Chapter 4
     
    Ratchet stood a few feet from the door watching the scene that was unfolding near one of the walls. A man was on the ground and Hilconn and Thomas were beating him with stunner sticks. Letting out a gasp Mia moved to stop them. Only Ratchet’s hand shot out and caught her before she could move past him.
    “Let me go!” She hissed at him angrily, tugging at her arm.
    “Not happening, Mia.” Ratchet replied harshly.
    “I need to stop them. Now let me go! You can’t stop me from doing my job.” She told him still trying to pull away from him.
    “I can, actually.” Ratchet told her. His hand moving up her arm as he moved her away from the scene playing out on the other side of the yard.
    “You have no right to touch me. And you certainly don’t have the right to stop me from doing my job. Let me go or I will call them over to beat you instead!” She coldly told the man. Although she knew that she’d never do what she threatened. She couldn’t stomach the idea of him being beaten with stunner sticks. She didn’t like violence very much.
    “Go ahead, beauty. Only know that if you do you’ll be killing those men. I will handle the situation with extreme violence. Nobody fucks with a Devil.” Ratchet told her matter of factly.
    “Please, I have to stop this.” Mia resorted to begging realizing that her threats weren’t working.
    “Shh…beauty. Tiny will handle it.”
    That was when she saw the man who’d come into her office was pointing a gun at Hilconn’s head as he demanded that he stop beating the man. Hilconn being the coward he was stopped. Mia sighed in relief. Two of the devil’s moved to help the man up. Mia tried to move closer then but Ratchet’s firm grip on her arm wouldn’t allow it.
    “Mia.” Ratchet said in a tone that made her lift her eyes to his. When those chocolate brown eyes met his. He felt like she’d caressed his cock. Fuck, what the hell was wrong with him? He wondered.
    “Don’t try to stop them if they do that again.” He demanded gruffly trying to figure out what about her made him almost drown in desire. She wasn’t the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen, and she certainly wasn’t wearing anything that should make him this horny.
    Mia peered at his green eyes that seemed to pierce her soul and said what he wanted to hear. Even knowing that she would do whatever she had to do if this happened again. She wasn’t going to allow them to beat someone to death.
    “Okay.” She said rather than argue with him. He’d never know. She likely wouldn’t see him again for a while anyway.
    “I mean it, Mia,” Ratchet snarled moving in closer to her aggressively. “You could get hurt.”
    “I said okay, didn’t I?” Mia told him with a little growl of disapproval at his tone. 
    “Yeah. Only I know enough women to know that you’re just telling me what I want to hear. So I say again. Don’t try to stop it if it happens again, Mia.” Ratchet commanded.
    Mia glared at him. Who was this man, and what made him think he had the right to demand anything from her? She wanted to ask him that question but because she didn’t want to argue with him she simply looked at him with narrowed eyes.
    Ratchet’s hand lifted to caress her cheek gently. Then he said in a soft voice that made her melt a bit. “I will not be happy if something happens to you, beauty.”
    Ratchet couldn’t understand what made him feel almost feral at the thought of something bad happening to her, but it was true. He wanted to bundle her onto his bike and take her back to the farm where she’d be safe. Not that he wanted to keep her. Hell no. He didn’t need an old lady, but he wasn’t keen on leaving her here where she might get hurt either. He pulled his hands back trying to let her go.
    Sexual frustration was making him crazy, he decided. He so didn’t need this bullshit. He should go back home fuck a sweetbutt and forget about this
