Levi pulled me up, but I couldn’t stop seeing all that blood. He yelled something and then pushed me behind him.

When next I looked up, Evander threw himself between Levi and a doctor. No, not a doctor. Another assassin with a taser.

Evander seized as the surge of electricity claimed him. I screamed again as Levi yanked me forward. He punched the bald doctor right in the nose. A great fountain of blood spurted upward and rained down upon us as Levi kicked the man aside, running into the hall with me.

People shouted and shrieked, scattering in all directions. Someone pulled the fire alarm and it blared, drowning out everything but the pounding of my heart.

I clutched Levi’s hand as we fled down the hall. It was chaos with everyone trying to get out of the hospital at the same time. Bodies slammed against ours, but he didn’t lose his grip on me.

Gunshots echoed above the screaming alarm.

Was Evander still alive? Tasers didn’t kill, did they? And Talis. I hadn’t even seen what happened to him. There had been so much blood….

Levi pulled me closer to him, wrapping one arm over my shoulders. “We’re going to the SUV. There’s weapons in it, and I can hide you safely while I go back—”

“No!” I locked my arms around him. I couldn’t let him go back there to die. “Don’t leave me.”

He growled low in his throat and continued to lead us to the door we’d entered the building. We pushed out into the garage with a bunch of other people. They went off in various directions as Levi made a beeline for the SUV.

Levi still hadn’t said he’d stay. I couldn’t stand it if he lost his life too and jerked us to a stop. “Please, Levi. Please don’t go back in there.”

He rubbed my back and drew us closer. The warmth of his body surrounded mine, made me feel safer, and his scent filled my nostrils with the sea and a masculine musk which made my heart beat faster for a whole different reason.

“Sweetling,” he murmured and touched his forehead to mine. “I don’t want to leave you, but they need me in—”

There were a series of clicks sounding extremely loud bouncing off the cement walls of the garage. Both of us whipped our heads to the side to spy a photographer taking pictures of us. My first thought was why wasn’t the guy fleeing like everyone else, but then I remembered he was with the media. Those blood-thirsty piranha ran toward danger for any opportunity to get a photo for five minutes of fame.

“Fuck off!” Levi flipped the photographer the finger and started us on our way back to the SUV.

My cheeks burned at being caught in such an intimate moment where I’d been imagining Levi pressing more than just his forehead against me. His mouth on mine, his hard chest mashing my breasts as he forces open my legs to….

My inner thighs were suddenly slippery with slick and that wanton ache snatched a hold of me.

Oh God, not now.

Three spots away from the SUV and a bullet pinged off the wall near our heads. I peered over my shoulder to see the photographer no longer holding a camera but a gun.

Levi cursed and pulled me down with him as another pair of shots hit the spot where we’d been standing. “Keep down!”

We scurried behind the cars to the SUV. Levi grabbed the door handle, it beeped with recognition of his fingerprints, and opened. Another half dozen shots hit the vehicle. I cried out as Levi pushed me inside.

“Stay down and don’t open the doors!” He darted across the driver’s seat to the passenger side to open the glove box and take out a pistol. His body rubbed against mine and we both groaned. Someone was trying to kill us and all I could think about was Levi’s cock deep inside of me.

The door slammed and I was alone in the SUV. Shots fired from both sides. I muffled my cries with my hand.

Please let Levi be okay. Evander and Talis too. I barely knew them and yet my heart screamed we had known one another forever.

I writhed between the bucket sets, my pussy wet and wanting. Wiggling so much, I bumped against the bench seat in the back. I squeezed my thighs and tried to focus on the nightmare that was happening around me.

Another shot. Levi shouted something. There was a huge bang against the rear hatch. I peeked over the back seat to see the photographer’s face squished against the window. He spun and fired his weapon. Both men went down.

“Levi!” I crawled up onto the seat, desperate to see if he was okay. Fuck staying down. I needed to go out there and help him.

Just as I scrambled for the door, Levi stood and swiped the back of his hand over his bloody mouth. He stared down at the assassin and then snapped his eyes up to meet mine. His chest heaved with each breath and his hair hung around his face.

He was alive.

And so fucking gorgeous.
