Tom

Terror floods me like never before. "Shit! Fuck! If he finds out I fucked his daughter, he'll kill me!"

I can't believe I fucked Bloodless Liam's daughter. He would beat me to a pulp for even thinking about it. His sister had a boyfriend who knocked her around a bit. When Liam found out, the cops had to pick the boyfriend out of a wood chipper with tweezers.

"And that's why you're not going to say anything. To anyone. Ever."

She's still smiling and it's unnerving me even more. She knows she owns me.

"And what are you going to do now?"

"Go home, make sure my mum is safe."

If she's going to go up against the MC because they want to kill her mom, it's a suicide mission. She can't do it. Her dad may be an animal but she's sweet, innocent...

She can see what I'm thinking and turns her nose up at me. "I can take care of myself you know. Who do you think really taught me to fight?"

"Your mom?"

She laughs. "No. My dad. He always said to go for the throat. That way, you only need to hit them once."

"I don't think hitting them is going to be enough."

She picks up my hunting knife and points it at me. "That depends with what you hit them with."

I stare speechless at her. Where has this Catherine come from? Then another horrifying thought hits me.

"Fuck! Kyle!"

"What about him?"

"He knows that we fucked."

She shrugs. "Kyle won't do anything."

"But he's your uncle."

"And I'm a grown woman. I can sleep with whoever I want and he knows that."

I'm still not convinced.

Maybe I'll have to leave the country. I've heard Mexico is lovely this time of year.

Catherine

"What if I went with you? You'd have a better chance at keeping your mom safe then."

I scrunch my nose up. "Why would you do that?"

"Because..." he trails off.

"Are you in love with me?"

I don't know if I want to know the answer, but, with everything that is going on, my alter ego has taken over and she is a lot bolder than me.

"I don't know. All I know is that I've never felt this way about anyone before and I'm afraid that if you get on that plane alone, I'll never see you again."

My heart clenches. He can be so sweet sometimes.Unfortunately, there isn't room in my life for sweet right now.

He's looking at me as if he's expecting me to say something but I don't know what. "This is when you're supposed to say that you have feelings for me too," he says softly.
