Alaric
Idon’t know who is most shocked by the words that just came out of my mouth—me, him, or Monroe? She is sitting on my lap like she is frozen in time, completely still, every muscle tight.
Calling her my fiancée was the only thing I could think of, a split-second decision that will alter my entire life. I’ve never even thought about getting married before, but right now, this might be the only thing that will save her from Alessandro.
I owe this man my life. He is the only family I’ve ever known, but I know what he does to women. I know he likes to cause pain, and sometimes, he takes it too far and kills them. The thought of Monroe in his clutches makes my chest ache. Marrying Monroe might be drastic, but it’s the only thing that will give her a chance to get out of here.
“So you want Monroe to join this family?” Alessandro asks, eyebrow raised. When I nod, he continues. “You know what that means, right? She needs to prove her loyalty to us.”
Fuck.I didn’t think that far ahead.
“She has to go through initiation just like anyone else. She will have to kill someone for the family.”
Monroe’s head snaps up at his words, all blood drained from her face as she looks at me with impossibly wide eyes.
“I guess I should introduce myself first if you are going to be part of this family. I’m Alessandro Lombardi. This is my younger brother, Savio, and some of our close friends,” he introduces everyone one by one before turning back to Monroe. “So, who are we going to have you kill for us?”
Monroe's mouth falls open like she is about to say something, but no words come out.
“Don’t be ridiculous, Alessandro,” Savio interjects. “She doesn't have it in her to kill someone, and you know it. There are other ways she can prove herself. We can plant her for information or use her as bait. Those would be much smarter choices since she has no affiliation with us until now. No one would suspect her.”
“Maybe smarter, but certainly less fun.” Alessandro leans back in his seat, running his hand over his chin in thought. “However, I can think of something she could do for us, something that would prove her loyalty to this family, and the best part, it can be done today.”
The mischievous glint in his eyes tells me I don’t want to know what he has in mind. Nevertheless, I ask, “And what would that be?”
“Fuck her in front of us and give us a show.” He smiles. “If you won’t let us fuck her, that’s the least you can do.” The other guys in the room nod their head in agreement, their eyes already undressing Monroe like the hungry hyenas they are.
“Those are your choices. Either she kills someone, we get to fuck her, or you fuck her in front of us.”
Monroe is shaking on my hold as I take a moment to weigh my options. There is really only one choice that would keep her permanently unharmed. “Fine, I’ll fuck her, but no one else touches her. She is mine.”
Alessandro holds up his hands and chuckles, “I get it, she is your new toy, and you don’t like to share… yet.”
Ever. I won’t share her ever.
“Pour me another one,” I hold out my glass, and Savio pour another inch and a half of bourbon into my glass tumbler. Instead of drinking it myself, I bring the rim to Monroe’s trembling lip. “Drink.”
She takes a small sip, wrinkling her nose at the taste, but then downs the entire contents with her second gulp.
“Stand up,” I order softly, pushing gently on her back.
She stands up like a newborn fawn. Her steps, I’m sure, are shaky. I keep my hand planted on her lower back and lead her to the couch on the other side of the room.
She flinches when I reach for the hem of her shirt, and I have to grind my teeth together to stop myself from reassuring her that everything’s gonna be okay. She lifts her arms, and I pull the shirt over her head, exposing most of her smooth, unblemished skin.
I reach for her bra next, unclasping the back. I let it fall off her shoulders and onto the floor. She immediately lifts her arms to cover herself up, but I shake my head and pull them down. Obediently, she lets her arms fall next to her and lets the men gawk at her like she’s nothing more than a piece of meat.
“That’s a nice pair of tits… fuck, I wouldn’t mind sucking on them…” Bruno, one of Alessandro's goons, groans. The others chime in, and I have to force myself to keep going.
Ignoring the men’s catcalling and crude comments, I reach for the button on her jeans and start undoing them. Even with all the men watching, I can’t help getting hard myself when I pull down her jeans to expose her barely covered pussy. Her white cotton underwear is so thin I can see the outline of it, and knowing how tight she is has all the blood rushing to my cock.
But before I sink deep into her cunt, I need to make sure she’s good and ready.
Dipping my fingers into the waistband of her panties, I pull them down her smooth legs, exposing her clean-shaven pussy, which immediately gets ten comments from the other men.
I want to growlminelike a rabid dog so they will all know to stay away from her. Instead, I grab her hips and bury my face in her pussy. Running my tongue through her slit, I make her whole body shudder with the intrusion. Her hands come to my shoulders, and her nails dig into my skin through the shirt I’m wearing.
