“Screw you, asshole.” Jill cried out as a loud crash sounded in the room.
“I said leave her the fuck alone.” Adam felt a small give in the binding, his anger boiling way past the point of control.
“Then talk!” The deep gravelly voice demanded with force. “Because in two seconds, I’m going to enjoy this nice piece of ass before passing her along to my men.”
“Tell them, Adam.” Steve’s voice shook slightly. “We can’t let them do that to her.”
“I swear, Adam, if you say one word, I will kill you. I will hate you. I will hate you and then kill you!” Jill cried out, her voice strong, but rambling threats.
“I told you to shut up, bitch!” The sound of a slap echoed in the room.
“Is that all you got, you bastard. You can’t do anything to me that hasn’t already been done, so go to hell,” she shouted at her attacker, her voice strong without a hint of fear.
“Dammit, Jill.” Adam said under his breath, his mind reeling.
“Did you hear me, Adam?” Jill screamed; this time urgency was in her voice as the sound of ripping material echoed in the room. “They can’t hurt me anymore than I’ve already been hurt! Do not let them use me against you! Stay true to the VC!”
“Stay true to the VC?” The man laughed hysterically. “What the fuck does that even mean?”
“It means, you worthless piece-of-shit, that no matter what you do to me or my partners, we will never give in,” Jill spat the words at him.
“Well, we’ll see how you and your partners feel when every cock here is deep inside that tight little body, or better yet, we could bring in his other girl; the pretty blonde, Angelina I believe her name is, would just be a bonus—” His threat was cut short by the outraged roar that rattled through the room.
Adam broke the bond that held him immobile, striking out blindly as he flew from the chair. His rage knew no bounds, as past and present anger was unleashed. Voices shouted out warnings, but Adam was too far gone as he ripped the bag from over his face spotting the target standing over Jill. With one leap, he pulled back his arm striking out, hitting the man in the jaw and sending him across the room. Turning to confront the others, he lashed out, but stopped in shock as the Warriors who they were going to protect with their lives took him down, his sister’s lover the first to tackle him.
Chapter 17
Jill heard the commotion and cursed the damn thing on her head, preventing her from seeing. “Adam!” she screamed, knowing that whatever was happening was bad. Trying to break the bindings that had her wrists tied behind her, she struggled with everything she had. It cut into her wrists, but she didn’t care. All she cared about was getting free to help Adam and Steve. She could hear Steve yelling out a warning to Adam.
“Stop!” A familiar voice shouted above her as firm hands grabbed her shoulders. “I said stop!”
“Slade?” Jill felt relief, but something didn’t feel right. The canvas bag that had been placed over her head was pulled free and her arms were untied. Her eyes shot around the room, and shock blasted through her body. They were in the warehouse, and every Warrior but Slade was on Adam. Without thought, she shot off the floor flinging herself into the middle of chaos not knowing what the hell was going on.
“Son of a bitch!” Jared yelled from the pile. “Get her the fuck off me before she gets hurt!”
Slade snatched her around the waist, throwing her over his shoulder. She pushed herself up so she could see Adam; what she saw she couldn’t understand. Kicking her legs, she fought again to be released. Rearing her head back, she bared her fangs, and then immediately regretted it when Slade howled and her teeth hit nothing but hard muscles. The smack on her ass was hard.
“You little hellcat!” Slade roared smacking her ass one more time almost dropping her, but set her down on her feet.
“You need help with that.” The voice behind the man who threatened to rape her came from beside them.
“Shut the hell up, Jax!” Slade stopped Jill from running for Adam. Taking her face into his large hands, he made her focus on him. “They are not hurting him. They are trying to calm him down and get him under control.”
Jill didn’t understand what the hell was going on. Everything she thought she knew was in total shambles. She felt betrayed by the ones who she felt she could trust the most, and she was pissed beyond anything she had ever felt before. Pulling her face from his hands, she jerked her head to the side to look past him. Damon was taking the bag off Steve as Jared spoke to Adam, who lay flat on his back no longer struggling.
Turning back to Slade, she frowned. “What is going on?”
