Page 113 of The Saviors: Part One

“That’s what I do best. Did you know Chelsea has cameras inallthese rooms, and she can check whenever she wants to?”

Nolan tries to cover up, but Axel knocks his hand away with a grin. “You better tell her to get a nice long look, then.”Oh, trust me, I am.

“She said she thought your dick would be bigger, Axel.”

“No, I didn’t!” I exclaim, giving away that I was sitting here with Sean. If Sean’s grin is anything to go by, that’s exactly what he wanted. Cole and Nolan start roaring with laughter.

Axel jumps from the bed, and my mouth goes dry. “Cole wasn’t complaining a little bit ago.” Axel rubs his palm across his cock. “Want to come have a look up close, Cupcake?”

“Oh,” I breathe, making Sean laugh.

“If you creepers are done creeping, we’re going to go shower,” Cole chuckles and pulls Nolan to stand. “You should be ashamed of yourselves.” They all disappear, and I turn to Sean.

“You live to embarrass me, don’t you?”

“You make it so easy. You have cameras in the bathrooms?” He waggles his brows, and I can’t help but laugh at him.

“No, you freak, I don’t.”

“That’s a shame. You’re missing out on all that water and soap running down their hot toned bodi—”

I shove my hand in his face to stop him from speaking. “Stop it.” I push off his lap and head toward the door. I jerk it open and smile to myself when I hear Sean get up to follow me. We both step into the hallway, and his phone rings.

“What’s up, Godzilla?” Sean listens to what Kai is saying, and I watch his demeanor change from playful to deadly serious. “Yeah, I’ll grab the guys.” He hangs up, and dread fills me with the way he’s looking at me. “Do you have lockdown mode for your security system?”

“Yes. What’s going on?”

“I’ll explain later. I need you to wait until we get outside and then go into lockdown with Nolan until we come back in.” He kisses me, pushes me gently into my office, and shuts the door.

I go to the computer and watch as he runs into the room where Axel, Cole, and Nolan are. The background noise from the shower is blocking out anything they’re saying. I’m pacing the room minutes later when Nolan comes in and shuts the door behind him. He nods, and I stab the button that will lock the entire house down.

“What’s going on?” I ask with a quiver in my voice.

“I’ll explain in a second.” He gently squeezes my arm and sits down in the chair in front of the computer. He pulls me down in the chair beside him. “Does this record?”

I nod. “It does.”

“How far back?”

“It keeps everything. When it gets full, it dumps it onto my external hard drive, but it usually goes back three or four days before it does that.”

“Good.” Nolan starts typing at lightning speed, and I can’t keep up with what he’s doing. “I’m hacking into the system to look for any discrepancies. It’s quicker than going back through all the footage.”

“What kind of discrepancies?”

Nolan sighs. “It looks like someone tried to get onto the property on the north side.”

“What?” I whisper. I’ve always felt safe here, untouchable, but all of that is going up in smoke. “Why didn’t the motion detectors go off?”

“That’s what I’m looking for now.” He stabs one more button and sits back in the chair. “That’s why.”

He motions to the screen, and all the cameras last night went offline at the same time, as did the motion detectors. It takes some heavy-duty equipment to penetrate my security measures, and someone managed to do just that. I feel bile rise in my throat and almost jump out of my skin when Nolan touches my arm.

“Sorry,” I mutter. “No one should be able to get past all this.”

“We’ll figure it out, Chelsea. I promise. They aren’t going to let anything happen to you. I’m going to see if I can override it.”

“You can do that?”
