Page 45 of Sin and Deception

"Most likely," Theo replied with a smirk. "But we'll find a way to make her pay for it."

My breath caught in my throat as the tension between us shifted from playful banter to something more serious. These men were dangerous in every sense of the word.

How could they expect me to have a normal conversation with them when they kept swinging between teasing and threatening?

"Where... Where are we going?"

Theo's eyes met mine with a calm intensity as he sat beside me. "We're headed to Los Angeles first, Angel," he explained. "Then, we'll switch jets and fly to Arizona. Just to be safe."

While their presence comforted me, it also unsettled me. They exuded power and control, making it difficult for me to think clearly.

"I suppose that's why you're the security expert," I said, trying to lighten the mood. "You think of everything." I gazed out the window as I attempted to rapidly process everythingthat had happened over the last twenty-four hours. I never expected Theo and Xander to find me. I didn’t think I could hold my boys so soon or introduce them to their fathers.

"Thank you," I finally managed to say, breaking the tense silence. Yet my words felt weak and inadequate against the overwhelming emotions swirling inside me.

"Our job is to protect you, Angel," Xander said from across the aisle. His deep voice sent shivers down my spine.

I knew they would do whatever it took to keep me safe and out of harm's way.

"Thank you," I said softly, taking a deep breath to calm my racing heart and clear my mind.

As much as I wanted to escape their intense presence and think clearly, there was no avoiding them on this private jet. Their auras suffocated me, making it impossible to focus on anything else.

"I'm going to lie down," I declared, rising from my seat. "Is there a cabin or somewhere quiet where I can rest?"

But before I could take another step, Theo barked at me, startling me into freezing in place.

"Sit back down!" he commanded firmly.

"But I'm exhausted," I protested weakly.

"You slept like a baby earlier," Xander reminded me with a smirk.

I felt myself blush even harder at the memory of just how well I had slept, thanks to them practically fucking me unconscious. The memory of their hands gliding over every inch of my body, their mouths eagerly exploring mine, their hard cocks thrusting inside me. It all flooded mymind, sending shivers down my spine and making my heart race.

Xander's gaze locked onto mine, and I knew he remembered it. His eyes deepened with desire, and his breathing grew more ragged as he absorbed the sight of my hardened nipples straining against the fabric of my sweatshirt.

With a heavy sigh, I sat down, aware they wouldn't let me leave until I provided more information.

"Fine," I conceded reluctantly, crossing my arms defensively over my chest.

"Now, tell us everything you left out of your 'little confession' earlier, Angel," Theo demanded sternly. "And while you're at it, explain why you thought it was a good idea to stay away from home for so long without even a single phone call."

Xander crossed his arms over his broad chest, nodding firmly. "Yeah, I want to know that too."

"And how could you possibly think it was wise to give birth without us?" Theo continued. "What if something had gone wrong?"

"You're not doctors. What could you have done?" I snapped defensively.

"Careful, Angel," Theo warned in a low voice, brimming with anger.

My gaze flickered between them, searching their eyes for any trace of the love we once shared. Tears filled my eyes as I struggled to find it, spilling down my cheeks.

"You said you still loved me. Was I mistaken?" I asked through sobs.

They exchanged a look before turning back to me with sorrowful eyes.

"You betrayed us, Angel," Theo's voice was heavy with hurt.
