Landon: Justice Series ― Erotica Paranormal Romance by Kathi S. Barton Page A

realized that I was different than the other kids. I had...you should have heard my mother when I told her what I could do. She had me examined by several doctors and then put in the hospital for an extended rest. What sort of rest did she suppose would ‘cure’ me? I have no idea.” Landon looked at Connie and Aster when they joined his grandda in the room. “I have the greatest friends, did you know that? I wish you could meet them.”
    “Tell me about them later. Right now you need to know everything so you can move on with this. This is going to end with these people, even if I have to hire Kari to eat them alive. I’m sure she’d do it. She’s scary when she’s a panther. And then you and I have to talk.” He knew that too. Steele had called him on the way home to give him a heads up on what had happened with Dillon and who her father was. “Landon? Are you sure you want me to stay here? I mean, my father, he’s a lot meaner and carries out what he wants with force and a bullet.”
    “Yes. I love you.” He had never in all his life said that to anyone before. When Dillon shook her head at him, he nodded. “I do. I honestly do. And as soon as we’re alone, I’m going to show you how much I love your body as well.”
    Connie cleared her throat and smiled at him. She had become such a dear friend to him, and someone that he’d come to enjoy talking to more and more of late. He wished he’d known her when she was alive, and thought of her like someone would a grandmother. A best friend that you could go to and would never judge you. Just as his grandda was to him.
    “Allister Malone is coming here. He’s not happy with what happened to his men either. We’ve been watching him, keeping tabs on him when we figured out who Dillon was.” Landon wanted to tell Connie that he wasn’t sure he could take any more bad news, but only nodded and held Dillon. “He knows that she’s here. There was a picture of her that hit the papers the other day. Not on purpose, but it happened when someone had shot a picture of Old Things, Vinnie’s antique store, and Dillon just happened to be coming out when it was taken.”
    He told Dillon and felt her stiffen in his arms. “He’s not going to get you. He won’t come close to you either. He’s a fucking moron if he tries to. Steele and I have taken all kinds of precautions to keep everyone safe. And with the network of ghosts we have helping us, he’ll never get close enough to even breathe the same air you do before we can take care of him.”
    “I don’t think you understand what sort of person he is. I mean, do you have any idea who he is? What sort of things he’s done that he’s never been arrested for?” Dillon got up, and Landon looked at Aster when she said his name.
    “I have two people looking into his life. And a few more keeping tabs on his movements. He won’t be able to go anywhere without one of us knowing about it, like you told her. But you should know that the people that he’s killed or had killed, they’re not going to rest until he’s on their side.” Landon told Dillon, and she said nothing to him. “Let her go, Landon. She needs to work this out her way. She’s stressed out. We all are. We have seen what he does to people who cross him. You have to find out what he has in mind for her. And why she has until now believed that he’d not hurt her.” He had an idea what the man would want with someone like Dillon…the things, the information that she could get for him with a simple touch. She was a gold mine and a liability at the same time.
    “Dillon, why does he want you bad enough to send those men after you?” She paused in her pacing but never answered him. “Aster, Steele’s sister, said that in order for us to help you, we’d have to know it all. Why does your father want you home? And will go to such lengths to get you there.”
    “I know where the bodies are.” He thought that she was kidding, but when she turned and
