He was going to kill Bray Or it looked that way, at least Bray couldn’t see None of the others were stopping Asher He’d regret this I knew hiive hio to Asher I grabbed his ar he could hear an wiping the blood running fro at lare remained fixed on Bray

Bray moved then But not toward Asher He moved toward Scarlet "Let Her Go"

Dallas shook his head "Seriously, Bray, you got some shit to work out She needs to leave with Dixie"

Asher finally looked athi That wasn’t a threat He was serious Ihe’d physically hurt his brother over me

"You need to leave with Dixie And Dallas needs to take you both holy She needed to listen to hi there

"Okay," Scarlet agreed, "but don’t hurt hiames and caused this I just wanted hiht there Enough to cause dae Was this what Asher didn’t want to happen between him and Steel?

BRENT’S TRUCK WAS parked out by the barn when I finally came home So was Asher’s and Steele’s Only the old rusted far I headed for the barn, not sure what I was about to face There was a good chance they would all take turns beating the shit out of me

When Brent would be ready to listen, I would find a way to explain it to him But if he needed to hit me until his hand was bruised, I’d let hi I wouldn’t apologize for needing Scarlet That was so to do Because I needed her I hadn’t been sure that I could ever feel any real ee herself firh life without understanding passion, jealousy or even lovebefore her I’d only known anger It was a nued all that for me Maybe I was obsessed Fuck, maybe I needed a new medication But I needed to touch Scarlet and feel her to experience real pleasure She gaveto let that go Not even for my brother
