“Fuck!” I scream, my fist connecting with the hardwood beam of the barn. Katana neighs her displeasure at the outburst, her body moving around the small stall she occupies as she grows annoyed with my presence.
Looking down at my hand I curse. The skin across my knuckles is broken open, blood already dripping down to the dirt covered floor. I close my eyes, dropping my forehead to the wood trying to ground myself once more, to find the calm that I know used to exist in my heart but seems to have vanished long ago.
My hand burns the longer I stay here but I take it, take the pain and use it as my own form of punishment for letting Thea get hurt. Because in the end I deserve so much more than split knuckles for allowing this all to happen. For not finding her like I should have.

My hand holds the phone far from my face, despite the ringing still blaring through, as if the piece of tech is going to rip my face from my body. In reality the person I'm calling may very well do just that or worse. Law, the asshole that he is, refused to help me make this call. Muttering something about me being a brat earlier and needing to learn my lesson. If my damn parents hadn't been in the room I would have dropped to my knees and sucked his cock until he agreed to stay. But alas, neither would leave or take the hint quick enough.
“It's about time that you called me. .” The dark purr of Ace’s voice sends shivers up and down my spine, my cock twitching in my pants.
“Been a little busy out here.” I try to snap back, but I can't seem to keep my voice from shaking and Ace chuckles softly.
“Have you been behaving yourself? I haven’t been able to check the camera yet but I will…” The threat hangs in the air between us.
Fuck… the camera…
“Of course I’ve been behaving.” I counter, hoping my voice doesn’t betray me.
“Were you bound and gagged?” His tone holds a promise of violence, the type that I crave.
“No, sir, I wasn't gagged and bound… though I wish I was.”
“So you are telling me you were just willfully choosing to disobey?”
I take a deep breath, trying to steady the nerves that have suddenly built and are now overshadowing any desire or lust that his tone had inspired. Ace to his credit says nothing, giving me the space I need to think through my words. He's good like that. It's what makes him such a good dominant. “Is your line secure?”
There is a brief pause before a snort, the sound coming out more annoyed than anything. “Of course, I'm on a job. Isyourline secure?” I don't bother to respond to him. To confirm that I already made sure the precautions were up.
“It's Thea…” I finally say trying to ignore the nerves I feel saying her name out loud.
Ace goes utterly silent on the other line. Even his breathing stops. “What about my step sister?” Stepsister. The word sounds so filthy coming from his mouth considering how often I know he's gotten off thinking of her.
“She's here.”
“Say again?” Ace's voice turns to a growl. the words holding a promise of violence but right underneath them is fear.
I take a deep breath studying myself. “She hopped on a bus and managed to get herself to the other side of the pass. I found her after she had fled the bus and had been walking.”
I can't bring myself to say the rest of it over the phone. Partly because I don't want to relive it again. I don't want to have to remember shoving my fingers down her throat to get her to vomit. I don't want to have to remember the seizures. I want to remember the taste of her and the feeling of her tight pussy gripping my cock. But another part, one more important than my own feelings, is wanting Ace to see her before he makes a judgment call.
“You mean to tell me after all this time she just suddenly shows up walking along the pass and you all just let her back into our lives to play house?” The venom that drips from his voice isn't shocking but I wince all the same.
“There is a lot you don’t know. Thatwedidn’t know.” I say.
“Tell me Logan, have you and Law been fucking my step sister?” There's no right way for me to answer this question, either way I'm about to get in a huge amount of trouble. Ace lets out a low sound of disappointment from my silence. “So you have been puttingmycock, the one that I own, into my step sister?”
“Yes sir.”I mutter.
“That is so disappointing.” He left out a dramatic sigh. “Here I thought you might be a good boy for me while I was away and instead I’m having to punish you.” I whimper at the words. My cock tenting my pants.
“Are you hard, Logan?”
