shards of glass, put Band-Aids where they were needed, and patched her up, cleaning up any other damage.
The doctor left and in walked Rocko, holding Daphne. The hotel room he’d gotten them had one bedroom and he’d brought a crib along with him.
“I’m not going back to living with you, am I?”
“No,” he said.
“Wow, I go from prisoner, to prisoner, to nanny, to what, mommy, now?”
“I … I’ve got some money and I’ve wired it into your account. I found all of your details. Tomorrow, I want you to start looking for a place to stay.”
“Do you really think I can stay close to you? They’ll find me.”
“I’m going to make sure you’re protected at all times.”
“Rocko, stop,” she said.
“No. I’m not going to stop. This, between us, it isn’t over. You know it and so do I. I’m not the one saying for us to finish.” He stepped up to her, tilting her head back with a finger beneath her chin. “Look at what happened tonight. That’s not good.”
“I know.”
“How can you not be worried about everything going on?”
“I am worried, Winter. It’s why you’re going to stay here while I go and take care of everything else.” He leaned down and pressed a kiss to her lips. She groaned and he kissed her again. “Do you have any idea what I want to do to you right now?” he asked.
“No.”
“I want to strip you naked, throw you to the bed, and eat your pussy. Only when you’ve come multiple times do I then want to slide in deep and fuck you hard, making you scream my name.” He groaned this time.
She put her hands on his shoulders, holding on to him.
“We can’t do that tonight,” she said, even though she wanted to. She couldn’t think of another reason for them not to be together, apart from the obvious. She was tired of fighting with him though. There was no point to keep on arguing with him.
“I better go.”
“Yeah, you had.”
“I don’t want to leave you.” He stroked some hair behind her ear, and she pressed her face against his palm, wanting his touch. “I’ll be here.”
He took possession of her mouth. “I’ll be back as soon as I can.” He kissed her again and she watched him leave.
Once the door was closed, she threw the locks into place and stepped back. Daphne made a sound and she was happy for the distraction.
“Hello, beautiful girl. It’s just you and me.” She lifted the little girl out of the crib and held her tightly. “We’re going to be okay.”
She didn’t believe a word she was saying. If his pack didn’t want them around right now, then there was going to come a point when he would have to make a choice, and he clearly didn’t see that.
It would be her and Daphne, or the pack.
Kissing Daphne’s head, she made her way into the shower room. “Let’s take a bath, and then we can get some sleep. It sounds like a plan to me.”
Running the water into the tub, she couldn’t remember a time she had ever felt this lonely.
Chapter Nine
Returning to his home, Rocko helped wherever he could. Help fixing fences, he was there; repairing windows, he was there. With each hour that passed, the anger within his pack built to a fever pitch. They wanted revenge, justice, and above all, they wanted payback.
“They want to go hunting,” Lucas said, coming to him.
“I know.”
“Are you going to talk to the man we’ve locked up?”
He’d forgotten about the man he’d captured in light of everything. He wanted to be alone with Winter, not here with the pack. Fuck, his priorities were all over the place.
“Yes.” The pack had to come first. Not his personal needs. The pack. They would always be first. Taking the lead, he headed toward where his captive was bound. The man was chained up and it looked like some of his men had also been in to hurt him.
“Have you come to kill me now?” he asked.
“These were in his possession,” Lucas said, pointing to a table that held a wallet, some keys, and gum.
Picking up the wallet, he opened it up. “Peter,” he said. “Hello, Peter.”
“Fuck you.”
“Your operation, it was fast.”
“Look, we know how to save ourselves, okay? We know you all fall for the border trick. You got this place locked up so tight it was easy to manipulate you.”
“How did you know where to find us?”
“I’m not telling you shit.”
Rocko sat down on the
