Saving an Angel

Chapter Nineteen: Weird Thank You

Lennox

We drove my car to Xavier's so we could bring Zeus. Aubrey was sitting on the couch when we got there so I went to sit with her. Zeus moved with me and she started petting him.

"You okay?" I asked her when no one was paying attention.

She sighed. "Yeah, just tired." Heavy footsteps came from the stairs and soon Xavier came into view. He looked at me and nodded for me to follow him. I sighed getting up and following him to the empty kitchen.

"I believe this is yours." He pulled out my gun and handed it to me.

"It's not going to be traced back to a double homicide, is it?"

He grunted something like a laugh before letting out a deep sigh. "Thank you. I watched the video and I owe you one."

"It was for her." I clarified. I was still not okay with him.

"I know, that's why I'm grateful. I'm not sure what they were planning or why-"

"Really? You can't think of a reason why?" I stopped him. "The Devil's Horsemen are impulsive but they weren't just fucking around. Do you honestly believe they weren't sent there for her?" His eyes darkened.

"What do you know?" He demanded.

"I know they wouldn't risk pissing you off unless they had a plan, or they knew you wouldn't be there."

"And how exactly would they have known?" He crossed his arms glaring down at me. I rolled my eyes

"If it was me why wouldn't I have just let them take her, dumbass." He stepped towards me, angry. I didn't care, I wasn't really in the mood. We had a stare off and after a minute I sighed backing down. "Look, I'm sorry. I know you're worried but I don't know anything." Okay, I kinda lied.

He seemed to calm down at my surrender. "The doctor came by," He said out of nowhere. "Have him check your neck, make sure everything is okay."

"Thank you," I said, confused as to why he would care.

I followed him back to the living room and saw the doctor on the couch cleaning the shoulder of one of the guys. Blade saw me and smiled before pulling me to him on the couch. I let him, it was kinda nice when he held me. Zeus walked over to us and put his head on Blade's leg.

"We are bonding." Blade said to me nodding towards Zeus. I smiled.

"What happened to you?" I asked the guy getting worked on.

"Got shot," He smirked. "I'm Chase, we haven't officially met."

"Lennox,"

"Where's Aubrey?" Xavier asked, glancing around the room.

"She got upset seeing him bleeding, so she went upstairs." The doctor answered. Xavier glared at Chase.

"It's not like I'm doing it on purpose!" I tried to hide a laugh as Xavier disappeared out of the room. "I'm fine, thanks for asking!" Chase yelled after him. That time I did laugh.

"Welp," The doctor leaned back. "You're all good."

"No medical advice?" Chase smirked, pulling a shirt on slowly so as to not move his arm too much.

"Stop getting shot." He turned to me. "Alright, you're up."

"I'm good, it's just a scratch."

"Xavier wanted me to check and frankly I'd like to stay on his good side."

I sighed. "Fine." He checked and cleaned it up and then left shortly after.

"Is that all I was here for?" I asked, leaning back into the couch.

"Xavier doesn't do thank you's much, he just wanted to make sure you were okay after helping Aubrey." I could kinda admire that.

"Well, I kinda need to go home now."

"You can stay the night." Blade stopped me. I gave him a weird look. "Come on," He stood and reached out a hand to me. I shrugged, taking it and Zeus followed. He led me to an empty bedroom.

"A few of us crash here a lot." Blade explained. I just nodded and sighed. "You okay?"

"Yeah, just...thinking." If Aubrey was pregnant the last thing she needed was the stress of the clubs. And if Jeremy found out, what would he do? Would he leave her be? Would the Horsemen?

"Hey," Blade's voice cut into my train of thought. I looked up at him. He looked a bit worried.

"Sorry," I shook my head to try and clear my thoughts.

"Worried about the Horsemen?" He guessed sitting on the bed.

I grunted. "No, worried about Aubrey."

"Trust me, Gorgeous, no one will hurt her. Xavier will make damn sure of that."

"I hope you're right" I moved, laying down beside him on the bed. He leaned back onto his side looking down at me. His fingers traced the cut along my neck and his eyes darkened.

"I'm not happy about this."

I rolled my eyes. "I can take care of myself."

He sighed. "Just because you can doesn't mean you should have too." Welp, that did it. There were the butterflies again. I looked away from him. Why did I have to be so damn attracted to him?

He moved his hand under my chin and tilted my head back up only this time he was a lot closer. He didn't waste any time pressing his lips against mine.

This wasn't right. I was trying to stay away from men like him.

His hand moved to cup my cheek and I moaned at how gentle he was.

Who was I kidding? I wanted him.

I pushed myself off the bed and rolled us over so I was on top. I straddled him and took my time kissing down his neck. He let out a throaty moan and I felt his member pressed against me through his pants. I smiled at the effect I had on him and grinned my hips slowly against him. He groaned, sitting up and pulling my face back to his. His kiss was rough and needy as he nipped at my bottom lip before he wrapped his hand in my hair, pulling so I tilted my head back as he started leaving kisses down my neck.

"Why do you have fucking clothes on?" His rough voice whispered in my ear. I shivered, feeling a wave of excitement causing me to squeeze my thighs together.

"Why don't you do something about it?" Resisting the urge to beg him to rip them off. He didn't hesitate, leaning back and pulling my shirt over my head.

"So fucking perfect." He muttered against my skin as he kissed around my bra while his hands unclasped it.

"Blade" A pounding on the door, interrupted us.

Blade glared at the door as I moved off him and hooked my bra back. He stood handing me my shirt and moving to the door.

"Someone better be dead." He grumbled, opening the door.

"Xavier wants us all in the kitchen." It was Clutch. I let out an annoyed breath falling back on the bed.

"Alright, I'll be down in a sec." Blade turned back to me.

"I'll be back in a bit, Gorgeous." He leaned down and kissed me. I took his bottom lip in between my teeth as he pulled away. He groaned. "You have to make it harder than it already is, don't you?"

I looked up at him innocently. "What ever do you mean?"

He let out a deep chuckle before leaving the room.
