Chapter Four
Sarah
Bane chuckled darkly, but I didn’t have a chance to say a thing Bats giant hands had scooped me up . he upended me over his shoulder like I was a sack of flour.
“Oi, put me down.” I kicked my legs out , my foot hitting him square in the gut and he grunted. Not that it did any good. Bat didn’t let me down. His rip n me tightened. One big palm came own firmly on my ass.
“Don’t kick.” He growled but it wasn’t a warning. Well t was… a warning of something darl an delicious to come. He slapped my ass again an this time I moaned.
Banes chuckle became husky. An almost turned on sound.
I lifted my head from Bats back at the same time that he swung his head around to stare at the younger man.
“What the f**k was that?” There was no mistaken the threat in his voice this time. Bat was many things but he wasn’t known for having a sense of humour. Especially when it came to me.
“He didn’t mean anything Bat.” This was the side of him I didn’t like. The overbearingly jealous one. I had loved Bat my entire life but he hadn’t made it easy for me. Hell, at times he had made it damn near impossible.
But I had thought that was over. We had my brothers blessing. Although I wasn’t sure if that was just because he was too busy with Gabrielle to actually care too much about who I was screwing. Every one in the club already knew about us but last night we had kind of made it official . there was no more sneaking around.
And yet here Bat was growling at his friend just because he had made an appreciative sound. It reminded me too much of all the years I had watched my boyfriends get their faces beat because they were with me. Because even though Bat refused to make me his mate he sure as hell didn’t want anyone else to have me either.
“I don’t know what you mean Bat?” Banes voice was wary.
“You just made a f*****g s*x sound at my mate. Me slapping her ass turn you on?” Bats voice was too calm. Silky smooth.
I stiffened over his shoulder. Sending up a silent prayer that Bane didn’t say something .. well Bane like. The youngest member of the Sabers had a habit of opening his mouth first and thinking about it later. And more than one fight had resulted from it. For all his massive size and impressive muscles he was little more than a cub. And like cubs everywhere he got into trouble. A lot.
What I didn’t want was him to do was get into trouble over me. Especially when it was a stupid noise that set Bat off.
Bane could handle himself in a fight, all the Sabers could but he was no match for Bat.
“What? No”
“Sounded like It did to me Bat. You want to watch me f**k her?”
I slapped at Bats shoulder.
Bane dint say anything and It was maybe the worse thing he could do at that moment. Bats growl was low and menacing.
“Stop it,” I swatted at the big cat, trying to twist my body out of his grasp so I could put myself between them. “Put me down Bat now.”
He ignored me totally. The growls falling from his lips fast.
“Jesus Bat, will yo calm down.”
I rolled my eyes. Bane was saying all the wrong things right now. Stupid boy.
“Did yo really just tell me to calm the f**k down when you are looking at my mates ass? What do yo think she is? some kind of club girl I would be happy to pass your way when I’m done with her?” Bat was getting angrier and angrier.
I kicked at him hard, the bones in my foot crunching as they slammed into his ribs. Pain rippled up my leg but it had the desired effect. Bats grip on me loosened enough for me to slide down his body.
Pressing my hands against his chest, I tried to use my full weight to psh him back. I could see where this was going.
The same way it always went when it came to me and Bat.
“She isn’t a f*****g club whore.”
There was no moving him. He was solid as a rock. A very heavily muscled, very angry saber toothed rock. And he wouldn’t budge. No matter how hard I pushed at him.
“Stop it Bat…..” I tried again.
“I know shes not a club girl Bat.” Bane held up his hand in surrender. And I flashed him a smile. Thank gd he was finally thinking before he spoke. “Believe me , me and the rest of the club would have hit that if she had been.”
Fuck.
Bane had meant it as a joke. I knew that. If Bat had been thinking clearly he would have known it as well. But when it came to me Bat ever thought clearly
Letting out a roar, that made the windows vibrate Bat launched himself forward. He didn’t barrel through me but only because I dove out of the way at the last minute. My ankle turned over and I tumbled backwards. My head smashed off the counter top and or a second I blacked out totally.
Landing on my ass with a thump I groaned.
That had f*****g hurt.
Using my hands I started to heave myself up. More than ready to give the two scrapping big cats a piece of my mind. My hand slipped from under me. Glancing down I wasn’t sure at first what I was seeing.
The red liquid coated my legs , pooling under me.
Blood.
I was bleeding.
I could do nothing but sit there and stare at Bat His meaty fists wrapped around Banes throat. They were still arguing. Totally oblivious to what had just happened.
“Bat.” I whispered. My voice sounded small and far away.
Pain ripped through my local stomach and I hunched my shoulders as my hands clutched at it.
Banes eyes widened, his hands slapping at Bats shoulders as he caught sight of me. “Shit.”
Slowly Bat turned, as I looked up at him, pleading with my eyes for him to help me. This much blood could only mean one thing.
I was losing the baby.
“Bat help me.”
