you little putz.”
“Wow, and I thought we were friends.” He stared at Death before letting out a little chuckle and shrugging. “Guess not.” Blade let an evil grin spread over his face and Death wanted to rip it off with his fist. Only at the moment that was impossible, which didn’t help his mood any. He watched Blade turn to follow Becky into the hall and his insides twisted with thoughts of him punishing her. Damn it, why did he care? He tried to force himself not to speak but somehow he couldn’t seem to stop the harsh words that flowed from his mouth.
“Blade,” he growled as the other man glanced back at him, his hand still on the door handle. “Don’t hurt her for being in here. I don’t give a fuck that I owe you for Roz or the information you’ve fed us over the years. You’ll die if you lay a hand on her.” Death watched the way the other man’s brow rose to his hair line and his head tilted as he considered him for a long moment.
“Even after she trapped you, it bothers you that I might hurt her, doesn’t it?” Blade asked.
“Just remember that I always get my revenge. If I don’t escape myself you know my club will be coming for me and when they get here, you better believe I’ll be leaving with them. Only question is whether I’ll be slicing you to pieces as I exit or if I will let you live.” Death glared at Blade who watched him silently with his hand still hovering over the handle on the door.
“Huh, interesting,” Blade finally said, looking suddenly thoughtful.
Fuck. That wasn’t a look he wanted to see on a Headhunter’s face, that was for damned sure. Why had he said anything about the girl? He should have just kept his mouth shut and murdered Blade on the way out if he’d hurt her. Now the son-of-a-bitch knew how to control him. Yep, he was becoming a damned fool and he had no idea why. Becky shouldn’t even be a blip on his radar and yet here he was giving up his hand like a rookie over just the idea that she might be harmed. He had lost his fucking mind when they drugged him. Likely when they’d allowed him to fall face first onto the pavement. Huh, maybe that was it. Hitting his head had to be the reason he was acting so out of character because nothing else explained it.
“I’m going to give you some free advice, Blade,” he muttered, trying not to let his unease with his behavior show. “ Let me go. You don’t want the Bandits coming in here because they’ll slaughter you and your crew. Sad part is I think you damned well know it and you’re still thinking you can lock me up here,” Death growled, jerking on the chains again, hearing them creak and rattle as pain spiked through his wrists.
“Two things are holding up your theory about that,” Blade said, a wicked grin on his face. “One, how are you so sure that your crew can find you. And two, how do you think they’d be able to get in without us knowing. Because neither of those things is likely to happen so you might as well settle in, my friend. You’ll be here for a long while if you don’t do what I ask. Now, I’ll be back soon so try not to miss me too much.”
Blade grinned before he stepped out into the hall without another word and Death let out a frustrated growl, jerking again on the chains which didn’t budge.
Jamie leaned against the wall across from where they were keeping Death, her cheeks still warm. Her insides were still shaking a little after getting way more personal with him than she’d planned. It wasn’t that she was completely innocent; she’d had sex before but it was embarrassing that she’d had to shove his dick back into his pants when she barely knew him. Not that he had seemed to mind. Jamie rubbed a hand over her face as that thought sent another warm flush down her body.
She looked at the ceiling for a long moment before she felt the presence of someone next to her and looked over to see Thorn watching her. Jamie felt her skin crawl and she
