Stay with me,her eyes said.

Yes, yes. With you,I replied.

Hands held down my head to the left, and I lost her. My heart pounded as I got harder in her mouth. Harder and harder. My cock throbbed and I came, I came into my haven, that mouth. Serena’s fingertips dug into my legs.

A sharp sting lashed my cheek. A glint of steel flashed over me.

They’re cutting me!

Another searing sting.

Hands turned my head to the other side.

The slashes carved on my skin stung and blared with pain. I held back the scream, held it back with every ounce of grit and resolve I had left in me. The coppery taste in my mouth, a thickness on my tongue. My blood. So many eyes loomed over me, grins, bitter hate and bitter fun all swirled into a lunatic kaleidoscope.

“You scribble good with that knife, bro!” Med said. “What pretty, pretty F’s, huh?”

“From now on, no more fuck yous from the Flames,” replied the scribbler. He let out a rich, rolling laugh that ended in a fit of coughing.

Serena was pulled off me, and I was exposed. Cold. Alone. Decimated.

I gave in.

I screamed.

Stinging.

My face.

Numb.

A wall of warmth next to me.

“I’m just changing the bandages. Could’ve been worse.”

My eyes drifted to hers. “You a doctor?” It hurt when I spoke, and I didn’t even recognize my own voice now—scratchy, husky, coarse. Another souvenir of my time here.

“No. I’m not anything,” she said quietly.

You’re wrong. You’re everything.

“They’re dropping you off today at some meeting point, and your club is going to pick you up and take you home.”

Home? A simple word, a simple idea for most. For her and me? My home. Her home. Whatever the fuck.

“They’ll get you a doctor, right?” she said. “If you’re hungry, I brought soup. It’s from a can, but it’s good. I like it.”

I shook my head slightly. “Everything hurts, I can’t.”

“I’ll help you.”

“No.”

“I want to. Please.”

Her low, emotional voice danced over my skin. My eyes lifted to hers. Had anyone ever said the word please to me before? No. It was alwaysdo this, clean it up, get that done, bring that, fetch, stop. Drink, kill, set it on fire. Now. Go.Never once aplease.
