“You think that’s funny?” I asked amused

“I swear I knew that was going to happen Dahing

“Well I’ in nity I had left

“Oh co to suppress his laughter

“Whenever you are finished, I’m ready”

He stood up and disposed of our trash then stood next tohis hand out tolike a fox eating yellow jackets I couldn’t help but grinat us around the restaurant Everyone see at a couple in love

I followed Luke out the door and once in the truck I laid ain We were a couple in love I loved this man and in my heart, I knew he loved me too

“Will you co my head up to look at him “I want to take care of you I need to” At that e and I would have The yearning and need in his eyes hadas if it would burst

“I would love that,” I said pulling his face tohim The kiss was soft, sensual and intiled with his touch He wrapped his arm around my waist and I curled into his side I didn’t want to think about anything I only wanted to live every iven to me I knew first hand that life was short and I would not take it for granted I closed my eyes in hopes that it would only be a few minutes I was full and tired and the past couple of hours had me weak and exhausted Just fifteen minutes and I would be fine

I akened with a jolt Luke’s grip tightened around me as the truck swerved off the road “Fuck!” Luke yelled I opened hway

“What’s wrong?” I asked sitting up I looked at the clock and it was a little after three I had only been asleep about twenty minutes

“Blow out I just put new tires on this truck,” he said mostly to himself “Stay in here” I watched him in the rearview e He returned to the truck to retrieve the tire tool and I noticed the look on his face was that of confusion and so else; worry?

“Everything ok?” I asked cautiously He smiled, but it didn’t touch his eyes

“It’s fine babe Just a flat”

I wandered as on hisnuts off to change the tire A loud roaring sounded behind us and I saw Luke shake his head then stand up to face theus They were everywhere, casing the truck in froray vests they earing

They had come for us I didn’t know if it was him or me that they wanted, but they had us now There was no e could get out of this Luke had sent Regg and Kev home which left him alone and vulnerable; just as Red had said I understood nohy he needed the protection I didn’t knohat their problelared at hie

I was in the driver seat with my face and hands plastered to theWhen a er in his chest Luke swung and connected with his left jaw He was iainst the truck I opened the door to get out I wasn’t sure what in the hell I was doing, but I would not letto intervene I had no idea what these guys were capable of, but whatever punishive me too

“Dallas, stay in the truck!” Luke yelled through clenched teeth My eyes found his and I knew he meant what he said, but I couldn’t leave him

“Well look e have here!” thehis jaw I had seen hi scar on his face made him even more evil-if that were possible He smiled, but there was absolutely no war towardsto break free
