Page 60 of Jared

Bile rose even as Bob's member slid past his lips. Jared gagged as he vomited around it.

“Shit!” Bob's cock disappeared from Jared's mouth and the hands let go.

A punch landed on the back of his head.

“Disgusting whore! Look what you did. Should make you lick every bit of that up! Bob, take his shirt off and use that to wipe you up, then make him suck you good and proper.”

“Ugh, lost my erection now.”

“Well, wipe up. I'm sure you'll get it back.”

The darkness threatened to overwhelm Jared again. He fell forward, heedless of the bulk of his belly, falling slightly to one side. He barely registered his t shirt being ripped from around his shoulders and someone shifting him over to a vomit free section of floor. He shivered. He felt a hand twist in his hair painfully while another gripped his right hip. A growl cut across the silence of the moment, giving his attacker pause. The hands released him.

“Back away,” Jared heard.

Danny? He's found me? Jared curled up on himself. Please don't be a dream.

“You, you were just a-” Ray sputtered.

“A wolf. Yes. Now back away from Jared or you'll find out first hand just what my wolf can do.”

Jared whimpered.

“It's okay, Jared. It's me, Danilo. I'm here and you're going to be all right. I can't speak for what is going to happen to these two, though.”

It really is Danilo. Danny found me. As relief overtook him, Jared passed out.

Jared came to, blinking his eyes to try to clear the blurriness.

“Thank God you're awake.” Steve's face came into focus leaning over him.

A look of confusion crossed Jared's face. “You're okay and so is the baby. We're in our room, here on our packlands, ” Steve reassured him.

Memories came flooding back. The tea shop. He'd been at the tea shop with Alice, Tim, and Danilo when he'd gone to the bathroom. He gasped suddenly, his hands tightening into fists.

“Easy, now,” Steve said, patting his hand. “You're safe. Danilo got the guys.Tim had the tea shop manager raise the alarm when he realized neither you nor Danilo had come back, and he discovered the extra two scents. He and several of the townspeople followed the trail. Those two are currently prisoners of the Fae court awaiting a joint council trial. They brought you here and fetched me and the doc.I promise you, everything is fine.”

Ray and Bob were caught.

“Did they..?” He looked away, unable to meet his lover's gaze.

Steve placed a gentle hand against one cheek, gently turning him so that he faced him once more. “No,” he said softly. “Danilo stopped them before they could.”

“Sorry.”

“For what? It's not your fault. You didn't ask them to do any of it.”

“Alone.” Jared cleared his throat. “I shouldn't have gone to the bathroom alone.”

“Probably not,” Steve agreed. “But I probably would have agreed to let you, same as Danilo and Tim. I'd never have thought they'd get all the way into town and be right there in the tea shop restroom. It was against the odds.”

He's not mad at me. Thank God. I feel so stupid though.

Steve let go and caressed the side of his cheek with the back of his hand. “You rest here. I'm going to let everyone know you're awake.”

Jared nodded, closed, his eyes, and prayed to not see the faces of tormentors behind his lids. He heard Steve's footsteps as he crossed the room to the door, the soft snick of the door opening and then closing. As Steve's footsteps faded, Jared took a deep breath. The two men were in custody. His nightmare was over. Surely the council would find them guilty. He was safe. Jared's hands caressed his belly, feeling a reassuring push against one palm as a foot or hand pressed outwards towards him. Jared smiled. Their baby was okay. Now he just had to get through the trial, get married, step up as the official Alpha Mate, and give birth. He smiled wryly to himself, opening his eyes.

“Piece of cake,” he told himself out loud.
