ready to let Logan off the hook just yet.
“What if I only wanted to hold your hand?”
“Bah!”
“Bah?” Logan’s face was comical.
“Yes.” He tipped his chin up, letting the overprotective, sexy as all hell hunk know he wasn’t messing around. “I’m serious.”
“Me too.” Logan drew his hand to his heart and pressed it flat. “I’m so sorry.”
His smile grew, he couldn’t help it in the face of Logan’s genuine apology. It died though at the doctor’s next words.
“He’s fine.” The doctor turned to address Logan. “The graze wasn’t too deep.”
“Hello?” He snapped his fingers at the doctor. “Sitting right here.”
“Ah yes, sorry.” The man grimaced and finished placing gauze over the injury on his side. “Keep it clean to avoid infection. Here’s a prescription for antibiotics. Be careful you don’t rip the stitches. Try not to lift anything too heavy.” He handed him a packet with the precautions and directions.
Seriously, though, all he wanted was to leave this hospital and put Logan Cobalt’s cock deep inside of his body. Was that too heavy? He lifted his gaze from Logan’s crotch and found the man eyeing him with a half amused, half stern look. Macy laughed out loud.
Even the doctor laughed.
A flush started up Logan’s neck and Macy watched, fascinated when the pink filled the man’s cheeks.
“What?” he said innocently, widening his eyes.
Jett and Nathan entered the hospital room and one look at their faces had his blood running cold.
“What’s going on?” He snapped upright with a wince and slipped from the bed.
“US Marshal Flint Ashbridge was found dead in a California hotel room,” Jett said.
“We think Siegel had him killed when he was of no more use,” Nathan added, striding to the window and peeking through the slit in the blinds.
The door opened again and Wild slipped into the room with a bulletproof vest in his hand. “Wrap it up. Siegel’s men are entering the hospital.”
Logan had his gun out and the doctor’s eyes widened.
“I’m being hunted, doc,” Macy told the man. “Get into that bathroom there and don’t come out until we are gone. Call nine-one-one,” he advised.
Sliding as quickly as possible into his shirt and the bulletproof vest Wild held out, Macy paused to check the clip on his gun. He tucked the weapon into his waistband and glanced up to find Logan watching him with a light that was caught somewhere between pride and annoyance.
“If you think you’re keeping me tucked away…” he warned just in case.
“I wouldn’t dream of it.”
Damn right, he thought. It was his choice to either sit on that bed like a victim or take Siegel out once and for all.
The doctor opened the bathroom door and made a sound of surprise when Hayden came through it checking the clip on a nine millimeter.
“Jaxon and Brick are retrieving the SUV. They’ll meet us at the side entrance,” Hayden murmured, shutting the bathroom door and making sure the doctor was locked inside.
“We can’t have a shoot out here,” Nathan said. “What’s the plan?”
“We take it to somewhere of our choosing,” Macy growled.
Jett cackled, and it wasn’t with amusement, before he cracked his knuckles.
“Where might that be?” Logan placed a hand on his arm.
“We have a few places in Denver,” he told Logan.
“We can commandeer one of those places and setup,” Nathan added.
Jett checked his phone. “Alexander is waiting on us.”
“Sounds good. Let’s go,” Macy responded.
Logan opened his mouth and then closed it like a fish out of water and he knew that the man wanted him tucked somewhere safely away and not out fighting the bad guys.
He pulled until he and Logan were apart from the others, not far, but far enough to whisper.
“I know this is going to take some time, but you need to trust me,” he said, just to make sure Logan knew he wasn’t going to sit on the sidelines.
“I know,” Logan sighed and swallowed. “I’m trying, just know that I’m trying like hell.”
“I know.” He smoothed his fingertips over Logan’s jaw and then stood on his tiptoes to kiss the man’s lips. “Now, let’s go kick some ass.”
Logan made a snorting sound and Macy turned a bit too quickly and winced.
“Damn it,” he muttered and pressed a hand to his side before he straightened and stepped toward the door. He waited for Jett, Nathan, and Wild to take the lead and then he stepped through it with Logan at his side. Hayden brought up the rear.
To the hospital staff, it looked like a group of visitors leaving. To the bad
