Page 15 of Beta Team-The Saviors: Part two
She laughs. “You’re the only one that shouldn’t be.”
“That’s comforting,” Tyler says dryly. “Although, your brother is fine as fuck.”
“Eww. Tyler!”
“I mean, he is,” Gavin agrees with a chuckle.
“Truth!” a female voice comes through, and I immediately recognize the smoky tone.
“Hi, Les,” I say.
“Hey, Jason. So, when I said we should hang out again, this isn’t what I meant.”
“I want to go back to you agreeing Kane is hot,” another male voice chimes in.
“Come on, Ryder. You can’t honestly say that when you look at that man, your cock doesn’t get hard.” That voice I’ve heard before, but can’t place it.
“Gage,” someone growls, and I can’t help but laugh.
“What’s the matter, Zaney baby?” Les purrs. “Can’t take a little Daddy competition?”
“He is like the Ultimate Daddy,” Tyler chimes in. “Daddy of all daddies. Just, bend me the fuck over right now.” If their goal is to distract me, it’s working. Even though the conversations are hushed, they’re still funny as hell.
“Stop!” Kira giggles. “This is so gross, and their husbands are right here.”
“No disrespect,” Gavin replies. “Just stating the obvious.”
“He’s right here too.” That voice is deep, and thickly Russian.
“Oh, shit,” Kira gasps, and then cracks up laughing. “Hi, Kane.”
Tyler looks over his shoulder and even with the mask I know his eyes are huge. “Uh, hey, Kane.”
“We’ll talk about this later,” Kane replies, and comms go completely silent.
The group in front of us rounds the corner, and I freeze. Their tactical gear is different, and they aren’t wearing masks. They’re wearing black helmets that look eerily close to the ones like the guys who grabbed me.
“It’s a long story,” Gavin says, urging me to start walking again.
Now that I look closer, several of them are different. I’ve already figured out that the Saviors wear skull masks, and the mystery group wears helmets. There’s several others scattered between with black masks and their hoods pulled up, which I’m guessing is Les with her guys. I shake the negative thoughts away because I know if we were in danger, the team leading us would react.
Ari’s legs buckle again, and Tyler grunts. “Come on, man. We’re almost there.” Blood is soaking the back of his shirt, and his arm keeps slipping off Axel’s shoulders.
“Fall back,” Kane says into comms, and Gavin jerks me to stop. He pushes me behind him and raises his gun. “Incoming.”
I grab the back of his shirt, trying to get my heart back under control. I hear Ari groan in front of me, and I know that we don’t have much time left. Gunshots erupt around us, and I’m being shoved into one of the open cells with Gavin guarding the door. A sharp pain rips through my chest, making me gasp and clutch it. Gavin spins around, ripping his mask off. There’s so much worry in those blue eyes that I want to reassure him, but I can’t get my mouth to form the words, just a pained whimper.
“What’s wrong?” Gavin asks, sitting me gently on the side of the cot. “Baby?” Gavin puts his fingers against my neck, checking my pulse and curses under his breath. “We need to get Jason out of here now,” he says into comms.
“Clearing a path,” Tyler answers, and the sound of the gunshots echo loudly down the hallway. “Move, move, move!”
Gavin slings his AK behind him and scoops me up in his arms. I keep one hand clutched against my chest and wrap my other around his neck. “I’ve got you, Baby. Just a few more minutes.”
The rest of the team surrounds us, but we start moving much faster now. I tried so hard to hold it together so we could get Ari out of here, and now they have to worry about both of us. “I can walk,” I whisper.
Gavin quickly looks at me. “That’s not happening. I could barely feel your pulse.”
I can feel my heartbeat still beating sluggishly, and in truth, if I don’t get it under control soon, it will stop beating entirely. Not that I’m going to tell Gavin that. Instead, I kiss his chin and try to make myself as light as possible.
