“What?” Cole barked, spinning to look at the settlement.
“Kisma and Maku will make her unseen, just as they did when she entered your compound. She has gone to see if Ice and the other warriors are there.”
Shaking his head, Cane turned back to focus on the sand. He narrowed his eyes when he spotted the tiny indents in the sand from where Amy walked.
“Why would she go there without us? Without speaking to us about it?”
“Because she knew you would say no. Our Amy often does what she wants.” Emi said, stretching out on the sand as she panted from the heat.
“I swear, that female needs her ass spanked,” Cane grumbled, then regretted it the moment he said it when Cole filled his head with Amy bent over a table, her bare ass in the air and each of them on either side of her rosy cheeks.
“Cole!” he growled, pinning his brother with a look.
Cole smiled, “It was your idea.”
Cane shook his head, needing to shift on the sand to ease the tightness in his pants at the vivid image of their mate and the memory of what they had done together earlier.
“Stop!” Cole whispered in a harsh voice, groaning as he adjusted himself.
Cane smiled, deliberately sending out the way Amy had felt in his arms, her tight core wrapped around the sensitive receptors on his cyborg finger, the way she had scented…
I’m going to kick your ass for this, Cane!
No you won’t, brother. You enjoy it just as much as I do.
Cole let out a heavy sigh, then turned back to the settlement.
Worry filled him when they lost sight of the footprints in the sand.
“Kisma?” Cane asked, gripping the thin bracelet on his wrist. He waited, but no reply came.
Growling in frustration at not knowing what was happening to his mate, Cane shifted lower on the sand and waited.
It was almost an hour later when Amy appeared behind them, covered in the black suit they had seen her in before.
“Amy!” Cane growled, getting to his feet, and marching over to her. He stopped short when the mask moved off her face and he saw the horrified look in her eyes. Tears spilled from her lashes and her face was so pale, he worried she would pass out.
“What happened?”
She blinked up at him, more tears spilling from her eyes. “Oh, God, Cane. They… They butchered him.. They cut him open and took out all his insides.. They were… They…”
She didn’t finish that sentence. She bent to the side and threw up the food she had eaten on the walk.
Cane gripped her around the waste, holding her as she sobbed, her body heaving.
“Amy,” Iron said, coming down the dune. His whole body was tense and the look of terror in his eyes made Cane’s anger rise. “What did you find?”
Amy wiped at her mouth, smiling her thanks to Cole when he handed her a cup of water. She rinsed her mouth out, drank the rest down and met his eyes.
“I saw Ice and the others. There are four of them locked in cages in that camp.”
“Four? Where are the rest?”
She shook her head, her whole body trembling in his arms.
“It’s alright, Amy. Tell us.”
“They have two men strapped up on some kind of cross. They removed all their enhancements and they were… They were eating them, Iron. One of the men is dead. His whole chest and stomach are cut open and empty. The other one is still alive, but…”
