Inside the bag is a new top. The following gifts are a lot of new clothes, and when there are no more boxes or bags, I sigh in relief. As amazing as it was, I’m still struggling to accept it, but I’ll deal with that.
I’m juggling the bags one-handed with Ryder’s hand still in mine. Fuck this. I clasp his hand tighter and press it to my breast. “There,” I mutter, as I manage to put down the bags with two hands.
When I look up, they are all staring at me. “What?” I ask, and suddenly they all roar with laughter.
“Assholes,” I grumble, as Ryder squeezes my breast.
I look to him to see those cold eyes sparkling and his grin wide and unrestrained. “Never change, love.”
“Shut up. Now feed me, you kidnappers, I’m hungry.”
Ryder leans closer, grabs the back of my head, and kisses my forehead, lingering there. “Of course,” he murmurs, before getting up and heading to the kitchen. Kenzo sweeps down, kisses me hard, and follows after him.
I’m left with Diesel and Garrett, and suddenly, Garrett looks uncomfortable, but he throws a box at me without looking. “Here.”
“What’s this? Did we miss one?” I inquire, confused.
“It’s from me,” he mutters, rubbing at his head.
I grin. “From you?”
“It’s an essential, I still hate you,” he snaps, making me laugh.
“Don’t worry, I hate you too.” I nod, and he smirks at me for a moment.
“Open it,” he demands.
I do as I’m told, and a huge grin covers my face. It’s a gun, better than my old shitty one. No, this one is fancy, and carved into the slide are the words “Vipers’ girl.” “There is no ammo in it at the moment.” He coughs.
“Didn’t want me to kill you?” I grin. “Accidentally, of course!” I flutter my lashes at him, and he barks out a laugh.
“I need to make sure you know how to properly shoot it. I’ll take you later.” He nods, and I perk up.
“Hell yes! Will you teach me some of your fancy fighting moves too?” I grin.
“No,” he snaps, frowning. “You might use them on me.”
“Or I might use them on D.” I grin, and Diesel shivers.
“Please do, Little Bird,” he murmurs.
“You two are messed up.” Garrett rolls his eyes, but there’s a smile on his lips.
Vipers’ girl indeed.
Ryder and Kenzo feed me enough to have me lying on the sofa, unable to move, and I end up napping there with my feet in Ryder’s lap as he strokes my toes, his other hand on his phone. My head is in Kenzo’s lap, and Diesel is lying on the floor next to me, his hand reaching up to grab mine. Garrett sits on the other sofa, but he doesn’t leave, which is a plus. When I wake up, everyone but Garrett is gone.
Stretching, I yawn and look around. “Shit, how long was I out?”
Garrett glances up from the blade he’s sharpening and puts it away, leaning back as he watches me. “A few hours, you needed it.” He gets to his feet and stretches, his shirt riding up to expose his abs, and I can’t help but stare.
He catches my ogling and must think I’m staring at his scars, because he shuts down, his eyes darkening. “You ready to try your new gun?” he offers, but he seems distant now.
“Sure.” I get up and slip my shoes on. “Do we need to drive there?”
He grunts and heads of out the front door, so I follow after him, my new gun in tow. He heads to the elevator, not speaking to me the whole way down, and I know I need to rectify this shit before he goes back to hating me fully, but as I go to talk, the elevator door opens and he strides out.
Sighing, I follow him, but I freeze when he leads me into what looks like a fucking shooting range. What the hell? What else are they hiding in this building?
