“I swear to all that is holy, if you don’t go the fuck away, Troy, I’m going to beat your ass.”

“Awww. Is that any way to talk to your big brother after everything that I’ve done for you?”

“We both know all you did was follow your best friends into a crazy situation and got hella lucky when you did.

“Oh, shit that hurts in my soul, little sister!” Troy laughs.

I finally open my eyes looking over at him, “Seriously though. Thank you so much for coming and getting me. I never doubted that you would but I was so scared.” I can’t stop the tears as they roll down my cheek.

Troy moves in a blink of an eye, pulling me to him, “I’ll always come for you. You’re my other half. I’ll always come for you.”

“Always!” I say, smiling through the tears. Troy pulls me into a hug.

A knock on the door pulls us apart. I look up to see Ghost standing at the door holding a teddy bear. Fire races down my spine as I take in the sight of the yummy man standing there holding a stuffed animal with a get well soon shirt on it.

The little voice inside decides to pipe in, “Man, what I wouldn’t give to get a taste of that man again.”

I shake my head, trying to shake that voice away.

“Come in.” I smile, waving him in.

“That is my cue to leave. I’ll come check in on you tomorrow. Call if you need anything,” Troy says, kissing me on top of my head and leaving the room, patting Ghost on the shoulder on his way out.

“How are you feeling?” Ghost asks once the door closes.

“I’m doing much better. Just like I thought, they cracked a few ribs and broke my ankle. I got an infection of some kind from who knows what and was septic. So you guys got there just in time.” I tell him honestly.

“If we’re going with pure honesty, if it wasn’t for your hint from the ladies making the calls, I don’t know that we would've found you.” Ghost tells me with head bowed.

“Like I just told my brother, I knew that you were coming to me. I knew if I gave them the code that you would come for us.” I grin at him.

“Well thank God you did because we had nothing. You ladies just disappeared into thin air. Hell the fucking calls they had them make they recorded and played it back at a completely different location so that even if the call was tracked it wouldn’t go back to their compound,” Ghost says. His long, strong legs carry him back and forth as he paces.

“It was really strange. They weren’t what I would have thought someone who kidnaps women would be,” I shrug.

Ghost spins around glaring, “Have you seen your fucking face? You almost fucking died! How much worse could it have been?”

“They could have kept us drugged and done who knows what to us. They didn’t. All they did was smack us around a little,” I tell him glaring right back.

Ghost doesn’t say anything for a long moment before dropping his head back on his shoulders, contemplating his answer. He finally replies, “You are very correct that it never should have happened. What’s causing me so much pause is how many did they do this too. If you two could disappear without a trace then what about them?”

“Well, we now have one of their main places of operations and a place to start looking for more missing people,” I tell him, meaning every word.

“You want me to do that? Look for possible missing people and try to find them?” Ghost questions me.

I think about it for about five seconds, when I know my answer, “Yes, in fact, I do!” Deciding to be sassy, “I mean there is a friend that I have that runs a search and rescue business who might be able to help me!” I wink at him.

Ghost turns, looking at me he takes long strides to my bedside, “A friend? Was I just a friend when I spent every day buried deep inside that sweet pussy for two weeks? Was I just a friend when you would ride my tongue to the point you were a limp noodle?”

“I mean what else should I call you? An extended one-night stand?”

“That sassy mouth of yours is going to end up getting you left with a handprint on that sweet ass.”

Ghost slams his mouth down on mine, stopping whatever I was about to say. I relax into him, returning every swipe of his tongue with mine. He runs his hand up the side of my throat into my hair, gripping it in his fist and forcing me to allow him to lead the kiss.
