from being stolen, each of them the height of a man.
Sin guided me into a darker corner that was lit only by the low yellow glow of the Sunstone Crystal in the wall.
“Rosa needs some of this,” Sin breathed, glancing over at the camera pointed our way up on the wall. There was no sound on the feed, but stealing from this place was all but fucking impossible with the ever watching eyes of the guards anyway. So whatever plan he might have come up with wasn’t gonna work.
I scoffed. “Good luck with that. I’m not going to the hole for trying to get something out of here. They pat down everyone the second they leave.”
“Yup,” Sin agreed. “They sure do.” He reached out, brushing his hands over the crystal on the wall. He suddenly slammed me against it and his mouth landed on mine as he crushed me in place. I was so in shocked that it took me a couple of seconds to react before I shoved him back and threw a punch into his gut.
“What the fuck?!” I snarled as he smirked and my gaze was drawn to the piece of crystal he’d broken off in his hand, twirling it between his fingers beside his leg out of sight of the camera.
“Great,” I said hollowly. “Enjoy getting that out of here.”
“You need to put it up your butt,” he said in a low and serious tone.
“No,” I balked, but he just nodded firmly.
“They’ll strip search me, they always do. It has to be you, kitten,” he said simply.
“I’m not doing it,” I snarled.
“Rosalie needs our help, don’t you wanna help your mate?” he whispered and I glanced around, though luckily no one else was in this section of the Fate Room. But that didn’t mean he could risk saying that shit out loud.
“Shut up,” I growled.
“She needs us, baby cakes,” he said. “I’ll help you do it, I’ll be real gentle. I’ve got a lot of experience with matters of the ass.”
“No,” I snapped. “Apart from anything else, there’s a camera pointed right at us.”
“I’m aware.” Sin smiled broadly, flashing me teeth and I scowled. “You’re really not gonna help her?”
I clenched my jaw, hating myself for the temptation I felt to bring a smile to Rosalie’s lips. It would sure as shit help cut the tension between us too. Maybe she’d even forgive me for Harper…
I was still mad over her comments about sleeping with the Lion, but I could straighten that shit out. Besides, my mate bond didn’t let me fuck anyone else, she sure as hell wasn’t fucking Roary Night even if she was sharing a bed with him. Logic told me that and maybe it was time I started believing it.
Balls, I’m really gonna do this, aren’t I?
“Fine, give it here.” I moved closer to try and subtly take it from him, but he shook his head.
“There’s only one way this is going to go unnoticed.” He reached up to trail his fingers along my jaw and I frowned at him before he snatched a fistful of my hair and drove his mouth against mine again. I punched him, trying to fight him off, but he managed to turn me around and push me up against the wall, grabbing hold of my jumpsuit which was tied around my waist.
“Motherfucker!” I growled.
“Just count to ten and fantasise about your mate, it’ll be over in no time,” Sin laughed and I swung around, fighting him back with furious punches which he took, only laughing harder even when his lip started bleeding.
He started wrestling me and I growled as he knocked my legs out from under me and dropped over me on the floor, his mouth landing on my throat.
“Say my name, baby,” he taunted as I thrashed on my back, but he weighed a fucking ton. He lifted his hips and I threw another heavy punch at his kidney, making him grunt in pain as I twisted over onto my hands and knees to scramble out. Bad move. Shoulda known it.
He shoved his weight down on me again so my stomach hit the floor and then he did the unthinkable. He started fucking tickling me. And I was one ticklish bastard. I laughed, unable to help it as he tickled me until my sides hurt.
“Stop – mother -fucker,” I hissed, kicking back at him then realising he was trying to make this look like some fun little hook-up for the cameras. Asshole. “You are not
