Page 10 of Savage Sin

My gaze jumps to my left. Stefan has two guards holding my sister’s ample weight up on either side and there’s blood coating her lips. She never learned to keep quiet and blend in. A problem we both share. I blame it on my Hispanic blood and the fire of vengeance.

She’s thrown at my mother’s feet, her belly so big. She doesn’t have much time left. Tears sting my eyes and the fight in me suddenly dies. Our eyes connect. This is not how tonight was supposed to turn out.

“Gabriella,” I wail, uncaring about my wellbeing. I try to push my way free and run to her, but I’m locked in place by the iron grip on my wrists. I’m bone dry whenelRusoshoves a finger inside me. “Fuck you,” I roar with so much raw anger. I grit and bear the pain, but nothing can stop my knees from shaking. Needles of fire pierce my flesh. Oh, God. Did he break my virginity?

“You fucking bastard,” I seethe, and he locks me against him. Our noses touch and the rest of me is no better off. I know my words mean nothing to him, but I am not weak, damn it. I am a Castel and we don’t go down easily. “When you die, may the devil use your soul to stoke the flames of hell and you bear the weight of your sins forever, cabrón!”

ElRusoshoves in another finger and this time, he winds his arms around me. I buck against his crushing strength and try to get free, but it’s not working.

“Da, malyshka. Fight me,” he rumbles in an animalistic growl that reverberates from him to me. “The more you fight, the harder my dick gets. Maybe I will share you with your step-father. He can fuck that virgin ass and I’ll take your blood on my cock.”

Acid gurgles in the pit of my stomach.

My step-father’s hot breath is on my neck, his arousal pressing against the cleft of my ass. He turns my head until I’m looking at my sister again. “That was supposed to be you. There’s nothing that keeps me from correcting past mistakes. I can ruin you in so many ways and then sell you like leftover trash after I’ve bred you over and over again. Maybe I should keep you,” he whispers in one ear while Silas hisses in the other. Shudders of fear play with my nerve endings.

“I can’t believe you were my father’s best friend.”

“Persephone, stop fighting them. We can’t do this. Please.” My sister clutches at her stomach and winces in what must be terrible pain. Our step-brother pushes the guards away and presses a loaded gun to the back of her head.

“Don’t worry, Gabby. Everything will be fine,” I lie. Silas pulls his fingers from between my legs and wipes his bloody fingers down the front of my camisole. I can cry later.

“I am taking her back to Russia. Joaquin, I will be back in two weeks with my end of the deal. You have that long to get my money for the first batch.” He looks at me. “Your down payment will only get you so far with my generosity.”

So I’m payment? I didn’t see that coming.

“Let me prepare her for travel for you, Señor Antonov.” My step-brother starts toward me and the closer he gets, the faster my feet move in the opposite direction. Or at least I try. It’s hard to go anywhere with my step-father pinning me to him with a death grip on my arms.

Chills sweep over me.

I scan for the fastest way to reach my sister, but there are two guards and my step-brother between us.

Fuck.

Silas is at my side, his fingers digging into my hair. “Don’t even try it. Run and I will cut the unborn child from her and kill them both in front of you.” The truth of his promise shines deep in his dark eyes.

Silas’ threat arrows through me and strikes me in the heart.

With a heaving chest, I give in. “Está bien.I’ll do what you want. Just don’t hurt her.” I keep my eyes on Gabriella and force my mind away from my pain.

A deep chuckle emanates from the assholes. “Good girl,” Joaquin murmurs in a saccharine tone. He releases me and I realize he was more into scaring me than actually fucking me in front of everyone. I want to sag to the floor in relief. He only likes it when the women fight back.

His hand moves from my shoulder to grip my throat and I can’t do anything but let him take full control over me. My head falls back against his shoulder with the amount of force in his grip and the wicked glint in the Russian’s eyes is a prelude to what is coming.

“You’re going withelRuso,and whatever he wants to do with you is up to him. I’ve already given him the number to a very good auction house with the Society 69. I think he should fuck you and then sell you. But I’m done with traitors. Your ass isn’t worthy of my cum. Say goodbye to your sister.” I’m shoved into hell and the devil’s arm coils around me, his eyes black with sin.

“Cry for me,malyshka.” Silas demands in a grating rumble of hard vowels.

Searing pain explodes through me. I can’t breathe. My knees grow weak. Fire rushes through me.

“Mija!” My mother storms forward, fear in her eyes.

“Load her up with the rest of them.” Someone snaps their fingers. There’s a blur of motion around me. Someone screams. Mom? Gabriella? I know I need to get to them, but my feet feel heavy and freezing.

I stare down in shock at the blade jutting out of my side, unable to focus on anything but the color of my blood.

Total blackness takes over.
