I swallowed, my throat going dry at the subtle one-worded hint.Wet.As in water.
Fuck.
This may be a problem.
Movement shifted across the clearing, and as I turned, I found a fellow male recruit approaching Rhett. He had dark hair and sharply sculpted eyes, standing a dominant six feet tall with his shoulders squared and his large fists clenched, primed in challenge. His eyes were vexed and his whole gaunt face was suppressed with nothing but raw indignation.
My fingers reflexively inched to my side and under my hoodie as two more guys followed in pursuit a moment later. My jaw tightened with anger, and suddenly I had this burning desire to give all of their throats a meet-and-greet with my blades as I watched them spread out in a tactical formation that would’ve left Rhett defensively fucked if it weren’t for the…
The guards.
I cut my sight behind Rhett, scoping through them quickly but delicately. Most of them already had their hands on their guns and were watching and anticipating their every move. The others simply glared out at the rest of us, daring us to try something slick.
Rhett did nothing but smirk at the three guys and lift his hands to the guards standing behind him as a means of saying,I’ve got this under control.Still, the guards didn’t balk.
I relaxed, allowing my arm to fall back down to my side with ease.This isn’t your fight, Samara,my darkness whispered to me.Stay out of it.
“Michael,” Rhett said casually as he scrutinized the guy in front of him first, before his humorous gaze flicked to his left and right. “Darren. Greyson. What can I do for you?”
Greyson?
I blinked, my brows lifting in honest surprise as I silently inched over a few feet to my left to gain a better view.
And holy shit.
It was Greyson.The elevator guy.Heshowed me how to get to the Ravager’s dorm room.
“This is our lives you’re toying with,” Michael, the one standing in front of Rhett, spoke first. “You can’t force us into doing this shit.”
I saw it the moment Michael’s fists curled tighter that he was going to swing, same with the others. I started to reach for my blades again, but thankfully Rhett managed to land a killer right hook to Michael’s jaw just before he could strike. As Michael stumbled back, Rhett whipped out two pistols from behind him and steered his aim directly at Greyson and Darren.
They each growled deeply but raised their hands in surrender and backed away, merging back in with the other recruits. I squirmed through a soft whimper as a rush of intense heat pooled between my legs.
God damnit.This isnotthe fucking time for my va-jay-jay to start acting like a trifling ass hoe.
I got myself together and paid careful attention to Rhett as he began speaking more about the trial, looking back long enough to put his guns away. That’s when a sign from God himself came to me in the form of a shiny glint reflecting off his waist. Hooked and dangling right there on his belt loop was a set of car keys.
Bingo.
I just found my ride out of here.
THE MEETING ENDED ABOUT ten minutes ago. Most of the recruits had cleared out, but there were a few who were actually taking this trial and recruitment shit seriously enough to stay behind and gather as much extra advice as Rhett was willing to provide them.
I was getting antsy. I mean, I still had time, but I needed to get my hands on those keys.
I had to get to Jace. No matter what it took.
“Fuck it,” I muttered, going for it and heading straight for Rhett. One out of the four guards who’d stayed behind witnessed my approach and wasted no time stopping me.
“I need to talk to Rhett,” I gritted out as the bastard forcibly snatched me up by the arm. “Let me go, you fucking prick!”
“Felix,” Rhett snapped just as I was about to stab this fucker, a feral bite in his tone. “She’s with me.”
“She needs to be checked for weapons,” the guard jeered back as he released me, shooting me a nasty scowl.
“I’ll handle it. Now leave. ALL OF YOU, beat it! And Felix…” Rhett’s words faltered in a dangerous hiss. I shivered as the sound of it popped goosebumps down my spine. “Touch her like that again and I’ll fucking kill you.”
The guard sneered, but instead of speaking, he just nodded and forced a fake smile of understanding on his face. Rhett waited until every faint footfall had vanished before speaking again.
