My heart skipped a beat as I adjusted the syringe in my hand, tossing the napkins away. “Who else knows?”
“Jack and Rae, Zo, Azrael, possibly Pops, us,” he answered evenly as I pulled off the cap.
I turned to him. “Everything that happened to Rae happened years ago.”
“Azrael told her to wait, it’s part of his...hunt.”
Not as delusional as Everett made it seem then. It was real, whatever it was he was going after.
I slowly stepped up behind him, his head angling towards me ever so slightly. I could see the corner of one of his eyes narrow.
He knew I was up to something. “She doesn’t seem like the kind to wait to exact her revenge.”
Everett watched me for a moment before returning his attention to the bedroom door. “Azrael was sabotaging every effort they made to go after him.”
I had more questions, but those could be asked later, after he woke up. I slid the needle into his neck, his body tensing, his hands tightening into fists, a low snarl leaving his lips as I injected him with the drugs.
I pulled it out and stepped back, my eyes wide. Holy fuck.
Everett stretched his neck a little, his jaw working. “I hope you know what you’re doing,” he growled threateningly.
I looked at the syringe in my hand and then back to him. “Yeah, me too.”

The first thing I thought was“She fucking drugged me.”
The second thing was“Don’t panic,shedrugged me.”
She did it for a good reason, and whatever reason that was, I would allow her to explore butfuckif it didn’t make me want her even more. I was curious to see what she was going to do now that she had me…
I flexed my hands a little, everything groggy and slow.
Oh. Look at that, she had me tied to the bed.
The fact that she even managed to get me up here was impressive, so I held that pride close to my chest as I forced myself out of the drugged-up state of mind I was in.“Good job, pup. Now show me what else you’ve got.”
We were all trained in this. Trained to fight against the effects of the drugs, to wake up aware and ready to fight as soonas our system allowed us.
I blinked hard and forced my eyes open, my mind quickly waking up. I took in the surroundings quickly. She wasn’t here, but Lucy was. She was sitting in the doorway, watching me carefully.
They planned this together, clearly.
I lifted my head, flexing my fingers as I took in the ribbons she had tied around each wrist. She had me tied up like a starfish. Each wrist strapped to a bed post, each foot tied down as well.
I tested the restraints before looking down. Oh, and look at that, I was naked.
My head fell back onto the pillows, my cock already throbbing and hard. She was going to try and fuck me today.
The pride I felt for her was unmatched, but it was also mixing with the need to break out of these restraints and tie her down, along with worry.
As much as I wanted this, I was so used to being the one tyingothersup, that my instinct told me I needed to be angry, but I was also worried about her sudden state of mind.
She was on the phone with Evelyn hours ago, which meant she had been sitting in the apartment, working up the courage to do this for hours before I came home and dropped that information on her. I never would have said a thing had I known.
