara standing with Serenity and Janine, holding Skye. My heart breaks into a thousand pieces as I look at her, and it takes everything inside me not to burst out crying. If I start now, I’ll lose all my strength and I can’t afford to do that.
Stopping in front of Ciara, I reach out and take Skye, bringing her to me and holding her close, breathing her in. “I love you so much, baby.”
Meeting Ciara’s eyes, I whisper low. “If anything goes wrong, promise me she will always be with you.”
Ciara’s eyes glisten, but she keeps it together. “I swear it.”
She knows just how much I need to hear that.
Handing Skye back, I take a deep breath. I can do this. I have to do this. For all of us.
“I love you,” I say to all the girls as I turn, walking toward Spike’s truck.
“Hey Addi,” Serenity calls, and I pause, turning.
“Don’t hold back who you really are. Show them just who they’re messing with if they so much as breathe the wrong way.”
I smile, nodding.
Muff and Goat come out, pulling Wesley who is cuffed and yelling obscenities to anyone who will listen. He looks like he has taken a good beating and is covered in blood. That isn’t stopping him trying anything he can to escape their clutches.
Idiot.
“I’ll kill all of you when I get out of this.”
Jackson steps up to him, his arms crossed. “In what fuckin’ world do you think we are afraid of you. There is no escaping Marshall.”
Wesley’s eyes flash. “I’ll give it all to you.” His voice becomes desperate. “The lot. You’ll be so fucking rich you’ll never have to sell, trade, or do anything again.”
Muff chuckles beside him. “Nice try, but if we wanted it, we could take it without you. Freedom from that scumbag is worth more than you could ever give us. Enjoy your time with him, I’m certain he’ll make it memorable.”
“Fuck you,” Wesley calls as they shove him into the back of the truck.
Spike turns to me. “You ready, precious?”
I nod, rubbing my arms nervously. “Let’s do this.”
“Hey,” Cade says, taking my hand and pulling me toward him. “I will be right behind you. Don’t do anything stupid, baby. Just do what they ask and leave. You hear me?”
“I hear you,” I whisper.
“I love you. So fucking much.”
Reaching up, I take his jaw and bring his lips down to mine, kissing him long and hard, before releasing him. “I’ve got this.”
“We better go.” Spike says, his voice careful.
Releasing Cade, I hold his eyes for a moment longer before turning and getting into Spike’s truck.
“I’ll give it all to you,” Wesley tries from the back.
He’s fully secure, so he can’t even lean forward. We weren’t taking the risk of him trying to choke one of us or throw himself out of a door. No way, we’re delivering Wesley today and nothing is going to stop us.
Not a single damned thing.
