Chapter Eight

“Why you faker!” Why Layla was shocked at his possum play, she couldn’t have said. She’d thought it odd a big, strong guy like him succumbed so thoroughly to the zapping collars. She just assumed it affected shifters differently or that they had him on a higher voltage.

“Fake? Who me?” Brody attempted an innocent look.

As if it worked. She doubted he’d managed wide eyed innocence in years, if not decades.

“You can cut the puppy eyes. It won’t work.”

“What if I jutted my lower lip and batted my lashes?”

She snickered. “That’s just wrong.”

He grinned. “Fine. So I played possum.”

Wet strands of hair swung as Layla shook her head. “They’re going to catch on. Or had you forgotten the camera in here?”

“I didn’t forget, but I did notice on the way in that the lens got webbed while we showered.”

He’d noticed? She’d actually given the mental order to her eight-legged minion before they left the cell. Given master’s interest in her and Brody, she thought it best if he not have the ability to spy at all because, despite herself, she was interested in the wolf, and she knew their conversations, while often argumentative in nature, were stimulating. Too stimulating.

“They can still see a bit.”

“Which is why I faked being passed out even after they dumped me in here.”

“You’re playing a dangerous game.”

“The best kind, sweetheart. But don’t worry. We’ll be long gone before those idiots figure it out.”

“Oh really? And exactly how do you plan to manage that?”

“Are you ready to be impressed with my excellent strategy?”

“No, more like looking forward to poking holes in it.”

He clutched his chest. “You wound me. But it’s okay. I’ll live. Here’s the plan. We leave tomorrow morning when they bring breakfast. I was going to tell you to gum the camera with your little spider buddy overnight, but you’ve already taken care of that. Although it wouldn’t hurt to maybe add an extra layer. When the guards come in the morning and give me my morning jolt of electricity, I’ll fake my little jiggle. Then, when they open the cage, I’ll rush them and knock them out.”

“Wouldn’t it be more prudent to kill them so they don’t come after us?”

A grin stretched his lips. “A lady after my own heart. Yes, it would be more prudent, but I thought if I told you that part of the plan you’d go all girly on me. I was sparing your delicate sensibilities.”

Ah, how sweet. He’d used the word delicate in reference to her. It made her next words all the more ironic. “They’d hurt or kill me in an instant if ordered. So I say, twist their necks or rip out their hearts, or whatever it is you Lycans do.”

“Thank you, I think.”

“Don’t thank me yet because, even if you kill them, I don’t see how you plan to escape.” She played Devil’s advocate. “Let’s say you make it out of this cage and then upstairs. You still can’t get out. The doorways will still trigger your collar.
