Almost to the lone SUV that isn’t fucked up in the middle of the street, Gabriel suddenly turns around.

Storming back to us with a mean, angry look, he roars, “We’re wasting fucking time!”

I didn’t wilt under James’s glare but Gabriel’s roar almost makes me pee myself.

The man is fucking terrifying when he’s angry.

“Yes, I agree,” James says just before Gabriel reaches him.

“I’m glad you agree,” Gabriel rumbles then he slightly bends and grabs James, lifting him off his feet.

“What the fuck!” James shouts as Gabriel hefts him up and turns back around. Carrying him like one might carry a defiant toddler.

“Let’s fucking go!” Gabriel orders.

Snapping my jaw shut, I rush forward to catch up.

“Put me down!” James demands, trying to squirm out of Gabriel’s hold. “Fuck!”

“No,” Gabriel growls. “You’re too fucking slow.”

“I should fucking punch you. This is fucking embarrassing,” James whines, bouncing in Gabriel’s hold.

“Not as embarrassing as me leaving you behind with the women,” Gabriel replies.

“You can’t leave me,” James says defiantly. “You need my rifle and my eyes.”

Gabriel snorts. “Then stop your fucking whining.”

Unable to free himself from Gabriel’s hold, James seems to just give up. His body relaxing in defeat.

Then he narrows his eyes over Gabriel’s big shoulder and glares back at Nathaniel and me. “If either of you tell anyone about this…”

Smirking, Nathaniel says, “My lips are sealed.”

Gabriel hauls James all the way up to the front passenger door of the SUV and drops him to his feet.

James cringes and bounces a little from foot to foot. “Shit! That hurt!”

Pulling a set of keys out of his pocket, Nathaniel pushes a couple of buttons on a black fob. The car starts up then the back hatch pops open.

Without warning he tosses the keys to me, and I scramble to catch them. “Try to keep it as smooth as possible.”

Snatching the keys out of the air, I nod at him then run up to the driver’s side.

My heart racing, I yank open the door and slide inside.

Unfortunately, the seat is so far back my feet don’t reach the pedals.

While I figure out how to adjust the seat, Nathaniel slams the hatch shut and tells Gabriel to, “Stretch out in the backseat.”

Gabriel grins at Nathaniel as he climbs inside. “You going to buy me dinner first, Doc? I don’t usually do this on the first date.”

“You should be buying me dinner, the way you manhandled me,” James grumbles as he slides into the seat beside me.

“Why? That was nothing. That was only foreplay,” Gabriel says with a straight face.

“Jesus fucking Christ,” James groans and sinks back in his seat.
