Page 119 of Beta Team-The Saviors: Part One

Chelsea: Shut. The. Fuck. Up. Gavin?! Sweet, innocent-looking Gavin?

Bridget: You can’t hear me but I just snorted so fucking loud. Gavin is FAR from innocent. He is Ghost’s brother.

Kira: Keon pulls me down on his lap to watch. Fully clothed. He kept rubbing me through my pants, whispering how sexy I was, and asking me um…how…*water emoji* I was.

Bridget: Don’t be shy. He was asking how wet you were.

I hear Kira laughing from the other room, and one of the guys asking her what’s so funny.

Jason: While Ari was fucking Tyler, Gavin fucked me.

Kira: And I fucked Keon.

Bridget: Holy shit. *fans self*

Chelsea: So, is Gavin like what Tyler said?

Jason: A hundred percent. He was squeezing my throat and growling things in my ear.

Les: I got tingles.

Kira: Jay, don’t forget what you and Tyler were doing.

Evie: There’s more?!

Jason: We were giving each other a helping hand.

Bridget: I could write some damn good porn stories from this chat, and we could be billionaires.

“Hey, Sweet cheeks.” My head jerks up at Ari’s voice, and for some reason, I guiltily slide my phone into my pocket. He frowns. “Talking to your other boyfriend?”

I sigh. “No. I was talking to the girls in the group chat.”

“Wait,” Ari laughs. “You got added? The other guys are going to flip shit. They’ve been trying to get in there forever. Kira in it, too?”

“Uh, yeah.”

“What do you guys talk about in there?” Before I have to come up with a lie, the timer on the oven goes off. I gladly turn around and pull the pizzas out. When I turn back around from setting them on the counter, Ari’s standing right behind me.

“Just…stuff.”

“Just stuff,” Ari repeats doubtfully.

“Yeah.” I shove at his chest playfully, and he doesn’t move an inch. “It’s between us girls.”

Ari smiles and pecks my lips. “I’m glad you have them to talk to. I’m also glad you and Kira have each other.” He kisses me again. “I love you.”

“I love you too.”

I’ll never get tired of hearing that from him.

After lunch,Ari asked if I needed anything from my apartment before they grabbed Professor North, or whatever his name was, because they weren’t sure what was going to happen.

On the way there, Ari checks to make sure I’m okay after last night. With a roll of my eyes, I tell him that I’m fine. That just made him say that he was going to spank me for rolling my eyes at him. When he pulls up in front of the apartment, he makes me wait in the truck for him to sweep it. He said it shouldn’t take him more than ten minutes to make sure the whole place was safe, so when it starts creeping up to fifteen minutes, I start getting nervous.

Instead of getting out of the truck to check because I know he’ll yell at me, I pull my phone out. But when I dial his number, it rings inside the truck. I look in the console under the dash, where he usually lays it, and sure enough, it’s right there.

“Damn it,” I mutter, unsure of what to do. What if something happened to him? What the hell was I going to do?
