Kicking, flailing, biting, and scratching, Braxton fought like a demon to get free of his captors. They were almost to the rusted pickup that had run him off the road, and if they managed to get him inside, he highly doubted he’d ever see the light of day again.

The goblin holding him grunted and stumbled when Braxton’s heel connected solidly with his shin. Taking advantage of the loosened grip around his midsection, he contorted his body and jerked his elbow back, wincing when it smashed into his attacker’s nose. He found solace in the fact that it had probably hurt the asshole behind him much more than it had his elbow.

Growling in clear frustration, the goblin dropped him to his feet, spun him around by his shoulder, and backhanded him right across the cheek. It hurt like the seven shades of hell, but Braxton remained on his feet, letting the pain fuel his anger.

A horrifying screech ripped through the night, and both goblins looked as though they’d piss themselves. “Get him in the truck,” the larger of the two ordered in a loud, panicked whisper as he flung open the passenger door.

“Move your fucking ass.” Blood ran down the fucker’s face, and Braxton couldn’t stop the smirk that curled one side of his lips.

“No.”

A fist descended toward his throbbing cheek, but Braxton was ready for it this time. Dropping to the ground, he lunged forward into the goblin’s legs, using the idiot’s own momentum to topple him. Being the smart man he was, he didn’t stick around to see the results. Tucking his arms against his sides, he propelled himself across the parking lot, pumping his legs as fast as they would move.

An enormous white tiger sailed over the hood of a car directly in front of him, and Braxton shrieked like a little girl as he dropped to his hands and knees to avoid a collision. Logically, he’d know Xander was coming for him, but it wasn’t every day that a guy had seven hundred pounds of snarling, pissed-off cat come flying at his face.

“Fuck!” one of the goblins shouted. “Go, go, go!”

An engine revved, tires squealed against the asphalt, and the truck swerved as it peeled out of the parking lot. For a moment, Braxton thought Xander was actually going to chase after it like a stray dog, but he slowed to a stop when he reached the main road, jerked around, and trotted back to Braxton’s side.

“Are you okay? Let me see. Lift your head.”

The adrenaline from the fight was beginning to ebb, and Braxton was barely hanging on to his composure. His hands trembled, his muscles quivered, and his abused cheek ached like a bitch. Throwing his arms around Xander’s neck, he buried his face in his lover’s soft fur and breathed deeply through his nose.

“I’m okay. I’m okay.” He kept repeating the words, unsure if he was trying to convince himself or Xander. “They just came out of nowhere.”

A rumbling purr vibrated in his ears as the cat nuzzled against his shoulder.
