He nodded. "You trust him?" he asked, nodding towards Jack.

I grinned, heading toward the door. "About as far as I can throw him." We left the apartment and headed down the stairs. "I only left him alive in case we still need him later." After we mounted our bikes I dug out my phone. "I want to text my girl before we head out." Ace's response was to pull out a cigarette and light it.

Hows it goin baby?

I gave her a couple of minutes, and then her response came through.

Ok. Della seems to be in a lot of pain today. I'm glad they’re keeping her sedated. Where r u?

Taking care of some things before I go to the realtors.

I could almost see her smile in response.

What kind of things?

Got a lead on Daryl. What kind of car does he drive?

A full minute went by before she responded.

A faded Chevy s10, blue, with gray primer on the passenger side door. Plz b careful.

Fuck, my woman cared about me.

U know it angel. Got backup. Dont worry.

I'd told her about the backup for her own relief, because I sure as hell didn't need backup for a coward like Daryl.

Stevies here. We're going to grab lunch.

I was glad she wasn't alone. Skipper, another Sentinel, had relieved Gabe from protection duty that morning, but he wasn't there to keep Ginger company, he was there to keep her safe, which meant he needed to be aware of everything going on around her.His orders were to stay with Della at all times.

Where? I dont want u leaving the hospital alone.

Then I guess its good we decided to eat in the cafeteria here.

Ok, have fun. I just wanted to check in on u.

You're so sweet.

U think so?

I wasn't sure that I liked her description of me.

Dont let anyone hear u say that. I have a bad ass reputation baby.

Ur definitely bad ass. It turns me on.

This was getting interesting.

Yeah? What about it turns u on?

Everything! Ur scruffy beard, ur steely eyes and the way they make me shiver when u run them over me, ur raspy voice.

She stopped, and then continued.

Ur domineering ways. The way ur muscles flex, even when ur just raising a glass or bottle to ur lips. I like ur washboard abs, ur thick, powerful thighs and the confidence u exude when u move. I especially like the girth of ur big, thick cock when ur pounding into me. Its bad ass on its own.

Holy hell, I was hard as a rock by the time she was through.
