Planting my hands on my hips, I give them a pointed look.
Micah looks at Jackson for backup, but Jackson just shrugs.
Clearly exasperated, Micah relents. “Okay fine. We'll set up a circuit. If you don't pass, you drop it. If you do, we won't argue anymore, but you'll still have to convince The Brains.”
Jackson snorts at Micah's usage of the nickname he gave Luis and Lukas. They've been spending almost every waking hour in front of the computers, perfecting our plan.
We've all been obsessively working to fine tune the plan that Tony presented to us. Tomorrow night is when we're supposed to infiltrate the lab, and we'll be leaving in the morning to head to a new safe house closer to Raleigh.
The guys and I have been rotating to stretch our legs and get ready for “Plan B,” in case we run into any trouble while we're sneaking in and out of the lab. Yesterday morning, Jackson made a run into town to pick up a delivery. He returned with a box with ear pieces, bulletproof vests, and various weapons. They’ve already taken me out for target practice and seemed to think I took to it well enough.
I feel confident that I can meet any challenge they set up for me.
“Okay, well, I'll head inside for a snack while you set it up. I don't want you accusing me of cheating so you can excuse losing this bet.”
Turning on my heel, I head into the house. The door slams behind me, causing Luis and Lukas to look up at me expectantly.
“What kind of trouble are you causing now?” Luis asks sarcastically, his eyes trailing over my sweat-soaked body.
“Who says I'm causing trouble?”
“You seem to have your sassy pants on today.” Lukas gestures to my hand on my hip.
“Sassy pants? Really?” I roll my eyes and look at Luis for backup.
“He's not wrong. You do seem…sassier than usual.”
I narrow my eyes at him, even though I know he's right.
I purposefully give them my back as I open the fridge to grab a pitcher of water. “Micah and Jackson are setting up an obstacle course. When I pass it, everyone's going to stop arguing with me about whether I'm going to the lab.”
“Is that so?” Luis is right behind me, his sudden closeness causing me to nearly drop the pitcher. The water sloshes down the front of my body, making me squeal.
Quickly regaining my composure, I place the pitcher on the counter. I turn around to face Luis, who is so close that my chest presses against him and I have to crane my neck to look up at him.
“Yes, that's so. I'm not staying behind while you all run off to save Bennet and face who-knows-what kind of danger. I'm just as capable as anyone else here.”
Luis pushes a loose strand of hair behind my ear. Another body closes in behind me.
“It's not that we don't think you're capable, Six,” Lukas says. “We just can't stand the thought of you so much as stepping foot on that property again, especially now that we understand what happened to you there.”
“You'd be in far more danger than any of us, and knowing that could cause a distraction,” Luis adds.
Lukas' long fingers trail down my spine as he bends down to press a warm kiss on the back of my neck. Luis presses closer to me, lifting my chin and ghosting his mouth over mine. My skin erupts in feverish bumps.
I stretch my neck to give Lukas more access as he licks a path from my shoulder to my ear. “Gods, even your sweat tastes good.”
As Lukas kisses and licks at my neck, I press up onto my tip-toes to meet Luis' mouth. He kisses me deeply, possessively, his tongue entwining with mine and pulling out a moan.
Luis squeezes my rib cage almost punishingly as Lukas presses his groin into my back, his hand splayed over my stomach. As much as I want to get caught up in the moment, I can't let them sidetrack me from my goal.
Pushing my butt back into Lukas' erection, I palm Luis through his dark jeans and squeeze. I can feel them both harden almost instantly.
“I know what you're trying to do,” I say against Luis' mouth. Reluctantly, I extricate myself from the delicious Six sandwich that this promised to be.
Both of them are staring at me, stunned. Good. Serves them right for trying to distract me.
I don't say another word as I pour myself a glass of water, down it in a few gulps, and then walk back out the door. I might be incredibly turned on right now, but if anything, I'm more determined than ever.
