I handed Davian’s phone over to West so he could look at the screen and pass it around the table. This was so crazy. When Davian’s cell came back to him, I asked the question running across everyone’s mind. “What does Levi have to do with the letter you got two months ago, Davian? Who is the other person who died and who are the remaining ten?”
“I’m not sure how Levi fits into this, but I am going to find out. He is the only person in this circle that makes little sense. There are 10 members ofThe Society,including myself. Sean was the first to lose his life. West has only been with us for a week, so we can count him out. The only two left that would make any sense are Reyna and Kenzi. All I’m saying is that we all need to watch each other’s backs. McCall is unstable, and there is no telling what steps he will take to get what he wants.”
It was true. Losing Sean was one of the hardest days of my life. I wanted Salko and McCall to pay for what they did more than any of the other guys. Salko is dead, but McCall is still breathing. He had to be responsible for Levi’s death. We just had to prove it.

At 1 a.m., we finally left the computer room with no more information than what Davian had shared. I was exhausted, and all I wanted was to snuggle against Kenzi’s soft body. When I carefully opened the door to the bedroom, the light behind me was just enough to see an empty bed. I closed the door and noticed light coming from the bottom of the bathroom door. Kenzi opened the door and looked up at me. I was exhausted, but just seeing her made my dick swell. I walked over to where she stood and pulled her close. As she continued to look at me—her eyes filled with desire—I pressed her back against the wall and held her there as gently as I could. Placing my lips over hers, I threaded my fingers through her tossed hair. Her lips were soft and perfect against mine. I wanted to dive in and consume every inch of her gorgeous mouth, but instead, I took my time.
My desire to take her was unbearable and I no longer had the strength to hold back. As I slipped my tongue past her lips, a soft moan vibrated against my lips. Kenzi slid her hands up my chest and tightened them around my neck. I felt her press her body against mine as I pulled her closer. Our bodies were as one, with not a centimeter between us.
There was no room for words as our kiss went on—our mouths locked together, colliding and intertwining with each other. The kiss was unbroken, cutting off words as if they didn't matter. Our lips slammed together as I realized there was no light between us. Kenzi pushed her hips into me, rubbing me and sending a shock of pleasure through my jeans. I was already fully erect for her as I adjusted my position and slid my thigh between her legs. She lifted her leg from the floor and began rubbing it against my outer thigh with a soft moan on her lips. My cock throbbed in response to her touch and the promise of what was to come. I bent down to kiss her neck, pressing hot kisses along the curve of her throat. Her scent was intoxicating, and I inhaled deeply. Her flesh was warm beneath my lips, soft as silk. I slid my hand beneath her nightgown, desperate to feel the heat and wetness that she offered between her legs. The hem of her gown moved up her leg with the motion and made it easy to slide my hand beneath it. Her skin was hot against mine, sending a bolt of pure lust down my spine. Kenzi swayed her hips against my fully erect cock. With her skin exposed, I ran my hand along the silky softness of her leg. I slid my hand beneath her nightgown, desperate to feel the heat and wetness of her arousal. We were on the edge of the cliff; I needed to feel her wetness, and all I wanted was to sink deep inside her.
“Are you sure you want this?” I asked, hoping the answer would satisfy the painful erection throbbing against my jeans.
“Don’t you?” she asked, looking up at me with confusion draped across her face.
I pressed my cock against her. “What do you think?” I replied. “I’ve wanted to strip you out of that nightgown ever since I saw you in it. Touching and kissing every inch of you is all I’ve thought about since we arrived at the warehouse.”
I nuzzled my cheek against hers and then captured her lips with mine. The kiss was slow and deep. I drew back slightly and sucked on her bottom lip. Lifting her from the floor, I felt her legs wrap around my waist as I carried her over to the bed. Only the light from the bathroom lit the room, but it was just enough to see her taut nipples through the thin material of her nightgown.
Kenzi tugged my shirt up over my head as our connection heated. Her nightgown was the next to go as I pulled it off and let it fall to the floor. “God, I need to feel you so bad,” I whispered as I trailed kiss after kiss along her neck.
“I need to feel you too,” Kenzi moaned as she worked the zipper on my jeans and pushed them down my legs.
I could no longer hold back as I placed my index finger under the lace of her thong and twisted it until it tore. God, I hoped this wasn’t her favorite pair. As long as I was deep inside her, until eternity, I would buy her 1,000 more in every color of the rainbow.

