something for the club and died for it.
Ashley didn’t deserve to be killed, but when I get the bastard responsible,
I’ll kill him.”
    He watched her tense.
    “Are you afraid of me?” he asked.
    Sasha didn’t answer him. He watched her frown, but
seconds later she shook her head. “No, I’m not.”
    “No, are you insane? I just told you I’d kill a man
for killing my friend, and you’re not afraid.”
    She ran a hand across the table. “I don’t get you. Do
you want me to be afraid of you, or do you want me to trust you?”
    Letting out a sigh, he rubbed a hand across his face.
“I’m sorry. Thinking about Ashley makes me mad, and I don’t know what I’m
saying.”
    “It’s okay. You’ve never hurt me.”
    “You don’t know me,” he said. Didn’t this woman have
any gut reaction to the dangers out there?
    “Kenneth did know me, and yet I’m blind because of
him.”
    Her words forced him to pause as he looked down at the
menu.
    “What? He hurt you.”
    “No one knows what he did. The doctors think I was
arguing with him over something silly and I fell down the stairs. I was told
trauma to the head can cause blindness. Kenneth hurt me, and since then I’ve
been blind, depending on him to take care of me.” She stopped talking. He saw
her lip wobble. “My mom can’t do anything. She’s scared of him, I’m sure of
it.”
    “He caused your blindness, and now you’re
having to rely on him. Who takes care of you?” he asked.
    “No one. My mom and Kenneth take turns to get me out of the house. He rearranges
the furniture so I can’t remember the layout of the room.” She stopped. “I
really shouldn’t be telling you this.”
    Pussy opened his mouth to talk to her when the sound
of her stomach rumbling caught his attention. “You’re hungry?”
    “Yes, I’ve not had any breakfast.”
    Cursing his interest in her life, he started to read
off the menu. None of the food registered in his mind as spoke the words out
loud.
    “Oh, I like the sound of the spicy cheeseburger. Could
I have all of that with extra sauce and sides?” she asked. Her face looked
animated.
    “Sure.” He signaled for the waitress to come to the
table. Pussy ordered their food and asked for the dessert menu. When he turned
back to her, he saw her panicking.
    “Crap, I’m so sorry. I don’t have any money. There’s
no way for me to pay you back.”
    “Don’t worry about it, baby. I’ve never taken a woman
out with the intention of her paying. This is all on me, so enjoy it.” He took
hold of her hand once again.
    Pussy liked the feel of her hand in his. There was no
way he’d be giving Sasha back to Kenneth, knowing about what he’d done. The
club wouldn’t let a woman go back to someone who was going to hurt her.
    Sasha was vulnerable.
    “I’m sorry about your friend,” Sasha said, breaking
the silence that had fallen between them.
    “Thank you. Ashley, she was a spitfire and didn’t
deserve to die.” He stopped talking to clear his throat.
    “Have you killed someone before?” she asked.
    “I’m not going to answer that.”
    “I don’t know what else to talk to you about. I hate
silence.”
    “Tell me what you know about our club.” He ignored all
the other people in the steakhouse. The smells were making him desperate for
food.
    “I don’t know anything about you. My mom and Kenneth
have warned me to stay away from you. They’ve not said anything other than that
you’re dangerous.”
    “And yet, you’re not afraid of me?” he asked.
    Looking down her body, he caught sight of her hardened
nipples. Did he turn Sasha on?
    She’s blind, you idiot. Don’t start thinking about that shit.
    “No. You don’t make me feel afraid. I’ve been around
Kenneth. He’s not a nice guy. Whenever he goes to town he’s always in meetings
with an Italian guy.”
    He paused. “Italian guy?”
    “I think he’s an Italian. He’s got an accent, but I
think I’ve heard Kenneth say he’s not actually
