finally moved , trying to close the door , but he was to o late. He used his full weight to knock Dr. Bascombe back into the room and pinned him easily. He put one of his big paws against the man’s neck and pressed down , cutting o f f his air. He felt no pity as the doctor tried to breath beneath him.
    “Stavros ! Oh G od , please tell me that’s you.”
    Her voice made him turn and he saw her bound to the cot in the room. Her face looked bruised and her arms were tied in an uncomfortable position above her head. He snarled and put his face right into Dr. Bascombe’s and showed his teeth. The doctor whimpered in fear.
    “We got him , Stav . S hift and go help your girl,” Kale said. Stavros moved his body and Kale pressed the muzzle of his gun right against Dr. Bascombe’s chest. “ Don’t move , because I have a kinda hair trigger here . If I shoot you with my gun pressed so close to your chest , I don’t think you can fix that , doc.”
    Stavros shifted as quickly as he could. Naked or not , he rushed over to free Amari. He got her hands free and pulled her against his naked chest. Holding her tight and inhaling her scent, he felt relief fill him . S he was alive and safe in his arms.
    “Are you hurt?” he asked , cupping her cheeks.
    “He slapped me around some, my wrists and ankles are bruised from the rope but nothing to o bad . H e’s really a pussy . H e wanted to play big man for the guys out there , b ut eventually he would’ve made one of t hem hurt me more,” she admitted and rushed on. “I’m so glad to see you, Stavros . I’ m , so sorry about what I said. I love you and you weren’t being a coward. You r dad messed you up , and I should have understood that and been more patient. I made a promise that if I got out of this I was going to apologize to you first thing and tell you how much I love you . S o much.”
    Stavros kissed her hard. “You don’t have to apologize to me for anything. You gave me the kick in the pants I needed. I went to my team and we came to get you. I love you , too, my Amari, my mate. You gave me a reason to live , and I should kill him for even putting his hands on your skin.”
    “Don’t worry , if he twitches I ’ll blow his arm off . W ould that help ?” Kale asked.
    Stavros laughed but never took his eyes away from Amari. “That sounds good, Kale . M eet Amari. Honey , this is my buddy Kale.”
    “Hiya , doll . ” Kale winked.
    “Nice to meet you,” Amari replied. “Um … shouldn’t you put some clothes on?”
    “I will . Kale has my pack,” Stavros answered. “ When we get out in the outer room , there’s a black bear out there . D on’t be scared. That’s Malachi , and Zander is dressed like Kale here. The rest of the team is outside.”
    “Heads up . H ere’s your gear . ” Kale kicked the pack toward him. “Besides , we’ve seen his scrawny behind naked more than once. Still not impressed.”
    “Bite me,” Stavros growled. “ Do I talk smack about you in front of your wife?”
    “You haven’t met her yet,” Kale pointed out.
    Dr. Bascom b e took a chance at that very time when Kale’s attention was turned to roll away and scramble for the door. He was on his feet and running for his freedom. Without hesitation , Stavros stopped the pack with his foot , and in one smooth movement pulled one of his knives from the sheath. He rolled and let it fly from his hands , and it sailed through the door and into Dr. Bascombe’s shoulder. He went down with a scr e am of pain and claw ed at the metal blade in his back .
    “Good shot,” Kale said.
    Stavros shook his head. “Nope , I missed . I was going for his spine. Now I can get dressed.”
    By the time he was clothed and led Amari out side, the rest of the team was in the boathouse where they had the other two thugs secured. Zander was dealing with Bascombe’s wound and none to gently. Stavros introduced Amari around and then she stood in front of Casey with her hand s
