And Evan? Evan looks fucking pleased. "This is exactly what I wanted."

Marcus keeps watching the cameras, his face getting tighter with every second. "They're at the front."

I stop breathing. Kai. He's right outside. I twist my wrists against the restraints.

"Kai!" Evan's smile disappears at my scream. I wrench against the restraints. "Kai! Don’t come in!"

He reaches me in two strides and grabs my face. "Enough."

I jerk away from him. "Kai, it’s a trap!"

His hand clamps over my mouth, but I bite down as hard as I can. "Fuck!" He rips his hand away.

"KAI!"

Evan shoves me so hard the chair tips sideways, and I hit the floor shoulder first. Pain explodes down my arm; I can't breathe, but I can still hear them. Closer now, so fucking close.

"No." I fight against the restraints, trying to get the chair upright even though there's no chance of me doing it from this angle. "Kai..."

Evan looks at me, then toward the front of the house, and smiles as he stalks toward me.

CHAPTER FIFTEEN

tempest

The bikes have been quiet for less than a minute, that's it. Less than a fucking minute since the last engine cut, and I'm already done waiting. I stare at the farmhouse. She's in there. That's the only thing I give a fuck about.

Ghost steps in front of me before I can move. "Don't."

"Move," I grit out.

"No."

My jaw clenches. "She's in there."

"And Calloway wants you in there."

"I don't give a fuck what he wants."

"You should, because he's got Lilah."

That stops me in my tracks, and I look past him at the house. The curtains are closed, there’s no movement at the windows, and nothing at the front door. It's too fucking quiet.

The brothers have spread out around the property. Nobody needed telling twice. Savage and Hades headed around one side as soon as we pulled in, Venom and Renegade took the other, and Sniper disappeared around the back with Rogue a few seconds ago.

Lorenzo's men are staying farther out, watching the road and the fields around the house. If Calloway or Webb somehow gets past us, they're not getting much farther.

I take another step, but Ghost catches my arm. "Tempest."

My temper is flaring. "Get your fucking hand off me."

"Give them a minute."

The fuck? "She's already had two fucking hours."

His grip tightens. "And charging through that door without knowing what's waiting on the other side isn't getting her back any faster."

I look at him but he doesn't move. Fuck. I drag a hand over my face and turn away from the house before I do exactly what he's trying to stop me doing.
