still have it all the time but I can deal. Shady needs to deal as well.”
    “You two concentrate on Shay, we will concentrate on that motherfucker,” Creed said and looked at the door his woman disappeared behind. “Harmony will help her tonight. You need to get some sleep, I bet tomorrow will bring the ball-busting Shady back. She hates feeling like she is giving shit away, so she will be a bitch to drive you away.”
    “Yeah, I know the pattern,” Slider laughed.
    “Just don’t let her,” Fork said and the two men nodded in agreement.
     

Chapter Seven
     
    Harmony sat on the bottom of the bed while Shady leaned against her headboard staring at the wall. Neither woman talked, Shady knew Harmony was waiting for her to start but she had no idea what the hell to say. She had freaked out. Even sitting here knowing that it was Cajun and Slider in the other rooms, she still felt like something was going to hurt her. Fuck, she hadn’t felt like this in a long time, ever since she left her mother. Damn him to hell, Dom was still stealing shit from her life, now it was her sanity. Ever since she had seen him again, she had the feeling of dread.
    “Shay,” Harmony whispered and drew her gaze. She saw her friend trying to think of what to say in order not to freak her the fuck out, like that was gonna happen.
    “Harm, don’t. I am sitting here trying to figure out in my head how I could have fucked up the reality of what was going on tonight so bad that I almost shot Slider and Cajun. I mean who the fuck does that? I remember dreaming,” Shady whispered.
    “What were you dreaming about?” Harmony asked and Shady once again turned her gaze to the window. She couldn’t look anyone in the eyes when she talked about this shit. It made her feel so dirty. She hated it.
    “Dom,” Shady said. “I was dreaming that Dom was here and he was trying to take me back. It was so fucking real, and then I heard a noise and I thought, he is here . I panicked. All I could think of was making sure he didn’t get to you. I don’t know why, I just keep thinking about the day we were in the parking lot. I mean, shit, he could have killed you.”
    “But he didn’t, and you are okay. He is not here and he is not going to get near you again. You need to let the guys handle this, Shay, I know you want your vengeance, and I think you can have it, just let them catch him and give you your shot,” Harmony whispered.
    “He needs to be gone. He needs to be in the ground. I have to know he can’t touch me again. You don’t know. No one does,” Shady muttered and Harmony looked at her closely. She was thinking back, something she hadn’t told anyone and they needed to know what it was.
    “Shady, honey, I don’t know what you’re talking about. You need to explain so I can understand,” Harmony said softly.
    Shady looked at her friend and shook her head. “You don’t need to know, no one can know.”
    Harmony frowned. “Because it was you.”
    “No, because if you know, he will come for you too, he wants to make sure I will never talk,” Shady said seriously. Harmony saw her eyes blaze in anger. No, this needed to be talked about.
    “You need to get it out, honey, it can't fester. I am telling you that you have carried this load long enough, it is time to let someone else help you shoulder this,” Harmony said.
    “I can’t,” Shady said.
    “You can, you need to trust us.”
    There was movement in the hallway and the door creaked open. Harmony turned and saw Creed and Fork there with Cajun and Slider behind them. Shady was still staring out the window and Harmony could tell her friend knew they were there, she felt her tense, but she didn’t acknowledge them. Instead, she finally began to talk. As she did, the guys stepped into the room to listen.
    “I was twelve, and you know when you are that age everything is about sneaking around and trying to learn how to get away with things. I wasn’t allowed to have friends over
