A/N: Thank you everyone!!!
Chapter 16
Stephanie's POV
The door slammed back open and Trouble and I jumped to our feet. Bowman grabbed my arm and drug me out into the hallway, with Trouble not too far behind.
"I wanted to have some fun with you before this night ended. I lost my temper when you said Monoso wasn't coming but actually that just gives us more time to be together right?"
I don't like the sound of this. "Together? " We were walking rapidly to a room upstairs. I glanced behind me to see if Trouble was with us , I saw he was. He gave me a sad look, like he knew what was coming.
"You have plenty of admirerers don't you? I see Ken here has taken a liking to you already, are you hoping for a shot with her too?"
I heard him hiss, trying to control his temper. "Yes." He kept the answer short, I guess so he didn't give away how angry he was. As I was dragged through the hallway I looked around and took stock of the surroundings. I could see posters of women on the walls, and it looked like the room we were walking in to had a pole. Oh good, we were at an abandoned strip club! That's a new one. Finally we got to our destination, it looked like where the VIP room would have been when the club was open. There was a bed in the middle of the room, and a dress laying on it.
"I got you a little something for our night. I want you to wear it." He released the grip he had on my upper arm and I could feel the bruise already starting. I went to the bed and picked up the outfit , if it had been any other circumstance I probably would have been thrilled to wear it. Looked expensive, black and short. The shoes sitting on the floor were 4 inch FMP 's , I had a pair in my closet at Rangeman.
"Sure, I can wear that. Is there a bathroom I can change in or….?" Or hide until my boys came to get me… my stomach dropped at the look Bowman gave me.
"You can change right here. I'll be outside, you have 5 minutes. Ken will watch." He turned around and walked out. I caught a glimpse of at least two other guards standing outside before he shut the door again .
Trouble waited til the door was completely shut before striding over to me and giving me a hug. "Just do what he says Steph, until the boys show up. They'll be here soon I'm sure of it." He stepped back and turned around to try and give me some resemblance of privacy.
I nodded , a lump stuck in my throat. I changed quickly and tapped Trouble on the shoulder when it was safe to turn around, I needed his help with the zipper. I could hear his voice crack when he spoke to me again as he zipped me up. "For what it's worth, you look good in this dress."
I couldn't help it, I started to cry. I wanted Bobby and my boys. I wanted to be far away from here, although Trouble was nice enough I just wanted to be back on vacation. Maybe this time we could go some where tropical. I felt the tears fall down my cheeks and I heard my guard make a noise in his throat.
"Shit Stephanie I'm sorry. I didn't mean-" he was interrupted when Bowman came back in the room .
I turned away from the door so he couldn't see my cheeks and wiped the tears quickly away, then turned back towards him. The look he was giving me made my skin crawl.
"Oh yes, this will do nicely. Ken, stay outside, I want to enjoy Ms. Plum alone." I gave Trouble a pleading look but he just nodded and walked outside, shutting the door behind him. Bowman started stalking towards me, making me back up until the backs of my legs hit the bed. "Don't run away from me Ms. Plum, that will just make me more angry."
Panic struck me and I got very still. He stroked my cheek with his fingers and I resisted the urge to throw up. He pushed me back onto the bed , pinning my already red wrists above my head with one hand. His breath was hot on the side of my face, and I tried to turn away from him but he grabbed my chin with his free hand and turned it towards him. I knew what was coming , and I was praying the guys showed up before it happened.
Hector's POV
I let out a low growl as I watched Estephania being man handled by Bowman. I waited too long. "GO. NOW." I called through the comms to the group, and I could hear their voices yelling, then their bodies on the video as they started sweeping through the building. Giving the men directions I let them know where the guards were that needed to be taken out, and let the core team know where florecita was. I breathed a sigh a relief when I saw them outside the room.
Trouble's POV
I was biding my time , standing outside the door to the room that held Stephanie and Bowman when I saw a mob of men in black round the corner. I didn't have a gun so I grabbed one of the men in front of me around the neck with my arm when he was distracted , disarming him quickly. The other guard was taken out by the men approaching, and I raised my hands to show I wasn't a threat.
"Maines? " A large black man who looked to be the leader approached. I nodded and pointed to the door behind me.
"Stephanie is in there with Bowman." I heard growling coming from all four of the men, and I understood their frustration. I counted to three before kicking in the door and the group of us flooded the room.
Stephanie's POV
I heard the door down open and breathed a sigh of relief. My guys had come! Bowman was distracted enough by the crashing of the door and the surge of men in black coming through into the room that he released my hands and I delivered a right hook against his face. Then I rolled off the bed and landed on the ground, making myself as small as possible. I could hear voices yelling and made our "Keep him alive!" before I felt a hand on my back. I flinched for a second but looked up into worried chocolate eyes.
"Bobby!" I lunged forward, wrapping my arms around his neck, hanging on for dear life. Everything else faded away as I heard his voice in my ear .
"I've got you sweetheart. I promise, I've got you. "
