He trembles behind me, and I know he feels just as out of his element as I do.

Aldo clears his throat. “You said you wouldn’t hurt her and my baby.” I ignore the pang in my chest at him referring to the baby as his.

“I told you she was a whore!” My eyes flick toward the voice, only now realizing we’re not alone in the room. I startle when Lizzie steps forward from the corner of the room. She eyes me like I’m prey, a cruel, taunting smile plays on her lips, and I realize I’ve been played.

We’ve been played, because as my eyes trail down her body, I realize there’s no sign of the baby bump that was there yesterday. Anguish flows through me at the repercussions at what I’ve done. I turn my panicked face to Aldo, who looks down at me with a hint of guilt in his longing eyes.

“She wanted to be with Shaw. I approached her and she was more than willing to help.” The words slide from his lips with a small smile, as though proud that he managed to orchestrate it all.

“Get on your knees.” Ravlek clicks his fingers, and I react with a jump.

“Ravlek,” Aldo warns.

Ravlek presses his fingers tighter on my neck, the pain causing me to flinch and whimper. “Now.”

He pushes me to the floor, and I kneel but refuse to cower. I jut out my chin and clench my teeth at his satisfied smile. Biting back the need to insult him, tears pool in my eyes as his thick hands unbuckle his belt. My eyes dart to Aldo’s but he stares ahead at the wall, as though blocking out what’s about to happen to me. My lip trembles. “Aldo?” But he ignores me.

My body shudders, and when Ravlek’s thick fingers dig into my chin, I finally allow the first tear to fall. “Open, Princess.”

His thick cock leaks from the tip, and sickness churns in my stomach, threatening to expel the meager contents on the floor. I tremble against his hand, making him chuckle with glee.

Feeling bump kick against me gives me the reminder to do what I need to do in order to survive, to protect us both.

My instincts kick in and I open my mouth to accept him while I close my eyes and tune out the disgusting grunting noise surrounding me. All but the click of the cell phone, no doubt evidence of my betrayal, becomes background noise as my mind shuts down and my mouth accepts his disgusting thick cock.

SHAW

“How much fucking longer?” I snap.

Owen glares at me in warning, and I glare straight back, uncaring.

Luca and his men are ignoring me, acting like I’m an annoying tic. But I refuse to shut up and be locked out of this mission. It’s my wife and baby they’re discussing.

Maxim throws a bulletproof vest in my direction, and I’m thankful to have something to do other than sitting in a chopper wondering what the hell was on Luca’s cell phone that made him shake violently and his face pale.

Owen gave me a warning look, and this time, I chose to adhere to it. Not wanting to make what is clearly a tense situation worse.

“ETA: two minutes,” Enzo declares as the men gather their weapons. Luca tucks two small knives into his socks and nods toward the open case of blades, offering for me to do the same.

I’ve no clue how to handle them, but I’m not missing out on taking them.

“North and south points of the compound are covered,” Maxim confirms as the chopper lowers.

“East covered,” Enzo confirms into his earpiece, earning him a nod of approval from Luca.

“We’re west, in case you were wondering.” Luca stares at me, and I’m unsure of whether he’s joking or if he really sees me as being that dumb.

“Funny,” I quip back, earning a tug of his lips, not quite a smile, and I know his comment was meant as a joke.

“Stay behind me. We’re going straight to his office as soon as team one has cleared the area.” I nod, thankful he’s allowing me the privilege of rescuing Emi and bump.

The chopper lowers, and my heart rate picks up with the adrenaline pumping through my veins at the prospect of getting my girl to safety.

“Now!” Maxim’s voice booms through the whirring of the rotor blades as we jump from the chopper doors one by one.

Keeping our bodies lowered, we rush toward the gates as Owen and his team use rocket launchers to blast through the solid concrete walls, allowing us a quick entrance into the compound.
