Chapter 73: Chapter 73

She pulls back and looks at me, there's lust in her eyes but also something else... I don't quite know but she's feeling this just as hard as iam. I notice her eyes shift to behind me and shock is evident on her face as her mouth pops open and her eyes bug out of her head.

What is wrong? I go to look behind me and everything goes black to the sound of Nicky's screams.

When I come too my heads killing me, it's pounding and my vision takes a minute to clear. What the fuck happened? I groan and try to move but can't, my hands are tied behind my back. I look frantically around for Nicky and see her sitting just across from me, her hands also tied.

Her eyes are closed, shes still knocked out, I also notice she has a little dried blood that's dripped down the side of her head and a gash on her cheek. I'll fucking kill whoever did this.

"Nicky, babygirl?" I say trying to get her to wake up.

"She won't answer you just yet, she's been knocked out cold." A man's voice sounds and then he comes into view.

He's not as tall as me or as built but he looks like a nasty prick, that's for sure. His teeth, or what are left that are showing are yellow and gross, his shirt is old so are his pants and shoes, a few other guys come out from the bushes, a total of 6.

We're outnumbered but I won't let them hurt her.

"Who the fuck are you?" I growl.

"I'm Trevor, nice to meet you. I have to say, looking around here it looks like youve been here for a while. Funny thing is this is the first time we've seen the fire from our ship. So we had to stop in and see." The ring leader says with a little laugh.

"What do you want?" I grit.

"Well, we just wanted to see if there was anything valuable here, turns out there's nothing, well there is something." He says and puts his beady little eyes on my Nicky.

"Don't you even think about it." I growl at him.

I'm wriggling with my binds and gritting my teeth so hard it's hurting when Nicky starts to stirr.

"Wh..what the hell?" She struggles out.

"Drew... Drew?!" She calls out frantically until her eyes find me, and find the men off to my side. Her eyes go round with fear and I hate that she's scared, I hate that she feels this way.

"Well hello there, sweet thing." Trevor says to Nicky.

"Wh..who are y.yy.you?" Nicky asks.

"Like I just said to your little friend here, the names Trevor. We're pirates and we stopped in to see what treasures lie here, turns out the treasure is most abundant." He says looking at her breasts.

Fucking disgusting pig, I'll fucking gut him.

Nicky looks back over to me and she looks absolutely terrified, tears are starting to form in her eyes and I need to figure out a way to keep her safe.

"Whats gunna happen now is, we're gunna go. We're leaving, and we're taking the little treasure." Trevor says making a move towards Nicky. She starts to wriggle around, trying to get out of her binds but they don't budge.

"DONT YOU FUCKING DARE TOUCH HER!" I roar at him. He just smiles and squats behind her, pulling a knife out to hold her compliant. Nicky thrashes about though, I manage to get one of my hands free from the binds and get up, charging towards Trevor.

I see the fishing knife right next to the fire that Trevor is standing infront of so I make a move for it but I'm tackled to the ground by one of the other men.

"Drew!" Nicky screams.

We scuffle for a moment and I manage to get loose, crawling as fast as I can towards the knife, I grab it and push it into Trevor's neck, blood spurts out all over my face and blinds me for a second before I blink it away enough to see. I immediately turn around and go for Nicky, cutting her binds, I look up and see Another man is coming right for us, and I notice a gun in his holster.

He goes to pull it out but I'm quicker, I move in front of Nicky, shielding her and holding the guys hand over his holster so he can't pull it out and then I throw my head into his, hearing a nice crunch sound.

I then use the knife to stab into his chest, pulling it out and watching his body drop. I'm ready for the next one but he's quick to pull his gun out, he aims right at me and I manage to duck out of the way fast enough.

"Hide, Nicky!" I yell to her and see her run behind the other side of the plane. I look around for something to use as a weapon and notice Trevors gun is attacked to his hip still so I crawl over and grab it, cocking it, aiming and shooting at the first guy i see.

Theres 3 more to go but they've all got out their guns and have begun shooting. I need to get to Nicky first so I run and duck for cover, I'm not far from where she's hiding so I crawl and jump over to her.

"Babygirl, I need to to run, run as fast as you can and don't let go of my hand ok?" I say as i grab her hand and we make a run for it into the jungle.

Bushes and branches snap back into us as we push them away, I can hear their footsteps behind us and mine and Nicky's breath, panting.

Bullets start shooting passed us, hitting tree trunks, leaves, everything but us, thankfully.

We run and run until we find a cave, I've been here before and know where I can hide Nicky before I can deal with these guys.

I push her into a crevice where she won't be seen and tell her to stay quiet. I run and hide behind some bushes, waiting for them.

They come running around the corner a minute later and I stealthily come up on them stabbing one in the throat and running to hide again.

I can hear him gurgling for his life while the others shout to look out.

"Keep your eyes out, this guy is crazy." One of them says.

I sneak up behind him and holding his head in one hand and slice his throat with the other. Blood spurts out as I let him drop to the jungle floor.

I turn around and the last guy comes out of nowhere, grabbing me around the neck and starts to choke me, I'm trying to get free but he's got a good grip.

My lungs start to hurt and my vision goes blurry, just as I'm about to pass out I hear a thudding sound and he let's me go, falling to the ground.

I'm sucking in deep breaths, and my vision comes back, I look behind me and see Nicky is standing there with a huge rock in her hands she's breathing so fast, looks like shes going to go into shock.

I turn around and grab her pulling her to me so i can hug her, feel her close to me.

I feel this overwhelming, primal, possessiveness inside me, I've killed. I killed those men and while it hasn't quite sunk in yet, I'm sure it will later when the adrenalin has worn off. I'm sure guilt will show its face too. But right now I don't feel anything but this primal, protectiveness for my woman.
