“Does Sean ring a bell with you?” he says, pulling the name out of his ass.

“Who else is in the room?” she insists.

“You don’t know them.”

The door opens, and a couple of guys walk in.

“It’s done,” one of them says before they both retreat into a corner, enjoying the show.

“Who’s the other girl?” my man barks.

“My friend. Where is she?” she asks, turning to him, her breasts moving smoothly, her top sliding off her shoulders.

He looks at me.

I nod.

“She’s on her way home.”

“Can I go, then?” she asks softly, perfect and pure.

“Not before you answer a few more questions. You and your friend have trespassed and broken into our house. You admit to that?”

“Yes,” she murmurs, increasingly nervous.

“What were you looking for?” he asks.

“We were curious,” she says. “We’ve heard rumors about this place and wanted to see if they were true.”

“What rumors?”

“This house is always sunk in darkness. The lights are never on, and yet… Some women have visited it.”

She stops, and I could hear a pin drop.

Lex, Ed, and I exchange looks.

I motion the other guys to leave us alone and put my cigarette out before lifting my chin, signaling to Lex to make his move.

He rises from his seat, walks to her, and stops behind her.

“What about those women?” he asks softly, his lips brushing over Rain’s ear.

She shudders, startled.

“Lex?” she murmurs.

His hand glides up her neck, stroking her bare skin.

“A few women have spend time here...” she mumbles, her breath catching while Lex’s fingers slide up her neck and into the back of her hair.

“What did you expect to find?” he asks, tickling her skin with his breath.

She arches against him, and I’m rock hard.

Lex winks at me, noticing her reaction.

“I don’t know. I didn’t believe the story, but my friend did, so I suggested we come here and see for ourselves,” she says, her chest heaving slightly.
