“Retinal scan and fingerprint near the elevator.” We carry Dane across to the scanner and scan him.
Beep. Nothing. Beep. Nothing.
“You're doing it wrong,” I curse at Dice.
“Am not.”
The intercom buzzes. “This place is a fucking fortress. Do you think I can’t lock it down from the inside because you have a key? Fucking amateurs. Now what the fuck have you done to my Brother?”
“Ares did it,” They all speak at once.
“Bring him up. I will be pissed if anything happens to him.” The doors open, and we step in.
As we reach the floor they're on, we don't know what it is as Ray must control the buttons in the lift. The door pings open, and we’re greeted by the five guys. Who now appear to be Ray’s bodyguards. They're all built like brick shithouses, around six feet tall, and seem to be nearer to Dane’s age than Ray’s.
“When did you stop to pick up the Magic Mike boys, or is it dream boys? Or are they the Thunder From Down Under?”
“Why do you know all those?” Ray pulls a face, and I shrug.
“Can we talk?”
“Look, we're talking. Rook, can you and Queen take Dane to our room and ensure he’s okay?” They step into the lift, dragging him from our hold as we step out.
Ray walks up to me, looks me up and down and punches me straight in the dick. As I double over, she hits me square in the chin, and I slam onto my back, panting. “Fucking hell, Ray, a bit of notice would have been preferable.”
“Did Dane get notice of being drugged?” She steps over me and sticks out her hand.
“No.”
“Didn't think so!”
As she pulls me to my feet, she pulls me closer and then punches me in the gut, knocking the “Oomph” out of me as I fall back on my ass.
“That should do it.” She nods behind us and then stalks off in that direction while I'm left sitting on my ass, dick, and balls in one hand and the other arm wrapped around my ribs while I pant for breath.
When I finally catch my breath and climb off the floor, I head in the direction they all went, pushing into a large kitchen, where they’re all sitting around a table.
“Take a seat, Ares.” She nods to the seat opposite. I slide into it, linking my fingers onto the table.
“Ray, I’m—”
Raising a finger, she cuts me off. “Firstly, Ares, I said I need some space, and here you are in my space; secondly, you drug my brother to break into my home.”
“This isn’t your fucking home!” I snarl as Priest digs me in the ribs. “I’m sorry.” I clench my hands, then relax them and slide my fingers together. “I’m sorry, Ray, please continue,” I say through gritted teeth.
“What do you want, Ares? I really can’t be arsed, so say what you want to, then fuck off, okay?”
“I want you to come home. I need you to come home. As you can see, I'm clearly not thinking straight without you, and I need you and those babies safe. I can't lose them, too, Ray. I’ve lost him, and I can't lose you and what's left of him.”
“And what about what I want, what I need? Do you think I can be there right now? You think I didn’t lose fucking everything?”
“I know you did, and that's why I want you home. He would never forgive me if I didn't look after you and those babies, so please. I’m not above begging. Just come home.”
“I don't know if I can. Me and the boys are gonna get a place near the family, so we—”
“I can find a place. What do you need?”
“Ares.”
