“Keily!” I scream, and suddenly, everything goes silent.
There’s a scuffling sound behind the closed door, and Ben and Gavin snarl as they raise their guns along with everyone else. The doorknob half twists when Ben steps forward.
“Oy!” He roars, his eyes blazing. “Out! Right fucking now with those fucking hands up!”
There’s another pause, and then suddenly, a voice grunts out.
“Okay!”
The doorknob twists, the door swings slowly open, and I gasp as a naked, muscled, inked man holding his hands over his dick steps into the doorframe and grins.
“Don’t shoot my cock off, okay?”
Around me, every guy in the room suddenly groans and lowers their guns, and I blink in confusion.
“Hang on,what?” I hiss before Gavin chuckles and turns to me.
“This is Ash,” he growls.
I whirl back to the roguishly handsome guy with the cocky grin, dark hair, piercing blue eyes, and a body carved out of tattooed marble.
“What the fuck, brother?!” Eamon grunts. “You’ve been missing for fuckingweeks, and we find you here doing…” he glares at Ash. “Are you fucking murdering someone or getting lai—”
“Charlotte?”
A face suddenly appears behind Ash, peering over his shoulder, and both my eyes and hers go wide.
“Keily!”
My sister shoves past the naked Ash, a bedsheet wrapped around herself as we both rush across the room into each other. I sob as I fling my arms around her, and she does the same, hugging me tight and fiercely.
“What the fuckinghell, Keils?!” I suddenly spit almost angrily, pulling back to frown into her eyes. “You just disappeared!
“I—fuck, Charlotte, I’m so sorry!” She says softly, biting her lip. “I—I mean, we—”
“Andyou!” I snarl, whirling on Ash and jabbing a finger at him as I march over, teeth bared. “You think it’s fucking okay to justkidnappeople’s sisters and drag them off to—”
“Charlotte.”
Keily’s hand on my arm stops me, though I’m still fuming and simmering as I glance back at her. Past her, the rest of the people in the room are frowning same as me, trying to figure this out too.
“What the fuck is going on, Ash?” Ben growls lowly.
Keily shakes her head. “Charlotte, he didn’t kidnap me, we…” she bites her lip.
“We had to disappear,” Ash growls lowly.
Keily nods. “These guys, they were bothering me at work, a lot, and one night when I was closing up, they…”
She pales, and Ash steps forward, putting and arm around her.
“Russians,” he mutters at everyone. “Look, I had to step in, and when I put down four of theirs, I knew the shit was going to hit the fan. We managed to get away, but they were hot on our heels. I took Keily underground with me for protection.”
He frowns, turning to me.
“Charlotte, right?”
I nod.
