She turned toward the sound to find the guy she attacked sat with one leg crossed over the other. “What the hell is this?” she asked.
“This is what happens when you attack a Denton, and fail.” He got to his feet and lowered the light. “Does that feel better?”
“Fuck you!”
He turned the light to bright, and she groaned.
Seconds later the light was turned back down, and she could blink without it hurting. “There’s no need for horrible bad language.”
“What does it matter? Why don’t you kill me?”
“Because you’re a Santos, and the last I checked, Dentons don’t kill you.”
She frowned. “Is this some kind of joke?”
“Nope.”
“You killed my family.”
“Nope.”
“You’re lying.”
“Nope. You know, if we were in a game show, right now, you’d be losing.” He moved back toward the chair, and she couldn’t look away. Instead, she glared at him.
She tugged on the chains, and couldn’t believe that she had been captured by a damn Denton. Her neck hurt, and she knelt on the bed, trying to tug on the chains.
“It won’t help.”
“You expect to keep me here? Why don’t you just kill me now, and be done with it?” she asked. The last thing she wanted to be was anywhere near her enemies. The Dentons had taken everything from her.
“I won’t kill you.”
“What? You’re going to lie to me and tell me you don’t kill women now?” She all but growled each word out.
“Nope. I’ve killed women, and I’ve done it with a smile on my face.”
She glared at him. “I don’t want anything to do with you.”
“We never killed Lionel.”
Ruby froze. “Don’t you dare say his name.”
“It’s the truth.”
“No! Enough.”
“Did you see any of us there that night, Ruby? Lionel was my brother’s friend.”
“Enough.” She turned toward him. There had to be some way to shut him the hell up. “I’m going to kill you.”
The door to the room opened, and she watched as one by one, the Denton men entered the room. Landon was the only one missing.
“What? To kill me it has to be a family event, I’m charmed.”
“A family event?” Maddox asked. “You think we’re going to kill you?”
“Why not? You’ve killed my entire family.”
