“We saw our mistake,” Mitch said. “It won’t happen again.”
Noah smirked. “You think I’m just going to bow down. Let you hurt us?”
“You think yourself in love with the girl now, do you?” Mitch asked.
“You’re not touching her.” He saw it now. The resemblance. Mitch and Denison looked so much alike it was scary. “You covered for him. You made sure he could get away.”
“Well, yeah, those other captives, they’ve earned us a lot of money. I wasn’t going to have two little shits ruin our operation here,” Denison said. “I want her.”
“You can’t hurt her just yet,” Mitch said.
“We don’t have to sell either of them right away. We can have our fun and then get them both nicely cleaned up, ready to enjoy the guests of whoever decides to buy them.”
Skye squeezed his hand, and he knew she was terrified. They both were.
He still had the knife in his pocket, and he got it out. Their only escape was covered by the two of them.
“You’re just going to stand there?” Denison asked.
“We’re more than happy here,” Noah said.
“You going to let him talk for you, Skye?” Again, Denison was the one speaking. He licked his lips as he stared at Skye.
Noah wasn’t going to let her go to that monster. He saw the evil so clearly in his gaze, and all he wanted to do was to take care of her.
You shouldn’t have come here.
You’re a fucking idiot for thinking this was the right thing to do.
Holding her tightly against him, he looked for a way out. The window may be their only option, but they’d have to break the window, ensuring he did it in one hit, and then climb out of it, without touching the glass that hadn’t smashed and risk injuring themselves further. The only problem, there wasn’t that much of a gap between where they were all standing. It wouldn’t take them that long to reach them. If he broke the glass and escaped, Skye would already be at their mercy. If he broke the glass and allowed Skye to escape, there was still too much time between them, and either way, he couldn’t leave her behind. He’d be able to fight them, but Skye wouldn’t.
All he had on him was a single knife.
Then again, when they first escaped, all he had on him was a meal tray and a metal fork. Damn, he was overthinking this just a little too much.
Wrapping his arm around her shoulders, he drew her close to him. “I’m the only one she wants.”
He saw the flick of anger in Denison’s eyes. Maybe, just maybe, if he got Denison to react or even Mitch, he’d be able to catch them off guard.
“Is that so?” Mitch asked.
“Yes,” Skye said. “I only want him.”
“Even after what he did to you.” Mitch laughed. “I love it when they think they know each other. Noah couldn’t even give her the time of day, and all of a sudden, a bit of forced sex, and she’s putty in his hands.”
“I can’t wait for her to beg me. It’s going to be so delicious when she does.”
They were taunting them.
“You know what, I’m starting to get really fucking bored with all of this waiting around.” Denison suddenly pulled a gun from his pocket. “And when I get bored, I make bad decisions.”
Knife against a gun, that wasn’t good odds.
“Oh, dear,” Mitch said. “I wonder what the big, bad teenagers are going to do.”
“This is what they’re going to do. Skye’s going to come here to me and we’re going to have some fun. Mitch, you’re good with this one, right? I remember you saying you wanted to have a piece of him. Well, you can take a lot of pieces if it would suit you. He’s got teeth and nails, and besides, he can still serve without a cock as well. We’ll remove his teeth, and he can suck everything for the rest of his life.”
Skye moved in front of him. “Just let us go. We won’t tell a soul.”
