Page 5 of His Toy

The Wolf laughed uproariously, so she knew it wouldn’t happen anyway. But at least he found them amusing right now. She’d gotten the impression he enjoyed toying with them, playing with them, but if they bored him, he’d find other ways to make them interesting. And Bella really didn’t think she wanted to know what those other ways might be.

“Oh, I do like spirit.” The Wolf’s eyes glowed as he looked down at Alex with the same speculation and interest with which he’d examined Bella. “You two are going to be quite delightful. In fact… I know.” He turned back to Bella and rested one hand on Alex’s head. Alex tried to toss it off, but the Wolf just gripped his hair tightly and jerked his head upright hard enough that Alex grunted with pain. “Bella, Pet—you get a choice. Do you want me to fuck you right now? Or do you want Toy to fuck you?”

Oh, god…Bella’s head whirled. Have sex with him or have sex with Alex?

Really, it was no choice at all.

“Toy. I mean, Alex.” Horror struck through her as she realized what she’d said first.

“Bella no!” Alex strained against the Wolf’s hand in his hair, the men who were holding him on his knees. “You don’t have to do this!” He glared up at the Wolf. “Let her go.”

“You’re getting repetitive. Boring.” The Wolf’s green eyes glinted in a way that belied his words, and he reached into his pocket, ignoring Bella’s pleas to leave Alex alone, that she’d made her choice. He pulled out an object and popped it into Alex’s mouth, and then wrapped the straps around his head. A gag.

Panting from the fear that coursed through her, Bella almost dropped to her knees. Just because the Wolf was known for letting people go unharmed didn’t mean he wouldn’t change that now. One of the most common things his former victims had stressed was how unpredictable he was.

“So, Pet.” The Wolf dropped Alex’s head now that he’d hushed the younger man and walked back toward Bella. “You’d rather fuck Toy than me? He doesn’t seem very willing. I certainly am.”

His hand reached down to grope his cock through his pants, and Bella gasped as she saw the sizable bulge there.

“No,” she whispered. This time she did fall to her knees, nearly making the man holding the ropes behind her stumble. “Alex…” Her voice grew in strength as she looked across the short distance between them. “Alex, you have to fuck me. Please.”

The Wolf sighed. “I suppose I should feel insulted… but after all, it’s not like we know each other yet, so I’ll let it slide this time, Pet.” His voice became crueler as he spoke, and he reached out and tweaked her nipple before caressing her head, the way he might pet a dog. Then he snapped his fingers at the man behind her. “Release her ropes. I’m going to let you beg Toy, Pet. And if he doesn’t agree to fuck you in the next two minutes… then I will.”

The restraints around her wrists were cut, as was the hobble around her legs. She forced herself to her feet and stumbled over the few steps it took to get to Alex. Bella ignored the men behind him, ignored the chuckling and the snide remarks all around her, and she reached out and took Alex’s face in her hands.

“Alex please, you have to do this. He’s going to rape me, you know he will. He’s not bluffing. Just nod your head. Just nod your head and say you’ll fuck me.”

God, what had she come to… This morning she’d been incensed that her boyfriend and Alex’s girlfriend had cheated on them. Now she was having to beg Alex to fuck her. And he was looking at her with the most tormented expression on his face, his eyes begging her to do something—anything other than ask him to do this.

“It’s not rape, Alex—I’m choosing you,” she pleaded. Except they both knew, given a real choice, she wouldn’t be having sex with anyone. Her voice dropped down to a strained whisper again. “Please… Alex… you have to save me.”

* * *

Alex wanted to scream with frustration. Didn’t Bella see? By giving in, by playing this sick game, they were already losing to the Wolf. And at the same time… he didn’t doubt that the man meant every word he said. If Alex didn’t have sex with Bella, the Wolf would.

But what was to stop him from doing so anyway, afterward?

He could see Bella wasn’t thinking about that. Her pupils were huge, dilated from fear—all she could think about was getting past this first obstacle, this first terror.

And he couldn’t blame her. That same terror pulsed inside him. The gag the Wolf had put in his mouth wasn’t huge, but it was large enough that he couldn’t spit it out. It filled the inside of his mouth, made of some material that shaped itself to block as much noise as possible and pressed down on his tongue.

A grating sound made both him and Bella turn their heads. There was a hole opening up in the middle of the room’s huge floor, a platform rising out of it. On the platform was a huge bed, its canopy and corners festooned with chains and restraints. Several wooden structures surrounded it, all looking threatening as Alex imagined the various ways a human body could be secured to them. A sick feeling rose in his stomach. He couldn’t leave Bella to the Wolf’s mercies.

Even knowing the Wolf could still do whatever he wanted to them afterward. Alex just couldn’t make the choice that would leave him unaffected and condemn Bella.

Besides, a faint hope inside him whispered, maybe the Wolf just wanted a show right now. He was unpredictable, right? Maybe he just wanted a show and then he’d let them go.

Alex nodded, and Bella nearly sobbed with relief.

“Too bad. Only a few more seconds, and I could have played with Pet.” The Wolf glanced at his watch. He nodded to the men behind Alex. “Release Toy.” The man stepped closer as Alex’s ropes were undone, his face completely serious, and stared straight into Alex’s eyes. “Don’t even think about trying to escape. There is no way you’ll make it out of this room, and if you try to, I will tie up Pet, and I will tie up Jordan’s new blonde, and I will let every single one of my men come and fuck both of them while you watch.” A cruel smile glinted across his lips. “And I have a lot of men under my command.”

The frightened sob Bella let out as she snuggled closer to Alex made his heart break. His arms were free now, and he immediately pulled her to him while trying to ignore how soft and silky her skin felt against his. When he reached up to remove the gag, the Wolf slapped his hand away.

“The gag stays in, for now.” The Wolf stepped back. He gestured grandly at the platform that had been raised in the center of the room. It reminded Alex a bit of the ancient gladiator arenas, where emperors put on spectacles for their underlings. He had no doubt this particular stage served a similar purpose. At least there weren’t too many people in the room. “Choose your pleasure.”

When Alex hesitated, Bella grabbed his hand and started dragging him toward the platform, headed straight for the bed. Alex let Bella lead him and tried to focus on her and not on their surroundings. It was surprisingly easy to push the other men in the room to the back of his mind and focus solely on her naked curves, the way her bottom wobbled as she hurried them both along. Bella was a beautiful woman; he’d always thought so. He just hadn’t thought he’d ever be in a position to see her completely naked, much less do something about it.
