Chapter 6

Colton Davenport paced the police station angrily as he listened to the officer. He was pissed his plan to take Benjamin out of the equation backfired on him. He clenched his fists, narrowing his eyes at the older man.

“You had one fucking job!” Colton roared, pounding his fists on the desk.

“You don’t understand, Mr. Davenport.” Michael, the police chief shouted back in defense.

“I gave you the proof and paid you enough money to take him down. All you had to do was one simple thing.” Colton said as he watched Michael cower down to him.

“He called Tilly Scott… there wasn’t anything I could do. Maybe if you provided better quality photos, I could’ve booked him.”

Colton exhaled, “Where the hell is my sister? I specifically told you to have her ready for me to pick up.”

“She wasn’t there when we picked up Ben. It was confirmed that she’s with Amber… the best friend.”

“Then, go get her. What’s the fucking problem?”

Colton snarled, curling his lips in disgust. “I guess I’ll have to find Amber myself.”

Colton stormed out, making his way to the entrance when a hand clamped down on his shoulder. He jerked his head as he spun around, rearing his fist back. When he realized it was the only Jenna, he dropped his fist to his side.

“Jenna, you shouldn’t be here. You need to be at home.” Colton frowned.

Colton may be cold towards most people, but with Jenna… he was different. She was his go-to girl when he needed to unwind. Of course, she was oblivious to his hatred to everyone else. The girl had been in love with him, but he had only seen her as a good lay.

“I was worried about you when you didn’t answer my texts.” Jenna pouted, a sad expression on her face.

“Come on.” Colton sighed, “I need to get you back home… you shouldn’t be out after dark.”

“Are you going to stay with me?” She asked.

“I’ve got business to deal with first, then I’ll come over and make it up to you.” He said, helping her into his car.

Colton drove in silence as he pulled down her street and parked in her driveway. He put the car in park and stepped out, walking to the other side. He opened the passenger side door and helped Jenna out. Colton walked her to her door and gently drew her closer by the hips. She met his gaze and gave him a sad smile.

“Are you sure you can’t stay with me?” She asked hopefully.

“I won’t be more than an hour… two tops. Go inside and I’ll see you later.”

“Colton Davenport, you better not be lying to me.” She glowered as he kissed her cheek.

“I promise.” Colton said, kissing her once more. “Two hours, babe.”

Colton stepped back into his car and let out a breath as he watched Jenna enter her house. He didn’t lie to her. He most definitely would be back to see her tonight. There was just something about Jenna he couldn’t shake. He knew he was a bad man, but he just couldn’t stay away.

Colton entered the bar and scanned the area for a certain person. Jeff was behind the counter serving drinks to several men he’d never seen before. He stormed towards Jeff and leaned forward. “Where the hell is my sister?”

“Haven’t seen the girl. Are you here to drink, or just stir shit up?” He said as he served one of the unknown men another beer.

“Where is Benjamin?” Colton asked.

“Listen, I haven’t seen Chloe, nor have I seen Benjamin for two days. Now, are you drinking or not?”

“No. If you see him, let him know I’m on to him.” Colton said, stalking out of the bar.

Jeff watched Colton rush out the entrance and chuckled to his cousins. “Stupid ass.”

“Something tells me you know exactly where Ben and the girl are.” Tommy, his cousin said.

“I have no idea what you’re talking about.” Jeff winked, grabbing a beer for himself.

Colton stood outside the bar and cursed to himself. He knew Jeff was lying through his teeth. Benjamin and Jeff are best friends. There was no way they’ve gone two day without talking to each other. Jeff knew where Benjamin and Chloe were. He was certain of it. One way or another, he’d track them down and drag Chloe home. No way was he going to let Benjamin taint his sister. Colton was cruel to his sister, but deep down he did love her. It was his father that made him the way he was today. He wasn’t a bad guy deep down… just bad influences.

Colton drove to Jenna’s and stopped in the driveway, looking up to the house. He could see a light illuminating through her living room window. He turned off the ignition and got out of his car, making his way to her front door. He knocked twice and a few moments later, she appeared wearing only her silk robe. She instantly clung to him, wrapping her arms around his neck. His arms slipped around her waist and pushed his way into her house. Right now, he didn’t care that his sister was probably with Benjamin. He only wanted to forget about everything for a while. All that mattered was Jenna was in his arms ready to help him work through his demons.

Was he in love with her?

He wasn’t sure.

Did he care for her?

Absolutely.

“You came back.” She whispered as he wrapped her legs around his waist.

“Of course, baby. You’re the only one I need.”
