~Kai~ My nails dug crescents into my palms, taking in the distance growing between Benny and me. She dressed the part of being a bait - too fucking good. She was oblivious to the eyes she gathered, swaying those hips, sashaying towards the VIP lounge. Molars grinding, I pulled deep breaths and belched them out in succession. It took a fucking lot of restraints not to throw her over my shoulder, drive her back to our apartment, and lock her away from these hungry wolves. Benny exchanged a few words with the bouncer. The bulky, bearded guy recognized her and let her through. God fucking dammit. I bit my lip so hard I tasted blood as she ascended the stairs. Her dress was too short, her mile-long legs and perfectly round ass were a sight to behold; my cock knocked on the zipper of my jeans. I couldn’t even wrap my brain around this entire plan. Why the fuck would Klaus use Benny as bait? Did he lose a screw in the head? He cared for Benny too much that this plan surprised the team.

~Kai~My heart pounded in my head. A deafening silence hung in the air; you could hear a pin drop. Her confession froze me on the spot, and I watched helplessly as a lone tear rolled down Benny’s cheek.“Benny,” I whispered, lifting a hand to wipe her tears. She faced away from my touch, and I felt the pain of her rejection. She swallowed hard, clearing her throat. “I have to go back inside.” Her voice was as cold as winter, contrasting her warm hand against my chest as she pushed me away, evicting me from her personal space.She left the bathroom without another glance. The moment the door shut, my mind started to function correctly.I had to make things right with Benny. This cannot go on for long.I ran after her, catching her before she could round the corner back to the lounge. I gripped her wrist, tugging her backward. She stumbled on her heels and collided with my chest. She hissed, regaining her footing. The dimmed hallway light didn’t hide the annoyance she pinned on me. “Wh

~Benny~Huddled in one corner of my room, Kai held me as if I was made of glass; one mistake and I’d break. He wasn’t wrong.I woke up drenched in sweat, screaming. The darkness never bothered me, but tonight it did. I don’t remember how I ended up curled between my desk and my dresser. I just know I must keep quiet, or something bad will happen.The entire place was silent. My heart thumped in my ears as the seconds ticked by.“Can you at least try?” Kai’s gray eyes were gentle, his touch was soothing, and his presence eased my nerves.I swallowed hard to moisten my parched throat, considering all options on deck.Kai was being too kind, too understanding. This reminded me of our time back on the island. I appreciate he didn’t take advantage of my situation. It’s dumb as fuck, but sex numbed the fear, the pain, and the sadness. It had been my escape from everything I didn’t want to face. I was a druggie, and sex was my poison.“If… if I try, will you give me what I want?” I sounded t

~Kai~“Benny…” I groaned as she tightened her legs around my waist, keeping me from walking away.Her perky ass rested on the breakfast bar, my body slotted between her parted legs. We just finished breakfast and had to meet Ghost ten minutes ago. He’d been staying close in case we’d need assistance, along with Rain.“What?” The little vixen pouted, fluttering her long lashes. She knew what she was doing to me, rubbing her barely clothed pussy against my crotch. I jerked off in the shower, but like I said, nothing would satisfy me apart from feeling her sweet pussy choking my cock.I squeezed her ass with one hand, the other fisting her hair, tugging her head backward. “I need to leave.”“I’m not stopping you,” she murmured.No, she wasn’t. She wanted me to make the choice by torturing me, offering herself on a silver platter.Such a naughty vixen; I wanted to punish her. I wanted to take her so fucking bad. Ghost was a patient man. He’d wait for me even if I was an hour late. That w

~Kai~“Revolver?” I asked Ghost, pressing my body flat on the wall beside the broken door, glaring at the two bullet holes in the wall across the basement entry.Ghost’s expression was passive. “Smith and Wesson.”It’s probably a strange ability to possess, but Ghost could tell what gun you fired just from the sound of it. It takes years and experience. He was already with Klaus when I met him, and his story was something I’ve always wanted to decipher, but he’s not an open book.“.38 caliber?”He nodded. “Six shots.”“Classic self-defense for chicks,” I murmured under my breath.“Uh-huh. She is terrified,” he said, faced me, and jumped to my side. Two bullets followed him; the wall across the door now has four bullet holes. “Two more.” Ghost checked his Glock. “It’s your call, Kai.”“Yeah?” I tipped my head to the side, adrenaline pumping into my veins. Since I was the youngest in our group, I’ve always been the follower, never the plan maker or one to take the lead.“Benny’s your re
