black.
Her last thought was that she needed to see Drake and Quill again.

D rake was finally able to pull Quill back to the apartment after a lot of coaxing and almost forcibly dragging him back. Once it sank in that Drake and Quill both being out meant Tara was home alone, without someone watching her, he became a lot more agreeable, despite his protests that there were still a lot of people he could help at the scene of the accident only a few blocks from their loft.
“I can’t believe you left her here alone,” Quill huffed as they waited in the elevator.
“I can’t believe you left without me. How many times do I have to tell you it’s not safe? That something could happen,” Drake said, trying to control his temper. He wasn’t looking forward to the conversation they were assuredly going to have once they got back in the loft with Tara.
She knew so little about them and their world still. About the dangers of being a dragon, or worse, being mated to a dragon.
When they arrived at the entrance to their apartment, something felt off. The door was unlocked, but Drake thought it might just be a coincidence and he’d forgotten to lock it in his hurry to get Quill.
No, he would never forget something like that.
Drake opened the door, and Quill went in without another word.
“Tara, we’re home,” he called out to the apartment.
No answer.
“Maybe she’s just taking a nap?” Drake said, looking into the bathroom. No one there.
Quill hurried into the bedroom and then came back out a few seconds later. “Not in ours or in hers. Not in the office, either.”
They hadn’t even been gone half an hour. Where could she possibly be?
Drake looked around for a note or anything signifying she’d intentionally gone out, trying to hold back the rush of adrenaline that came with the worry that someone had taken her.
He’d already begun to think of her as their mate. Had worried about her, especially when she mentioned her asshole ex. Had wanted to protect her, maybe even forever if she’d let him.
“This is your fault,” Drake pointed at Quill, angry.
“No use getting too heated up over it. What’s done is done. We just need to find our mate now ,” Quill said, checking through her business things and emails to see if there were any clues.
“This wouldn’t have happened if—” Drake was cut off by a ding and two buzzes coming from his pocket. It was his phone, a text from someone. Drake had only ten or so contacts on his phone, so texts were a very rare thing.
We have the lady. Come get her before she changes her mind about being with you.
It was from Gentry. Quill came over and Drake showed him the text.
“Well, at least we know she’s safe,” Quill said with a sigh of relief.
Drake scoffed. “Hardly. They may act like gentlemen, but I don’t trust either of them. Especially Sterling, conniving little bastard.” Drake gripped his phone tightly, and for a second, it felt like it might break in his hand.
“Let’s go get her, then,” Quill said, sounding urgent.
“Let’s,” Drake said under his breath. He was pissed, so very pissed that they would pull a stunt like that, taking his mate out from under his care. She was his to protect, not theirs. If she were hurt, there would be hell to pay.
They headed to the rooftop and flew off to where their boss and his partner lived.

T ara awoke to the smell of expensive fragrances wafting around her. She opened her eyes and realized she wasn’t at home. At least not her new home with Quill and Drake.
She suddenly remembered the two men that broke into their apartment and abducted her.
She bolted up, looking for the door. Then she felt her body freeze in place, held by invisible bonds.
“Now, now, no need to be so hasty. You have no clue where you even are. What good would going outside be?” She heard a voice, vaguely familiar.
Tara turned and saw the two men from before. Sterling and Gentry.
“If Sterling releases you,
