Dallas had to rein in his rage and remember he was a man of the law. To kill him now wouldn’t make him any better than the thugs.
“She’s not going anywhere. She’s my woman.” Dallas leaned forward and glared at the man. “You tell whoever sent you that if they come after her, they’ll have to deal with me.”
The idiot had the nerve to laugh. “She’s spread her legs enough for you. Lamont ain’t going to take too kind to that.”
“He’s in prison and can’t touch her.” Dallas gripped the shirt tighter.
“He just got out and is coming for the missus.”
Blind rage overcame Dallas.
He drew his fist back and landed it again and again until the thug’s body crumbled to the ground.
Ignoring the pain of busted knuckles, he bent down and reached for the ties in his pocket. After securing the unconscious man, Dallas stood and stalked toward the corner.
He was on the hunt for the other man.
No one would be taking Candi from him.
Chapter Eleven
Candi’s heart seemed perched in her throat while she waited for Dallas to return to the truck. Normally she wasn’t comfortable around guns, but tonight she was making an exception. There was no way she was going to be taken by Moody’s men.
Peeking through the windows, she could barely see anything around the truck. The complete darkness had her anxiety going through the roof.
When the hell is the sun going to come up?
She sent up a prayer that Dallas would return to her unharmed.
This was all her fault.
She should never have allowed Dallas to become involved in her mess.
It may be Moody sending men after her, but this was at the orders of Lamont, she was sure.
Eventually she was going to have to confront her ex-husband.
She shivered at the thought.
She could always pack up a bag and move far away.
Maybe she could go to Canada.
After this, she wouldn’t be surprised if Dallas left. A woman with baggage was one thing, but one with as much as she had would have any sane man avoiding her.
Lamont would win again.
Defeated, she sat back against the seat and waited.
Dallas was a former Marine. She was confident he could handle himself.
A knock sounded at the driver’s window, and a scream spilled from her lips.
Candi’s arms shook as she aimed the gun at the glass.
The door opened.
Relief filled her at the sight of Dallas getting in the car.
