He snarled, “I see you haven’t changed.” It figured he understood Latin. It was probably a job requirement for all of Satan’s henchmen.
His eyes raked my body from head to toe. “At least your mouth hasn’t.” He looked over my shoulder at Grey. “Is she this feisty in bed?” Before Grey could answer, Kipton’s hand slipped down over his crotch. “I like it when they put up a fight.”
I swallowed back the bile that shot up my throat.
In an instant, Grey’s hard body was pressed firmly against my back with his hand tangled in my hair. His lips brushed the shell of my ear. “You’re baiting him.” He tugged my hair, tilting my head back. “I am capable of doing things to you that will make your nightmares look like daydreams.” His grip tightened, as if to prove his point. “Do. Not. Fucking. Test. Me.”
There it was—the beast that I’d only seen once before. Once again, he had a point to make and that beast was ready to roar. I may have been a smart ass, but I was a smart ass who knew better than to test him.
I watched Grey as he grinned at the men sitting across the room. “You didn’t come here to chat, so let’s get on with it, shall we?” And then his hands were at the top button on the back of my gown, ripping at the fabric, tearing the dress from my body.
Theplink, plink, plinkof pearl buttons hitting the floor echoed in the large room. My heartbeat thundered in my ears when the gown fell away, exposing my skin to the open air. I stood here, chest heaving, in a pool of tulle and lace with nothing more than a thin piece of fabric covering my pussy.
Oh, god.
Grey had seen me naked when he’d pulled me from the bathtub. I wasn’t ashamed of my body. Anyone who’d seen my Instagram posts knew that. But being here, exposed, in front ofthem, made my skin crawl. Like a thousand tiny spiders set loose on my flesh.
Grey walked me over and bent me forward across his bed, like a ragdoll, a toy, a hole without a face. Then again, it wasn’t like I expected it to be romantic. This was a different level of fucked-up. These men wielded their power over us like weapons, making us play along with their sick little game. Neither one of us wanted to be here. Neither one of us wanted to do this. Yet here we were,pretendingbecause the alternative meant… I didn’t even want to think about what the alternative meant.Either I fuck you or they do.
They. Them. All of them.
His body leaned over mine, his lips barely touching my ear. “Don’t look at them. It’s just me and you in this room.”
I took a deep breath. Just me and Grey. That was why he bent me over. It wasn’t so he wouldn’t have to look at me. It was so I wouldn’t have to look atthem. This man was full of surprises. I wanted to look at him, to thank him for that small act of kindness. But I didn’t. Instead I closed my eyes.
He dusted a fingertip along the side of my face. “Good girl.”
The fist around my heart squeezed until it shattered, scattering pieces all over the floor along with the buttons from my dress.“Then you should’ve been a good girl and done what you were told.”Lincoln had said those words to me the night I’d caught him jacking off in his room, the night I knew I wanted to be his.
His.
The first tear broke free and slid down my face. God, I missed him. I missed him so much it hurt. I would have given anything in this moment for it to be him leaning over me. Instead, his creepy ass father sat in a chair somewhere behind me, watching while another man slid my panties down my legs.
Then I heard it—the metallic slide of a zipper followed by the rustling of fabric. No. Not just one zipper. Four of them. Four groans at the sight of my bare pussy. Four pairs of pants being shoved down past their hips.
I squeezed my eyes closed tighter and tried to take myself back to that place, back to Lincoln’s bed, back to his arms. I tried to see his face, but all I saw was Grey. All I felt was Grey, as he slid his cock between my ass cheeks, gliding it back and forth.
I just wanted it to be Lincoln.
His voice broke through the silence, quiet but harsh against my neck. “If you don’t relax, this is going to be painful for both of us.”
I inhaled a deep breath and nodded. I needed to do this for Grey. He’d killed a man for me—because I’d put this whole plan in jeopardy.It makes me look weak. How safe do you think you’ll be then?
I wouldn’t make him look weak. I owed him that much.
And then he wasthere. He’d dropped to his knees, spread my cheeks with his hands, and buried his face between my thighs. He spread me open with his thumbs, then ran his nose along my seam, inhaling me. My body pushed backward against my will. Fucking traitor.
“I’m going to take care of you, sweet girl.” His voice went dark, like he’d transported himself to another place. “Time to make you forget.”
He flattened his tongue on my clit, then pulled it between his lips, kissing me there the way he’d kissed my mouth earlier today. Slow, gentle strokes followed by a single, long one all the way down my slit to my waiting hole. Then he fucked me with his tongue until I was a panting mess with my fists clenched in the sheets, grinding my pussy against his face. What the fuck was wrong with me? I shouldn’t have enjoyed this. I should havehatedthis.
The pain of my body’s betrayal was almost crippling. But I couldn’t stop myself fromfeeling.I wanted to turn it off.
I tried to turn it off.
Why couldn’t I turn it off?
His thumb circled my clit, bringing me to that place my body craved, driving me right to the edge. Pleasure shot through my veins as I stood on the precipice, ready for the fall.
