shouts. “Where is she?”
I jump up from the bed and run out of my room, speeding down the hall and into the main club room. At the same time he barges through the door and spots me, running over to me and capturing me in his arms. As soon as I feel his body, absorb his body heat and hear his voice whispering into my ear, I finally relax and my emotions crash. My body shakes as tears stream down my face and Brandon squeezes me tight.
I didn’t realize he was carrying me away until he places my feet down on the floor and I notice we’re alone in his room.
“Fuck babe, I’ve never been so fucking scared!” He admits to me.
“He had a gun, Brandon.” I sob. “He held it to my head.”
Brandon’s arms tighten around me and I hear his heart beating loudly against his chest.
“I said I’d keep you safe.” He roars.
“This isn’t on you.” I look up at him. “Don’t blame yourself.”
“I blame my brothers.” He admits with fury.
“No!” I shout. “They helped me, if it wasn’t for Devlin I would have been raped on that floor.”
“What?” Brandon holds me back, looking me over.
“It’s true.” I nod. “I didn’t shout at them because Strike had a gun. I didn’t want anyone hurt but when he pushed me down to the floor and tried to strip me, Devlin ran in and saved me.”
“Fuck.” Brandon sighs.
I look at him in question and he shakes his head, silently asking me to leave it. I sink into him again, needing to feel him all over me.
We don’t get much time alone when there’s a knock on his door. Franky stands looking guilty for interrupting us and I spot Devlin standing behind him supporting a bloody and already bruised face. I stare wide eyed at Devlin and then back to Brandon. Now I understand why he didn’t want me to ask questions.
I quickly barge past Franky to Devlin and reach for his face. He grimaces a little but holds his ground. “I’m so sorry.” I whisper.
“It’s not on you.” He replies.
I glare back at Brandon, but when I see the guilt written all over his face, I forgive him right away. He was scared and wanted to put his anger somewhere. Unfortunately, that was Devlin’s face.
“Lauren, can we talk?” Franky asks.
“Sure.” I smile and follow him to his office.
There’s quite a few members already here and I feel exposed. Brandon places a reassuring hand on my lower back and guides me to the very same leather sofa I sat on when I first arrived here.
“Ok Lauren,” Franky begins after closing his office door behind him. “Is it ok to ask what happened?”
“Yeah,” I shakily reply.
Franky sits beside me, on the opposite side. “We just need the facts, to understand how he found you and where he might have gone.”
I don’t understand how my day’s details will help, but I tell him everything from my day of shopping, including the noise I heard in the changing room and when Spike found me. I tell him exactly what Spike had said to me and what he did, not leaving out when Devlin saved me and I look over to him appreciatively. He also gets a couple of well-done back slaps from Kings’ members who stand near him.
Franky nods when I’ve finished, thinking over what I’ve said. “Thanks, Lauren.” He smiles.
Brandon takes my hand and leads me out of the room. I feel a little awkward because the room is deadly quiet as we walk out but I’m thankful to be alone. He takes me back to my room where the girls are waiting for me and kisses me gently.
“You did amazing, I’ve got to head back but I’ll be back soon.” When I give him my answering nod, he leaves me to join his dad and discuss what I’ve said. I honestly don’t know what they’re going to get from what I’ve told them.
“How did it go?” Natasha asks me.
“As good as I thought.” I sit on my bed, and become very tired.
The girls take the hint and talk amongst themselves while I lie on my bed. The events from today have tired me out and it’s not long until my eyes start to become very heavy. I try to fight them, I want to be awake when Brandon comes back for me, but I just can’t fight my eyes any longer!
I lose the battle and blackness settles over me as I fall
