“Broke it already.”
He tossed the metal handle over his shoulder, sending it clattering off into the shadows. He pressed himself closer to me and his tongue swiped across my jaw and over my lips. I tried to turn my head but he pulled my lower lip into his mouth and bit down on it. The taste of blood burst over my tongue. He sucked the sting away as he kissed me. I let him do it, unable to move.
“Who do you belong to?” Vetticus whispered against my lips.
He bit lightly along my jaw and down my neck before biting hard into my shoulder, drawing blood again.
“Tell me, Kraven,” Vetticus demanded.
“I’m going to kill you,” I hissed instead. “Slowly…so I can savor it.”
He huffed a laugh and stepped away, his own chest heaving. I could see he was turned on from his efforts. He was covered in my blood and sweat beaded on his forehead as he stood staring at me.
“Big words for a man who’s at my mercy.” He shrugged. “We’ll try again, tomorrow.”
He moved a monitor into the center of the room. It showed my men in cells.
“You’ll be able to watch the game tomorrow night.” He came over and roughly patted my face. “I’ll make sure you get to see every single one of them die.”
FLASHBACK
THERON
THE WARREN
“Alright Greg,” I said. “Five minutes. No cutting or damaging of my property.” I added, my eyes jumped quickly to Roger. The display I’d just witnessed was disturbing to say the least. Roger had just cut up Johnson’s girl in a horrific display of knife and blood play. If you could even call itplay.It was torture, pure and simple. I enjoyed the occasional pain and pleasure practice but this was at the expense of the woman who had to be taken away by the guards, barely conscious.
Now, Kaelin was sitting on my lap facing the men, legs spread on either side of mine. I’d been watching Mahoney eye her most of the evening and now was offering him a taste. Her head rested against my shoulder and I ran my hands up her thighs, settling there and feeling her take a few deep breaths after my denial of an orgasm.
I didn’t want to share her with Mahoney—I didn’t want anyone else touching her—but I knew I could use his interest to my advantage. If a few licks of her pussy built rapport, so be it.
Mahoney came and knelt between our legs, his hands sliding up the inside of her thighs. I heard him moan as he leaned towards her pussy.
As soon as his tongue touched her, she tensed in my arms. I willed my features blank, until his fingers slipped inside her and a sound of distress left her lips. Mahoney’s eyes raised to mine and my message was clear—do that again and the deal was over. It was the longest five minutes of my life but once he was done, he sat back, licking his fingers.
“I can see why you spent the big bucks,” he said.
97
GRAHAM
The drug made my thoughts slow to formulate as I returned to consciousness. I regretted coming back to reality immediately as the horror of what I’d witnessed hit me.
Nyx—that wasn’t part of the plan.
I closed my eyes briefly, pushing the sadness down.
“Graham—” A familiar voice called to me.
I opened my eyes to see Tex in a cell next to me, crouched near the bars.
“Glad you’re back with the living man,” he said.
I looked around and saw we were in crude cells built into rock. We must be underground somewhere. I turned and Sakari nodded to me on my other side. Across the way was Knox and Lachlan next to Atlas who was still unconscious.
“Gang’s all here—wait…” Tex looked around. “Where’s Nyx?”
I struggled to my feet, using the wall as support and met Tex’s gaze. I shook my head and his face fell. Lachlan was sitting with his head buried in his hands.
