he muttered
as he pulled out his phone.
Margot opened her hazel eyes and nodded. “Oui. We do,” she
agreed.

Margot sat on the bed and watched TV while Quinn went out
into the hall to call Peter. Her ankle was throbbing so badly. She did not
think she has ever injured herself like this before, but she panicked, and
those men were much stronger than she was. She did whatever she could to get away. Never in a million
years did she think that could have happened while walking the tourist-filled
streets of London, but she guess it could happen anywhere. The sun started to
go down and they grabbed her so fast. She didn’t even have the chance to
scream; she tried once they were in the alley, but the big oaf smashed his
disgusting lips against hers. Brut! She really needed to brush her teeth and scrub the skin off
her lips.
Thank all that was holy that Quinn showed up when he did
because there was no way she was going to get away from those two men. She for
sure would have been raped, if not worse. Margot shivered, she could not even
think about it. Quinn returned a moment later looking more sullen than normal.
“Did you talk to Peter?” she asked.
“I did, he is getting tickets for us as we speak,” he
murmured.
Margot sighed in relief. “Good.”
Quinn nodded and checked the ice on her ankle, before he
climbed onto the bed next to her and settled against the headboard. After watching
a few shows, and half of a movie, Quinn decided he was going to go to sleep.
First, he removed the ice and put it in the bathroom sink, and then he grabbed
the extra blanket from the closet and lay on the floor again. She didn’t even
bother arguing with him because she knew there was no point; he would not
listen to her.
Margot turned the light out, settled down, and tried to fall
asleep. It was not easy, but eventually exhaustion took over and pulled her
under. She had no idea how long she had been asleep before she started having a
horrible nightmare, and she just could not seem to wake up. She was back in the
alley with the two men, they tore all of her clothes off, she was screaming and
fighting, but her arms and legs were so heavy that she could barely move them.
“Margot!” Quinn’s
voice came from somewhere, but she could not see him. “Margot, sweetheart, wake
up.”
Margot’s eyes flew open but it was dark in the room and she
could not see who was hovering over her. She screamed and tried to fight off
whoever it was. Strong hands clasp the sides of her head.
“Margot, calm down, it’s me,” Quinn said sharply.
Margot panted as she forced herself to relax. She grabbed
onto Quinn’s wrists to make sure that he was real and she was not still
dreaming. His concerned gaze raked over her face.
“Are you okay?” he asked.
“Oui, sorry, I was having a nightmare,” she whispered in
return.
He nodded. “I know, you were screaming and thrashing in your
sleep.”
Quinn released her head and laid his body out next to hers.
“I am sorry for waking you,” Margot said. She took a deep
breath, trying to calm her racing heart.
“It’s okay,” he murmured. He wrapped his arm around her waist, snuggling his face into
the pillow he laid down.
“What are you doing?” asked Margot curiously.
“Going back to sleep?”
“You do not have to stay here with me if you do not want
to.”
“Shh, go back to sleep,” was his reply.
Margot shrugged to herself then turned so that she could
press her back against his front. Quinn tugged her closer and nuzzled his face
into the back of her neck. She sighed and relaxed even further. It felt so good
to be in Quinn’s arms again; hopefully, having him close would help her sleep
better and ward off further nightmares.

Christian and Shea were sitting at the bar in their favorite
hangout spot, Mac’s Tavern. It was pretty dead in
as he pulled out his phone.
Margot opened her hazel eyes and nodded. “Oui. We do,” she
agreed.
