I didn’t know what the
hell he’d said when he wasn’t speaking English, but the tone was
still clear. These two needed help. I didn’t know how they’d come
to be here, but I couldn’t force them out. Not knowing if they
would be okay. Although, he’d only asked me to help the woman. I
didn’t know what to think.
“Start talking,” I
said.
Colette got off the bed
and scrambled into her clothes. Her cheeks turned pink as she glanced
at me. She came closer and took Jacques’ hand.
“A man invited us,” he
said. “He promised there would be food and drinks. Said we were
both welcome. We can leave. We won’t cause trouble.”
“And this little
display?” I asked, motioning to the bed. Her cheeks burned
brighter, and she dropped her gaze. “Were you hoping to lure
someone in and rob them?”
She gasped, and Jacques
shook his head. “Non.
We would never do such a thing. I only hoped Colette could eat
something we didn’t pull from a dumpster. Your party offered us
something for now, but...”
If they’d been living on
the streets, it would explain the malnourished look. At least for the
woman. The man might be thin, but he didn’t look like he’d missed
as many meals. Had they only recently come together? Something felt
off about the entire thing.
“It still doesn’t
explain the rest,” I said.
“Beautiful, isn’t
she?” Jacques asked. He put Colette’s hand in mine. “We always
pay our way.”
My stomach twisted at the
implication. No fucking way. Nope. I wasn’t about to use this
pretty woman just because they’d come here to eat something.
“You’re selling her to
me for a meal?” I felt her tremble and knew my words had upset her.
I hated doing that to her, but I needed to be clear on what was
happening. For one, if that’s what this motherfucker meant, I
wanted to knock his teeth down his damn throat.
Harley Wylde is the
International Bestselling Author of the Dixie Reapers MC, Devil's
Boneyard MC, and Hades Abyss MC series.
When Harley's writing,
her motto is the hotter the better -- off the charts sex, commanding
men, and the women who can't deny them. If you want men who talk
dirty, are sexy as hell, and take what they want, then you've come to
the right place. She doesn't shy away from the dangers and nastiness
in the world, bringing those realities to the pages of her books, but
always gives her characters a happily-ever-after and makes sure the
bad guys get what they deserve.
The times Harley isn't
writing, she's thinking up naughty things to do to her husband,
drinking copious amounts of Starbucks, and reading. She loves to read
and devours a book a day, sometimes more. She's also fond of TV shows
and movies from the 1980's, as well as paranormal shows from the
1990's to today, even though she'd much rather be reading or writing.
