CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN

Holy shit.

Phoenix gaped in confused awe as Dean clutched his gushing throat, already choking on whatever it was that Callie had stabbed him with. In what looked like a practiced move, Callie stripped Dean of the pistol jammed into her throat. In the next blink, she reared back and repeatedly struck him in the nose with her elbow. Her victim rebounded off each strike until she finally rolled a dazed and hurting Dean off the metal bed. Despite her sky-high heels, she jackknifed to her feet gracefully, like a dancer.

No.

Like a fucking fighter.

What the hell? How does she know how to do any of this?

Callie slid the rack back, chambered a round, and disengaged the safety like a pro, making him further question everything he knew about the woman. Even though she performed each move as if she’d done it a million times before, she swayed on her feet. She was obviously exhausted, but there was something else that made him think it was more.

Her eyes finally met his, blinking as they tried to focus.

Shit, she wasn’t just tired. She was drugged. And fuck it all, if that look didn’t seem familiar. It was the same dazed stare he’d seen before in the room with all those men. She’d been under the influence of something then, and she was under the influence of something now. Not that he wasn’t impressed before, but the fact that she’d taken down a man weighing at least a hundred more pounds than her, while intoxicated, completely baffled him.

Who the fuck is this woman?

Her breasts heaved against the loose strings of her laced corset, as if they were trying to burst free. The view sent his already raging cock into overdrive.

Goddamn these meds.

They’d left him harder than the concrete floor beneath him and when she’d fallen into his arms, all the feelings—physical and emotional—swirled together, sending his lust into overdrive and surging to his length.

Their mutual enemy writhed on the floor, bleeding out and shouting nonsense. But Phoenix and Callie continued to stare at each other, both seemingly trying to figure out what was happening between them.

An enraged shriek broke their spell as Dean lunged for Callie with his free hand. Before Phoenix could think, he swung his chains around the man’s neck, jerking him to the ground. The links clanged as they wrapped together, pushing the pen lodged in Dean’s jugular even deeper. Phoenix felt his face spread wide into a crazed grin as Dean scratched at his throat, trying to free himself. But Phoenix twisted the links and wrenched them as tight as they would go, bending his former captor backward.

The choking sounds shouldn’t have turned him on more, and the way the helpless man’s limbs fought to stay alive made Phoenix’s spine tingle. When Callie straddled Dean’s wild legs, holding him still before jabbing the gun under their victim’s jaw, Phoenix realized he was desperate to fuck her.

And as he caught her heated gaze, he realized he wasn’t the only fucked-up one.
