clue that Lucky and I were together, he’d be lying dead in a puddle of his own blood. Nothing scared me more.
    “This is nothing new, Lena…” Lucky said with a nonchalant shrug of his shoulders. It was as if Lucky was just asked if he wanted spaghetti or steak for supper. To him, the threat was a small thing. He dealt with things as they came, and he would deal with the Delgados when they came at him, guns blazing. Until then, he wouldn’t worry about his own safety. It was me  he was concerned about.
    I pulled back and looked down at my hands as thoughts ran through my mind a mile a minute.
    Lucky touched the side of my face, and I glanced up.
    “What is it?” he asked softly.
    “I’m scared, Luck. It’s more than just talk with my father’s guys. They aren’t playing about wanting your blood on their hands. It isn’t a silly joke like the shit we pull with each other. They’re horrible people. I swear I’ll kill them all if they take you out.”
    “Baby… Ain’t no one going to get their hands on me. I know how to handle your father, and your cousins,” Lucky insisted, sticking out his stubborn jaw.
    “How can you know that? How can you be so damn sure?!” I asked, letting worry get the best of me.
    “Because I’m not some chicken shit who is going to take their crap. If the situation presents itself, you know what I have to do,” Lucky warned.
    I sighed and pressed my fingers to my temples. A headache was forming, and I was trying to rub it away before it got worse.
    “Baby…” Lucky said in the softest of voices.
    “Yeah, hon?” I asked as I glanced toward the ground. He was making it all out to be so much simpler than it was.
    “If the situation presents itself, and one of your cousins tries to take me down, or your Dad… You know what I have to do,” Lucky said, clearly not holding his tongue. “The same goes if they hurt you. I know they are your family and all, but they are dangerous men.”
    Giving Lucky a somber glance, I couldn’t help but tear up. He was everything to me. If anything happened to us, I didn’t know what I would do. I rarely cried, and by the look on his face, he was a little lost as to what to do with me now that I was, but I just couldn’t help it.
    Quickly, Lucky stroked the tear away and gave me an understanding look. “Baby. No tears, okay? It kills me when you cry.”
    Talking through my tears, I replied, “Fine. Do what you need to do. No one is taking you away from me. Not even my father.”
    “I know you love him but…” Lucky began but he was immediately cut off as I waved my hand to silence him.
    “I love you more and you know it,” I said as I laced my arms around Lucky’s neck. “Besides, he’s a complete monster. I just wish he wasn’t. I think that hurts more than knowing that I have to help bring him down. He used to just be my daddy, you know?”
    Lucky nodded and brushed his fingers across my cheek softly. “I know, baby.” Lifting my chin with one finger, Lucky brought my mouth to his in a long slow kiss. His tongue snaked out of his mouth and pressed into mine, the taste of him causing me to groan as desire blossomed in my tummy. He took his time with me, but moved back when I pressed against his chest.
    “Then don’t you worry your pretty head over it. We’re gonna get through this,” Lucky assured me as his eyes drilled into mine. “Everything is going to be okay. You’ll see.”
    “I hope you’re right,” I responded, letting the worry I still felt bleed into my tone.
    “Am I ever wrong?” He pulled me in tighter and gave me a smile that had my body humming for attention.
    “On occasion, but I’ll let you make that up to me.” I slid my hand into his hair and pulled him down for a long kiss. “Go shut the door and let me get a bit of my emotion out. Care to be my whipping boy?”
    He pulled back and walked toward the garage door, commenting as he glanced over his shoulder. “Fuck, yes.”
    I sat down in the
