The X in Skye

Partner?

Skye's POV

Today was intense enough but now I've got two people sniffing around. One who's supposed to be dead and the other, I'm not sure but he's definitely suspicious.

"You want to take this one?" I asked Grayson regarding the wounded man chained to a chair.

The ride home was interesting. It was slightly awkward having a third person in the car especially one who's heading for a life sentence.

I went back to Marco partially to check his wellbeing but check the deal was still on. We did our job of protecting him and club, no harm done, not to him at least. He showed his gratitude. I know he's going to be way more vulnerable now his brothers around, this could have been him in the first place.

The crossed armed charming figure stared at me in disbelief "Isn't this your thing? Or are just being polite, offering it to me?"

I grinned "Don't worry I'm not being polite. I don't take interest in torture. I let the boys do it, I stay for the answers, they stay for the fun"

"Makes sense" he walked closer to the door pushing it open "Shall we?" I nodded and strolled in.

My blade did quite a number on his back, he shouldn't have run. The man looked bitter about the situation, ghostly pale but fire rising, conflicting emotions yet visible.

"We can do this the easy way or hard way"

I realise I sound so cliché. In reality there is no easy way, it was heading in the same direction but ones short than the other. His snarl gave the impression it was going to be the hard way.

"Let's start easy. What's your name? and who the hell do you work for?"

Deafening silence filled the room. I give him credit he seems to be loyal but I think it's going to change fairly soon.

I raised my eyebrows at Grayson, he slipped his jacket off and rolled his black dress shirt sleeves up. Something about the strong veiny arms he has makes him more desirable appearance wise.

"I'll give you enough chance before my partner here has a field trip on your face"

The words fell from my mouth so naturally. The words I had forbidden now felt comfortable. Grayson picked up on it too, his eyes met mine accompanied with a small smile.

One punch from Grayson resulted in a cracked jaw and bloody lips. Where the hell was he hiding this when we were training?

"Who's so important that you have to protect them? Because they don't seem to be very bothered about you now"

Without a prompt Grayson takes another hit, something tells me I just released a beast. I called it a long time ago but it was an assumption now, it's a fact. His eyes lit up in a dark way, he has two sides , aggressive and gentle, almost perfect.

His body was looking more lifeless by the second. Not something I particularly enjoy. I had nothing new, except Grayson has a hard jab, I mean jaw breaking.

The door burst opening with Axel and Blake almost skipping in casually. I rolled my eyes at their arrival.

"I knew you two wouldn't keep away for long"

Blake gave me a childish smirk "You know us so well"

"You didn't tell me we had royalty"

My eyes narrowed in confusion "Wilder. A former Gunner"

"Why didn't I know about this?"

He threw his arm around my shoulder "He was around before you stepped into my dark world baby sis"
