“You having a problem there?” she teased seductively, watching him carefully tuck himself away.
Grabbing a t-shirt, he pulled it on and down over his obvious hard-on. Pulling her toward him, he kissed her hard while running his hand over her breasts and down between her legs, driving her crazy. He then pulled away suddenly.
“The same problem you’re having.” He winked and then pulled away, but steadied her when she wobbled. Once she gained her balance, he laughed.
“That wasn’t very nice.” She glared at him and he knew she was trying not to smile.
“No, it wasn’t, but it was fun.” He took her hand in his, and then opened the door.
Steve stood, leaning against the wall looking at his phone. “Hey, Angelina.” He smiled then led the way down the hall.
“Hey, Steve.” She smiled back at him, a flush coloring her cheeks.
“Glad I knocked,” Steve whispered, tossing him a knowing wink.
“So am I.” Adam winked back, but without the grin. “Today is too great of a day to be killing someone.”
“Duly noted.” Steve nodded, looking relieved which made Adam smile. Damn, he was one lucky bastard.
Chapter 20
Adam slowed once they made it to the games room. Everyone was there. Instinctively, he knew this wasn’t good. Sloan stood to the side. His face, usually emotionless, was a mask of fury. Pulling Angelina beside him, he stopped next to Jill.
“What’s going on?” he whispered toward her, his eyes on the Warriors who looked ready; he just was not quite sure ready for what exactly. Everyone stood around looking on edge. The women were whispering together nervously while the Warriors stood with no expressions whatsoever, which was never a good thing. No emotion meant shit was about to get real.
“You know as much as I do,” she responded, also searching the Warriors for a clue. “Slade got a phone call and we took off.”
Sloan pinned each and every person in the room with narrowed eyes as if silently counting. “I sent Jax to the Mayor’s office to see if he could get information about this bullshit he’s trying to pull.” Sloan pinched the bridge of his nose. “It looks like that bullshit has become reality. Jax is waiting for us.”
Sloan tossed Damon a set of keys as the rest of the Warriors kissed their mates. Adam looked down at Angelina, who squeezed his hand before letting go.
“The women will go with Damon and the rest of us will ride.” Sloan ordered before heading toward the door.
“Ride what?” Steve whispered to Adam, who just shrugged.
“The women?” Jared stopped in midstride glancing back at Sloan, who had just made it to the door.
“That’s what I said.” Sloan looked around. “Is there a problem with that?”
“Yeah, there is,” Duncan spoke up. “I’m not taking my son or mate into something I don’t know anything about.”
“I agree with Duncan.” Jared nodded, and then looked at Sid and Damon who were also nodding with agreement.
Sloan sighed. “I didn’t want to alarm anyone until I saw it with my own eyes, but Jax is waiting for us at the location they are taking and keeping half-breeds.”
Since the Warriors didn’t keep much from their mates, no one was shocked at the news.
“I want to go.” Pam held Daniel close. “I’m a half-breed and this involves me.”
Nicole and Tessa followed Pam’s lead, also wanting to see what was going on. “We’ll be fine.” Nicole looked toward Damon. “I want to go.”
“As do I,” Tessa told Jared.
Each Warrior looked at each other with a silent message before walking out of the room. Knowing there was nothing they could do to stop their mates from going—other than tying them up—they made their safety top priority.
Adam followed everyone out of the compound, his arm wrapped tight around Angelina. “You okay?”
“Fine,” she responded and looked up at him. “A little surprised I’m being included.”
“Get used to it because you are a part of this crazy family now.” They waited until they got Daniel settled into his car seat, and the women piled in. He helped Angelina into the van where she sat next to his sister. Then with a wink, he closed the door and headed for Jill and Steve.
“I feel like the last one picked for kickball,” Steve grumbled as they stood around alone. The women and Damon were in the van. The other Warriors headed for their bikes, and they stood like losers wondering how they were going to get to the party.
The sound of bikes echoed. Sid was the first to appear. Stopping, he nodded toward Steve. “Get on.” Steve did as ordered, not knowing where to place his hands. “Don’t grab my balls,” Sid growled the warning.
