Why was I playing it chill? Why wasn’t I walking right up to him and punching him in the fucking face? I had no idea what the fuck was going on. Montana was an open carry state when it came to firearms, but it also meant they might have some concealed, too. I wasn’t risking anything when it came to Lainey’s safety.
He shrugged. “We’re just gonna hang out for a little while and then I’ll let ‘er go.”
I tucked my thumbs in my jeans pockets, tried to seem casual. What I wanted to do was jump over the table and beat the shit out of Gil. Out of all of them.
“Too bad,” I told him. “That woman’s mine.”
I knew when I saw her the other night, but there was no question now.
“Her?” He dropped his hand from her mouth.
Lainey turned and glared at Gil, as if he’d insulted her with just his tone.
“Yeah, her.”
“Your woman kicked me in the balls.”
“You deserved it, you asshole,” she snarled. “I think you need to clean your ears more because I said no.”
“See why I covered her mouth?”
Lainey popped to her feet like a rocket and looked ready to throttle Gil all by herself.
“You know who she is?” I pressed.
All five men looked to Lainey.
“Ever heard of the Wilder boys?”
Two of them groaned. Yeah, they were well known in the area… and beyond.
I pointed at Lainey. “That’s their kid sister. TrigWilder’s gonna kill you and his brother, Colt, the county sheriff, is gonna let him.”
Lainey grinned almost evilly and crossed her arms over her chest.
Trig Wilder, retired rodeo champ, was my closest friend… and her big brother. What I said was true. Trig and his brothers would kill these fuckers for sure. But they were going to kill me, too, when they found out I was claiming Lainey.
No one fucked your friend’s little sister. It was a rule.
A rule I was gonna break.
Now Gil held up his hands in surrender. “No one told me her name, only that she was blonde and tiny.”
“You need to check an ID of a woman you kidnap, you asshole?” she snapped. “And I’m not tiny, I’m petite.” Her chin tipped up and I wasn’t sure if I wanted to kiss her for that defiance or spank her pussy for stirring up even more trouble.
“Come ‘ere, love,” I said, curling my fingers and beckoning her over. I needed her out of here in one piece, so this wasn’t time for her fury. I’d take care of these guys later.
Gil stood, too, his hands dropping into fists.
The others were smart enough to remain seated.
When Lainey was tucked into my side, I kissed the top of her head. She was like a little peanut next to me. I wanted to savor the feel of her in my arms, how soft she was. Warm. I wanted to breathe in her sweet scent. Taste her. Mouthandpussy. Hear her moan. Scream my name when I made her come for the first time.
But not now. Now, I had to deal with these fuckers.
“Like I said, we were only gonna hang for a little while, then I’d have let her go,” Gil complained.
“You that hard up you have to resort to kidnapping?”
