Chapter Six

Taylor hissed then clenched his teeth from the heat of the slice across his forearm.

Oh God that hurt so much, and it was deep. The blood that came from the cut was a shade of red so dark he hadn’t known it existed.

But it was there, and he was in so much pain.

At least it was better to have his arm slashed than his face. He’d been lucky. The man he’d jumped hadn’t taken a liking to that, and he’d fought back hard.

Taylor thought he could do something cool and brave, like choke him until the man passed out, but that was definitely not about to happen when Taylor was just an omega and the attacker was taller and stronger.

He was basically a hundred and sixty pounds going up against two hundred and forty of nothing but muscle.

He was lucky Jimmy had been there to drag the man off of him after the man in black threw Taylor to the ground.

If anything, Taylor’s act had been enough of a distraction that Jimmy could fight off the other two men, killing one of them and then taking care of the other by knocking him out before Taylor could get hurt.

More hurt than he already was.

Jimmy took Taylor by his wrist, angling his arm and examining the wound. He turned his eyes up to Taylor, and Taylor was struck with the strangeness of finally being able to look at the man’s face. Taylor had seen his eyes before, but he hadn’t seen his features until now, thanks to the mask he constantly wore.

His face was scarred. Badly in some places, but beneath that, Taylor could make out the visage of what had once been a handsome man.

Before the scarring.

“Why did you do that?”

Taylor swallowed hard, his fox ears folded back against his head.

“If they’d killed you, they probably would have killed me.”

That was definitely why he’d done it. What other reason did he need?

Except he felt as if there should have been another reason. Something he couldn’t quite see because he was too busy shielding himself from this man.

Taylor cleared his throat. “Thank you for saving me, Jimmy.”

God, even saying the man’s name sounded strange.

“Don’t call me that,” Jimmy snapped.

Taylor couldn’t stop himself from feeling a little annoyed by that. He’d helped to save Jimmy’s life, and sure, he might have only wanted to use the name to humanize himself in the eyes of this man, in the hopes he would let Taylor go, but still!

Couldn’t he give Taylor a small break?

“Fine, whatever,” Taylor muttered.

Jimmy’s cold black eyes flashed, looking a touch more lively in that moment. “My name is James. I don’t like being called Jimmy.”

Taylor blinked, not catching that right away, and maybe it was even a trick.

No. It couldn’t be. Well, it could be, but he didn’t think it was. Jimmy, no, James looked seriously at Taylor, as though waiting to hear what he had to say now.

Taylor cleared his throat. “Okay, James. It’s nice to meet you.”

“You, too,” James said, pulling out a knife.
