Pursuit: Blood Bandits MC Read Online Free PDF

little closer to her, and I saw the way she shrank back. She was terrified of him, and not just because of what I saw him do. It went back a long way, the abuse he gave her. I had seen too many women with that same look in their eye.
     
    “Go to hell, man. Get outta here. You don’t belong here.” I took a single step toward him, closing my fists. I was willing to use every bit of my kickboxing training on him if I had to. I would love it, actually. I wouldn’t have minded caving the fucker’s face in if given the chance.
     
    He looked me up and down the way I’d looked at him, his eyes going over me. He must have seen me for who I was: a tough son of a bitch who was twice his size. He sneered but held his hands up.
     
    “Fine, I’ll go.” Before he did, though, he turned to Kara. “This isn’t over, sweetheart. You’ll get what’s coming to you.”
     
    “Do I have to put your fucking face in the fryer for you to get the message? Out!” I barely had to raise my voice for him to flinch, and he almost ran away. I waited until he walked out, watching through the order window to see him leave.
     
    I turned back to her. “Are you all right?” When I thought about the way he shook her, I wondered how many other times he had done things just as bad—if not worse. No wonder she was such a hard ass when the guys flirted with her. She had seen enough bad guys in her life.
     
    I couldn’t believe it when she looked pissed at me after what I did. “Why did you do that?” she asked. “You should mind your own business, Dominic ” The way she read the name off the patch over my chest made it sound like a curse.
     
    “What?” I took a step back. “Are you fucking serious? I only came in here because I heard you yelp. He shook you so hard I thought your head might come off.” I reached out, pulling up the short sleeve of her uniform. She winced, flinching back, but not before I saw the dark rings already forming around her arm. I wanted to kill him when I saw how he had bruised her.
     
    “You’re gonna tell me I shouldn’t have stopped him? What should I have done? Walk out? Pretend I didn’t see it? And it’s Dom , by the way.”
     
    “I don’t need your help, okay Dom? You don’t know what you did.” She pushed her way past me, going around a corner. I followed her without thinking about it. She went to a bathroom, but left the door open. I heard the water running as she splashed her face.
     
    “You did need my help, and I don’t care what I did. I would do it again,” I insisted. Why did she have to be so stubborn?
     
    She looked at me in the mirror, and I noticed how blue her eyes were. “Oh, you would? What if I told you that you just made my life even harder than it has to be? Now he’s going to come back after me, and when he does, he’ll be pissed off this time. Even more than he already was, actually. He’s going to want revenge. Frankly, I wouldn’t be surprised if he took revenge on your club, too.”
     
    “Who the hell is this guy? What makes him so goddamned special?”
     
    “I know you probably haven’t heard of them, but he’s the Eric Cantrell in Cantrell, Dunkirk, and Brown. The biggest investment banking firm on the west coast. And he’s my ex-husband.”
     
    “I knew he was your ex,” I muttered.
     
    “How did you know that?”
     
    “The other waitress told me. Darlene. I was looking for you, and she was worried.”
     
    “Oh, great. I’m sure she told you the whole story, too.” Kara turned around, leaning on the sink, glaring at me.
     
    “She didn’t tell me anything but that. She didn’t have to. I’m not fucking stupid, you know. I saw the way he treated you. If that’s why you left, you did the right thing.”
     
    “I’m glad I have your vote of approval,” she said, smirking. “But he’s made my life even more of a living hell since I left. And he wants our daughter, and I won’t let him have her. I swear I won’t. I’ll die before
