“We need to get out of here,” Loch said. “It took longer than we anticipated for Dakota to get through the locks.”
“Come, little one,” Dakota said.
Pip started to protest. He wasn’tthatlittle. But then again, it was kind of hot and maybe he’d misunderstood the mate thing and Sawyer wasn’t really the mate of both of these giant hunks of perfection. Besides, he had another concern.
“What about Tony? We can’t leave him here!”
Sawyer looked up at Pip and smiled. “We aren’t. Hi, I’m Sawyer. We’re here to rescue you.”
“You are?”
“Yep.”
Another man appeared at the end of the hall. Big, and broad, and gorgeous. “Oh,” Pip sighed. “Thatmust be my mate. I have been such a good boy to deserve that hunk of—”
“Sawyer, get your ass in gear.”
“Coming,” Sawyer said before turning to Pip. “What’s your name?”
“Phillip. But everyone calls me Pip.”
“Hi, Pip. I want you to stay with Dakota, okay? He’s going to get you out of here.”
“Okay.”
Dakota tucked Pip behind him and started down the hall. Pip held onto his shirt, looking back over his shoulder to make sure they weren’t leaving Tony. But no, of course they weren’t. Tony had basically attached himself to Sawyer’s side while Loch brought up the rear with his sword out and ready, and his wings sort of hovering protectively over Sawyer. So dreamy.
He could hear lots of commotion going on outside. Funnily enough, he had never seen anything of where he was being held except for the room he’d been placed in with Tony. He had a bathroom and a bed and a giant tiger and that was pretty much it.
They reached a hallway and another gorgeous guy made his appearance. This one also had a sword, but it was covered in blood. Pip gulped.
“Is that a tiger?” Blond Hunky Swordsman asked.
“Yep,” Sawyer replied.
“That’s a complication.”
“I know. Let’s move.”
It was odd how they all kind of deferred to Sawyer. He was the youngest of them, clearly. And he didn’t have any weapons. Although he was wearing the really cool armor which probably was important.
“Draco!”
Hunky Hottie with dark hair reappeared.Draco.Pip wanted to swoon. Even his name was sexy.
“He’s making the noise again,” Dakota said.
“I heard it as well,” Loch added. “Perhaps he is injured.”
Pip glared at him before turning his back on them both. Dakota and Loch clearly didn’t understand the importance of this moment. He was about to meet his mate.
But no. Draco grabbed Sawyer and kissed him before pulling away and looking him over. “You aren’t hurt?”
“No. I’m fine.”
“Another one?” Pip whined. “This is because I didn’t practice my magic, isn’t it? Or because I didn’t eat my vegetables? I’m sorry, Universe! Please forgive me. I just wantone. Is that too much to ask?”
Sawyer snickered and drew his attention. “I’ll explain everything once we’re out of here, okay?”
