“Where do you get off asking us questions? A week was too much for you to bear, was it?”
I sigh. When Bowie says he’s mad at you, he means it. Although he has a very laid-back personality, it means nothing with him being pissed off. “I just…” I sigh. “Forget it.”
Bowie scoffs. “You could’ve called or something. Or I don’t know, sent a fucking postcard,” he starts.
I’m taken back by his attitude. “There’s no need for the attitude.”
He chuckles. “If you think this is me giving you an attitude you don’t remember me well because baby, that shit is so much worse now. I’m not that 18-year-old boy who worshipped the ground that you walked on or the air that you breathed. I’m a grown ass man who will make your world collapse when I make you mine again. I’ll split the ground that you walk on, making sure that you fall deep into the damned sinkhole that I will create. You won’t come back out, there won’t be anyone who will rescue you out of there. You are going to worship the very air that I breathe and you’ll know what it’s like to pant after a man of my stature.”
“What if I don’t want you?”
Bowie bites his lip not saying anything and Phoenix snickers as if he knows what I’m saying is a complete lie. Bowie straightens from the wall and walks over to me with his hands in his jeans’ pockets. I take in his attire; he looks like a hipster rockstar with the simple black long sleeve shirt that resembles a silk pajama top. The white line that is outlining the lapels and the sleeves of his shirt makes him look even more stylish. The bottom of his black distressed jeans is tucked into black Chiseled toe boots and the accessorizing of his chains and rings makes him who he is, Bowie Hanlon. By the time I look into his eyes he’s in my space again but this time he doesn’t trap me. Instead, he grabs me by my jaw and kisses me hard. I itch for him; my nails want to dig deep and make permanent scratch marks on his body as I kiss him back just as hard. It’s hard to think about anything else or do more because I am helpless with him.
I feel as my body is lifted so I wrap my arms around Bowie’s body. We shift and I feel Phoenix behind me. I groan as I feel Phoenix’s teeth on my shoulder. His entire body is just as hard as Bowie’s. Bowie rips his lips away from mine and we fall into the pattern like we’ve never left it. Phoenix grabs the back of my neck and kisses me while Bowie sucks on my neck leaving proof of the fact that he was there. He grinds his body on me and I feel how hard he is. Not just from his lean body but every part of him contracts as he touches me. I feel Bowie’s hands as it holds me in place while Phoenix uses his free hand to glide under my shirt, dipping into my bra and rubs my nipple. I moan into his mouth and Bowie moves his waist, practically showing me what I’m missing. I can’t help but respond to it except Phoenix locks me in as both him and Bowie move to the same rhythm.
My entire body shudders and realizes too late what they’re doing. It triggers memories of when they first both took me. When they showed me what genuine pleasure is like and dear God, I miss it way too much. Bowie nips at my ear as Phoenix stops kissing me. They both attack their own side of my neck, my ear, and I know the bites will stay.
“We’re going to remind you just who the fuck we are, little deer,” Phoenix whispers in my ear. “Now, what were you saying? What if you don’t want Bow?” He bites hard on my shoulder while Bowie stops his movements. Phoenix lets me go and Bowie sets me on my feet.
He stares right at me. “Then you get neither of us.” He glares at me.
The lust in his eyes is so clear that I want to jump on him. “But…” Phoenix starts. Bowie looks at him and he smirks as if they have some out of this world plan for me. “We’ll never let you go,” Phoenix finishes his sentence.
Bowie licks his lips as he looks down at Phoenix’s hand that is still rubbing my nipple. “Never.” Bowie looks me in my eyes as he smirks. He pops the button of his jeans, unzips, but I can’t see much because his shirt is covering it. He dips his hand into his boxers. I know he’s stroking his dick but he stops after the first groan slips out of his mouth. He adjusts himself and removes his hand out of his jeans, zipping and buttoning up. He winks at me.
I feel faint even as Phoenix removes his fingers from me. I shut my eyes for a moment. This is too much. “I need to nap. I’m tired,” I say to both of them.
I grab Bowie’s wrist and pull him with Phoenix, who’s still cuffed to me towards my room. I walk us into my room and look at the unfinished bed frame. “Fix it, boys. I’m tired,” I groan.
I look up at each of them, giving them my best glare. Phoenix’s eyes slowly look around the room and finally settle on mine. “Don’t you worry, Bams, I’ll get it all figured out.”
Phoenix removes a key from his pocket and removes the cuff from his wrist but in my fascination with him having the key on him this whole time, he cuffs my other wrist. I growl at him out of frustration. “What is wrong with you, Nix! Why am I in cuffs? I didn’t even do anything.” I stomp my foot.
“Should’ve listened when I told you to stop fucking calling me Markos,” he replies and Bowie chuckles.
“That’s what this is about?” I ask out of irritation. “I’m sorry.”
Phoenix gives me a boyish grin. “Now, why must you fake the funk with me, Bams? You forget that I know when you’re being defiant. I taught you that. Plus, I never said I’d forgive you if you apologized, did I?”
This will not work. He knows me too well, so the only thing I can do is pull out tricks I’ve learned from movies. I poke my bottom lip out and try my best at a sad expression. I move in closer so I can try to grab the keys out of his hand. I pull at the strings of his sweatpants. “Nixy…” I call him a name I haven’t used in a long time. His brows shoot up. “I just, I want to take a nap that’s all. I won’t go anywhere plus; you know I won’t run. I don’t like being chased. I’m sorry, okay?”
Phoenix tugs his bottom lip into his mouth as he stares at me. He shuts his eyes and I take this opportunity to snatch the keys out of his hold. But my victory is so short lived I wonder why I even do it. Phoenix’s left hand reaches out and grabs me by the throat. He still hasn’t opened his eyes as he doesn’t squeeze instead he caresses my neck with his thumb.
“You know, I didn’t think you’d try to fuck with me like that,” he scoffs opening his eyes, the emotion of hearing that nickname show its effect through his eyes. “But I guess you think I’m stupid. You think I’ll give you a chance to escape your punishment but my little deer, this here is the hunt and I’m the hunter. Here’s a tip, there’s no winning this game because it’s rigged and everywhere you step, there’s a trap. Care to find out what traps there are?”
His face and eyes are void of all emotions. This is the Phoenix Moralis that everyone in school scurried away from but not me. Not then anyway because I was so sure he would never hurt me. Yet now, looking right back at him was terrifying and I know I made a mistake provoking him with the use of a nickname so intimately.
“I’m sorry,” I apologize sincerely.
Phoenix smirks as he moves me back until my back slams against the wall. He lifts me up and brings me close to his face. My feet are dangling high off the ground and I don’t have to look to know that.
“I’m going to make you cry, my little deer. I’m going to incapacitate your world, stop it from spinning. Fuck throwing it off its axis, baby, I’ll have you crawling to me on your knees begging me to stop crushing it in my hands. You’ll regret ever coming back and uttering my name off your lips.” Phoenix leans in breathing hard along with me. I stare into his golden-brown eyes. I’m both terrified and turned on. I don’t know how that’s possible. Phoenix makes good on his promise as he nips as my bottom lip dragging his teeth and digging in close enough to draw blood. He lets my lip go. “Don’t ever fucking call me that name again. I’ll kill you where you stand. You know I would too. You’ve got two options, fuck with me and die or fuck with me and still, you die.”
“Huh?” I answer. “I, I don’t understand.”
Phoenix smirks. “You will in due time, my prey.”
