Free Lyon's Way by Jordan Silver Page A

here and Colt's family. Mostly
I thought of Colt and my heart hurt at the thought of never seeing him again.
It just wasn't fair that I should have him for such a short time, that I'd only
known such happiness for such a fleeting moment, life couldn't be that unjust
could it?

 
    It seemed like forever had passed when I heard the commotion
outside, someone was here, but was it friend or foe? I couldn't forget that
this nut's sister was an even bigger threat than he was, I had no doubt that if
she found me in this vulnerable position she'd kill me on the spot. Once again
fear threatened to weaken me but I fought back, I could still hear Colt in my
head and as long as I could hold onto that I'd keep fighting.
    Then
I heard his sweet voice raised in anger though it was, or was that just my
imagination? Whatever, I took the chance and tried to scream around my gag, the
sound I made wasn't much but it was something. Next I tried jiggling the bed
anything to make even the slightest sound. My heart was beating so hard I
thought it might give out on me; I kept up the screaming and movement on the
bed, praying all the while that Colt would hear.
    Then he was there, standing
in the doorway and I'd never been so happy to see anyone in my life. He came
over and removed the rag from my mouth.
    "Did he touch you baby?"
    I shook my head no; he untied me and drew me in close for a minute
before pushing me back. He got my clothes that had been torn from me off the
floor and tried putting them back on before removing his tee shirt and pulling
that over my head as well.
    "Colton...."
    "I know just hold on for me okay baby, you sure he didn't
hurt you?"
    I had to swallow around the bile that rose in my throat. "No,
I think...." 
    My body chose that moment to shake uncontrollably; it's as if
everything that had happened in the last few hours had finally caught up with
me.
    He
picked me up in his arms, my nose buried in his neck this time inhaling the
scent of him into me. He hurried past the room where I think James was but I
couldn't be sure because Colton forced my head deeper into his shoulder before
taking me out into the blessed sunlight and put me on his bike.
    He released an earsplitting whistle that I didn't understand until
I saw Jared and the others come from around the sides of the house. Kissing me
softly on the head he walked off a little ways out of ear shot. I could see
from their stance and the looks on their faces that they were all pissed and I
became worried about what they had planned. Jared and Zack especially had me
worried, I know Jared would feel it the most except for Colt because he more
than anyone else here understood what I'd been through the last time. I wanted
to go to him and offer him comfort but was pretty sure Colton would skin me
alive if I dared move from where he'd put me.
    When he came back to the
bike I got another forehead kiss before he pulled my helmet down on my head.
    "You okay to ride? I didn't have time to get the truck."
    I nodded my head yes just ready to be gone as far away from here
as possible, I barely caught sight of the boys as they headed back inside
before Colton was pulling out of the driveway, my arms wrapped tightly around
his middle.
     
     
     

Chapter 2
     
     
    I took her home and checked
her over from head to toe making sure that she really was okay. The reality
that she was safe and unharmed was now kicking in but I was still passed way
the fuck off, this shit can never happen again that's it. Whatever I have to do
I will do to make sure she was never in danger again in her fucking life.
    "Stay
there." I left her on the bed with a swift kiss and my finger down her
soft cheek. I had to call Cyrus and let him know she was safe. I wasn't going
to tell him too much but I'm sure when the news hit he'd put two and two
together, I wasn't too worried about it. Her father, now that was a different
story, he was the law after all.
    I made a few calls, first to Cy to tell him and to caution
