The Brotherhood- Tempted Book 1

Layer 17

Layla sat up with sweat dripping off her body and her heart was racing so fast it hurt and she could not catch her breath. She had tears running down her cheeks and screams she did not even know she had in her. Her throat was dry and scratchy and her stomach felt like liquid fire was burning inside. The heat was getting hotter as it moved to her core and burned its way down her legs and tingled into her toes.

She threw her blankets from her body and slowly slid out of the bed and fell to her knees on the floor. She laid on the floor crying trying to get up, but she was so weak and her body was so hot it was numb.

"Help!" She groaned.

She crawled over to the door of her bathroom and Payne stepped out of the darkness and was shocked at what he saw, as soon as Layla saw him her body took full control and she jumped up and lunged at him, but before her body could get a hold of his. Someone pulled her back so hard she lost her breath when she slammed into the chest of muscles.

She looked up and saw Stryker holding her back.

"LET ME GO!!!" She screamed.

Payne wanted her as much as she wanted him. why the hell was Stryker here...again. Damn him. Payne wanted to take her, please her, and make all her pains go away.

"Layla" Payne purred.

"Payne, I fucking warned you...Now get the fuck home...NOW, you're suspended get home!" Stryker shouted.

"Stryker!" Payne shouted back.

"Go home now, I don't what you to look at her or even think about her and if I find out you did..."

"LET ME GO!" She screamed, fighting him.

Ahgoney ShadowVened into the room and Stryker instantly shoved Layla into his capable arms. She fought him, but watched as Stryker threw Payne up against wall putting a good size dent into her wall making rubble fall all over the floor. Stryker grabbed him and hit him so hard in the jaw it knocked him to the ground.

"Now...you are going to back the fuck off, and if I see you looking at her and even breathing the same air as her I will beat the fuck out of you on top of stripping your title and abilities...do you fucking understand me?" Stryker screamed like never had before, making threat that he had never before.

Payne got up and shoved Stryker back into Layla's night stand knocking books to the ground.

"Fuck you, Stryker!" Payne growled and ShadowVened out.

"No, No...Please no... I need...." Layla whined, but Ahgoney quickly covered her mouth.

"You do not need him." Ahgoney whispered.

"And I don't need to hear that." Stryker groaned.

Ahgoney laughed "Do you got this?" Ahgoney asked.

"Just go make sure that Payne does as I say." Stryker ordered.

Ahgoney ShadowVened away and Stryker quickly grabbed on to Layla who was making her way for the door.

"This will pass Layla...You just need blood."

Malicious was on his way to his day watch for Layla's room which he was already having a very hard time doing. Especially after they kissed last night, he knew he fucked up, but he was not going to do it again. He knocked on the door, when he heard yelling and things breaking. It was defiantly Stryker yelling, then he heard Payne's name and then more yelling and things falling.

Malicious felt an anger like he had never felt before the fact that he could smell a marking scent from the door and the yelling and breaking things just enraged him.
