Chapter 78 - Ransom

"Gather round, folks. Come one, come all. See the man who molests little girls, beats his adopted daughter, tries to kill innocents, and sells out to the highest bidder," Asher said as we frog walked Juan into Xander's kitchen.

Kiema walked forward, rage in her silvery gray eyes. "Juan. How unpleasant to see you." She crossed her arms over her chest.

Xander stood next to her.

I could almost feel the insanity of need pulsing through my brother to lay into this man. I looked to Saint and Asher. They nodded almost imperceptibly. We let our prisoner go.

Juan lurched forward, his hands raised as if to wrap them around his adopted daughter's throat.

Xander pulled Kiema behind him, and then kicked Juan right in the face like he was trying to break down a locked door. The smaller man didn't even get a chance to change directions before he dropped to the floor like a sack of shit.

Kiema crawled up Xander's back. "My hero." She pressed kisses all over him as she clung to his back.
