I nod. “Fine. I won’t touch you, and you’ll return the favor.”

He snickers in my ear, his breath hot on my cheek. “Oh, I’ll be touching you whenever I want. I’m going to make you my fuckingwhore.”

He gives my nub another pinch before releasing the pressure. But he leaves his fingers in my slit, stilling them there to torture me.

“Beg me to make you cum. I know you want to.”

I will not.

I want his fingers inside me so fucking bad. But I won’t give him the satisfaction.

So I spit in his face instead. The glob hits him square on the cheek.

He growls and grabs my chin. “Open your mouth.”

“Go to hell,” I growl back.

Raithe squeezes my throat, forcing me to do as he says. He yanks my head back and lobs a wad of spit down my throat. “Next time, it will be a load of my cum.”

I feel my cheeks heat and my heart race. This fucking bastard.

“I’m going to murder you,” I hiss. “I’d tell you to sleep with one eye open, but it looks like that’s the only one you’ve got.”

He snickers and pulls his hand out of my pants slowly, dragging his wet fingers up my belly. “Maybe I’ll take one of yours then.”

I want to vomit. He wouldn’t… would he? In all the time I spent around Nocturnus initiates, I learned that they are fucking crazy. But a former initiate, one who’s hell-bent on seeking revenge? That terrifies me even more.

I slip out of his grasp and take a giant leap back. He doesn’t advance, so I decide to take a different approach. “My family has a lot of money. Help me get out of here, and I’ll make sure you never have to work another day in your life.”

His eyes shift from left to right, his lips tighten, and he stalks toward me, reaching me in seconds. “You people are such fucking cunts. I have no interest in your daddy’s money, little girl.”

A breath lodges in my throat as the door opens, and another tall, hot as fuck, former Nocturnus initiate creeps in. His black hair is tied back in a low knot, but a few wavy wisps hang over his brown eyes. “Already playing with our new toy, Raithe?”

Fuck. The way he looks at me… like I’m about to be devoured and then murdered. I silently curse myself for even thinking for one second that a brutal death would be worth having his cock inside me.

Raithe’s jaw twitches. He rubs his fingertips together at his sides. “Careful, Mordecai. She’s crazier than she looks.”

Mordecai… I remember now who they are. They aren’t just former Nocturnus initiates. They’re from Hemlock Valley. Aries talked aboutthemfrom time to time.

They worked for my father in the poison fields until they were able to go to Tenebrose Academy on scholarship. I was furious when I found out. They don’t belong with the rest of us.

I lift my chin in defiance. “I’m not crazy, and you both know it. But if you had anything to do with getting me locked up in here, I really will murder you.”

Mordecai shrugs. “I wish we could take the credit. But bitches like you have a lot of enemies.”

More like fucking haters.

“Whatever. This conversation is boring me. Are one of you losers going to show me around this house of horrors or not?”

Raithe grabs my wrist and yanks me toward the door. I throw one last defiant look at Mordecai as I pass him. “See you soon,” he taunts right before Raithe drags me into the hallway.

I shudder. Between the creepy orderly, the terrors that scream in the dark, and now these three unhinged psychos… I’m going to have to get smarter if I’m going to survive this place.

There’s always a weak link. I just need to find out which one of them it is. And then, I will have him so tightly wrapped around my finger that he won’t be able to blink without asking me for permission.

She’s prettier than I remember. Even covered in filth, she’s a sight for sore eyes. But she reeks of privilege and power. And she knows it. She’s proud to exude it. Her black heart is cold and unforgiving. The stench of her depravity seeps out of her pores like a disease.

I will have my fun with her body though. The feel of her wet cunt on my fingers almost made me cum.And I will fucking cum soon. All over her perky fucking tits. Right after I scar her body like they did mine. I can’t wait to drag my knife over her creamy white skin. To mar her perfect flesh so that none of those rich boys will ever want her again.
