whirled and spat at her. He looked back to us. “This is between me and my woman, so you both can fuck off now.”

    “Jackson, Connor,” Abby swallowed heavily, her eyes glistening as she looked at us both. “What was the job.”

    Joe rolled his eyes. “The job was to find you and get you back to me, bitch.”

    And the look on her face was worse than physical hit I’d ever received. It was visceral, like taking a fuckin’ bullet to the gut as I watched all the joy and all the light go out of her eyes.

    “Don’t listen to him, Abby,” Connor roared out, shaking his head. He looked as insane as I felt right then, mad with need to get her away from this guy. “We didn’t know who you were when we took the job.” He gritted his teeth. “No fucking way we were going to hand you over once we met you.”

    I could see the fear in her eyes - the naked betrayal writ large across her face. “We meant everything we said, honey,” I said evenly, my eyes locked on hers. “Every fuckin word of it. There’s a life for you here.”

    Joe hooted. “Oh my God, this is fucking insane! You two fuckwads got a thing for my girl?”

    “She stopped being yours the second you laid your fucking hands on her,” I roared out, my eyes flashing to his as I saw red mist creep into my vision.  

    Joe spat in the dirt and leveled the gun at me. “You and you little friend have five seconds to start walking the other way before I fucking end you right here on the side of the road.”

    I forced myself to breath as I turned back to Abby. “There’s a life her with us if you want it.”

    And she nodded.

    She fucking nodded , her eyes wide and the flush blooming across her face. I looked right into her eyes, and right then, I knew - I knew she’d felt it too. Whatever fucking insane cosmic connection Connor and I had both felt with this girl the second we’d met her, she’d felt it too .

    I looked over at Connor. “You ready for this?”

    His eyes narrowed. “Absolutely.”

    We both turned towards Abby, and as her eyes darted between the two of us, she nodded again. “ Yes ,” she whispered out.

    The whole thing happened in slow motion. I dropped to the ground, rolling for the gun as I saw Joe bring the gun towards me. Connor roared as he went into a dead run at the man, who’s eyes suddenly went wide a s he brought the gun to bear right at my best friend. But it was right then that Abby shoved into her attacker, knocking him as he pulled the trigger and sending the shot wild over Con’s shoulder. I came up from the roll in slow motion, raise the gun in my hand, and squeezed. Joe screamed as the bullet tore through his shoulder, just as Connor plowed into him and tackled him to the ground.  

    When the dust settled, we were whole.

    “You alright?” I eyed Connor, and he nodded.

    “Caught the wind on that one, but yeah, we’re good,” He said with a grin. He drove the point of his boot into Joe’s rib, making him squeal before we both instantly went to Abby.

    “I’m fine, I’m really fine,” she said, her voice shaky as both of us slid our arms around her. It occurred to me that this was the first time either of us had ever really touched her, and even with the circumstances, I could feel my blood pump even faster at the contact. Fuck she felt good, her skin almost hot beneath my touch and the smell of her hair in my face. The primal beast in me roared, wanting to take her right there on the side of the road, but I forced myself to breath.

    Connor’s face said the same thing as mine did, his eyes wild and his jaw tense like wanted to devour this girl right here. “We should get you looked at,” he said quietly, his hand gingerly touching her red cheek where that shit-head had smacked her.

    She shook her head slowly, her eyes dancing between the two of us. “I really am fine, honestly.” She looked down. “I’ve been way worse before.”

    The rage almost exploded out of me then as I turned on the
