She sucks in a deep breath and whimpers as he drags the vial back down her slit. “No, it doesn’t hurt.”

“That’s unfortunate.” He thrusts it back inside her, fuckingher hard, neither one of them caring about the possibility of broken glass at this point.

She twists her hips, bucking up and down as he sends her body convulsing into another orgasm.

Aries grabs my shoulder and squeezes. “The devil must fucking love us. And all the things we’re going to do to our little lamb…”

I blow out a shaky breath, my cock pressing against my pants so hard it might tear a hole through them. “Nothing holy lives in these woods. Or in us.”

“Uhhh,” Mia moans out. Her belly spasms as Draven forces her to climax.

And when he pulls the vial out of her pussy, it’s filled with her cum.

“I’m saving this for later.” He twists the lid back on and stuffs the vial back into his pocket. “My celebratory drink when I’m sitting in Harker Mansion with the deed to it in my hand.”

He stands up and over her. “Now I’m actually leaving.”

We watch him disappear into the shadows.

I blow out a deep breath and roll her over so I can untie her wrists. Once she’s on her feet and pulling her jeans back up, I point to the trees behind her. “Walk in a straight line for about a half mile, and you’ll find your truck. I fixed your steering wheel.”

She snorts. “You say that like you weren’t the one who fucked it up to begin with.”

I shrug. “Same difference.”

Aries gives her a wink. “Don’t get lost in the woods again, little lamb. We’re not the only wolves out here tonight.”

A darkness seems to encircle us at his words. An ominous energy, reminding us that Ever Graves is a cursed town. Yet something tells me that the devil favors Mia more than anyone. The murderous look in her eyes tells me she just might be the devil herself.

In one night, we may have unleashed a new hellscape. A furious inferno of black hair and eyes that glow blue and brown.

“I guess there’s no point to this.” She tosses the pepper spray onto the ground.

I chuckle. “Nah. That’s about as dangerous as candy. There’s not much that will protect you from us, Mia.”

She glares back before stomping off. “We’ll see about that.”

MIA

Ipress my forehead to the shower wall and close my eyes as the hot water runs down my back. I’m unholy. Disgraced. Broken. Cum and poison drip down my legs, taking my pride with them.Right down the fucking drain.

My wrists are bruised, marked by Draven’s fingers. Red and swollen from his necktie. I wince as I lather shampoo into my scalp, sore from the grip he had on my hair. I shudder as I recall every second of it. My pussy is raw—aching.

I came so fucking hard.

What is wrong with me?

This is Nox’s fault. He made me like this. He turned me into this fiend. A monster like him. What other reason could possibly exist that would make me crave what Draven, Aries, and Bones did to me tonight?

And I do crave it.

Aries was right. I loved every second. And I hate them for it.

I finish rinsing the filth out of my hair and look down at mybody. The bruises extend to my thighs and hips. More fingerprint-size marks. My nipples are still hard and swollen from the edging Bones gave me. I’m angry that he didn’t keep playing with them.

I need sleep and rest, but as soon as I close my eyes and drift off, I will wake again inside my nightmare prison. I wonder what normal people dream about. I envy them.

I don’t bother to put on pajamas but slip into my four-poster bed naked. The silk sheets caress me, soothing my tender flesh. I lie back against the feather pillows and stare at the chandelier that hangs above me. It’s vintage and decadent like this house. I’m pretty sure the beads are made of real diamonds instead of crystals, unlike the gaudier versions I’ve seen in thrift stores.
