try something. It was all for George’s sake. After they revealed their arrangement, she
had rushed out.
He had sensed Raul immediately but wasn’t able to get the door open. Thinking
about his love lying dead on the barn floor made his blood run cold. The gun went off.
All he could see was her dead body. That wasn’t going to happen. It couldn’t happen.
Then seeing the angel, one that he had known, he knew they were all fucked.
“Landon.” George touched his face making him come back to himself.
“Yes.”
“Are you okay?”
He searched her eyes seeing her distress and the buried feelings she was fighting.
Standing before him was the woman who had gone up against one of the most power
men he knew of and she had come out alive. She’d stood up to Daniel and was asking
him if he was okay. She should be the one running away from him screaming.
“I’m not sure.”

He really didn’t know if he was or not. He’d been so sure he was going to be killed,
but they’d left him alive. He just didn’t know what to believe in at the moment. George
came closer, the warmth of her body made him realize he was here and so was Wyatt.
“Bro, you have to be sure. We’re alive so that has to mean something. Alive is
good.” Wyatt patted him on the back and walked out of the barn. George stayed close
by. He gripped the gun knowing it was otherworldly and in the wrong hands could be
used to kill him or Wyatt. Daniel’s offer ran through his mind. Was it something he
wanted to consider? Could he do the job? Would it mean he had to give up this new life
with Wyatt and George?
George placed a hand on his chest. A jolt of energy passed through him. He knew
he couldn’t give her up. If he didn’t take the promotion though she couldn’t become a
Rider.
“I think a storm is brewing.”
He gazed deep into her eyes. He didn’t feel one. Her fingers trailed over his jeans.
His eyes widened. “Do you know what will happen if we do this?”
She kissed the side of his neck. “I know. I’m scared, but standing there with Raul, I
didn’t want to lose you. When that shot went through the door and I saw you bleeding,
I didn’t know what to think. It’s like you said, all of us are part of something. Life kinda
changes when you’re forced into a dangerous situation. Everything gets put into
perspective. I’m afraid, but I trust you.”
“And you’re okay with having both of us? Being with both of us? Last time you
passed out when we touched you.”
She shrugged. “We have to find out how to make this work. I think I know how to
filter it better. If not, well you’ll just have to revive me. I can’t have you gone from my
life. I know that.” George kissed him again and then walked toward the house. He
stared after her dumbfounded. Whirlwind came up behind him and rested her head on
his shoulder.
“You like her?”
He got a positive answer.

“I don’t know if I can do this. Wyatt isn’t exactly bedding material in my book.”
Don’t think about it that way. Remember you have the power of the storms. When you get
into it, you’ll be more focused on one another than semantics. It’s okay to share. She nipped his
ear and then walked away.
It took him a moment to realize that he had understood her. “Hey. When did you
and I get to communicating this way?”
She turned and eyed him. Comes with the big job. Guess you already got the promotion.
She swished her tail and walked back to her stall.
Landon shrugged and felt a longing he hadn’t had in a long time. It was time to see
if this was going to work. I can’t believe I’m getting advice on my love life from a horse.
I’m not a horse.
“Whatever. If it quacks—”
I’m not a duck either.
He smiled and shook his head, wondering what in the world was going to happen
next.

Chapter Fifteen
Wyatt stared at George who wasn’t able to look him in the eye. When she did, she
turned red every time. The tension in the air was unbelievable. He could hardly believe
what had just happened. They had been given permission to make her a Rider, if that
was what she wanted Landon had been promoted which meant they weren’t going to [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
