“What’s going on?”
I stepped closer to both men, as they faced off with each other.
“Yes, I’m sure. How much did you get?”
Ice cursed, clenching his jaw before he spoke again.
“Fuck’s sake, enough for a few times, I think. I might be able to get more later. I’m… uh… I have a connection there now.”
What the hell was going on?
“Any instructions on using it?”
Ice cursed again, dragging a hand through his hair.
“Dude, I have what they told me, but…this shit… I mean, with the other stuff, at least we all know what it is. I have no idea what this stuff is, or how risky it is.”
Ryder looked at me then, his words sending a chill down my spine.
“Did that asshole tell you about the drug he dosed you with?”
I blinked dumbly, my brain having difficulty catching up with his words.
“What?”
“When that bastard took you, he gave you something. It made you unable to move, but you were awake. Aware. You could feel.”
Jesus. My legs trembled, and I backed up to sit on the nearest chair.
“My god, why are you asking me about that now? I’m trying so hard to forget about it. About him.”
Ryder crouched in front of me.
“Ice managed to get hold of some.”
My eyes went from Ryder to Ice, who looked even more freaked out.
“What? How?”
Ice groaned, one hand sliding into the pocket of his cut.
“Found details on everything that bastard owned, didn’t I? I know what lab he was forcing to work on this shit.” He withdrew his hand, and held up a syringe that looked terrifyingly familiar.
“Oh god. Oh GOD! Why do you have that?”
Had I completely misjudged Ryder? Was he just as bad as Dom? Was I wrong to trust him so completely, after so little time?
“Baby, calm down. It’s not going in you.It’s going in me.”
What? I started shaking my head, enough that it was making me feel lightheaded. He couldn’t mean that. He couldn’t besaying these things to me right now. How could he do this to me now?
“Yes. Look, we can’t keep pissing around with street drugs. Who knows what they’re dosing that shit with, or cutting it with, or whatever. This is lab made. This… this will let me experience itwith you, baby. I’ll be aware. I’ll be able to feel you touching me, and fucking me.”
“Jesus. Do I have to be here for this?”
Ryder turned his head to glare at Ice.
“Yeah, you do actually. You’re our safety net.”
