Eden
Survival tip #245
Find the biggest predator you can.
Then hide behind them.
âOh, shit,â I swear. All thoughts of their silly rules, and my place here, and being kept like a stray dog vanish in a crash of terror.
Lucky peeks his head from the kitchen just as Dom rounds the top corridor, livid. In seconds, heâs rushed down the stairs and is stalking for the kitchen.
I should be moving. I shouldnât be here. But my head feels light. Floaty.
Am I going to faint?
I might faint.
The rest of Lucky pops through the door, with a huge, shit-eating grin on his face.
Dom grabs the front of his shirt, shoves the smaller man against the wall, and crowds him with every broad-shouldered inch he has. âGive it back now, Lucky, and I wonât take your head off. We had a deal.â
I lift half out of my seat, debating whether I should rush in and stop Dom again or just let Lucky get the ass kicking he probably deserves. My hands twist into a white-knuckled knot in front of me.
Beau looks over at the scene, leaning back in his chair to watch, seemingly entertained. Lucky is still grinning, that damnable dimple of his winking like a bad joke. I dart a look at Beau, like he might help, and he glances back, giving me a curious once-over. I can practically see him putting the pieces together.
Lucky clears his throat. âTechnically the deal was that I couldnât take it from your room.â
That catches my attention. A low, sick moan escapes me, and Beauâs brows shoot up in surprise. I need to go.
Now.
Dom freezes, then his head turns until he looks at me. Like something out of a horror movie, I wonder if it will keep spinning.
âYou stole the bazooka from my room?â
I back up a step, releasing a gust of nervous air. âIâ Well, Iââ
Beau rubs a hand over his lips, not quite able to stop his stunned amusement from showing.
My eyes shoot back to Dom as his expression darkens. He releases Lucky and steps toward me, his face set in narrow-eyed disbelief. Dangerous intent lines his muscles.
âYou went into my room.â Step. âWithout permission.â Step. âRifled through my closet.â Step. âAnd stole from me?â
Panic. PANIC. Damn it, why canât I move? Iâm frozen still; someoneâs dipped me in ice.
âIâ It was a bet. I had to. I lost, and I had to do a dare, and I didnât have a choice, and Iââ
Domâs brows lower. It isnât a pleasant expression. âInteresting that youâre more afraid of Lucky.â Step. âThan me.â
Heâs close now, and Iâm quivering. For the first time in years, I start praying under my breath. My legs need to start working. Yesterday.
God, heâs huge. Was he always this big?
Dom tenses, and I see the moment he decides to pounce.
Lucky must too, because he yells, âRun, Eden!â
Dom lunges andâfinallyâstartled into movement, I twist away with a shriek. As I try to flee, though, I slam into Beauâs chest. With blatant enjoyment, he grasps my upper arms, and I give him a terrified, wide-eyed look.
