Maybe Riggs.

“Jax.” Devon’s voice comes from next to me, and I slowly turn my heavy head to find his dark concerned eyes close.

So close.

“Devil,” I whisper, trying to grin.

“Little mouse, did he touch you inappropriately?”

I think I frown as I process his words, their meaning taking a little longer than they should to make sense, but when they do, I try to shake my head.

“Not yet,” I slur. “Not since last time.”

Devon growls.

“The other one did,” I slur. “Man. Nurse.” I sway on the chair, and Devon’s big strong hands grip my arms to keep me in place.

“The male nurse touched you?”

“Said it was to help me peeee.” I drag the word out longer than I should. “That’s yoursss to touch. Nottt his,” I slur, and Devon releases me, lurching up with a roar.

I feel like I’m falling, but another set of strong hands grip me from behind, and I lull my head back to see Finn.

“You’re upside downnn again.” I think I giggle, I can’t be sure.

“I got you.” He shoots me a wink, and for some reason it makes me want to cry.

Not that these stupid drugs will let me.

No. They keep me numb. Pliable.

If I could have a big brother, I want it to be Finn.

“Jax.” Devon’s hands cup my face, redirecting my head back down. “Was this the man that took your virginity?”

“Yesss,” I admit, kind of thankful for the drugs numbing my emotions right now since I’m pretty sure there are a number of men behind me, and I would normally be embarrassed to admit that shame.

“Did you consent?” he asks through gritted teeth, and I try to shake my head, but it makes me dizzy.

“Couldn’t speak. Couldn’t move. Couldn’t do anything,” I admit.

“He drugged you back then?”

“Yesss.”

That’s all Devon needs before he stands, turns with his gun raised, and pulls the trigger.

The moment Dr Xavier topples sideways, his stunned expression forever on his face, it’s like my body finally relaxes. Finally knows it’s no longer in danger, and I start to slide off the chair as everything fades.

The last thing I notice is strong arms scooping me up, and the devil’s voice whispering in my ear.

“It’s okay, little mouse. I’ve got you.”

Chapter twenty-six

Devon

Wringing my hands together, I can’t take my eyes off Jaxcen as she sleeps, completely passed out from whatever drugs that fuckwit forced into her system. Finn and Mabel helped me get her into bed when we arrived back at the Palace, Finn forcing me to shower while he watched over her.
