Forgiving Nancy (Last Hangman MC, #5)(44)
“Thanks for the lift,” I say as he pulls up in a parking spot outside Viv’s. “I still don’t get why he drives back and forth when he lives so close.” I scoff.
“Because he might need to go on some urgent club business.” He gives me a pointed look and I give up trying to understand.
“Alright, alright. Have a nice day,” I say before exiting the car and watch Ryan drive next door to the compound. As I’m making my way to the bar, I hear a car stop behind me. Flashbacks from that night plague me and I start to jog towards Viv’s but I’m grabbed by my arms before I can get very far. No, this can’t be happening again.
Unlike the first time, I see my opponent as I turn around and try to fight him off. I don’t recognize him, but I do recognize the Inferno’s logo. Luckily for me, he hasn’t covered my mouth and I use that to my advantage. I scream at the top of my lungs and not two seconds later, Viv, Nicole, Line and Ayden all run out of the bar and towards me. I’m being forced into the back of the car as he’s still trying to get me but he won’t make it in time. I refuse to go down without a fight this time and I manage to the head-butt my attacker in the nose. He immediately lets go of me as he hollers in pain. I fall limply on the ground, holding my forehead. Head-butting him worked, but it was f*cking painful.
Once I’m clear, the girls jump on him and start to attack him. I stand up and stumble. I hold on to the car to regain my balance as I see Gabe and Aleck run out of the compound and head towards us. They round the car and stop in their tracks as they watch the girls beat the shit out of my would-be kidnapper. I’m watching the guys’ expression of awe at the sight before them when Ayden brings my attention back to the fight.
“That’ll teach you to try and hurt one of our friends, you sick motherf*cker!” she yells as she kicks my would-be kidnapper in the balls. “I wear heels bigger than your dick, you sick f*ck!” To that, Aleck and Gabe burst out laughing. I want to join in on the action, but I don’t have time as I see Bennett stalking over like a man on a mission. He takes a look at me to assess that I’m okay and when I nod at him, he grabs the guy by the throat and pulls him up and out of the reach of the girls. He makes sure the kidnapper is unarmed before punching him square in the face, knocking him out immediately. I’ve never seen Bennett fight or this pissed off and I know that I should probably be scared by it, but I’m so f*cking turned on right now. I could do him on the hood of this f*cker’s car. That’d be a nice show for everyone.
Bennett walks over to me and looks me up and down to make sure that I’m actually okay.
“You good?” Bennett asks holding the back of my neck gently.
“I’m good.” I have to force my words out, not because I’m scared but because I’m so incredibly turned on that I’m really trying hard not to act on my impulses.
“You sure?” He smirks and I want to wipe that smug grin off his face, but I don’t do that, instead I grab his face and kiss him with all the love and passion I can muster. I don’t keep the control long though, Bennett takes over and pins me against the f*cker’s car. He wraps his other arm around me, pressing his perfectly muscled body flush against mine before deepening the kiss. He nibbles my bottom lip and I moan, he takes advantage of it and caresses my tongue with his. When he stops, I’m breathless and dizzy and have to hold onto him so I don’t fall over. “Oh yea, you’re good.” He chuckles and rests his forehead against mine.
“Fuck off,” I tell him and kiss him quickly again.
“Love you too, Gorgeous Girl.” He sighs happily.
“Major swoon!” Line squeals from behind us and we turn to see that everyone is watching us with a smirk on their lips.
“Almost forgot you guys were there.” Bennett chuckles.
“How could you forget about us?” Ayden says and slaps his arm.
“I don’t know, maybe because you were quiet…for once.” Bennett teases and four fists rise at the same time. “Alright, alright, I’m sorry!” he pleads as he holds his hands up in surrender.
“Smart thinking, Bennett,” Viv declares and they all lower their fists.
“There’s something I need to do. You’ll be okay?” he asks as he turns back to me.
“I’ll be fine. I’ll wait for you before going home this time.” I promise him.
“Good girl.” He smiles and kisses me softly before grabbing my kidnapper’s ankle and dragging him towards the compound.
“Come on, let’s go inside,” Viv links her arm with mine and walks me back inside. Aleck comes with us but Gabe follows Bennett.
“He’s going to kill him, isn’t he?” I ask Aleck.
“Don’t ask what you don’t want to know,” he replies.
“I need to know.”
“Then yes,” he says bluntly before going behind the bar. He starts to clean the counter as we all sit down in a booth.
“Great.” I sigh.
“That guy was going to take you back to that place, Nancy. You don’t want him to be able to try again do you?” Viv asks me, looking shocked by my reaction.
“That’s not what’s bugging me. It’s just; I didn’t want Bennett to get caught up in this. He’s already been hurt trying to protect you guys, I won’t be able to forgive myself if anything happens to him because of me. I don’t want him to have this guy’s death on his conscience.” I sigh.
