Page 64 of Filthy Love

Hawk started back up towards the door.

That craggy, hateful voice stopped him in his tracks.

Cold grabbing the base of his spine.

“You keep away from her, you hear, boy? You forget what I know about you…”

Silence. One. Two. Three… “You do the job my son has set you, then you stay the fuck away from Gia. Or god help you if I gotta be the one to break it to her who she’s let inside her house. You want her knowing that filth?”

One.

Two.

Three.

Bombs blew behind Hawk’s eyeballs and his growl stung the night air.

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

“My one and only job is protecting her. Try and stop me if you dare.” - Hawk

“You got something against your daughter having protection?”

“When it’s you I do.”

“Maybe you want me to let Grigori stroll in and pluck her up, old man.”

It’s funny how easy the mind will fool itself. Minutes ago, Hawk had ideas of doing a lot more than protecting Gia.

Stupid, foolish ideas.

And his dirty, filthy mind lapped it up. Encouraging him with his hungry dick chiming in to tell him it was a great fucking idea.

Have her.

Have her over and over. Sate the hunger in his skull.

Ajax rocking up to her house, giving him that same disgusted stare he’d done years ago the first time he warned Hawk away from Gia brought him crashing to reality.

Now he could barely contain the need in his blood to kill this man.

The man who thought he knew everything and knewnothing.

But the acid churning up his digestive tract was the same nonetheless and he hated Ajax Marinos, not for the threat, he expected it, oddly respected the old man for looking out for Gia. He too would guard her with his life no questions asked.

But puttingthatback in his head, reminding Hawk of the first and last conversation he had with him ten long years ago when Ajax had seen something on Hawk’s face looking at Gia.

Days later he’d cornered Hawk in the clubhouse, told him in no uncertain terms to stay the fuck away from his young daughter, laid out his trump card in telling Hawk heknew.

Oh, yeah, the old man knew, how? He couldn’t say for sure, but he had some ideas and was sick over it.She’dget money any way she could, even filling Ajax’s head with fucking lies.

It was several months after that Ajax moved his family back to Texas even surprising Rider who assumed it was because Rider now owned the club. Hawk reckoned differently.

Ajax wanted Gia far away from him.

And Hawk had lived in the dark ever since.

Only being back in Gia’s life without having to skulk in the shadows for a glimpse of her did he realize how much he’d lived in that darkness, desolate of any warmth and now he was bathed in sunshine.
