Terror crawls through me as I meetEric’seyes and shake my head, trying tocommunicate with him,tellinghim not to move or theywillkillhim. But mygazefalls away when someone rips my summer dress off in one go, followed by my panties.
Behind Eric, Grim unbuckles his belt, a wicked grin spreading over his lips as his eyes devour my naked body.
“I swear to god, if you touch her-” Eric starts, but he’s cut off as Pyro jabs the blade into his neck, a trickle of blood leaking from the wound.
“You’ll what?Kill me?” Grim snorts. “A fucking pussy like you won’t touch me.” He moves his gaze to Pyro and adds, “Keep him quiet. I want him to hear her screams.”
As Grim prowls toward me, Pyro wraps a hand around Eric’s mouth, his cries of protest muffled as the knife still presses against his throat.
I thrash in Butch and Buck’s grasp, fighting my hardest. Fighting for my life. Too focused on trying to break free, I don’t realize Grim is nearby until he punches me in the face, and my nose explodes.
Stunned by the blow, and with blood running down the back of mythroat,Grimgrabs my legs and flips me onto my front. Hepullsmyassinto the air, andBuckandButchholdmy arms with brute strength. Before I can even think about trying to get out of theposition,painsplits me in the middle whenGrimthrusts his hardcockinside me.
A scream flies from my mouth, earning me a slap on my ass cheek as Grim says, “That’s right, you fucking whore, scream for me.”
Enormous tears streak down my face, mixing with blood and snot as Grim pounds fiercely into me, and I can’t stop the cries of sorrow leaving me, even though my sobs are spurring Grim on.
“Fuck!” Grim hisses, his fingers digging into my thighs. “This is a good fucking pussy, right here. You boys are gonna love feeling how she clenches around your cocks. What do you think, Mills? Want to watch all my boys fuck your fiancèe?”
My fingersdiginto the carpet as I try and breathe through thepainconsuming me, and I silently beg for someone to help us before anyone else canrapeme. Before it’s too late.
With another few grunts,Grimgroans aswarmthfills me, and I want tovomit. I’ve never had a man come inside me before.Ericand I always used condoms. Ihatethe way I feel hisreleaseslide out of me as hepullsaway.
Numbness sweeps through me, and my body turns limp like a ragdoll. I wantto die.
“Roll her over,” Grim instructs menacingly.
I don’t resist asButchandBuckroll me onto my back, and I’m pulled into asittingposition, held up by one of them. Maybe even both of them, I can’t tell, I’m toofocusedonEric.
His cheeks are stained withtears, and as I stare into his eyes, I know they’vebrokenhim. Just like they’vebrokenme.
Grim moves to stand next to Eric, his cock tucked away, but his jeans hang open. He snatches the knife from Pyro but keeps the blade against Eric’s throat as a sneer twists on his face.
“Don’t worry, sister,”Grimsays, his eyes filled withhate.“You’ll see himagain. When we’re done with you, we’ll send you to the afterlife to be with him.”
He drags the knife against Eric’s throat, and my world crumbles before my eyes.
I wasn't sure when I collapsed on the ground, but I brushed mytearsawaywith the back of my hand and got to my feet, my legs shaking from the lingering images.
But with a wave of fresh determination, I shook the memory away, needingto focus and not allow the ghosts of my past to distract me. Easier said than done, especially with the way the torture wasspreadingthrough my entire body at being so close to those who inflicted thedevastationin the first place.
I didn’t know how much time had passed while I’d been lost in mymemories, but when the moonlight glinted offGrim’sspade, I was reminded that my time was running out. I’d lost a day because of the time I spent withMason, and my deadline was looming.
Not that I had any regrets. Spending the rest of eternity in the in-betweenwould have been worth it for what I experienced withMason. Guilt did fill me at first, but as more of mymemoriescame back, the guilt eased.Erichad known about my feelings forMason, and instead of making me cut him from my life,Ericaccepted it.
Accepted that I loved them both.
Our future would have been an interesting one had we been allowed to live.But the three assholes who were currently showing no remorse fordiggingup mygravemade sure none of us would get our future.
I refused to let them go on any longer.
“Looking for me?” Three sets of eyes snapped to where I appeared from the shadows.
“What. The. Fuck?” Pyro said at the same time Butch said, “No fucking way.”
Grimremained silent, his eyes narrowed on me. With the light from themoon beaming down on us, I watchedPyro’sjaw drop, while Butch’s features contorted into disbelief.
“Itwasn’tenough for you torapeandmurderme, but you had to come andruin mypeace, too.”I nodded to mygrave, a pang of anguish stabbing me when I caught the words engraved in my tombstone.
