Leon stumbles back, chuckling. “You look hot like that.”
Still fighting back tears as much as I can, I quietly ask if I can shower now.
“I don’t give a fuck,” Leon says before slapping my ass hard.
I manage to make it to the bathroom on shaky legs and turn on the shower. As soon as the hot spray hits my face, I break, letting the tears fall and mix with the water. At least he didn’t actually fuck me. I’ll take humiliation over penetration any day, but it’s coming. I know it is.
After my shower, I find Leon passed out and snoring in bed. Thank fuck. The house is quiet but that doesn’t mean it’s empty. Someone is always lurking, making sure I can’t slip away in the night.
So I climb into bed and roll onto my side away from Leon, silently praying to the universe to help me out of this mess. If not Carnage, then send someone. Please. I can’t take much more of this.
CHAPTER 6
Carnage
“Got some news.”Whisper enters the rec room carrying his laptop.
I perk up immediately. “You found Rue?”
“Not exactly. There’ve been no hits on the tracker since you installed it until today. I’m pretty sure wherever they live has bad reception or something, but now they’re on the move.”
“Where?”
“Mistone, west side.”
“I’m going.”
“Wait, Carnage,” Whisper says. “Come here.”
I walk over to him. “What?”
“Where exactly do you think you’re going? They’re literally moving. We need to wait for them to stop.”
I huff out a breath and drag my hand through my hair. “Fine. You’re right.”
“We’ll find him.”
“Find who?” Specter asks, entering the room with Colson beside him.
“This guy,” I say. “His name’s Rue. He found me at the club about a week ago and needs help.”
“What kind of help?” Colson asks.
“I’m pretty sure he’s been kidnapped.”
Colson makes a face. “Shit. Really?”
“Yeah. I managed to install a tracking app on his phone, but he’s been hard to find.”
“What can we do to help?” Specter asks.
“Nothing yet. I don’t think I’ll have any trouble handling the asshole holding him captive. He’s a low-life nothing.”
“Okay, but we’re here for you if you need us.”
“I know. Thanks, man.”
Colson is perched on Specter’s lap, braiding a section of his hair. The two of them are so in love that I actually smile every time I see them together. Colson calms Specter, and that’s nice to see. Could I ever have someone like that in my life? Do I even want that? I mentally shrug at my thoughts. Fuck if I’d know what to do with love.
