know how much I dreamed of you? How I’d dream of watching you bleed for me? I’d dream of slicing you up over and over again making you come on my cock,” he says, scraping the tip of the blade along my skin.
“You’re delusional,” I say, finally speaking.
“Nothing about me is delusional, sweetheart. I’m who I am, and I won’t change a damn thing. As the psychiatrist at the prison said, I have no soul which makes me a psychopath in most people's eyes. I don’t see it that way though. I find not having a soul makes it easier to leave behind those who aren’t meant to be in your life,” he rants.
“Then again, I also hold a mean grudge which is why I’m going after not the man who stole you away from me but those Devil Pussies. It’s also why I was able to put a bullet in my sister’s head. How stupid do you have to be to not follow a simple order and keep my woman pure? She wasn’t able to do that and so I did what I did.” I cringe as the tip of the blade slides along my throat.
“You don’t have to do this, Matthew. Please just let me go and I’ll tell them to leave you alone,” I whisper.
“Not going to happen. I told my brothers to go because I know I wouldn’t get you out of here with me if I left. So, if I die you’re going with me,” he grins, sinking the blade further into my throat, drawing blood. “Bleed for me sweet, Alexis and join me on the other side.” With that he slices my throat and drops the knife just as gunshots can be heard.
Matthew’s body drops over me and my ears ring from the sound.
“Oh shit, Alexis,” I barely register the voice as my mind becomes fuzzy.
“Fuck, Dragon get in here,” another voice commands.
“Hang on baby. You’ll be okay.” I know that voice it’s one I’ve loved to hear ever since I first heard it.
Blinking I try to focus my gaze on him and find him looming over me.
“Don’t leave me, Alexis. I can’t lose you. Stay with me.”
But I’m so tired. I don’t know if I can. My head feels heavy and I just want to close my eyes and sleep. Maybe when I wake up, I’ll be able to.
Chapter 21
Tanner
Fuck. No. This can’t be happening. I can’t lose her. Not now. However, I found her seconds too late.
As the sicko slid the blade across her throat, I’d emptied my clip into him. Dropping my gun to the floor, I rushed over to her and couldn’t tear my eyes from her as I watched her start to drift.
Damnit, she has to be okay.
Holding my shirt, I’d ripped off my body, to her throat, I do my best to apply enough pressure to stop the bleeding.
“Tanner, let me get to her so I can help,” Dragon rasps from next to me.
Nodding, I slide out of the way as he takes hold of the shirt at her throat. He lifts the cloth long enough to examine it before calling out to Gadget to call Connors and tell her to meet us at the hospital.
Needing to be useful, I picked up the knife that was used to slice into her throat, I cut her loose of her bindings.
“Tanner, I know you’re not going to want anyone else to hold her, but we need to get her out of here. I’m going to hold this to her throat, but you need to lift her off the bed slowly so we can get her to the car,” Dragon orders.
I don’t have to say anything as I do as he says. She’s my priority right now.
Lifting her off the bed, Dragon and I work as one to get Alexis to the car. Lex has the door open for us when we get to it. Carefully, I climb in the backseat, Dragon follows not once letting up pressure to Alexis’ neck.
Chaz climbs in the passenger seat as Lex gets in the driver’s seat, he turns around and covers Alexis’ body with a blanket. Fuck right now I didn’t care who saw her but I’m thankful he thought of her modesty.
I don’t worry about anything else around me but getting Alexis the help she needs right now. By the time we get to the hospital, she’s deathly pale and her skin is growing cold.
Pulling up to the emergency room entrance, Connors meets
