Tormented (Fallen Aces MC #3)
Page 28
“What’s going on in this one, buddy?”
He usually comes out with some elaborate story that entertains me no end. I can’t wait to hear the reasoning behind this drawing.
His eyes glance across before he goes back to the game and carefully pauses it. “That’s me,” he says, leaning over to point out the stick figure farthest from the house. “And that’s my friend.”
“What you doin’?”
“Making the sky pretty for Mommy, just like she likes.”
Most nights Abbey sits out on our balcony, overlooking the treetops as the sun sets. Every now and then, Leyton joins her, and the two of them cuddle under a blanket as the temperature drops, the stars coming out to shine.
“That’s nice of you two.” I smile at the picture. One for the fridge. “Who’s your friend? He from playgroup?”
Three days a week, Abbey takes him for a few hours at our local community center so Leyton has a chance to work on his social skills.
My boy shakes his head, shuffling closer until his legs rest against my side. “No.”
“Do I know him?”
His icy-blue eyes harden, and he frowns. “Maybe.”
“Where does he live?” If it’s one of the neighborhood kids, I’ll get Abbey to take him over for a play more often.
“Up here.”
The picture crumples in my hands as my angel, the fucking light in my dark, lifts his pudgy hand and taps a finger square to his temple.
Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, does it . . .?
My devil hangs his coat on the hook, and dusts off his desk with a smile on his face.
And all I can do is cry.
NOTE FROM MAX
First off, thanks for reading Sawyer and Abbey’s story!
You might have a few questions if you got this far, like: What happened to Grace? Or, why did they move away from the MC? What about Ramona and Mack?
To answer every thread this story gave me would have meant another huge book (possibly two) and to be honest, the main story didn’t need that. But rest assured, I have plans to answer all of those questions over my next two or three Fallen Aces MC releases!
If the Fallen Aces are your first books of mine, and you’re wondering what some of the details are behind the Fallen Aces’ decision to take on Carlos, and who the Butcher Boys are … then I suggest you read the Butcher Boys series—it’s all explained in there. They’re available on all major platforms.
Any questions, feel free to get in touch with me through Facebook or my email. I’m happy to do my best to answer everything for you ;)
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
My first thanks will always be dedicated to my family. They mean the world to me, and I hope my efforts continue to make them proud. <3
Thank you to everybody who patiently waited out this book. 2016 was a year filled with hurdles, professional and personal. But, it’s those things that try you, which make you grow.

Onto the next . . .
