Jared (The Protectors #2)(72)
Okay, this guy was crazy and that scared Tessa more than anything. “Let her go and I’ll do whatever you want.” Her voice was muffled against his chest.
He sighed gripping her hair in a brutal grip pulling her head back. “You’ll do whatever I want anyway.” He took her arm and led her to the pool table. Lifting her up he slammed her down on the edge, spread her legs and stepped between them. “Oh yeah, this will do quite nicely.”
“He said to wait.” One of the others said from behind him.
“I don’t care.” His grip tightened on her legs making her wince. Running one hand up her leg to the middle of her chest he slowly started pushing her back against the pool table.
Tessa started to panic, especially when she heard Nicole screaming and yelling at them. Her fight and flight mode kicked in full force. “No!” She screamed kicking out, but her feet hit only air.
“Hold her arms down.” He ordered the others before slapping her hard across the face. “Hold still.”
Tessa ignored him fighting with everything she had. He slapped her again causing her vision to blur. She had to force herself not to fade out. Hearing rustling she focused enough to see him working his belt. She continued to fight; no way was she going down without a fight. Hearing Nicole she twisted her head enough to see three half-breeds holding her back, blood tears running down her face. Tessa started fighting again, but stopped when he gripped her around the throat and squeezed.
“You need to stop fighting before you get her killed.” He nodded toward Nicole. He let go of her throat leaving her wheezing for breath. He leaned close to her face. “I will have you Tessa.”
“Never.” Tessa slammed her head into his face almost knocking herself out in the process.
“I warned you.” His eyes narrowed, wiping his nose to check for blood. “Kill her.” His order echoed in Tessa’s brain. Her eyes tracked the larger half-breed of the group who grabbed Nicole by the head ready to twist.
“Okay…okay…I’m sorry.” Tessa couldn’t take her eyes off Nicole’s. “I give everything freely. Please Travis….don’t do this.” She turned her pleading eyes to his doing her best to hide the hate. She used his first name hoping…God she didn’t know what she hoped.
“I like my name on your lips.” His hand slowly trailed to the button on her jeans. Flicking it open he started to work the zipper. “I want to hear you cry it out when I’m inside you.”
Tessa could see from her peripheral vision the huge half-breed step away from Nicole. “Whatever you want just please let her go.”
“I would do anything for you….but that.” He smiled down at her, his eyes looking more crazed.
“Car’s coming.” Someone said from Tessa’s left stopping Travis from going any further. “It passed.”
“I think we need to wait.” Another said, this one behind Tessa. “He isn’t going to be happy.”
“I don’t care. I’ve waited long enough.” He continued to work her pants, finally he had them to her ankles and then completely off. He fingered her light blue underwear. “So pretty.” His finger caught the front of her underwear band tugging it up and down, playing games with her.
Tessa decided then and there she needed to leave, leave her body, her mind. Staring up at the pool table light over her head, Jared’s face flittered through her mind, but she pushed it back. She didn’t want to associate Jared with this nightmare. Tears slipped out of the corner of her eyes running down into her hair.
“What the hell is going on?” A voice boomed echoing off the walls. “Dammit, can’t you follow directions?”
A man Tessa has never seen walked up and smacked Travis in the back of the head. The pressure from being held down loosened and without a second thought she tried to back away.
“Kenny?” Nicole cried out, confusion clouded her eyes as she fell to her knees when the arms holding her dropped away.
“Well look who we have here.” Kenny slapped his hand to his chest bending down to her level. “Nicole Callahan in the flesh.”
“You’re a half-breed?” Nicole gasped shocked. “Pam never said anything.”
“That’s because she was warned not to.” Kenny smirked giving her hard taps on the head. “Oh, now I see the wheels turning. This is just classic. Just wait, there’s more surprises and reveals coming up.”
The door opened again making everyone jump. Chad Evans and Levi walked in pushing Pam in front of them. “Look what we found sneaking around outside.” Chad pushed her clear across the room where she fell at Kenny’s feet.
“Get the f*ck up.” Kenny grabbed her hair pulling her up to his face. “Trying to be a hero?”
“No.” She shook her head. “I want to help. You know how I feel about them. I’m sorry I followed you, but I heard you talking on the phone. I’m…I’m sorry.” Pam bowed her head.
Kenny smiled. “You are full of surprises aren’t you?” He let go of her hair.
“Pam? What are you doing?” Nicole’s eyes were full of confusion. When Pam wouldn’t even look her way, Nicole started fighting, clawing her way to Pam. “You bitch! How could you?!”
Laughing Kenny leaned down kissing Pam on the cheek. “There might be hope for you yet.” He turned toward everyone else, tossing rope to Travis. “Tie her down. Get in position. We don’t have much time.”
