It's Wednesday again! That means more Benny and Yuri (and after last week, I knew I'd better deliver). This week my flash was inspired by the prompt: "Spread 'em." Enjoy!
Lost Inside Chapter 27
“What
in the hell are you doing to him?” Benny ran his fingers over the cuffs behind
his back. They were heavy duty. The Tiger taking his blood ignored him. Two big
guards both sniggered when his voice come out nasal.
Fuckers
broke his damn nose again.
Benny
spat at them, blood and spit spraying their boots. One hissed. The other
growled and kicked Benny in the stomach. He groaned, falling sideways, ripping
the needle out of his arm.
“What
the hell?” the Tiger snapped. “Stop kicking him until I’m done.”
The
guards glowered at him. The pain in Benny’s guts and the ribs he’d probably
cracked trying to fight the attackers off when they separated him from his mate
was eclipsed by the agony he could feel Yuri suffering through their bond. Why
were they taking his blood?
Benny
drew up his legs and crossed his ankles, trying to hide the bulge in his pants.
He was aroused and the throbbing of his cock added to his frustrated rage.
What
the hell was Sheshtun up to? Benny knew Yuri’s dad was up to something. He just
didn’t know what! He recognized the house they were in—the new Alpha of the
clan his was absorbed into had horrid taste. The place was a poorly decorative,
but monstrously expensive, nightmare.
“You
have enough samples. Take your little pads and vials, and go.”
“Not
if I have to create enough pheromones several females. Plus I need enough of
his blood to entice the subject.”
“Well
you can come back for more if you need it. We won’t let him bleed too much.”
The smaller guard leaned forward, a vicious gleam in his eyes. That one was
dangerous. Benny huddled back against the wall.
“There’s
something wrong with you,” the slender Tiger muttered.
“Watch
your mouth, sub.” One of the guards smacked him upside the head. He smacked
into the wall and groaned. Benny stiffened when the male opened up his eyes and
blinked several times, staring right at him.
Shit.
“What
are you doing? Sheshtun will kick our asses, or worse, take it out on our mates
if you screw up his plans.” The guards started arguing. Benny held his breath,
waiting to see if the male was able to see straight after the big Tiger had
tried to cave in his skull. If he saw…
“Wait,”
the doctor mouthed. Benny glared at him. He bowed his head, picking up the vial
he dropped and the other samples he’d collected. He stood and scooted sideways
toward the door. “Sorry.”
He
slipped out the door.
Benny
couldn’t wait. He had to find Yuri. The smaller guard turned his back to him,
still berating the other Tiger for risking Sheshtun’s wrath. Benny knew
first-hand how true that was, but before their clans had merged, the Alpha hadn’t
seemed so scary. What the hell had he done to the clan in the last year?
Soundlessly,
Benny curled up on his knees. He spread his fingers, flicking his claws out. The
element of surprise tipped the scales in his favor. Leaping at the guards,
Benny slammed into the small guard’s back. He lunged upward, digging his claws
into the neck of the bigger guard facing him, slamming his head against the
wall.
Blood
dripped from his fingers as Benny twisted. He’d spent hours at the gym using
the punching bag. He nearly roared when the cursing guard got in a lucky strike
and hit his broken nose. The crunch was audible.
The
fucker didn’t get another chance. Benny unleashed his fury and his fists. He
drove them into the Tiger’s face, aiming for the floor under him. The guard
went limp under him, his arms and legs sprawled loosely.
Benny
panted, kneeling over him. He snarled, bloodlust nearly taking him as he saw
red. He had to go. He didn’t have time to pay the fuckers back.
He
levered himself off the floor. There were bars on the window. He grabbed the
cuffs he’d unlocked and cuffed one wrist of each guard, running the chain
between the bars. That’d hold them for a bit, at least.
Opening
the door was a risk he had to take. He listened for guards outside. There’d
been four on him when they dragged him in there. He couldn’t hear anyone. Benny
cracked open the door. He winced at the loud click of the lock releasing. He
didn’t see anything, at first, but then a flash of white moved into the narrow
view he had of the hall.
He
burst out, snagging the male with both hands around his neck, cutting off his
air. He dragged the doc back into the room. “Where is my mate?” Benny snarled.
“They…
have him tied down in… can’t breathe.”
The Tiger’s voice was thin and raspy and choked off completely when Benny
flexed his hands.
“Where!
Where is he?”
He
tapped frantically at Benny’s hands, his face turning purple. He wasn’t mated,
so he had no claws or fangs to fight back, even if he wasn’t runt sized. Benny
eased up, though he wanted to slaughter every single Tiger in the entire
building.
“The
basement,” he wheezed.
“You
will take me to him.”
“I
will. I want to help. But… but take me with you. Please.” Benny narrowed his eyes at the fervent plea.
“If
you want to go, why don’t you just leave?” He leaned in. “Are you trying to
trick me?”
“No.
I don’t want to help him. I’m
submissive. I have no choice!”
Could
he trust the Tiger’s desperation? Benny didn’t have waffle. He shoved him
against the wall. “Spread ‘em!” He ripped off the doctor’s white coat and patted
him down. The smaller man eeped when Benny ran his hands up his legs.
“Shut
up!” He was clean. “Let’s go.”
“Now?”
“Yes,
now!”
“But
we have to get to my lab first. If we don’t… Sheshtun will just find another doctor
to threaten. No one’s mate will be safe!”

Wow, just wow. Man, that alpha really is nuts, isn't he?
ReplyDeleteWell, if you'll remember, I laid some hints in the beginning about the Tiger clans... but yes, Sheshtun is a tad off the rails. LOL
DeleteI'm glad that Benny got free, although his poor broken nose got another smashing. Wondering about those samples.