Axe’s body against my skin felt like home. I could feel every breath he took, and I could smell the scent of his hair and skin. Everything that had taken place in the last 24 hours became nonexistent. It was as though the only two people that mattered were me and him. I opened up for him as he positioned his body between my legs. His mouth was on mine—kissing me slowly as he gently pushed deep inside me.
His heat warmed me, and I was eager for him to touch every part of me. I opened my legs to him as he positioned his body between them. As he pressed against me, all I wanted was to have him inside me. He kissed my mouth, his tongue forcing itself into my throat and heating up with every stroke. I opened my mouth and grabbed his hair, pulling his head back and moving it down to my neck. His hands were all over my body, squeezing and grabbing, rolling over my nipples before finally landing on my thighs. He massaged the muscles there before grabbing a hard hold of them, making me groan with relief.
My head was spinning with desire as he moved downward, trailing hot little pecks down my chest and stomach until he was on his knees between my legs. I lifted my head and looked down at him. Wanting him, I grabbed his hair as he wrapped his lips around me, sucking lightly on the sensitive nub that had been begging for attention all day. Each time he pulled away to breathe, I could feel the sensation rippling through me. I placed one hand on the back of his head while pushing harder against him with a wave of pleasure. This feeling didn’t stop; it only got bigger until it felt like I had been inflated like a balloon before the air was let out of me in an unrecoverable way.
Before I could take a breath, he moved up my body, leaving kiss after kiss in his wake. He slowly positioned himself at my entrance and the sound of his hips slapping against mine echoed through the bedroom. It was as though the only two people that mattered were him and me. All that had taken place in the last 24 hours became nonexistent. It was just me and him and the way our bodies moved together. He grabbed me tighter, then pushed deeper inside me with a force that made my head spin. I wrapped my legs around him and pulled him closer. His mouth was on mine—kissing me slowly as he gently pushed deep inside me. Hollow gasps escaped my throat as he filled me completely. I wanted this moment to last forever, but I could no longer hold back my release. The earth crumbled beneath me, and in a singularity encapsulated bubble of pure ecstasy, my body shattered. It was heaven.

Axe was still adamant about not letting me go to the hospital. Not to see my mom, but to see River. Axe and River were completely the opposite of each other. Even though they were brothers, they were nothing alike. Thankfully, Davian convinced him that allowing me to see River would give not only me but also Axe peace of mind. Axe and River’s relationship was pretty much nonexistent and only extended to the fact that both of them would go to any lengths to protect me.
I gave my hair a quick brush-though before leaving the bedroom. The clothes that Axe had retrieved from the SUV were extremely wrinkled from remaining in my suitcase for two days. I should have requested he bring my suitcase up when I first woke up from the drug River had knocked me out with, but I had no energy to do anything except stay in bed with Axe holding me. The jeans and light sweater I pulled out were about the only pieces of clothing that survived without getting wrinkled.
Knowing I wouldn’t have a chance in hell to look any better than I did, I gave up and headed down the stairs. Three sets of eyes were on me when I hit the bottom of the steps—Axe’s, Patton’s, and Calvin’s. The three of them were the men I trusted the most to make sure nothing happened to me. Having the three of them escort me to the hospital was a little overboard. But it was part of the deal if I wanted to see my mom.
We got inside the SUV with Patton driving, Calvin in the passenger seat, and Axe and I in the back seat. As we drove through the city, Axe handed me a ball cap and a pair of aviator glasses. I took them from his hand and gave him an annoyed look. “Serious?”
“Absolutely. If you want to see your mom, it will be on my terms. I don’t want anyone to know who is behind those sunglasses and hat. Be sure to tuck all your hair underneath the cap.”
I rolled my eyes and did as he said. With his help, we tucked all of my hair under the cap. Since I didn’t have a mirror on me and the review mirror was angled wrong, I had to go by Axe’s confirmation that I looked good. The sunglasses were too big for my head, and I had a feeling they made me look like a bumblebee. Again, I had to trust Axe that they looked okay on me.
Fifteen minutes later, Patton pulled the SUV in front of the main entrance to the hospital. Calvin was the first one out of the vehicle, with Axe and me close behind. I felt ridiculous in the getup Axe had brought for me, but as long as it pleased him and I got to see my mom, it was worth it.
All three of us entered through the revolving door and headed toward the elevator. I could tell Axe and Calvin were doing a quick scan of the lobby by the way they looked around. My focus was only on getting to my mom’s room. Once I knew she was doing okay, I would take a few minutes to check on River. I wasn’t even sure what I would say to him. Things between us didn’t end so well.
I stepped into the elevator when the door opened. Axe and Calvin were by my side, making me feel safe. The second the door closed, I could feel my chest tighten, and I found it hard to breathe. Axe saw I was struggling to breathe and turned my body to face him. “Easy breaths, baby. In and out, in and out.”
