Chapter Five
Judge
I’m so glad I was on my way to her already.
After speaking to her grandmother earlier, I knew I had to check on her.
When she got out of her car, I yelled her name repeatedly.
She mustn’t have heard me, but I couldn’t believe what I saw.
Blood dripped from her body, and she appeared out of it, not even acknowledging me as I rushed after her.
She didn’t lock her door, so I went right in. I’m glad I did, because nothing could prepare me for what awaited me when I finally got to her. My beautiful girl was ready to end her life. Her face and body already bruised and broken.
Holding her against me, I survey the damage to her back through the mirror and realize we have to do something right now.
If she thinks her only escape is suicide, then I’m taking control and overseeing her life until she realizes I’m here to protect her.
She’s at the end of her rope, and I’m stepping in.
Slipping my cell phone out of my pocket, I call Hammer, who waits for me in the truck. “Initiate the extraction, right now. Plans have changed.”
Before leaving Jupiter, I set up teams through the security company Gambit works with to evacuate all the Rezos.
The final step was protecting my sister, and there was only one person whom I trusted to do that.
I’ll have to face the ramifications later, but right now, everyone’s safety is all that matters.
Lifting Evie into my arms, I carry her to the small bedroom where I set her on the edge of the bed.
Taking in my girl's fully decorated space, I realize she put her own personal touches into this room, but not the living room or kitchen. There is Taylor Swift memorabilia all around her, but the rest of the apartment is a crazy mix-up of fabrics and drawings, and her kitchen table houses her sewing machine. It’s disorganized chaos, but still all my girl.
Her bed is piled high with pillows in various shades of pink, and a faux-fur comforter covers the mattress. The drapes are pink as well, and pictures of her family are scattered around. In her closet, I find it overloaded with clothes, but there, on the top, are two large suitcases.
All hunched in on herself, Evie continues to cry.
“It’s all my fault. If he’d never found me, they would be safe.
You must let me go so I can save them. He’ll find out about you soon enough and come after you, too.
I’m the problem, don’t you see that? Even Ruby is in danger because of me.
He threatened her a couple weeks ago. It’s why I haven’t spoken to her. ”
Pausing from packing, I squat down in front of Evie. Gently, I take her battered face in my hands and say, “Baby, you aren’t the problem. He is. I’ll save you.”
“You can’t. He’ll kill Gigi and my parents.”
“Your parents and grandmother will be safe within an hour.”
“How?” Her eyes widen as much as they’re able. One is starting to swell around the edges, and I notice it’s on the same side as the ear caked with dried blood. He must have hit her with an open palm, and from the amount of blood, I’d assume he burst her eardrum.
“Hammer, get me a cloth to clean her up,” I holler out so he knows where we are. I heard him come into the kitchen earlier.
“Holy shit,” he says from the doorway. “I’ll have Lach waiting at the clubhouse when we get there.”
“Yeah. I think her eardrum has burst.”
Evie looks up at Hammer. She carefully brushes her long hair back, trying to clean herself up.
I hear him move away while keeping an eye on my girl.
When he returns a few moments later with a warm, fluffy pink washcloth, I kneel before her and carefully wash the blood from her face, the side of her head, and then the makeup.
“I’m getting you out of here and somewhere safe until we can get control of Justin.”
“What about school and the team?”
“Your coach is being notified as we speak, and so is the school. You’ll be able to do the rest of your classes through distance education, and then take the finals.
I’m in charge of you now. I’m not letting you go.
You can’t make decisions like you almost did, because that would take you away from all of us. ”
“What about my kitten?”
“Hammer and I are packing up all your stuff. Your kitten will come with us. Hopefully, Bear won’t eat it for a snack.”
She asks, “Who’s Bear?” and I can’t stop myself from leaning in and taking her lips in a soft kiss.
“He’s my dog.”
“Okay, I guess I’ll go.”
“No, I guess, baby. You are no longer in charge. I told you I am. Besides, I wasn’t asking.”
Moments later, guys from Shiver of Chaos walk in and start packing up everything. We don’t have much time here without Justin knowing. He’s under surveillance and is currently with Paris, so my girl is safe for a few hours.
I’m back to packing Evie’s luggage, while she just sits on the side of the bed, staring off into the distance.
