then a woman like Jessa would keep looking more and more fucking

    (Layne)
     
    The road wasn ’ t long enough to keep me away
from her. I ’ d fucking chase
her to the end of the world if I needed to. My heart raced to find her yet my
mind had no idea why it fucking mattered. I tried to convince myself that her
connection was important. Her mother was supposed to die by my hands. Her
father had ties to the mafia. Shelby didn ’ t
know anything about it, but she had purpose. And that purpose went beyond getting
in between the sheets with me.
    Fuck.
    I caught up with Jet and he
signaled that she was cruising a mile up the road. He ’ d been smart enough to hang back and stay away so
that he didn ’ t scare her
into speeding or hurting herself. She was, however, getting dangerously close
to enemy territory. No chance she would go near the Mountain Killers. They ’ d tear her apart without giving
a fuck about her, me, or the MC. That meant she was trying to jump Oakville and
probably jump the state. Christ, that would put her right into the arms of the
mafia. Not to mention Devil Call MC had charters everywhere. I could make a
fucking call and have another crew out to get her.
    There was no escaping me.
    I put a hand out telling Jet to
hang back. I was going to fucking take it from here.
    I throttled my ride and made damn
sure Shelby heard me.
    When I spotted her car, I grew
angry.
    Who the fuck was she to go behind
my back and take off? Did she not get what I was trying to do around here?
    I sped faster and faster. Shelby ’ s car stayed the same speed,
meaning I gained distance on her. Then I saw her head move. She looked in the
mirror, probably worrying the Mountain Killers were coming after her again.
    She spotted me and quickly pulled
her car to the side of the road. I rode right up to the front of her car and
turned my wheel. I killed the engine, tore off my helmet, and stormed the car.
I ripped open the door, my hand latched on her arm like a vise, and I pulled
her out of the car.
    She yelled, swung at me, and I
threw her back against the car. I put my body against hers as she shook her
head. The goddamn woman was scared half to death. My hand touched her jaw,
forcing her head to be steady.
    “ Fucking
shit, ” I growled. “ Look at me. ” She fought. “ I said look at me! ”
    Shelby stopped. Her hair was in her
face, dancing with her heavy breaths.
    My left hand twitched. I thought
about taking my gun out and … doing what, Layne? You going to shoot her? Fuck you, man. You can ’ t hurt her.
    I brushed the hair out of her face.
    “ What
the fuck are you thinking? ”
    Shelby lifted her knee and hit me
in the balls. I stepped back and she put both hands to my chest and shoved.
That gave her enough distance to try and get back in the car.
    “ Why
did you even stop in the first place? ” I yelled.
    All she could do was shake her
head.
    So I had no choice.
    I took out my gun. I then shot out
the two tires on the driver ’ s
side of the car. The gunshot rang and the tires hissed as they deflated.
    That ’ s
when Shelby finally gave up. She had been gripping the wheel tight. Now, she
simply put her hands up, giving in. That ’ s
not what I fucking wanted for her. I wanted her to understand me and trust me.
Not this running bullshit. Nothing good could come of it. And judging by the
look on her face when she looked at me, I knew something bad had happened.
    I pointed my gun at her, hating
myself for doing so.
    I ordered her out of the car.
    “ Keep
your fucking hands up, sweetheart, ” I said. “ Don't make me …”
    “ You
going to shoot me? ” she
asked.
    “ No. ”
    “ You
should. Just put a bullet between my eyes. I deserve it. I know I do. ”
    “ Why? ”
    “ I ’ m deep in this. I was probably
the one who shot up the bar. ”
    “ You
know that ’ s impossible, ” I said. “ You were with me. I was looking right at you when
that first bullet went zinging by. How the
