Violent Ends (The Denton Family Legacy 5) - Page 43

“What secrets do you have on my father?” he asked.

She sighed. “I know where all of his businesses are located, along with bank accounts, and other contracts that he doesn’t want to make public.”

“Why not?”

“Influential people who wouldn’t want to be known as being part of such an organization. I know where to send the details, and I’m not talking the cops either.”

“You’d do that for me?” he asked.

“Yes.”

“It’s fucking dangerous.”

“I don’t want you to be hurting, Gideon. He was the one that started it. If I left, he was only going to hurt you some more.”

“I may have deserved it.”

“Why did you threaten him?” she asked.

“He’s planning on marrying Tamsin off, and then there’s Landon. I don’t agree with that shit.”

“Me neither.”

“I need to be able to protect you.”

“I can protect myself.”

“Don’t be foolish. You walked away tonight, but I know my father. He won’t let this slide. You embarrassed him.”

She shrugged. “I’ll deal with it.”

“Damn it, Emma.”

“I think I’m falling for you.”

He paused, looking at her, and gritted his teeth. “You’re saying that to keep me quiet.”

“Did it work?”

“Only if you mean it.”

“Of course, I mean it.” She winked at him. “I’ll go and get some more wipes.”

She got to her feet and walked toward the door. He watched as she stopped, turned on her heel, and came back to kiss him.

Her lips were heaven, even when he was in pain.

“I couldn’t have anything happen to you.”

In the next second, she was gone.

He wasn’t alone for long as Owen and Wyatt entered the room. They both looked pretty grim.

He coughed again. “I know the danger she’s in.”

“She threatened the head of the Denton family, Gideon. There will be consequences, we all know that.”

Gideon sighed. “I know.”
