Chapter 21

brOOKE

"Where the fuck am I going to put my gun?"

The boys all start laughing, except for Chase, who's staring at me in silence. Asher is on the floor howling, wiping tears from his eyes as I walk around the corner in this ridiculous outfit, if you can even call it that.

"I'm serious, stop!" I'm standing in Jax's house a couple of hours before I need to arrive at this so-called poker night in black stilettos and a deep black lace lingerie set that accentuates every part of my body a little too much, in my opinion. Black stockings are the biggest thing covering my body right now, and I'm pissed. I wouldn't mind wearing something like this for Chase in the privacy of his bedroom, but instead, I'm standing in a living room with three guys, and the platinum blonde wig I'm wearing just makes me look like some sort of hussy.

"I guess you could put it in your thong?"

I punch Asher in the shoulder as hard as I can for that remark. "Ow. I'm joking," he cries out but is still laughing.

I cross my arms, barely covering myself, "How about my phone?"

"Here," Chase finally speaks, handing me a small black purse. "No gun, in case they check you. There's a laser attached to the keys and a panic button. That's your weapon for the night."

"A laser? What the fuck is that meant to do?"

"Shine it in their eyes." Jax looks at me as he finally stops laughing, smirking. I roll my eyes in response.

"And the syringe?" I ask, thinking this isn't going to work after all.

"It's in the lining of the purse—feel for it."

I let my fingers run over the inner lining and find the slight bulge there.

"Okay, and how am I meant to get it out?" Looking at them like they're stupid, but clearly, I was wrong.

"The laser has a hidden knife; twist it in the middle, and the bottom pops out."

I do as Jax says, and it releases the blade from the laser within a second. It shines in the light and part of me is in awe.

"Damn, I'm keeping this. Best present ever, Thanks Jax."

"Thank Zane, he's pretty good at putting these gadgets together, and I let him in on tonight. He wanted to make sure you had something to defend yourself with."

I'm surprised. I didn't think Zane would want to help me at all. Maybe I have him wrong, and he's not an ass after all.

"Okay, I think I'm ready then. I'll leave now just to make sure I get there in time. It's nearly a two-hour drive, so I'm gonna need to leave."

Chase grabs my hand, stopping me from walking away.

"Uh uh, Hellcat, we're all driving together. You're coming in my car, and then Asher and Jax have a van, and they'll be behind us."

"What if they see us pull up? Don't you think that's conspicuous?"

He chuckles at me. "No baby, you're gonna drop me off about five minutes away, and then they can pick me up. I'll then park at the end of the road."

"I cased the joint yesterday; we won't be far enough that we can't get to you on time if anything goes wrong but we're far enough away they can't spot us from the window."

I nod, it seems like a solid plan. I take a deep breath. "Okay, let's do this."

The boys nod at me before both stepping forward to give me a hug. "Be careful, please," Asher whispers in my ear as he pulls me close.

"I will. I promise." Hugging him back just as tightly. I see Chase's jaw tense slightly in the background, but I watch him breathe out so obviously. He's clearly trying to keep his cool from Asher's hands on me in this lingerie.

Jax hugs me as soon as Asher lets go, a little looser than Asher. I think he's worried Chase is gonna kick his ass still. "Give them hell if they touch you."

I smirk, "You know I will."

"We'll give you guys a couple of minutes." Jax smiles as he walks out the door, leaving Chase and me alone.

He stands still, looking at me from afar.

"What's got your panties in a twist?" I tease. He storms over to me, picking me up by the ass and slamming me against the wall as he kisses me savagely. I barely register how I even got here. His hand slips from my ass as he feels my legs tighten around him, drifting to my neck as he takes my breath away. His fingers squeeze lightly enough that it won't mark but hard enough that he's showing me who's in control here. His hardness presses into my body as I moan into his mouth. He rips his lips away. "Do you have any idea, Princess, how much I hate when my friends have their hands on you like that?" I giggle at him and his overprotective nature.

"Baby, we covered this, I'm gonna keep hugging them."

His hand squeezes just a little more as I gasp. "Not dressed like this."

I smirk at him in response, "Aww, is my big tough man feeling all jealous?"

"You're going to regret that, baby." He drops me down, twisting me around so my back is against him as he thrusts his hand into my panties and starts rubbing my pussy roughly. I sigh, my legs shaking already under his touch. "I'm already not happy to know these sickos eyes are going to be leering at you all night, and then my friends are touching you dressed in something only I should see you in."

I can't talk. My breathing is heavy as his fingers curl into my pussy and his palm rubs my clit heavily, and I can feel the tension coming off him in waves.

"You're staying with me tonight, Hellcat and the first thing that's going is that wig, and when you're all-natural for me, baby girl. I'm gonna make sure you know exactly who you belong to."

I whimper at the thought. Sex with us now is not only intense and passionate, but it's also raw and primal. My pussy makes all those delicious wet sounds as he works me up into a frenzy.

"Do you want to come, Princess?"

I nod desperately, wanting to so he knows I'm his. I want to give him that, but instead, he pulls his hand out and presses his fingers into my mouth, making me suck them clean.

"You didn't say sir…"

My breath catches as he drops that single word. Fuck why does that turn me on so much?

"Tonight, baby girl, I'm going to mark every bit of this skin with my teeth and fuck you so deep you're going to feel me right here." He taps my stomach twice like he did that first time. I tip my head up to him as he pulls his fingers from my lips.

"Yes, sir," I whisper, desperately wanting that. I love it when he goes all primal on me, wanting to mark and claim me as his.

"Good girl." He spins me around to face him, leaning down and giving me a kiss on the forehead. "I love you." His voice softens, his eyes full of it.

"I love you too, Chase."

He exhales slowly like that's brought him some release. "Okay, we need to leave before I rip this thing off you and just fuck you right here."

"Then you need to let go of me, baby." I smile, leaning up and kissing him softly on the lips briefly.

"I'll never let go of you again, Brooke, never again,"

I know my leaving him before still hurts; it's going to take some time for that wound to heal for both of us, and the note just amplified a lot of unresolved issues for him.

He lets go of me, intertwining his fingers with mine before I pull it over my shoulder. "Okay, let's go kill some bad guys." He chuckles, which is music to my ears as we walk out of the house together and make our way to the car to end four scumbag's lives, Together.
