“You takin’ her to your place?” Elliot asked Killian, and I was getting tired of this ignoring me while I was standing here bullshit.
“Yeah. Bri too.”
“Good.” Elliot looked at me. “You’ll be good there.”
“Yeah. We need to talk about that, Eli.”
“Yeah, but not now.” With a deep swallow and blink of his eyes, Elliot switched from my brother to the cop. “Tell me what happened.”
After running through everything and Bri getting seriously embarrassed about the mousetrap in front of my brother, which was something I needed to ask her about later, we rolled out to Killian’s place. Bri was in a guest bedroom laying down, and I was in Killian’s room, waiting for him to get back. Killian locked us both up tight, put Ollie on the couch, and took off to unknown places.
He hadn’t even given me time to ask about what was going on. Killian had been on a mission. Get us locked behind his fortress and head out. I didn’t like the loneliness. On the flip side, I didn’t like the way I was craving him for my comfort. I wasn’t used to relying on anyone else. This was all so foreign to me.
The plush chair in the corner of the room would have a very nice view of the back yard, but with the damn shutters down, the only thing to look at was the room and fireplace. It wasn’t cold enough for a fire, but I wanted it all the same. Therefore, I had it.
Flames crackled as the reds, yellows, and oranges dance around.
We were shot at today. My home was uninhabitable. The bar was being run by Corey. And I was sitting in this room thinking one thing—I wished Killian was here. In that jacked up twisted brain of mine, all I wanted was for Killian to wrap me in his arms and kiss it all away.
I blamed it on the life and death situation. Plus, Killian was hot and great in bed.
All of this from going to get Bri from that house. At least that was what I'd figured. There hadn’t been any problems other than that. Even with this, there was no reason for anyone to be after us. I’d really hoped Killian was okay. My mind was racing and all over the place. I didn’t know what he was going to do or where he was, but I sent up a silent prayer that he’d be safe.
Lord knew we definitely needed help.
