Ryder turns back, his look solemn. He watches me for a second. “I promise on their lives, Cali. If you disappear and never breathe a word about us, you’ll never see us again.”
Chapter 81
Ryder
Cali is shaky at best. I thought for sure I’d have to fight her. I was about to reach for the zip ties in my back pocket, but she finally gave in. All she has to grab is her cat, which doesn’t take her long. Guilt and something else tugs at me. I do my best to ignore it, but it fights desperately for my attention.
Cali keeps throwing glances at me and looking around the house for the others.
She won’t find them.
I get them in the truck and head off toward the city. The car ride is silent.
My attorney’s conversation keeps running through my mind.New evidence. Sawyer and Miles. DNA.
Fuck! The last thing I wanted is for them to get tangled up in this. I’m a shit person for letting it go on this long. We should have ripped the cord earlier.
I should have ripped the cord earlier. Should have done it before I got involved. Fuck, why did I get involved? And why is this so damn hard?
Chapter 82
Sawyer
30 minutes earlier
As soon as we get back, I head inside. I haven’t talked to Cali since our fight in the kitchen, and I’ve waited long enough.
Miles comes into the kitchen with wet hair, grinning like an idiot.
He brushes past me. “Going to the store!”
I glare at him. He looks like he just got fucked – all happy and glowing. He probably did. Jealousy runs through me. Clearly they’ve made up, and she still won’t talk to me.
I’ve decided I’m done giving her a choice. We’re going to hash this out here and now, whether she likes it or not.
The front door slams.
“Sawyer!” Ryder comes in after me. “We need to talk.”
“Busy.” I head toward Miles’ room, where I imagine Cali is.
“It’s about Cali.”
That makes me pause. I turn. Ryder looks at me and arches a brow. “You remember that deal?”
My stomach clenches. Did he fuck her?
Ryder smirks. “Your girl screams so prettily.”
I freeze. Is he for real right now?
“Squeezes the dick so tightly when she comes. No wonder you guys like her.”
“You motherfucker,” I snarl. Ryder crosses his arms. “Time to let her go, Sawyer.”
“No!”
“That was the game, wasn’t it? I fuck her, you let her go.”
