Jayden gets up and stands over me. “We’ll have every part of you. Even that rebellious spirit you try and keep locked away. You’re ours, kitten.” He leans down and gives me a light kiss on the forehead. Cole follows suit. “And there’s nothing you can do to stop it.”
He stands up and throws on a shirt.
I look at the ripped pieces of my own shirt and glare. “I only have one left. Thanks a lot.” I rub my thighs together.
Jayden cocks an eyebrow. “Well, let’s go get you more. And if you touch yourself before you beg for my dick, I won’t feed Sage.”
My nostrils flare. “You wouldn’t dare.”
He shrugs. “Try me.”
I throw myself out of Jayden’s bed and start sliding on my pants before it registers. Wait. Did he say to go shopping? I snap my gaze between the two of them. Cole looks equally surprised.
Jayden is finishing up dressing and casually throws on a pair of shoes.
“Like, shopping?”
“Yeah.” He’s slipping on a pair of shoes.
“And I can go?”
He sighs. “They’re foryou.”
I look around and then back at him. He looks like he’s being serious. He’d risk that?
He opens the closet, and I hear beeping before he tucks something in his pants. A Glock. “This isn’t a chance for you to run, kitten. Throw a shirt on.”
I jump to obey. I keep thinking he’ll say psych and punish me for wanting to go, but we walk to the front door. He sees I don’t have shoes and heads back upstairs. He comes down with a pair of slides that are way too big for me, but I’m not complaining. I keep glancing at his face. It’s impassive, as always.
“Is this another test?” I ask as I get into the back seat of the truck. Cole slides in next to me. He’s also tucked a gun into his waistband.
“Not unless you make it one, kitten.”
He starts the car. I let his asshole behavior go for a minute, and excitement floods my veins. I’m leaving! And I’m not being drug out. I’m going to see other people for the first time in…forever. My eyes tear up. For a second, I feel real gratitude towards Jayden for letting me get out. Then I realized how fucked up that is.
We roll out of the driveway. Other people. Real life. They can help me. I just have to get a message to them or get away from them long enough. I run through options in my head as we drive down the dirt driveway and turn right onto a paved road. It’s just forest and hills around us now. I can use the bathroom and talk to someone in there. Maybe I can even grab one of their guns. Would I be able to shoot them?
I look between both of them. At first, I would have said yes all day long. Would have killed them without a second thought. And I hate that there’s any hesitation right now. Of course, they deserve to die. They’re going to hurt Sage. They have hurt Sage.
But not me. At least not in the way they’ve hurt her. My heart grows somber.
The clock on the dash says six thirty.
Jayden sees me glance at the clock in the rear-view mirror. “Want to pass the time, kitten? I seem to remember you didn’t come.”
Cole slides closer to me. He winks at me before sliding his hand over my hip and between my pants and skin. I don’t stop him. I know it’s useless to try, and he’ll get off if I do. He starts circling my clit in gentle motions. He and Jayden start up a conversation about the weather and how we’re supposed to get more snow.
Soon I’m looking out the window and biting my lip, trying to ignore both of them. I’m already worked up, and Cole makes me feel good. So much better than anyone else has been able to do besides Jayden. But he doesn’t let me come. I didn’t think he would. He continues teasing me until we start to get into a more populated area. Until now, there’s only been the occasional mailbox and driveway.
I sit up straighter and watch houses roll by. We roll up to a stop light, and Cole pinches my clit. I jump, worked up and horny. He leans into my neck. “No running, little one. As much as I would enjoy chasing you down, I don’t think the woman in that car ahead of us would enjoy a bullet in the brain because she witnessed it.”
He kisses my neck and leans back, rubbing again. I shiver and look at the car ahead of us. It’s dark out, but I can see it’s a maroon SUV with some sort of decal in the back window. He wouldn’t hurt her…would he?
I put my hand on Cole’s wrist to try and get him away from me. I glance up at him. He’s looking at me. His face is serious.
I turn away. I’m overstimulated and jumpy. But I know if I tell him to stop, he’ll do it even more. I sit quietly until we pull into the Walmart parking lot.
“I know you heard what Cole said.” Jayden turns to look at me. “If you try to get help, if you try to pass a message, that person is going to die. We’ll make it quiet and discrete. Think about how easily we picked up you and Sage. Don’t make these innocent people have the same fate.”
