“Yes, boyfriends.She’s with Luke Steel and Jordan Stone at—”
“Wait, your friend Sasha is Sasha Reed of Stone and Steel Holdings?”
I pulled a t-shirt down over my head and paused. “You know them?”
Hunter shook his head. “It doesn’t matter. Whatthe hellis going on?”
“Someone’s kidnapped them,” I said, the cold feeling sinking into my chest as I said the words out loud. “Someone’s kidnapped them, for ransom or something, and they just broke into their house while I was on the fuckingphonewith my best friend and took her—”
And then I lost it. All three of them surrounded me then, comforting me with their warmth and their soothing touches, and propping me as I was about to fall entirely. The tears came hot as I dropped my face into one of their chests, feeling three sets of arms circle around me and hug me tightly.
I looked up into Damien’s eyes.
“She’s pregnant,” I whispered, tears falling down my face.
“Let’s go,” Hunter growled as he and Sean pulled away.
“Already on it,” Sean growled, a phone in his hand. “Yeah, it’s me. We need the plane ready,” he barked into the phone. “Fuckingnow.”
My eyes locked with Damien’s. “She’s preg—”
“And we’re not going to letanythinghappen to her,” he said fiercely. “I swear it.”

Ishould have been therefor her.
It was the only thought going through my head as the plane rumbled towards New York; averydifferent plane ride than the one before. The three of them were on cell phones, making calls with stony faces and terse voices, trying to assess the situation.
Finally, Hunter put his phone down, walked towards me, and wrapped his arms around me.
“We’re going to handle this, I swear.”
“I should’ve been there,” I murmured into his chest.
“What exactly would you have done? Stopped them yourself?”
“Yes.”
“I don’t doubt you would have tried,” he said tightly.
Sean’s phone rang and he snatched it up.
“Yes?”
His eyes went wide.
“Shit, hey, hang on, I’m putting you on speaker.”
He looked up. “It’s Luke and Jordan.”
I lurched to my feet. “What?!”
“Ari?” Luke’s voice came on through over speaker, his voice jagged and harsh.
“Luke! What’s—”
“They have her,” he growled. “They’ve fuckinggotSasha.”
