“Ha, very funny, Macon. Now let go.â€? Macy said; he was gripping her wrists from behind.

“No.â€? Macon stated. He turned to Shane. “Hey Shane, you want to give what she deserves?â€?

Macy interrupted, “No Macon. Let go of me.â€?

“No can do.â€? He walked to Shane, dragging Macy along and she started to panic. One of the them was bad, but them together was worst. “What are you going to do? Call Derrick to defend you? You don’t have Derrick. You don’t have anyone anymore.â€?

The guys were standing on either side of her now. She knew what this meant. Torment like the old days when there were issues. Macy had to use her last defense.

She turned so that her body was facing Shane. And then she knew he would look down. He would. It was a reflex. Shane tried not to, but his eyes drifted to the mark on her leg. And he cringed. He remembered that night just as well as Macy did. He stepped away quickly.

“Man, what the hell? This is payback time.â€? Macon hissed.

“I promised I’d never hurt her again.â€? Shane whispered.
