I will fucking devour her.

“Sit on my face,” I order. Even restrained, I hold power over her.

Her throat bobs as she lifts up and uses the iron headboard to steady herself. I breathe in the sweet scent of her arousal asshe lowers herself onto my face. “Mmm,” I moan. “Hold yourself right there. Just like that.”

I thrust my tongue all the way inside her warm wet entrance, relishing how her pussy lips rub against my nose. I roll my tongue in circles up and around her clit, back and forth between it and her core. Her juices spill out and drip down my face.

“You both look so fucking hot,” Raithe rasps.

Her eyes light up. She didn’t know that we like to play with each other too. I chuckle and bite down hard on her inner thigh, drawing blood.

She gasps but doesn’t pull away. “Fuck…”

That’s right, baby girl.You’re mine. “You will never have control over me, Lib. You will always give it up forthis.” I plunge my tongue back inside her pussy, flicking it wildly against her trembling walls.

She fists my hair as she grinds down hard on my face, bucking her hips like she’s trying to stay on a bull. She moans and grunts and clenches as I work her body like a fucking puppet.

“She’s coming,” Fabien murmurs.

I know.

I’m drenched in seconds, drowning in a steady burst of cream. She cries out and grinds harder. I lick and suck and nibble every inch of her aching cunt. “Now turn around so I can do the same to the other side.”

She trembles as she slides down me and rests on my chest, panting for air. Her juices trickle down my belly. “I hate you.”

“No, you don’t. No more than I hate you,” I whisper back.

She gets up and puts her clothes back on. “I’m getting out of here tonight. I’ll leave the scalpel so you can get out of your restraints. But I need a head start.”

“Lib, wait. You need us,” Raithe pleads.

“Your games aren’t fun anymore.” She looks at me, her gaze hardening. “You left me in the courtyard. Just like my father left me here to rot. You think I live this great life because I have money. But it’s not my money. It’s my father’s. And he holds it over my head like a ticking time bomb. All I ever wanted was his love and attention.”

Fuck. Something isn’t right. A feeling in my gut. “Libra—”

“No,” she cuts me off. “You’re going to listen. I was sixteen when he started offering me as agiftto potential business partners.Sixteen. I didn’t want to be pretty. I thought that maybe if they were repulsed by me, then he would stop sending me off with them. My brother doesn’t know. They told Aries that I was away on another shopping trip with my friends.”

“Fucking hell… Libra, that is so fucked up,” Fabien squeaks.

She glares at him. “They were always careful not to get me pregnant. The second time it happened, the guy tied me to a pillar in his hotel suite so all of his friends could touch me whenever they wanted… After that weekend… I started starving myself. I thought that would make my father embarrassed to offer me up. All it did was piss him off. He sent me to rehab for six months. It was a nice break. But when I got back, it started up again.”

I’ve already snapped through one of my wrist restraints. The fucking rage coursing through my body is enough to start a fire. All this time, while we were working for her bastard father in the poison fields, his precious daughter was working for him in the beds of his business partners. Gemini Thorn is a true fucking monster.

“Let me up so I can go with you and help you murder him.” I can’t keep the edge out of my voice. I sound demonic, but I don’t care.

She hangs her head. “Tenebrose Academy was my only escape. I applied without telling him, knowing my name alonewould get me in, and he’d be too embarrassed to publicly deny me. He was furious that I backed him into a corner. So much so that he made me a pawn in the war between the Blackwells and the Graves. And nowthathas landed me here. With three psychos who want to kill me for what he’s done to them too.”

I was so fucking wrong, I feel sick.

“Your father forced us to go to Tenebrose to keep an eye on you,” Raithe bursts out.

“What?” Her face twists in horror.

“We even had to join Nocturnus once you started hanging around them,” Fabien adds.

She drops the scalpel. “So itismy fault. Raithe, your eye…” She looks back and forth between the three of us. “All your scars… and all you got in return was a spoiled little rich girl dancing on tables and fucking her life up. Fuck me. I’d hate me too.”

I’m torn between wanting to wrap my arms around her and slapping her to make her snap out of this stupor of self-loathing. “We were wrong,” I grit out. “We didn’t know you. I should have seen through your act. I should have known that you were lashing out because you were in pain. Baby girl, please untie us so we can all get the fuck out of here.”
