Four or Dead

Chapter 46

Emma... Present...

Devaro leads me to a black SUV that is parked in front of the house. My heart is pounding as I wonder if the boys will come after me or not. Will they stop me from going? Part of me hopes not because I need space but another part of me wants them to always come for me. Maybe that's selfish, but I have never had someone want me so badly that they would never let me go. I feel it with the boys and Asher especially but I know that they will also respect my wishes whether they agree or not.

My mind and heart are torn about all this and it's making me feel sick with guilt. Devaro holds the door open for me and I climb in. The inside of the car is all black as well and smells like aftershave and cigarettes. It smells like Devaro. He joins me soon after and pulls away from the curb as soon as he gets the car started. It's silent for a while and I focus my attention on what's passing us outside the window. The suburban area falling away and giving way to the bright lights of the big city. (*

Even at night, the city shines as people find a way to relax and blow off steam in clubs and bars. Places I have never been to actually. I wonder what a club experience would be like.

"Are you ok?" Devaro finally asks in his deep smooth voice.

It's so different from Asher and I turn to him and just examine his face for a second. He and Asher look alike in some ways but Devaro has a sharper jaw and more chiseled features. Asher obviously takes from his Chapter 46

mom in some ways because his features are nowhere near as intense. Devaro's hair is slicked back and his beard is trimmed and short. He looks in every way like a polished businessman, the only thing making him look the part of a kingpin is the tattoos that peek from his polished suit.

Intricate designs travel up his neck and across his knuckles. He is gorgeous and dangerous. When he glances over at me I realize I hadn't answered his question.

I clear my throat and adjust in my seat. "Yes, I'm fine."

My words are tight and clipped as I berate myself for checking out Asher's dad. I mean how wrong is that? Thirty-five is not that old but the fact that he is Asher's dad makes any ideas of him seem taboo. Not that I have an interest in him. Looking and admiring him has nothing to do with interest. Right?

"You're not hurt?" he asks reaching over and gently brushing a finger along the red marks Asher left.

My chest tightens at the sight of those marks on my skin after so long being free of marks now. I glance up to Devaro and see the intense concern in his eyes that seems to not fit all the stories I have heard and how Asher talks about him. He looks sad more than anything, it may be Iwas doing that thing where I try to see the good in everyone. Even after everything I always hope people can be redeemed.
