Page 94 of Savage Revenge

Her steps falter only slightly when she sees her father in the center of the space. She glances at us, then back at Kingston.

“Jordyn.” Kingston’s voice is weak. Probably from all his screaming after I shot off his kneecap.

“Shut up,” she snaps. She stands straight, shoulders back, her glorious fucking tits pushed out. My girl is all business. Hell, even I’m straightening my shoulders. “I have put up with yourbullshit for so long, swallowing the terrible ways you’ve treated me over the years, all because I’m a woman. Yourdaughter.”

Kingston starts mumbling. “I’m sorry. I made a mistake.”

She stops and stares at him, then huffs out a breath and shakes her head. “You got Jacob killed today. Did you know that?”

His eyes go wide, and he looks toward me for confirmation, but I give him nothing, I watch him with pure fucking loathing, standing behind my girl while she handles her shit. I’ll know when to step in, when she needs me. And I’ll be there. For the rest of my life.

Once she’s done with him, it’s my turn. Kingston may not have killed my dad, but he hurt the most important person in the world, and I’m not a merciful man when it comes to those I love.

And fuck me, I’m in love with the woman in front of me.

My queen.

My baby.

My kitten.

And soon, my wife.

I shouldn’t have let her go.

Because maybe, just maybe, over time, I can make her learn to love me.

It’s okay if she doesn’t right now. I’ll love her still. I’ll love her like she’s never been before. I’m not a good man, but I will be to her.

Our men stand around the room as she commands the attention of every one of them, even those she’s not speaking to.

“You pushed my mother away and got my brother killed, all because of your selfish greed and poor business decisions. No one fucks with our business, isn’t that right,Dad?That’s what you always said. But you did. You fucked with it.”

“I was trying?—”

“No!” she screams. “You were trying to gain power. To stick it to Jack Savage for something that happened fifty-something years ago that was your fault to begin with! But now he’s dead, and so is my brother. And I blame you. I wanted to come here to tell you I forgive you, but I hope you go to hell for everything you’ve put me through. For what you’ve put our family through. I mightjustbe a woman, but I learned a few things growing up around you. The one that has always stuck with me:Don’t fuck with my business.”

Before he can speak, she spins on her heel. When she strides past me, she meets my gaze, giving me silent permission to kill Kingston. I wink at her and nod at two of my men to follow her out.

Several of my men situate Elliott in a chair next to Kingston, the two of them looking at each other, knowing this isn’t going to end well for either of them.

I wait anxiously until they’re done. And as soon as they step away, I attack Carver, punching him over and over until his entire face is bloody, his screams for mercy falling on deaf ears.

“You were going to rape my girl, huh? Is that the kind of man you are?” I growl as I hit him again. “Maybe I should do to you what you were going to do to her, yeah? I bet you’d like to take my big cock, wouldn’t you?”

He groans and tries to curl down into a ball, his tied hands keeping him from doing so as I take a step back and laugh. My brothers laugh. We’re bonding again. It’s nice.

I pull out my gun and point it at Kingston, loving the way his eyes bulge as he stares at the end of the barrel.

“I didn’t kill your father,” he shouts.

“No, but you hurt my girl, and that might be worse.”

“I never touched that girl!”

My index finger tenses.

“Yeah, well, thatgirlis my queen. All I have to do is look into her eyes to see the pain you’ve caused over the years. But don’t worry, I’m going to spend the rest of my life healing her, loving her, putting her on the pedestal she deserves. That girl is a Savage, through and through. And one day, she’ll forget you. Or even better. She’ll smile because you’re the reason she found her real Daddy.”
