Duncan slowly stood up, raising his hands in the air even as he leveled a glare on her
grandfather that let her know the only thing saving her grandfather from a broken
nose was the gun.
 Then I would say that whoever you left to watch her did a horrible fucking job,
wouldn t you? Duncan said, squaring off with her grandfather as she sat there,
trembling and hoping that Duncan did them all a favor and just left.
Grandpa nodded once in agreement.  You ve got me there, but it s a mistake that I
won t be making twice.
 How did you get the power on so quickly? Duncan asked instead, making
conversation when he really should be taking this as the blessing in disguise that it
really was and leave.
 As soon as I found out that I had a Bradford shacking up in my house, I called in a
few favors, got the roads cleared, the wires fixed on the house and the electricity
turned back on, her grandfather explained as he slowly backed away from her
bedroom door, the barrel of the gun remained locked on its target.
 I was taking care of her, Duncan bit out, sounding offended and somehow managing
to take her misery to a whole new level.
 I can see that, her grandfather said as he glared at Duncan,  but now it s time for
you to go.
Shaking his head, Duncan said,  Not until Necie and I talk about a few things.
 Doesn t look like she s interested in talking to you right now, son, Grandpa said,
gesturing with the gun for Duncan to get out.
 We need to talk, Duncan said firmly, but she d had enough.
 No, you need to go, she said in a tone that let him know that she was done being
pitied.
Chapter 17
 May I ask why you re walking through the snow wearing only a pair of boxers?
Danny asked in a bored tone as he grabbed another cup of salt and threw it on the
walkway that Duncan had shoveled the night before.
He simply flipped his brother off, fucking pissed that he d been chased off before he
could make things right, before he could explain things, apologize and most
importantly, before he could grab his clothes.
Old man Dixon didn t play around. So, he d been forced to choose, stay there and
make things right and lose his balls or get the hell out and live to apologize another
day.
As he walked past his brother, ignoring the sharp-numbing pain shooting through his
feet every time he took a step, he became more furious with Mr. Dixon. Not because
he d forced Duncan to leave before he could apologize, but because the bastard had
forced him to leave when all he d wanted to do was to take Necie in his arms, hold her
and promise to do whatever it took to make her stop crying.
Seeing her like that, because of him had felt like someone had knocked him on the
ass. He never should have opened his mouth, never should have said anything so
fucking cruel to a woman like Necie, but he had and now he felt like the biggest piece
of shit in the world and there was nothing that he could do about it, but wait for a
chance to talk to her without old man Dixon around.

 Are you planning on coming out of your room tonight?
 No, she mumbled into her pillow as she lay there, wondering how she could be in
this much pain and still be alive.
It hurt.
It felt like her heart had broken in two and she couldn t help, but wonder how she
could feel this way and still be alive. She d never experienced anything like this before
and she prayed that she never did again. She d lost her virginity to a man she d
thought she was in love with only to realize that she d been nothing more than a way
to pass the time.
 So, you re planning on staying in there all night feeling sorry for yourself? her
grandfather asked, earning a murderous glare in the direction of where she was
pretty sure the door was, but since she d shut off all the lights so that her room
matched her mood, she could have been glaring anywhere.
 Yes! she snapped, offended that he was mocking her pain.
 I see, he murmured, sounding thoughtful.  Then you re fine if I order from Black
Jack s? he asked, sounding hopeful and making her glare all the more.
 Not unless you re willing to sleep with one eye open for the rest of your life! she
snapped, deciding that if she was going to be miserable, then so was he.
It was only fair after all.
 I m willing to risk it, he said, sounding like he really didn t care, which of course
only took her rage to a whole new level that couldn t be healthy for either one of them. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
