“Blake, we finallyme a smirk

Should I know this man? I mean, I’ve heard Ryat mention him I know he owns Blackout and has loaned us the aparte of hioes I’ve pretty much stayed locked in the apartment these past few days

“Blake, this is Tyson Crawford Ty, this is my wife, Blake”

My heart i at his name I look up at Ryat ide eyes, and he frowns down at me

“Uh…” I clearus stay here”

Oh my God! Does Sarah know he owns Blackout?

“Of course, anything for Ryat and his wife,” he says, standing froainst the edge, he crosses his ankles over one another and his aro to my husband “It’s all set I have everyone who is on shift tomorrow up to speed on the situation”

I frown What is he talking about?

“Thanks, o smoothly, but just in case—”

“I understand,” he interrupts Ryat “You can never be too careful with the one you love”

“Yeah,” Ryat says through gritted teeth “Anything on Matt?”

My ears perk up at that This guy is a Lord, so he has to know Matt

Do you ever feel the air shift? Can you tell the es in the rooets thicker, the temperature hotter as the man’s mood shifts with the mention of what Ryat did Or maybe it’s just me Afraid of ill happen to my husband when Matt decides to make himself known

Ryat smiles and lifts his chin a bit He’s proud of himself And a sick, twisted part oftakes to not only protect me but also love me “He can’t hide forever,” he adds

“Yeah, well, Matt is a piece of shit and deserves to be strung up in the middle of the cathedral where all the Lords can watch him slowly bleed to death,” Tyson states, the darkness in his voicethe hair on the back of my neck stand up

Soto help

“Oh, I’rees, his voice just as threatening

“I want to be there when you do it” Tyson nods, the corner of his lips pulling back into a sadistic smile

“Of course,” Ryat agrees
