“You going to come for me, cupcake? Right here, praising God for me?”

Sin’s lips met mine in a deep kiss as I came hard, Shadow working me through it with ease.

He finally pulled his finger free and sucked it into his mouth and winked at me. Lucy glanced over again and he gave Church a slight nod.

We managed to get through the service, and at the end, we stood.

“Come on,” Shadow said, offering Lucy his hand. She hesitated for a moment before taking it. He helped her to her feet.

“You didn’t listen. Unfortunately, you have to pay the price,” he said softly.

“What? I-I kneeled?—”

“You watched,” Sin cut in. “I saw you.”

“You have to spend the night in the mausoleum,” Shadow finished. She cried and tried to pull away from him, but he held her arm firmly.

“Aw, too bad, so sad.” Asylum grinned and danced around her. “Now big L is going to be big mad. Don’t worry. I’ve spent the night in there. It’s not so bad…. If you don’t mind the sound of demons scratching at the door.”

Lucy wailed as Shadow dragged her out of the church, the guys following, Sin’s hand on my lower back.

“Are you OK with this?” Sin asked.

I stopped and turned to him. “She wants what’s mine.”

“She’ll never have what’s yours, siren.” Sin brushed his lips against mine. “Shadow would never. The guy is head over heels. Just like the rest of us.”

I smiled at that, turning to watch the guys lead her to the cemetery.

“Come on,” Sin said. “Let them deal with that mess. Right now, I want to fuck you until you’re begging God to save you.”

I let him take me back to the house because I really wanted that too.

On Monday,I awoke in Church’s bed with him and Stitches wrapped around me. I was nervous for the day. Today was Cady’s doctor appointment at the med facility.

“Good morning, specter,” Church greeted me softly. “Going somewhere?”

I quickly signed that I had to get ready because I didn’t want to miss Cady’s appointment with her. Church tugged me back to him when I went to get up, rousing Stitches in the process.

“You’re not going with her to the appointment,” Church said, brushing my hair away from my face.

I narrowed my eyes at him, signing my irritation and confirming that I was, in fact, going.

“I can say with a fair amount of certainty that you’re not,” Church said. “You know the rules. You don’t step foot in that place. I’ll be with her today. I promise to take care of her. I’ll come to you the moment we’re done.”

I huffed, making him laugh softly.

“Mm, I love when you’re pissed off, baby. Gets my dick hard.”

“And I love when I take her away from you and fuck her instead,” Stitches said, dragging me away from Church.

“Prick,” Church said, smirking at Stitches as he kissed along my shoulder. “You didn’t get your fill last night? You hogged her the entire time.”

“What can I say? I’m a greedy asshole.”

I rolled and faced Stitches, kissing him lightly before I signed to him.
