Possessive: Always Theirs (Kingswood Saga Book 3) Completed

6. Hunter

We left Lily with her room mates and headed into the office, knowing we had camera's to pick up. The building was mostly silent as only a small team worked over the weekends.

"Should we tell Uncle Paul?" Max questioned and I nodded curtly. Much as I wanted to deal with it all for her, he needed to know. We needed his permission to handle it. Max followed me into my office, dropping into a chair. I was glad that the tech department was manned 24/7 as I asked for the cameras and software to be sent up, before calling home, knowing at this time of day on a weekend they were usually all together.

"Hey Mom" I greeted when the phone was answered, putting the call on speakerphone so we could both join in.
"My boys, is everything all right, you don't normally phone on a weekend?" she asks worriedly.
"Mom, Rubbish, we call you all the time" Max protested and she laughed sounding relieved.
"Oh. You're phoning from the office, you both work too much, its a weekend you should be out enjoying yourself. Who do you need to speak to, your fathers are out on the terrace?" she questions.

"Is Uncle Paul there?" I ask and hear her gasp.
"Is it Lily?" she worries and I groan hearing her call out for him. "He's just coming, is she okay?" she tells us.
"Mom, Lily is fine, I promise" I raise my voice a little, cursing myself, I should have waited till he was at his home, now Mom would tell Aunt Lucy and everyone else.
I hear the sound of voices in the background and the hear Uncle Paul's voice.

"Hunter?"
"Sorry Uncle Paul, I didn't mean to worry you, or mom, its nothing bad I promise"
"Hang on" I hear his sigh of relief and him talking to someone else his end before he returns to the call.
"Okay, i'm on my own, what's happened?" he questions.
Max and I repeat what we had learned and explain what we were going to do with the cameras.

"Good, I did wonder about that girl when she moved in, what about the boys, what did you think of them?"
Max and I exchange a look "We met them briefly but will talk to them tonight and make sure they have our numbers to contact if anything happens again. I don't trust Lily to get in touch herself, she didn't want us to know about this issue"

"And if anything else happens?" he questions.
"We have a spare room, we will keep her safe" Max promises and Uncle Paul chuckles.
"Even from herself?"
"Yes sir" I reply
"Good, good, now Lily will be cross if I interfere, I will let the others know the basics and that you are dealing with it, but you keep me up to date" he orders and we breathe in relief.
"Yes sir" we both say before he ends the call.

Knock Knock.
"Come in" Max calls and our tech supervisor staggers in with a box of equipment.
"Thanks Rupert, can you give us a quick refresh of how it works" Max asked and we spent the next hour familiarising ourselves with the cameras.

We expected the dorms to be old but were quietly disgusted at the run down feel to the building and the lack of security at the main door. We climbed up to the third floor, passing a tall blonde girl wearing a tight black dress who had blatantly checked us out, stopping in our way with her hand on her hip, she had asked if we were lost, then added she could help us find what we were looking for.   After a polite, "No. Thank you " Max and I had exchanging a shudder, stepping to the side as she stalked past, she was not our type at all, in fact only one girl was our type and we were heading her way.

I knocked on the door and Nick opened it welcoming us inside. "You've just missed her, she just left" he told us and I nodded.
"Tall blonde, we saw her" I said following him into the communal kitchen where Lily was sat with a coffee looking frustrated.

"Lily?"
She raised her eyes to me and I saw the flash of need before her eyes dropped "The advisor told her I had complained, she wasn't happy about it" she said and I looked at Nick, knowing there was more to the story.
He gulped and looked at Lily before speaking "She screamed abuse in Lily's face, called her all sorts of names, then when I came in acted as if nothing had happened, just flipped her switch, acting Miss Perfect" he said and Lily laid her head onto her arms, narrowly missing her coffee cup.

Max dropped the box on the table, making Lily jump, but her head remained down. We would let her hide for a little while longer.

"Okay is she out for a while?" I asked.
"Yep, dinner date with some wonderful blue blood, Lord something or other, according to her" Nick told us, as Robbie came into the kitchen.
"Good, Nick we will do your room first, then Robbie's, then we can show you how the system works" Max said and we followed Nick into his room, leaving Lily in the kitchen.

As we worked we found out more about each of them and warned them about Lily and what would happen if anything happened to her, both were happy to swap their numbers with us and promised to keep us updated, though as we looked around the dorm rooms we hated the thought of her staying here, it was a hovel. 

The boys set up and trained we looked for Lily, finding her in her room, looking through her things. We closed the door behind us, trapping her with us in the room that suddenly felt too small.

"Did you tell my dad?" she asked quietly, her back still to us.
"Yes" Max told her.
"Is he mad at me?"
I stepped up behind her and pulled her into my arms, my chin resting on the top of her head as she held on to me, "God, No, he's not mad at you baby, he's worried that you didn't tell him but happy with the camera Idea, he just wants you to be happy and safe" I tell her and felt the wet of her silent tears soaking into my shirt.

I look at Max over her head, and he nods, starting to pull out the equipment and set it up as I continue to hold her tight to me, till she's ready to let go.
Max is done when, she finally pulls back and looks up at me with wet eyes. I let my thumbs wipe away the moisture before kissing her forehead and turning her to Max who pats the bed next to him.

"Come and sit down baby, let me show you how this works" he holds out a hand and pulls her next to him, explaining the camera system and how it works.
"Thank you" she whispers as he finishes, her eyes darting between us both.
"Baby, you're ours to protect, have been since you first wrapped your fist around our finger as a baby, trust us to help you, please" I tell her and smile when she nods.

Her stomach growls just as Robbie knocks on the door, saying dinner was served, Lily blushing red as he asked us to join them, and we took her hands, tugging her behind us back to the kitchen.

The banter back and forth between the room mates is light and easy, with Nick telling them about his girlfriends latest crazy stunt and Robbie, groaning about his dads Christmas party ideas.  And whilst I hated the idea of any other men near our girl, these two were not too bad.

"You're Kingswood's?" Robbie said and I felt Lily freeze as I nodded, wondering where he was going with this. We didn't hide who we were but we didn't shout about it either.
"Oh shit really" Nick said looking at us and Lily.
"Don't let Imogen know, she'll be all over you, using Lily to get at you" Robbie warned and I heard Lily growl under her breath.
"Over my dead body"
