It was heady when she relinquished all control to him. He wanted nothing more than to sink his cock into her.

But it wasn’t the time.

“They thought you cheated on me.” Ace smiled around the words. At the hypocrisy. The irony.

If they would just listen to the truth, it wouldn’t have had to come to this. But by the time Ace got out of jail it was too late to explain. They hadn’t read or returned a single letter of his either.

Silas and Hawk preferred to bury their heads up their own asses than listen to the truth.

They thought Ashmine had made a fool of them all. That she was the fissure that broke them apart.

That wasn’t the case at all.

She was the connective tissue.

The blood in their veins.

The heart they didn’t deserve.

Silas and Hawk felt scorned by Ashmine. As if she had cheated on them. As if she had filled them with empty promises. As if she had betrayed them all.

In their minds, Kristoff was the last straw. It was why she and Ace agreed she needed to “date” him. They chose him due to hisdarkermotives, and then they lured him to the woods.

He would be the final piece of this night.

“Fine.” Ace didn’t agree with her sentiment. “I won’t stop them unless you say so.”

It was a lie.

He wouldn’t let his brothers kill her.

He wasn’t quite sure what they had in mind, but knowing his sick,twistedbrothers?

It wouldn’t be good.

He shifted down the table, his mouth latching onto her neck, sucking and biting.

“Fuck, that feels so good.” Ashmine arched as best she could, but her restraints did their job.

“Hush, you better not let them know you’re enjoying it.”

“Just you Ace, you can know. I love you.”

The words stabbed him as he continued his assault on all her exposed skin. Sucking and biting as he went. He was immensely satisfied to leave his mark on her.

It had been too long.

He would gladly spend a decade in prison if it meant at the end of it, Ashmine would be waiting for him with open arms and soft lips.

Just as she had been eight months ago.

She had made a deal with the devil for him and he was determined to repay her.

No matter if it meant going against his own wishes.

Because this night…

The cabin, the revenge, the murder, even themasks.
