"We can’t help if we don’t have the full picture, Gwen Marlon said that the Moores have tried prettyto make you back down What exactly did hethe linen from the duvet, she balled it up and duingthe house--sometimes no one would speak, other times a voice would threaten me to keep my mouth shut if I wanted an easy life Once, he even snatched the clean laundry that was drying on the line and dumped it in the marsh Another time, he left a dead skunk on the hood offro It was all juvenile shit" Tugging off a pillowcase, she added, "But then, it got worse"

"Worse how?"

She threw the pillowcase in the basket "Someone emptied my bank account, canceled my cell phone contract, ht it was lucky she hadn’t kept ht them to hide their money, not to trust banks If she hadn’t followed his paranoid advice, she’d have lost it all "Of course, I can’t prove that the Moores had anything to do with it, but I know by the call I got fro on his sympathies to my situation, that his family was behind it"

Bastards "He ever assault you?"

The dark note in Zander’s toneo when I stopped hi rowl Even his wolf didn’t like that she’d almost been assaulted "What did the Moores do to terrorize Andie?"

"Way worse stuff than they did to h her s, spray-painted her house, slashed her tires, tried breaking into her home Brandt and his friends always had alibis, but I doubt Colt would have acted even if they hadn’t claimed to have them"

Zander watched her apply the fresh bed linen She had very elegant hands Pretty and sood wrapped around his cock Shoving that ie out of his head, he asked, "I don’t foresee the Moores backing down at any point You?"

"No, they won’t back down" And neither would Gwen "I had a thought earlier I ondering if"

"If?" he pro it wasn’t iet it"

Zander walked toward her "Tellthattheir sentences "What were you going to say?"

"It doesn’ttell oing to fucking swear at hts, you know If you really want to stick your nose in so, she lifted the basket of dirty linen "I need to take this downstairs and then get to Half ’n’ Half My shift starts soon"

Zander rolled back his shoulders, shaking off his irritation "Bracken and I will accompany you We’ll eat and play pool while ait"

"None of the Moores will go there Not only because Chase would throw them out, but because they wouldn’t want to be seen in a place so co desperate Desperate people do stupid things"

Like turning up at ht "All right I’ll meet you downstairs in ten minutes Be ready"

Ten minutes later, Zander stood near the front door with Bracken and Marlon as Gwen ca down the stairs His cock instantly hardened at the sight of her s her path to the door "You need to put on some jeans" He didn’t care how it sounded, didn’t care that it would hint at just how attracted he was to her

Her brows lifted "Sorry?"

"You need to cover up those legs"
