Page 42 of Make Her Bleed
"This is fucked up," Nico says as he looks around at all of us. "We don't hide shit from Kai. Why would he keep this from us? It's not a big deal for us to have to wrap our dicks."
He has a point.
Sure, we don't exactly enjoy having to wear condoms but it's the responsible thing to do.
"I have a few theories but nobody is going to like them," I say. All eyes fall on me. "First, it's one of his methods of torturing. Making her freak out that one of us could get her pregnant."
"Problem with that is it will happen if she's not on birth control," Nico contributes. "It's been over a week since the time in the classroom. If she got … let's just say the damage is already be done."
"Fucking Kai," Rowe growls with irritation.
"My other theory is … that's exactly his plan."
"What is?" Dax presses, less defensive.
"For her to get knocked up."
"That's a little far-fetched," Nico mutters.
"He's only ever told us six of the ten steps of C-4. We don't know what the final four are. We know that number six concerns Kaylee and what we have to do to her. It's fucked up, and each step just gets worse."
They fall silent again, knowing I'm right.
"I have no idea what he has done to her when we're not here but it has her so scared, we can't just stand by and do nothing to help her. Unless, of course, you don't care about her as much as you say you do. If that's the case, then, by all means, ignore me. I'm just wasting my breath." I only stop because I hear the sound of a door open. I turn and watch as Aria slips out of my room, rubbing her eyes.
Her red locks are wild, probably more so from how I fucked her right after we woke up; she’s mildly unsteady on her feet, too. Sleep is still clear on her face as she steps into the kitchen.
"Morning, sleepyhead," Rowe greets her.
She sends him a small smile before she walks right over to me and pulls me into a deep, needy kiss. The only reason I don't pin her body to the wall and keep kissing her is because of the catcalls the guys let out.
They should be jealous but we agreed not to let jealousy get between us. We're brothers who happen to be nuts over the same girl.
"Alright, that's enough," I say as Aria pulls away and goes to the sink, getting herself a glass of water.
"I'm digging the hair, Aria," Rowe jokes.
I send him a death glare. There's no need to make fun of her.
"Oh, yeah? All I'm missing is wild makeup, and I could pass for an eighties’ rockstar, right?" she tosses back at him playfully.
She sips her glass and eyes the plates of food Nico has made.
He didn't make a plate for her and we all know why.
Kai's strict diet of turkey for her.
She's starving and she can't force herself to eat much turkey at a time. This is bullshit.
"Come on, pretty girl. Sit. You can eat my food," I say, sitting in my chair at the table. She eyes it skeptically as the others groan.
"Man, you know what Kai said," Dax spits.
"Fuck what Kai said," I growl as she takes her seat in my lap.
"It's okay. I don't want to get you in trouble, baby," she mutters as she clutches my hand.
Rowe coughs and nearly swallows his tongue in shock from the pet name she uses.
