That makes my heart swell, and I lean back as he cleans my feet. He works swiftly, pulling out shards of glass and sanitizing the cuts. Then he bandages them before grabbing a pack of wipes and helping me clean up the blood splattered across my skin.
When I’m mostly presentable, he squeezes my leg and then leans forward. His lips hover over mine, and I inhale him.
“Thank you for finding me,” he says.
“I was worried.”
“You don’t need to be. I’ve survived worse.”
“But I don’t want you to die,” I whisper.
“I’m not going anywhere.”
“I may die if you do.”
He drags his finger across my jaw. “You won’t die. You’re invincible.”
“I don’t want to be invincible without you.”
“Here I am. Nothing has happened to me. I’m just waiting for the traitors to be brought down so I can operate on them.”
My eyes flash and he cocks his head. “Would you like to join me in taking them apart?”
“I so would. Are you going to teach me your ways?”
“I don’t think you’d like my ways. It requires patience.”
I wiggle in my seat, and he reaches out, pulling me to stand. “I think I won’t ask for patience, Bane of my existence. I think I’ll only ask for you to behave. To make a little less mess? Perhaps gently pulling off an arm instead of hacking it with a cleaver.”
“I can’t promise anything. I do love a jagged knife and a mess.”
His lips twitch. “But if you behave, I can reward you when we’re through.”
My cock perks up, my insides trembling with excitement. “Really? I love a reward. I’m very reward-based. I can be the best boy when one is offered up.”
“Mhm, how about—” His head turns as the first victim is dragged through the doors. “How about we get started with this one and get some answers?”
“I want all the answers,” I tell him, adjusting myself indiscreetly. He eyes my dick and then wets his lips.
“Answers and then reward.”
“Reward,” I repeat as I grab my tools all piled up on a cart and roll them toward the man that Jax and another guard are tying to a chair. He’s struggling, but bleeding from wounds in his arm and leg. He won’t last long. Watching him struggle reminds me of the man I fought with in the tunnels and I tell Jax to go find him and bring him back here. I took his eyes. Now I’ll take everything else until he tells me what he knows And I’ll make sure to make them all suffer. They came after my family. After my home.
I will make sure they all rue the day they were born.

GEORGIY
It’s impressive how much mess Bane can make in such a short amount of time. The floor is covered in blood. He is, too. He even manages to get some of it on me.
A long splatter was strewn across my abdomen when he was sawing off a leg.
The sight of it makes me twitch, but this is how he works.
And he gets the job done. I can see why Anthony kept him around all this time.
Over the next seven hours, the two of us working into the evening, he finds out what Anthony wants to know. He does it with ease, and he has fun doing it. Or at least the constant chatter and cackling seem to indicate he’s enjoying himself.
