“Sampling the merchandise, of course. Got to make sure her pussy is ready for our clients.” Greyson’s words sting and burn into my skin. My entire body stills at the words that just came out of his mouth. I know he’s putting on an act, but that doesn’t make it hurt any less. Since we met that first day, he’s been pretending to be just like his father whenever we’re around any of the adults here, but when we’re alone, he’s so sweet to me. Sometimes his sudden attitude change gives me whiplash.

“Does Omega know about this?” The man’s voice is timid, but he still stands strong.

“Yes, he does. Are you questioning me? Should I tell my father that you’re disrespecting the person who keeps you alive? Who helps you feed your family? Should I do that?” Greyson takes a step toward the guard, crossing his arms over his chest.

“Uh... Of course not, sir. It won’t happen again.” The man drops his eyes to the ground as he takes a step back.

“That’s what I thought. Now move.” Greyson moves back toward me, grabbing my upper arm in a tight grip.

“Yes, sir. You made a good pick, she’s a fine piece of ass.” The man tries to joke with Greyson, but that was a mistake. Growling, Greyson drops my arm and lands a punch to the guard’s face, causing him to slump against the wall. I gasp, but quickly cover my mouth to prevent drawing anyone else’s attention.

“If you even so much as look at her again, I’ll kill you. I’ll become your worst nightmare. You’ll be begging me to end your sad, pathetic life by the time I’m done with you,” Greyson calmly whispers in the man's ear as he slides down to the ground.

He comes back, grabbing me in the same place on my arm as before. Once we get out of view of the guard, he drops it and tenderly latches onto my hand again, giving it a squeeze. We keep walking in silence until his voice cuts through the air.

“I didn’t mean that. I just had to say it so he’d believe me. That was too close, and I was scared.” He rubs his thumb across my hand, trying to reassure me.

“I know.” My voice is soft. “It hurt a little, but I know why you did it.”

He quickly stops and turns to face me. Cupping my face with his hands, his eyes plead with me to believe him. I reach out and pull him in for a hug.

“It’s okay, I know you didn’t mean it.” Without saying anything more, I pull back from him so we can keep moving.

We finally reach the door that leads outside and my heart begins to beat faster. This is it, Greyson really did this. He kept his promise.

I’m getting out of here.

I’m free.

We slowly push the door open, looking both ways before slipping outside. Staying glued to the wall of the building, we inch our way closer to the corner. I can’t see anyone around and the coast looks clear. Just as we get ready to make a dash for the gate, I hear a clapping sound behind me.

My dreams of getting out shatter with that sound.

“Well, well, well. Look what we have here.”

My entire body freezes, ice flooding my veins at that voice. Greyson’s entire body is stiff, but he refuses to let go of my hand. Slowly, we turn around to face the devil towering over us.

“Have you been fucking her this entire time, my boy?” His father’s chuckle echoes through the cold air, making goosebumps cover my entire body. “Don’t have anything to say? Pussy got your tongue? Speak, boy.” Omega steps closer to us.

Greyson drops my hand, moving his body in front of mine. “Just do whatever you have planned and get it over with, father.” He practically spits out that last word. As soon as the words leave his lips, a punch lands to his face, the dull thud echoing through the air.

“Watch that mouth of yours. If you want to live to see another day, I suggest you learn your place.” His father lands another punch to his face, making him stumble back into me. I want to reach out to steady him, but I’m too afraid. Greyson doesn’t fight, he just takes each punch, shielding me. He’s putting his body in the line of fire for me.

“Take her back inside now. Let’s go.”

“No.” Greyson spits blood onto the ground as he stands up to his father.

Instead of reacting, the evil asshole just laughs maniacally again, which is never a good sign. “What was that? I thought I heard you say no.” He gives the biggest grin, flashing his perfectly white teeth. “Go inside now, or I’ll make things worse for you.”

“Do your worst.” Greyson lunges at him, but his dad is surprisingly fast, sidestepping Greyson’s attack and quickly approaching me. A yelp leaves my lips as I try to run away, but he grabs onto my hair, yanking me back.

My back is pressed against his chest as he grips my hair tightly. Greyson is on his feet now, facing us. His chest is heaving up and down, and his hands are clenched into fists. He doesn’t make any attempt to move closer to us, unsure of what his father will do.

“Son, I’ll give you two choices. You defied me tonight—you went behind my back and betrayed me. For that, you have to pay.” He moves his hand to my waist and pulls me closer against him. Another eerie laugh leaves his lips, and I’m terrified of what he’s about to say.

“Option one is for you to take this fine little beauty and beat her black and blue, until she’s no longer able to stand, let alone defy me again. Option two is for you to watch as I fuck her tight pussy raw, making her bleed all over my cock. What will it be?”

My body stills. Who the hell says stuff like this? I’m shaking now from fear. Both of those options are horrific, but I know which one I’d prefer.
