Istared out at the night sky, my breath visible on the air. My evening with my little snowflake had been decent enough. She needed to be trained on how to suck dick, but overall, it wasn’t the worst I’d ever had. In fact, it was hot how she was so tentative and scared. All the other women, even the ones who were toys, always knew how to suck dick. It made me hate them a little more because it meant they’d spread their legs for someone else.

I always viewed what was mine as being mine. Or my brothers since we tended to share many things. Something about the delicate little snowflake was doing something to me though. I could understand why Sever had it bad for her, despite him denying any of it.

He’d been stomping around all day, a storm cloud hanging over his pretty head. When I said I was going to spend the evening with her, he all but blew up. He stormed out of the room and slammed his bedroom door. I could practically see him pacing his room before beating on the punching bag he kept in there.

“How was your night?” Mass asked as Sever joined us in the backyard. I’d left Misery in her room with the door locked and told her to rest up because we had plans for the night. She looked terrified, something I fucking loved.

“He went out and got some pussy. What’s wrong? The little hot box in the bedroom down the hall not cutting it for you?” Renzo let out a loud bark of laughter as he teased Sever.

“Fuck you.” Sever glared at him. “You don’t know shit, Ren.”

“Mm, I know you took her virginity and Roe made her suck your dried come off her bedsheets tonight before he forced her head under the water in the bubble bath he ran for her.” Ren’s eyes sparkled with mischief.

Sever rounded on me, his blue eyes flashing. “Did you fucking do that?”

I examined him, noting the visible tremble in his body. The way his lip curled upward. How his chest heaved.

Barely controlled rage.

So Sever.

“Yeah. Yeah, I did,” I admitted. “I also played tug-o-war on her clit with my fingers. She sure knows how to scream when something hurts. Oh. I also made her suck my cock until I came, then I made her clean the mess she made off the floor with her tongue. She’s a good little snowflake. I really think she’s growing on me.”

Sever’s fist flew toward my face, but I ducked it, laughing at him. Getting him going was always a pleasure.

“Roe. Sever. Enough,” Mass snapped, getting between us. Sever glared at me, his chest still heaving with his anger.

“Why are you so pissed?” Mass demanded, turning to face him. “Huh? I watched you fucking take her virginity while she squealed and tried to fight you off. Don’t act like a goddamn saint. We both know you have the devil’s blood running through your veins.”

Sever said nothing, a muscle thrumming along his jaw.

“What’s your deal?” I pressed, figuring it was worth a shot. Maybe the moody prick would finally talk about shit.

“She’s been through hell,” he snarled. “That’s my fucking deal.”

“She’sinHell, little brother,” Mass said softly. “No one gets out alive. None of the toys. Not even us. In the end, we all die. It’s just a matter of when. You know this.”

Sever’s bottom lip quivered. “Not her.”

His answer surprised me. I glanced to Ren who’d been silent the entire time. He raised his brows at me.

“Yes, her. She was chosen. She’s a debt paid. Let whatever feelings you have for her go. They’ll only choke you in the end. No attachments. That’s the rule, remember?” Mass moved forward and cradled Sever’s face. “Remember, Sever? It hurts less when you feel less.”

He gave Mass a curt nod. Seeming to accept it, Mass pressed a kiss to his forehead before turning to me. “Go get her. It’s time we play with our new toy.”

I winked at Sever as Ren clapped me on the back.

Playtime was my favorite time.

Misery was shakinglike a leaf when I placed her on her feet in front of us outside on the back patio. Our breath hung in the air, the night air cool and crisp, the moon full. It was the perfect night to hunt.

“Knees,” I murmured to her when she remained standing.

Immediately, she went down and bowed her head. I glanced to see Sever looking like he was ready to launch himself on her. To do what, I didn’t know, but I was more than eager to find out.

“This estate is over six hundred acres of woods, river, and plains,” Mass started in a rumbling voice. “There’s a lake. Various buildings scattered throughout, but it’s mostly just forest.”
