"Okay, let's keep going," Hunter said.
We were about to step out of the darkest shadows when we were all illuminated by the light of a phone.
"There you are," Lila Bell said lightly. "Good work. Daddy will be pleased."
Chapter Twenty-Three
Kennedy
Shit.
For half a second, I thought she was joking. That she'd help the twins to help us get away. She was dating them after all, wasn't she? Did that mean she wanted the same peace they did?
A glance at Hunter's face showed he thought the same thing. Then the cogs and wheels in his mind turned. I saw that too.
Along with the exact moment Ice and I were fucked.
"We figured you'd be around here somewhere," Hunter said lightly. "Parker was just saying you couldn't be far away. Weren't you Parker?"
"Yeah." Parker cottoned on to what Hunter was saying. "We were trying to find you while staying out of sight, in case your dad's men mistook us for these two." He jerked his thumb towards Ice and I. "We found them lurking back there and figured we'd bring them to you."
My whole body stiffened. Fucking motherfucker. So much for helping us. I should have known they couldn't be trusted. What part of ‘evil twins’ did I forget to pay attention to? Just because they seemed nice, didn't mean they were.
And now we were screwed.
"Where are the other two?" Lila fixed one then the other with a firm look. If it wasn't obvious before who was in charge here, it was now. Not the twins. She couldn't have been more than eighteen, but she clearly had them pussy whipped.
"We haven't seen them," Hunter said. "We can take these two to your father then go out looking again." He made it sound like he was going out for ice cream, or more alcohol when the party was at risk of running out. Not looking for my guys to hand them over to their enemy.
Now I wondered what they did to Wolf Venom's keyboard player, because they seemed to be lacking a conscience. If they'd hand over their allies to their enemies, they were shitheads to say the least.
The look Ice gave them lived up to his name. For once, he wasn't smiling. He was mentally cutting small strips of skin from each twin. Or tearing off their toenails before breaking every bone in their body. He was listening to them scream and beg for mercy or death. He was watching them dangle from the ceiling by their wrists, their feet centimetres from the floor, hungry and without water for days. Or with just enough water to keep them alive while he worked on them a bit more.
I was glad he had something to console himself with, because all I had was my anger. Of that, I had plenty. I would have cheerfully used the pliers on either of the twins. I could start with the balls and go from there. Okay, thinking violent thoughts was helpful to a limited extent. The realisation I couldn't do anything to them increased my anger.
"Put me down," I hissed.
Hunter looked down at me and cocked his head. "I don't think so. I think if I do that, you'll try to run. You'll only end up hurting yourself if you do that." His tone was perfectly reasonable and conversational, and accompanied by an expression that was borderline giving a shit. Or would be if I bought even a little bit of it.
"Now you care," I said sarcastically. The asshole and his asshole brother threw us under the bus, right at his precious, fucking girlfriend. What a pair of suck-ups.
Ares would have made some snide remark about Lila having a gold plated pussy, or one that contracts back to virgin tightness after she's fucked. Something that would make them hand us over to her and her father. Maybe they were fucking Samuel Bell too.
Whatever, I didn't give a shit if they both sucked him off every night. Or each other for that matter.
Okay, I didn't think about that too deeply, because that was way hotter than it should have been. The very last thing I needed, or wanted, was to be turned on by these asshole twins.
"Of course I care," Hunter said. "We've been looking for a peace offering for a while now, and you two are perfect. Bell will be happy, and Reuben, he'll pretend he never heard of any of you."
He turned to Ice and said, "What is it they call you three? The Devils of Dusk Bay? Personally, I've always thought that was an over-exaggeration, but either way, it's a point in our favour. Leo might even be happy to be rid of you."
Leo might start pulling off heads if anything happened to his son. As for the rest of us, I wasn't convinced he'd give a shit. At least my mother would miss me. And the kids at the gym.
"Who calls us that?" Ice asked. "Because that's a cooler nickname than the evil fucking twins."
His gaze slid off Hunter, over to Lila. "What do they call you and your sister? The other evil twins? I know, the twisted, no,wickedsisters. That has a ring to it, don't you think?"
I didn't see she had a gun in her hand until she raised it.
