Page 151 of Runaway Hearts: Seduced by Danger

“Yes?” I coo.

“You’re not going to…”

“I’m sick of being mistreated by stupid dickheads,” I whisper, and an evil smirk stretches his lips.

“I love that side of you,” he whispers.

Me too.

Returning to my previous position through the sunroof, we laugh with excitement. It’s time for payback against those who have pushed me to my limit.

I close my eyes in contentment and pull the trigger with a soft laughter. The unmistakable sound of the incandescent emergency weapon pleases me.

Boom!

I’m jerked back in as Kai hits the gas. The sight that greets me is worth it. The luxurious hunting SUV is now engulfed in flames, but the occupants squirm out.

Seven slams on the brakes and stops the car. He gets out, walks to the burning SUV, and grabs the nearest dude.

Then, he pulls him to my car and shoves his face into the driver’s window. “Is he the one who hurt you?”

“Oh, god! Kai, we don’t have time for your possessiveness!”

“Not him, then.” He nods, a manic glint in his eyes. “Gun, please.”

And a smoking hole in the head for henchman number one.

As I think Kai understands the precarity of our situation, I’m surprised to see him get back in the SUV and grab another man.

“The fuck…” I murmur. Hearing about his merciless reputation through the media and witnessing it firsthand are two different things.

He brings me a taller henchman, and I’m so in shock I just shake my head no. Another bullet in the head.

On the third attempt, Kai brings me Yuzu, and I don’t even have to tell him; he knows by the recoil in my muscles.

Kai’s gaze locks onto Yuzu’s, and he wraps his hands around his throat. “Now, apologize to my love.”

Yuzu’s eyes widened, panic setting in as Seven’s grip tightened. His voice comes out in a terrified rasp. “Fuck you...”

Kai growls, his fingers digging deeper into Yuzu’s neck, and he smashes his head against the car door. Then, a manic smile appears onhis lips, and he takes Yuzu’s thumb into his mouth, teeth crunching the bones until he rips the digit out and spits it to the ground.

It’s awful… and marvelous.

But Yuzu only wheezes.

Blood trickles from Kai’s mouth, mixing with Yuzu’s whines. I want to feel repulsed, but there’s an undeniable magnetism in his ruthlessness.

“Apologize!” Kai screams into the night.

I wince, but a dark satisfaction swells within me. This nightmare seems endless, but at least we’re taking control now.

Seven spits the blood out and takes another finger from Yuzu’s hand between his teeth. The old man curses in Japanese, softly at first and then louder. And louder. Until he screams.

Ooh, I think Yuzu went too far. Dead man.

Kai loses his psychotic smile and bites his fingers off. And I—crazy me—now know how my boyfriend got that powerful pussy-eating jaw.

“He’s not going to apologize, baby… Just shoot him.”
