He chuckled. “You know, she’s tougher than she was just a month ago. I’ll give her that. But she’s still just a weak, scared, confused little deer.”
“You won’t lay a finger on her. Do you hear me!?”
My head jolted to the side as one of the guys backhanded me across my cheek.
“How easy do you think it will be to make her crack, Max? I mean, really? Because I’m thinking neither of my guys will get a hit in before she starts singing louder than she does in bed with you.”
I lunged at him, straining against my bonds. I felt my wrists cracking open and my ankles bleeding. My ass almost got out of the chair as I growled at him. Benji grinned at me.
“Wow, what a show. You’re really good at it. But I think we’ll just have to look at her funny and she’ll break. Like a piece of glass. And then the real fun will begin.”
“I will slaughter you all. Do you hear me!?”
“It’s a nice little hope, isn’t it? Thinking you can defend some girl who squeezes your cock nice like that. But really, Max. What are you going to do in your current predicament? I mean, even if you could get out of this place, what kind of condition are you in to go after her?”
I fell back into the chair as sweat dripped down my brow. Every cut and every wound it dripped over only added to my pain. I heard the men snarling. Chuckling. Practically drooling for another slice of me. And as I closed my eyes, I wracked my brain as to how the fuck I was going to get myself out of this situation.
So I could get to Dani.
“She should’ve never gotten that tattoo, Max. Such a mistake on her part. And yours. If she’d stayed away we wouldn’t have had to drag her into this. Why did you drag her into this, anyway?”
I shook my head. “You’ll never find her.”
He snickered. “What makes you think we already haven’t?”
Fucking hell, I wanted to cry. “I’m sure the guys already have her safe somewhere. You’ll have to tear through all of them before you get to her.”
“Max, you’re so stupid.”
My eyes flew up to him as he walked toward me.
“We were going to take all of your men out, anyway,” he said.
I lunged at him, baring my teeth. He didn’t move quickly enough and I sank my mouth against his cheek. I bit down deep and felt his blood in my mouth. The rabid animal finally came loose and I felt the men pulling me back.
“Get him off! Get him off me!”
Benji’s shrieks were music to my ears.
“Off, off, get him off, you stupid fuckers!”
The men finally yanked me back and the sound of ripping skin followed me. I watched Benji grab his cheek as blood dripped into his hand. One of the men gripped my cheeks. The other pried my mouth open. And when I had my chance, I spat the piece of Benji’s cheek at him before I grinned.
With that bastard’s blood dripping down my chin.
“I’m off,” I said with a chuckle.
Benji growled. “That’s it. No loose ends. You hear me? They’re all dead, including that stupid cock-hugger of yours. By the time I’m done with all of this, every single one of you will be in a casket. But not before I fuck her first. Just to see what the fuck has you so goddamn addicted!”
I chuckled. “Well, you know what they say about family bonds.”
He paused. “What’s that?”
I snapped the rope around my wrists. “They can be broken in a second.”
I stood to my feet as Benji’s eyes widened. The straining and the distractions were enough to loosen them. I felt my feet wiggling free as the men came at me. I wrapped my hands around the back of their heads, knocking them together. Benji stumbled back in fear. I reached down and untied my ankles as the men in black struggled to get up from the ground. Their gold fucking rings wouldn't help them this time around.
Not with the fury already balling up my fists.
