“In case you haven’t understood yet, there arerulesset by our families to make sure everything works here!”

Larissa opened her mouth, but Vivienna didn’t let her speak.

“Don’t even try! I’m not arguing with people like you, and I’m not risking my neck!” She turned abruptly to Julie. “Just likeyoudo!”

Julie winced and lowered the water bottle to the table. And of course, I noticed the ice crystals that had formed on the glass, as did Vivienna, who stared at the bottle as if it were a wild insect that might attack her.

She quickly grabbed the key and marched straight to the front door. Not without turning around once more.

“You’re dangerous. All of you!But don’t think you can fool me.”

The last thing we were wasdangerous.At least not me. I wasn’t so sure about Larissa, because she had told me about the incident with Mady. And since the ceremony, I wasn’t sure about Julie either. But Vivienna knew how to defend herself, I had witnessed that.

“You’re up to something.” Caught off guard, I inhaled a little too loudly. “And if I were you, I would stop.” She opened the door and took a step out.

“I’ll keep an eye on you.Allof you.”

Julie’s puppy pranced through the hallway and hurried toward Vivienna.

She looked down at the dog disapprovingly, but instead of pulling the door shut behind her to escape – as Kelly always did – she opened the door a crack wider.

The dog ran past her in confusion, sniffed at the door frame and... disappeared through the front door onto the wooden footbridge outside.

“Buddy...” Julie whispered, startled.

“I hope he never comes back.” Vivienna laughed and closed the door behind her.

Julie jumped up immediately. “No...”

“That bitch...” Larissa growled, her eyes glowing red. “How dare she!”

Julie rushed to the door and pulled it open with a swing. Ice spread on the door handle, started covering the whole door, but she paid no attention to it. Instead, she looked through the door in panic and rushed outside.

She came back a few seconds later.

“Buddy...” she whispered, as if paralyzed. “He’sgone.”

Chapter 43

Quentin

Twisted

Two Feet

As the hot water hit my tense body, I groaned, because it was as if all the weight in the world had been lifted from my shoulders for a moment. I put my head back, rotated it, closed my eyes, and let the heat flow down my body.

A mistake.

Immediately, an image of J popped into my head. Her, sitting on top of me, naked and beautiful, with her perfectly shaped tits that were so delicate you never wanted to take your hands off them.

I wanted to suck on her nipples, lick them until she moaned in ecstasy and her wet pussy tightened around my cock.

“Fuck,” I growled as my hand automatically traveled down and gripped my throbbing dick.

I wanted to fuck that woman’s mind away until she collapsed on top of me, breathing heavily, so I could bury my nose in her fragrant hair and cum inside her.

I didn’t have to do anything. I just came in my hand, holding on to the rough black granite wall while pressing my lips together.
