Reese came down the stairs to search for Quinn and saw her talking to another girl, she looked distressed and that annoyed him.

He clucked his tongue and advanced on her location. The other girl was facing him and saw his approach, her eyes going wide and she touched Quinn’s arm.

Was Quinn talking nonsense about him?

Quinn turned to see him then fled passed the girl and out the front door. Reese cursed under his breath and ran after her. He wouldn’t let panic take her over.

When he got outside he saw her rushing down the driveway. “Quinn! Stop, where are you going?”

She stopped and turned to face him as he approached her. “You can’t just run off down the street!” He paused to see her distraught expression, something on her cheek glistened in the light from the house.

“Wait…are you crying?” Fuck, he suddenly felt bad.

He reached out a hand and she tried to turn her face away.

He had tattoos on his shoulders coming down his biceps which just added to the dangerous sexy vibe. He was leaning back against a BBQ table and inhaled a drag from his vape sending a great cloud of smoke up into the air. He looked up through his dark bangs as the smoke cleared to see Quinn staring at him.He gave her a sexy smirk, running his tongue along

    Monday morning started for Quinn with a joyful step in her stride, Emma’s plan to sneak out had worked a treat, and the girl that was paid a hundred dollars to stay in her house for the night was more than happy to do it again anytime.Quinn just hoped Antonio going to Boston became a regular thing, or at least him travelling away anywhere for the weekend.She had, had a ball and now her and Emma and Tania were fast friends. It was exactly what she knew she needed to do to secure those social friendships. Why couldn’t Antonio see that? Or was his plan to isolate her from anyone, not just men…although he had mentioned it was okay for her to have girls over to study…She wondered as she walked if she wanted to spend time studying with a sleep over whether Antonio would allow her to stay home for a weekend instead of going to his? Now that had potential…She reached her locker and as she opened it she gasped as a pair of hand

    Cory was adamant after the party Saturday night that he was going to try and get Quinn to come with him to see Reese fight. He knew it would be in his favor to take her without Reese even knowing, she had said she hated violence…and Cory knew what Reese’s matches were like.Cage fighting was brutal, and being underground fighting the place would be full of gangsters and dangerous vibes that would hopefully scare Quinn off being interested in Reese forever.It was a nasty trick…One he really hoped worked.He wasn’t really sure what was going on between the two of them, they seemed to have a connection that he didn’t and that pissed him off that he was losing…although the competition was off and he had been warned to back off, all that shit didn’t mean jack to him.He liked Quinn and wanted her.He found it strange, he had never really had to chase many girls before, as soon as he made it clear he liked them they generally fell to their knees wanting to be with him.

Ah…usually they’ll show interest in me first, you know…”“Okay, but lots of girls do that, you don’t sleep with all of them, so you see one you like, then what?” Quinn folded her arms and stared at him.He licked his lips. “If I see her at a party I’ll approach her…if I see her around campus and like her I’ll get her num

Wendy came up to Quinn and took her into her arms for a hug.“We’re so glad you’re all safe and sound…”“Let’s make sure this is the end of all the drama.” Michael said, glancing at Reese.Reese sucked his teeth and looked away, not giving any promises. He saw a group of men wearing black making their way over. He stiffened as he saw his father in the middle of them.“Wait here.” He said and walked off to meet with him.“Dad, what are you doing here?” Reese asked.“I’ve come to take you home.” Cillian’s eyes lifted to where Quinn was standing with the McMillan family. “I need to talk to her.”Reese’s eyes clouded and narrowed. “Why right now?”“Reese,

    Quinn was sitting on a garden seat under a pergola, guarded by four armed men. She had seen Augusto standing in the doorway smoking and something told her that something was going on. She had been led out here in her white chemise and matching robe – still the only clothing she had been allowed to wear for two weeks, not including underwear - and told to sit quietly and wait.Wait for what?She looked up at a commotion over at Augusto’s study and saw Reese stumble out the door and lift his head to look in her direction. She stood up in surprise. “Reese?” She breathed.One of the men guarding her growled. “Go!”She blinked up at him thinking he was ordering her back to her room but he was pointing towards Reese. She was scared it was a trap and not Reese at all.“Quinn!” His voice rang out and she wailed as she was running.He went to run towards her but Augusto clamped a hand on his shoulder pr

    Ten days later Reese and Cory got out of the Fiat taxi in front of the gates of a villa a mile from the main city of Palermo. They had arrived in Italy the day before catching a boat across that morning and now they stood before the house of the man that had Quinn, Don Augusto Ferrante.The fact that there were several armed guards standing on the other side of the gates told them their visit had already been informed to Augusto. It had been obvious when they told the taxi driver the address it was well known and the taxi driver had spoken to his comrades at the ferry terminal park in Italian, they had all bristled and shouted at them. Reese had pulled a wallet full of cash and told the driver he could have it all. One had made a phone call as the driver herded them into his car laughing and nodding. He probably thought to just drop them off to their deaths and go about his day.Reese looked through the wrought iron gate at the guards and sucked his teeth. He was still

    That night Reese walked up the front steps of a nice house in the Hamptons, as he approached the door it opened to reveal Cory standing there, his lower leg in a cast with a hospital moonboot over it.“Reese! What the fuck, man!?”Reese enveloped him in a huge embrace, dropping his face into the side of Cory’s neck and breathing in deeply. Cory reached around him and embraced him too, clinging on to fistfuls of Reese’s jacket. That made Reese gasp in pain and Cory dropped his arms, retreating a step as he gripped Reese’s shoulders and looked into his eyes.“What the fuck have you done to yourself? You better come in.”Cory helped Reese into the main living area and down onto the couch. He looked up as Michael walked in looking not very pleased.Reese looked up through his hair at the Police Commissioner and smirked as Cory sat beside him and grabbed his hand. Cory looked up with a grimace at his father.
