I run after her.
My pants are still undone as I chase her.
I grab the doorknob and turn, but it doesn’t open.
She locked it.
“Huntress?” I ask through the door.
I wait for her to answer.
She doesn’t.
I press my hand against the door as I feel the seconds ticking by. Our time to choose is ending.
If we both want to continue the game, we’ll end up fucking each other. It’s what I want, what I need, but I didn’t want it this way.
But nothing between Liesel and me is ever what I want.
Five minutes tick by before Liesel opens the door.
She’s not surprised I’m standing here. She knew.
She knew I was here. She knew and chose to keep the door shut.
Her eyes are full of apology.
I nod.
“Ready?” I ask.
“Are you?”
I have no fucking idea. The woman I’ve wanted all my life is about to agree to fuck me in a wicked game. I have no idea how to feel about that.
A soft smile spreads on her lips as she reads my thoughts.
“Me too,” she says, and then she walks past me. Her hips sway extra hard, like she’s trying to seduce me.
Although, she’s had me under her spell since I was thirteen. She doesn’t need to try to get me to fuck her. All she has to do is say yes.
I walk down the hallway, redoing my pants even though I know they are probably going to be ripped from my body soon.
What will it feel like to fuck Liesel? Like a fucking atomic bomb going off.
Liesel walks back into the room two seconds before I do. The setup is the same, but now Phoenix and Waylon are gone. I should be worried about Phoenix, but I’m not. She told me she came here voluntarily, and she can take care of herself. Plus, I don’t want to think of anything else while I’m with Liesel.
“Read your cards, and the game starts in five minutes,” the voice says.
We see the cards with our names on it once again on the table, and exchange glances at each other. After this moment, everything is going to change.
I pick up my card reluctantly and flip it over.
Fuck her like you’ve always wanted to. Take no mercy. Make her hate you. Make her fear you. Make her say her safe word.
I suck in a long breath. Somehow, I knew what was on the card. I knew the card would make her hate me if I were to succeed. The one positive is that Liesel already hates me, so that part wouldn’t change if I complete my challenge.
I don’t know if I’m going to be able to fuck in her a way that makes her say her safe word, though. She’s been through a lot, me taking her control away and fucking her hard wouldn’t force her to quit.
