your body, right?”
“Don’t threaten me, you little whore. I’d planned to auction off a virgin. Instead, I get someone who can’t keep their legs closed. Letting him fuck you outside was really stupid, Lyssa. One of my men got it all on video. It’s amazing what technology can do these days. He didn’t even have to be close to the house. The only upside is that I have a buyer who’s more than eager to have a woman like you under him. Well, under him and all his men.”
My stomach soured and bile rose in my throat. He’d had someone watch me? And they’d not only taken a video, but apparently it had been shared too. What the fuck? When Beast found out, he’d blow a gasket. I remembered that day. I’d gone outside with Beast to tell him my ideas for the yard when the weather warmed. One thing had led to another and… Well, I hadn’t had a chance to tell him my plans. He’d sidetracked me.
“I’m not coming out there, Tony.”
“All right. Then I guess I’ll just have someone snatch your little sister on her way home from school. Should be easy enough, and I have plenty of men who like pretty young girls.”
“You’re a sick, twisted bastard! Leave Portia alone.”
“Then come outside the gates, Lyssa. I won’t ask again. You have five minutes, then the deal is off.”
Five minutes? That might be enough time to get a message to Beast. Even still, the second I approached the gates, whoever was standing guard wouldn’t let me through. Unless I knocked him out like I had with Ranger. I really didn’t want to. It wasn’t like Tony was giving me much of a choice. It was either go to him, or risk Portia being grabbed.
“Lyssa, the clock is ticking, and don’t even think of warning anyone. I’ll find out, and then you and your sister will pay the price.”
I looked around, realizing the only window in the kitchen faced the back property. There was no way anyone was watching from there. I grabbed the pad from the kitchen drawer and a pen, quickly scribbled a note to Beast, then walked out of the house to face my fate. Taking a deep breath, I approached the gate on foot. The Prospect standing guard was Logan, and I knew damn well he’d never let me leave without permission from his Pres. Damnit.
“I don’t have time to explain, but I need you to open the gate,” I said.
“Beast know you’re leaving?”
“Logan, I really don’t want to hurt you, but I need to leave right now. Like, right this very second. Please. Open the gate.”
He stood a little straighter, his lips firming into a tight line. “That sick fuck contacted you, didn’t he? Is that it? He demanded you leave and go to him?”
“Logan, please,” I said softly. “He’ll hurt my little sister.”
He leaned down, dropping his voice to a soft whisper. “You have ten seconds, then I’m alerting Beast, Hawk, and Forge.”
He stepped back and opened the gate, watching me as I walked through. The second I’d cleared the entry, Logan shut the gate and stepped into the little guard booth. I didn’t dare look at him again, but I hoped he was staying true to his word and alerting the club officers. It was stupid to come out here, to hand myself over to Tony, even if he did claim to have a way to grab Portia. Regardless, I wasn’t about to put my little sister at risk.
“I’m here,” I yelled out. “Come get me, you sorry rat bastard.”
“Not until you come closer,” someone yelled back. It sounded like Tony, but I couldn’t be sure. I walked a little farther down the driveway, scanning the area around me.
Tony stepped out of the wooded area, two men flanking him. I recognized them as the ones who’d come with him before, when he’d chased me to the Reckless Kings. I tipped my chin up and stared down my nose at them. They might have coaxed me out here, even if I knew it was a dumb move, but it didn’t mean I would go down without a fight.
Tony tossed a pair of handcuffs at my feet. “Put them on.”
“You want me to handcuff myself? I’m not that bendy. One wrist sure. Both? Not happening. Sorry. You’ll have to get closer.” I smirked, trying to appear far braver than I felt. I’d come here for a reason. I’d been worried Tony was trouble
