Conner turned toward where Keisha fell on the other side of the bed, but she was no longer there. “Keisha!” Conner yelled as he got up and moved toward the hall, but the ensuite door opened and Keisha ran out holding a pair of scissors.
“Are you okay?” She dropped the scissors and ran toward him, throwing her arms around his waist. “I was looking for a weapon to help.”
Fat tears rolled down her beautiful face, and he felt a sense of pride. She didn’t run to hide like he wanted her to do. She went to find a weapon.
He shook his head and smiled. “I’m okay, sweetheart. Areyouokay?” Conner asked. His large hands cupped her heart-shaped face, and he looked deep into her brown eyes.
Keisha shook her head. “I just can’t believe he would do this.”
“It will be fine, baby. I’ll take care of everything. You go downstairs, and call the police. I will make sure that this asshole doesn’t go anywhere.” Conner went to his bedside table, and pulled a pair of handcuffs from the drawer.
Keisha arched an eyebrow at him, and Conner winked. “We can use these later.”
Keisha pursed her lips and shook her head. “Nah. We need a new pair first.” She winked back and flounced out of the room.
Conner was happy that Keisha could joke after everything she had been through. It just made Conner fall for her that much harder. She was a strong woman that could take care of herself, and he admired her for that. However, he still had an incredibly strong urge to protect her.
Conner looked over at Dylan when his groans got louder. He still couldn’t believe that the man would try to stab Keisha. How could anyone be so filled with hate for such a sweet and caring individual? The man had to be crazy. There was no other explanation.
Conner took a deep breath and moved toward the injured man. He took the cuffs and clicked it to one of his wrists, then pulled the chain of the cuff around the leg of the bed and cuffed his other wrist. There was no way Dylan would be able to move the entire California King to get away. The way he was moaning and groaning, it didn’t look like he was capable of moving anyway.
“You better be glad I didn’t want to kill you in front ofmygirl, otherwise your ass would be dead.” Conner left the room because if he stayed there any longer, he surely would’ve killed him.
