“I don’t mind so long as she’s with us,” Gael said. “We’ve already lost so much time. I always felt we were fucking pussies for not going to get her.”
“We weren’t pussies,” I said. “We were keeping her alive.”
“And what about now?” Gael asked. “We’re taking her to where our fathers live.”
“Yeah, but they’re not the Monsters anymore,” Caleb said. “We are.”
That was what we’d become.
I stared at Emily. Her face had lost the frown, but I knew it was just the drugs. If we weren’t careful, we were going to lose her, and I couldn’t allow that to happen.

River
We got her home.
The sedative worked until we got her in the driveway. We’d been fucking blessed to get her this far, but she turned into a hellcat.
She kneed me in the balls, clocked Gael in the jaw, and bit onto Caleb’s arm. When she tried to run, I pushed through the pain and rushed toward her. We both went down and I made sure I was the one to suffer rather than her.
I had her arms by her sides, hoping she wouldn’t stop me from being able to father children. She wriggled, screamed curses. This wasn’t going to look good in front of our men. Caleb got to her first and I saw she’d drawn blood on his arm. Not too much but enough. He somehow had grabbed some rope or it had been stored close, I didn’t know how.
“Let me go. Let me go right now.” She screamed.
I noticed not once did she beg for anyone to help her. I didn’t know if that was because she knew we wouldn’t hurt her or if she figured it was a lost cause.
None of our men would interfere.
This wasn’t good, though.
With Gael close, I let go of her arms and put my hand across her mouth. Instantly, she tried to bite me, but I was able to avoid those vicious teeth.
Gael and Vadik helped as Caleb used his expertise and wrapped that rope around her wrists. Her feet were still a problem. Caleb hauled her over his shoulder. Gael offered me a hand.
I made sure to look at all the men who’d witnessed the scene before them. If they knew what was good for them, they’d turn a-fucking-way. Part of me wanted them to test us now, to try to take one of us out.
No one did.
They all turned away as if they hadn’t seen anything.
We didn’t hire cowards and the men here were loyal and even still, it pissed me off.
Following Caleb and a wriggling, curse-spewing Emily into our home, I wasn’t shocked when he took her straight upstairs, going to one of our guest bedrooms. It made me smile when I saw he’d picked the one with a four-poster bed. The things we could do to her just by tying her up. It would be a whole lot of fun.
He dumped her on the bed and tied the rope around the board, knotting it up.
“You think this is funny?” she asked.
“What I’m doing is for your own good.” He snarled at her.
“Well, look at you, you taking charge. Where’s your daddy? Don’t you need to go and kiss his arse?” The way she spoke now had an English twang to her words, and it was so fucking sexy.
Caleb fisted some of her hair. “I don’t need my daddy. I’m the one in charge. You’re at our mercy, Emily. So, it’s about time you start playing nice with us.”
“I have played nice. Ask Gael. I’m sure you already know about River and Vadik. Just you left, and guess what, I’m not going to be giving you anything.” She tried to pull away but his grip kept her immobile. They were both panting and just watching them made my cock hard.
I’d missed her fire, her passion, her mouth. The times we’d shared when we were younger, they hadn’t been enough. I couldn’t stop looking at her.
“Oh, you will, Emily. You’re going to give me everything and what’s more, you’re going to beg me for it.”
“Think again.”
“No? Put it this way, unless you start to learn to play nice, you’re never going to see your friend again.” Caleb slammed his lips down on hers as I turned to look at Gael and Vadik for any idea what he was fucking doing.
Of course, we didn’t give anything away.
Caleb pulled away.
“River, let me out,” she said. Her lips were swollen and her cheeks flushed.
I shook my head and turned on my heel.
Next, she called Vadik and then Gael. All of us left, not getting involved. Caleb closed the door, flicking the lock into place.
“You want to tell us what that was all about?” I asked.
“I need a drink.”
“You had plenty on the plane.” We all had our vices, but we’d made sure not one of us succumbed to the addiction. For now, it had been easy, but that didn’t mean it couldn’t change. I stared at him, waiting.
Caleb looked at me. “Don’t for a second think you can tell me what to do. I need a drink, sleep, and then I’ll deal with the wildcat. Until then, stay out of my fucking face.”
He pushed away from us and I let him go. We were all tense, and I couldn’t say I blamed him.
“I’m out,” Gael said. Before he left, he put his palm flat against the wood of the door. “She’s finally home where she’s supposed to be.”
It was the first time he’d looked