Not only did the bastard beat her, but he broke her, and I’m worried about how I’ll fix her.
Maybe Lach will have some ideas. Or she can talk to Grave.
As the MC chaplain, that’s one of his duties.
“He was going to rape me,” Evie says, and my body shudders with rage as I swing around to squat in front of her again.
“Why?” I growl, and her eyes flare wide.
“Here.” Hammer hands us an outfit. “Found it on the back of the bathroom door. She’ll be comfortable for the ride home in this.”
I hear the door snick closed, so I help Evie to stand up in front of me. Her eyes are so far away, and I want them on me. I want to see life in them again, not this pain and turmoil that Justin has caused her.
“He said he was finally going to take my virginity.” She doesn’t even blush at the words, but I’m thrilled my girl will only ever be mine. I’ll kill that asshole with my bare hands if he tries to touch what is mine again.
Slipping the jacket from her body, I notice the outfit she’s wearing for the first time.
The corset puts her sweet, full breasts on display, and I can’t stop myself from gently palming them.
Her body shivers, and not from fear or pain.
Her pupils dilate, and her mouth opens slightly as she moans, so I dive for that mouth.
With one hand in her thick hair, I tip her head for her to look up at me and take those sexy lips in a deep kiss.
Her hands clench at my sides, and I take the time to explore her mouth.
Her taste bursts on my tongue, addicting me from the start.
The taste of her and vanilla overwhelm my senses, and it’s not until someone drops something on the other side of the door that I remember where we are.
Pulling away from her, she slowly blinks her eyes open. My hands massage the back of her head, and I feel the lump before she cringes back and gasps.
“There’s my girl.” My voice is rough. “He’ll never rape you.
You’re mine now. That sweet pussy and virginity are all mine.
” She blushes, and for the first time since walking in and finding her, I catch a glimpse of her behind those eyes.
The amber is only a thin ring as her pupils overtake the irises.
Leaning down, I kiss the top of each plump breast. “I can’t wait to get these rosy nipples in my mouth.
” Evie shifts on her heels, and I know it’s going to kill me to do the rest. “We need a bra, baby, ‘cause you ain’t leaving this room with those hanging free in front of other men.”
“That drawer.” She points behind me to the small dresser I was avoiding because I knew it would have her sexy undergarments in it. “There should be some sleep/lounge bras in there.”
I turn away from her, opening the top drawer and finding exactly what she described and what I’m dreading.
The silky, lacy bras are on one side, while the other stores her panties.
Fuck. I take out a matching set and hand it to her, then yank the drawer from the dresser and dump it into the suitcase.
On second thought, maybe I should leave the panties for Justin to find.
I’m about to reach down to do just that when out of the corner of my eye, her pants hit the floor.
Slowly, I stand up, my cock straining my fly as I take in all of Evie’s beauty.
She’s got new and old bruises lining her body, but I ignore those for now and notice she has more than just the finger tattoos I saw before.
A blossoming tree grows up her spine, and on her upper arm are flowers with a tiger peeking through.
Her full breasts with peachy-colored nipples will overflow my brawny hands.
Her body is a bit plump, but I’m not concerned about that.
Her waist cinches in, and her hips are full before I look down her muscular legs to her pink-tipped toes.
“Fuuuckkkk. Sweet cheeks, you need to put clothes on before I ravish you.”
Her blush warms her whole body, and she turns to give me her back.
It’s that luscious, ripe ass that calls me to her.
I rub my aching cock against it, and she moans as I groan, imagining sinking deep inside her body.
I kneel behind her and bite each cheek. She yelps and tries to jump away, but I grasp onto her tightly.
“Fucking all mine.”
“Is that your favorite word?” she chuckles, and when I stand up behind her, I notice a faint smile lighting up her face.
“Yeah. My mama hates that I use it all the time.” Leaning down, I kiss the side of her neck and smack her ass. “Get dressed, now,” I order.
Evelise
When Justin ordered me around, it angered me and made me feel stupid, but when Lucian does, it’s sexy and forbidding.
Sliding the cream and taupe bikini panties up my legs, I can’t believe I completely undressed in front of this man. I barely know him, yet it feels like I’ve known him my whole life. I trust him. I feel safe with him, and when he says he’ll do something, I know he will.
