"Is it true?" Ravyn's voice boomed through the hall so hard it made half the room flinch. His eyes burned with pure fury as they locked onto Raul. "Did you fuck with my woman?"
Before anybody could even think about moving, Ravyn lunged.
His fingers wrapped tight around Raul's throat and hauled him clean off the ground like the guy weighed nothing.
Raul's feet kicked wildly in the air. His hands clawed at Ravyn's wrist, trying like hell to loosen that crushing grip, but it was no use. His face went from red to a sickly purple as the air got squeezed right out of his lungs.
"A…A…" The words never made it out. His throat was completely locked under Ravyn's hand.
Watching the whole thing unfold, Daisy's entire body started shaking. Shame flooded every inch of her so deep she could barely stand it.
How the hell had she ever been attracted to someone like Raul? Looking at him now, weak and helpless and choking, she couldn't even recognize the man she'd risked everything for.
