Despair sank back into my heart. I wanted to kick myself for leaving her alone to open the door to the roof. She’d been worried when I headed up there alone, but I insisted I'd be okay. Forrest wouldn't have called me if he thought there was a risk. I trusted him. She had no choice but to let me leave. Hadshe locked the door behind me? I thought back, but I couldn't remember hearing a click. No slide of the bolt or chain.
She trusted it was all right because Forrest believed it was.
And now? I was safe and she wasn't. She could be anywhere right now, and here we were, talking about trophies.
"Hey." Leif wound his arms around me and pressed his face into the side of my neck. "She'll be okay. What we all need to do right now is get some rest."
"I don't think I can sleep," I said.
"Lie down and try?" he insisted. "If Forrest gets back here this afternoon and finds out you haven't rested, he's going to tear off my balls and Woody's, and stuff them down each other's throats."
"That's exactly what he'll do," Woody said. "I don't want to suck Leif's balls." He stuck his tongue out the side of his mouth in disgust.
"Back at you, bro," Leif said cheerfully. "I don't want to suck my own, either. In the interests of us not choking on our own testicles, will you please lie down and try to get some sleep?"
"For the sake of your balls, I could try," I conceded, although he might be exaggerating a little bit.
"For the sake of my balls too?" Woody asked.
"I don't know if I'd go that far," I teased.
I flashed him a faint smile before I toed off my sneakers and headed towards my bedroom. "You should get some rest too," I said over my shoulder.
"I was planning on it." Leif was right behind me.
"Couch doesn't look comfortable," Woody said, following us into my bedroom.
Fortunately, my bed was big enough for all of us, then some. If Forrest was here, he'd also fit. Ironic since I slept in one small section right to the left, leaving the rest of the covers untouched.
This time though, I lowered myself to my knees on the edge of the bed and crawled over to plop down in the middle. Leif lay on one side and Woody on the other.
"This is cozy," Leif said, curling up with his chest to my back. One arm draped over me.
"Yeah, it is," I agreed. I nestled into him, drawing comfort from his warm, firm body.
Woody left a couple of inches between us, but I drew comfort from him as well, even when he started to snore.
"I wish I could fall asleep that fast," I whispered.
"Tell me about it," Leif agreed. He sounded sleepy already, though.
I was tired, but my mind was turning in a million circles. How could I sleep when Savannah was out there somewhere? Scared. Alone. Not knowing what might happen to her and having no idea why.
When we found who did this to her, I might be the one ripping off balls and shoving them down people's throats.
CHAPTER 5
SABLE
I awoke with something hard pressed into my hip.
What the…
Oh. I was in the middle of my bed, a man on either side of me. Whose cock was that? I opened my eyes a crack to see Leif asleep in front of me.
Woody then. I wriggled my ass, making him groan.
"Fucking hell, woman," he muttered. "Are you trying to kill me?"
