“I bet you like that, bitch,” another man growled.
As he approached from behind, Chains saw a tall, skinny man wielding a baseball bat and a muscular man pinning Ruby to the ground. His pants were part down and he straddled her while punching her in the face. Thor’s teeth shone in the afternoon sun as he snarled and barked at the man carrying the bat.
Chains quickly closed the distance, and without a word, he kicked the asshole in the back with his steel-toed boot, then dragged him off the club girl and stomped on the jerk’s flaccid dick.
“Patton, get this fucker off me,” he yelled.
The skinny guy stopped in his tracks, then turned around. His face blanched as he rushed over. Chains held up the gun and shot the bat, and the douchebag yelled out and dropped it. Thor rushed at the man and clamped down on the fucker’s leg with his teeth, trying to pull him down.
“Get him off me,” Patton yelled as he stumbled to the ground.
Chains watched as the asshole punched Thor and tried to tear him off his body, but Chains knew the pathetic jerk didn’t stand a chance against the dog.
Ruby scrambled to her feet, then ran over to her attacker and kicked him hard in the shin. “That’s for being a fuckin’ asshole!”
“My car’s parked by the road. Get inside and lock the doors. I’ll be there in a minute,” Chains said.
“Call your damn dog off!” Skinny ass yelled.
Chains glanced over and saw Thor biting the man all over.
“Looked to me like you were gonna use that bat on him,” Chains said calmly as he raised his boot and slammed it back down on the muscular jerk on the ground.
“I wasn’t. Fuck, he’s gonna kill me.”
Chains looked away and gave another blow to the jerk’s dick. “You like hurting women, asshole? You’re not so tough now, are you?” He added a few more blows.
The man closed his eyes and moaned.
“Shit! Help me! The dog’s killing me!”
Chains whistled loudly, and Thor jumped away from the crying man and rushed over to his owner. He licked Chains’s hand and sat next to him, his bright eyes fixed on the man he’d just been attacking.
“You did real good, buddy,” Chains said as he patted the top of the husky’s head.
Chains landed another hard blow—this time to the rapist’s stomach, and glanced over at the skinny jerk who was curled up in a ball sniveling.
“Time to get going, buddy.” Chains snapped his fingers and Thor barked, his tail wagging a mile a minute. Chains chuckled, then headed to the SUV.
“I know what you’re going to say,” Ruby said as he slid into the driver’s seat. “I’m sorry, but in my defense, I was so paranoid about Thor eating those berries again that I decided to go where I know he’d be okay.” Her voice hitched and she blinked several times.
He gently pinched her cheek. “Don’t sweat it. I appreciate you taking Thor out, but next time just keep your ass on the property, okay?” Chains looked over at her and winked.
Ruby scooted over and rested her head against his arm. “You’re the best. I’m surprised no one has caught you. If I was the settling down type, I’d make a play for you, and I wouldn’t let any of the other women around you.” She craned her neck and kissed him softly on the jaw.
Chains kept his eyes straight ahead, hating that Autumn had slipped back into his mind.Now that she’s gonna be my sister-in-law, she’s fuckin’ off limits.
“Thor was tryin’ so hard to defend me.” Ruby’s voice broke through his thoughts.
“Oh yeah?”
“Yep. That fuckin’ skinny ass had a bat so that’s why Thor couldn’t do what he wanted to.”
“I’m just glad I came looking for you when I did.”
“I’m not even sure where they came from. There’s rarely anyone on that road except for Mr. Colombo, and sometimes, Mrs. Castillo. Mr. Colombo is a real sweet older man. He always gives me a plant when he sees me.”
“So, he’s the one responsible for all that shit in your room?” He chuckled.
