“I-I please, more, please,” I cry.

Behind me, Cole lets out a litany of swears, sinking further into me. “I know baby, I know,” Levi continues. “You’re doing so good. Taking us so, so well. I’m so proud of you, you know that, right?”

I nod once.

“Say it out loud, baby. Say, I know you’re proud of me.”

“I—” I stutter at the stretch of Cole fully inside me now. I try to move my head, but Levi holds me in place. It’s all too much.

“Uh,” he tuts. “Say it.”

I take a deep breath and for a moment I consider using my safe word. I can barely hold on, can barely think. I open my mouth, but the words don’t come out. “I know—I know you’re proud of me.”

Levi grins just as Cole groans my name, “Kai,” he says breathlessly. “I have to move, princess. Tell me I can move. Please.”

I nod, unable to find my voice but he understands or maybe he doesn’t care because he pulls back and snaps his hips forward, sinking into me again. I cry out but this time, he grazes that sweet spot. I shudder, a burst of pleasure rushing through me all at once. Shattered breaths escape my mouth as Levi begins to move too, gripping the underside of my thighs.

It’s blinding, the feeling of both of them moving inside me too much. Tears stream down my cheeks as Levi whispers, telling me how well I’m doing. The line between pleasure and pain is blurred but my entire body is on fire, desperate for more.

“That’s it, princess. Scream loud enough so the entire building can hear you,” Cole grunts, the sound of the slap of his groin on my ass filling the air. “You’re such a desperate, filthy slut, aren’t you?”

I nod. I am. I am, I think or maybe I scream it, I don’t know.

I bury my head in Levi’s throat, sweat covering both of us. My orgasm comes suddenly, coiling at the pit of my stomach before bursting through me like a flare through the night. I dissolve into a pool made of perfect pain and pleasure that I think I might go blind from it all.

I can barely keep my eyes open, but I let them use me until they both spill inside me, my name on their lips like I’m the only thing that matters.

I wake up to my phone buzzing under my pillow. It’s our last day here and it’s early, the sky is a watery blue outside, and the sun is beginning to spill into the room through the open balcony door. I sit up, my body heavy and my mind foggy. Next to me, Levi and Cole are still fast asleep, and I have to move carefully to make sure I don’t wake them up as I slip out of bed and look down at the screen.

An unknown caller…

It’s like all the blood has been drained from my body. Fear grips me tight, its fingers icy, chilling me to the bone. I stare at the screen for another second and swallow, my hands shaking. I should cut the call. I should block the number and pretend he doesn’t exist, but I know he won’t leave me alone if I do that. I need to find out what he wants.

Taking in a quiet breath, I swipe the screen and answer. “Kenny.”

“Hey, Kai. I’m happy you knew it was me.”

My stomach drops. That voice. I haven’t heard that voice since I was fifteen. I haven’t felt the cold sweat run down my back when I hear the jingle of keys unlocking the door. It brings me back to a place I left a long time ago. A place made up of fear and self-loathing.

“Kai,” Kenny sings on the other end. “Are you there?”

I look down at my hand. I’m shivering all over. I need to breathe. I need to calm down.

“You’re ignoring me, that’s not very nice.”

I swallow.“I’ll tell the police.” It’s a stupid thing to say but somehow, I’m not twenty-five-year-old Kai anymore—I’m eleven again and I’m terrified of the man on the other end.

Kenny laughs. “It’s not a crime to call my dear son, is it?”

“I’m not—”

He laughs, cutting me off. “Right. You’re not my son. You’ve never had a father who wanted you. I think that makes you a bastard waste of space.”

He still knows where to cut.

“What do you want?” I ask.

“What do you think, Kai?” he asks. “I want you dead for what you did to me. I want to leave you to rot in the ground, somewhere no one will ever find you. I want you to pay for what you took!”
