“Hunter’s with you again?”

“Yes, he’s fucking with me again,” I hissed, calming as Hunter leaned against the lockers and placed an arm around my middle to pull me back against his chest.

He was tense, so I knew he was aware that something was wrong.

“Head’s up then,” Diesel sighed before hanging up without another word.

What was that all about?

Caden matched my frown with his own, thankfully ignoring Hunter’s closeness to me.

“Who was that and what did they say?”

“Diesel. He said heads up,” I replied with confusion as Hunter placed a kiss on my neck.

He smiled as his lips trailed across my skin, his voice low.

“You’ll figure it out in a second.”

I went to reply but Slash was suddenly in front of us, and he looked ready to murder one of us.

Probably both.

Hunter chuckled, nibbling my earlobe before moving back and giving him a grin.

“Hey, man. What’s up?”

“Don’t fucking touch her,” he snapped, and Hunter faked a hurt heart like the award-winning actor that he was.

“Donovan wouldn’t let me unless she wanted me to, and you know it. Play nice Mr Russo.”

Slash fumed, but I took a step away from all of them, throwing my hands up in the air with frustration as I noticed a crowd forming.

“Easily fixed. All of you can stay the fuck away from me. Good? Good!” Then I turned and stormed off towards the parking lot.

I was nearly at my car when I noticed someone moving in my direction out of the corner of my eye.

I slowed, pulling my phone from my pocket to pretend to answer a call, before turning and walking in the direction I’d come from.

The person followed, their footsteps getting closer until I heard their voice.

“Hey, stop for a second. I just want to talk.”

I could see their reflection in the window as we passed part of the building, the Satan’s Soldiers logo staring back at me.

I saw his hand reach out to grab me and I bolted, hearing him curse as I ran around the corner before he could stop me.

I jammed my phone into my pocket as I ran, panic starting to seep in as I realized he could actually take me, and no one would know until it was too late.

His footsteps pounded behind me, and as I turned the corner to run past the gardens, I was suddenly yanked behind the bushes and a hand clamped over my mouth before I could make a noise.

I fought for a moment as panic surged through me, but I heard Diesel’s voice in my ear over the beating of my own heart.

“Shut up or they’ll hear you. Didn’t mean to scare you.”

I stopped fighting and tried to calm my breathing, speaking softly once he moved his hand from my mouth and the Soldier had run past, not pulling away from Diesel’s protective hold on me.

“What are you doing here? I could’ve stabbed you.”
