“Where’s the fun without a chase?” he says, shrugging. “Now go on, chase her. I’ll be waiting.”

He runs right past me, headed straight for Priory Forest, and I fucking hate that the sheer length of his legs makes him faster than me.

“Keep running, slut! Doesn’t matter where you go; we’re going to fucking catch you,” I yell at Crystal, letting off some steam before I bolt into the woods she just entered.

I zigzag past the fallen trees, keeping an eye on the others. Ares is to my right, a little in front of me, but when I look ahead, I can clearly see Crystal running up the hills behind the school.

That cheeky little thing thought she could escape us by exiting the rose maze? Not a chance.

We run as fast as our legs will take us, slowly but surely catching up with her.

One glance over her shoulder has me going wild with lust.

“That’s it, slut, run for your fucking life because when we catch you, it belongs to us!”

We come up to a giant wall, which she’s scaling, and I jump up and make the climb right behind her. To my left, Ares runs around the other side, disappearing from view. But I don’t give a damn what he’s going to do because I’m nearly there. I can hear her breath and heavy grunts as she drags herself up the slopes toward Priory Lake.

Right before she manages to lift herself at the top, I grab her ankle and hold on tight, adrenaline invigorating my decrepit mind. “Gotcha.”

Crystal

When I look downand see the demonic mask staring back at me, I shriek. Caleb’s tattooed hand curls around my ankle, forcing me to stay put when I was just reaching the top.

Shit.

I try to shake him off, to no avail, and then I see the shadowy outline of two feet crackling on the dead leaves in front of me. My gaze tilts upward toward the stars, a familiar set of equally blinding eyes staring right back at me through the devil’s mask as the man goes to his knees and takes my chin with a firm grip.

“Mine.”

My eyes widen as his hand moves to my wrists, and he lifts me off the cliff with ease. But my mind is at war with my body, wanting two very different things. Have the power, or submit to his every whim. With a swift jerk, I break free of his grasp and run for Priory Lake in the back, but Ares quickly overtakes me, throwing both hands around my body to drag me to the ground. I crawl through the dead leaves, but with a simple, strong grip, he forces me to stop and twists me around underneath him.

“I have you now, little rose. And Iwillgive you what I promised you.”

Caleb towers over me with a few feet of rope. “You ready, little slut?”

Ares pins my wrists above my head and leans over to smash his lips onto mine briefly before he murmurs, “Tie her up.”

Caleb wraps the rope around my wrists and suddenly drags me from underneath Ares. “Wait, where are we—”

I shriek as he hoists me up a fallen log and lays me down with my back flat against the wood, tying my wrists beneath the wood so I have no way to escape as my legs fall to the side.

From the corner of my eye, I spot Blaine approaching.

“This isn’t necessary,” I say.

“It very much is,” Ares answers, pushing my legs up one by one so Caleb can tie them together.

I’m blushing from the hog-tie position they have me in right now.

“My, oh, my, you’ve got yourself in quite a beautiful position there,” Blaine muses, removing his mask, his tongue running along his lips. “Just like the dirty smut books I read.”

Caleb snorts. “What kind of racy books do you read?”

“None that would ever tickle your caveman brain,” Blaine retorts.

Caleb narrows his eyes at him. “While you were reading about all those things, we were actually doing them to her. Now watch.”

“Gladly,” Blaine replies as he sits down on a stump and leans back against the tree behind it, pulling out his hard-on to play with it.
