Page 45 of Room Six

My heart breaks for my friend.

Danika walks past me, his hand outstretched. “Raja Mustafa, thank you for taking care of her when we could not. Our depth of gratitude knows no limits. Call on us. Anything you may need is yours. Anything.”

Dark brown eyes land on me. There is so much pain behind those thick black lashes I feel it to the core of my being.

“Take care of her. Harm her again and I will see the wrath of hell unleashed on you.”

I struggle against Rune’s tight hold on me. “You can’t do this. I work here. I’m off-limits.” I know I am grasping at straws, but can you blame me?

Being completely naked and still wet, Rune’s hold on me slips. I take advantage of the moment. I rush for the door without a plan.

“Whoa, you’re not getting out of here.” Rough hands catch me around the waist and I am pulled into a hard body. I swivel my head to find it’s Oliver keeping me prisoner this time.

“I didn’t sign a contract. Club rules,” I try again.

“Behave, Magnolia. I don’t recall you being such a stickler for rules our first night,” he purrs in my ear like a dirty secret.

“Fuck you!” I growl back snipping at him. He jerks back just in time to keep his earlobe.

“Mm, yes. I’m going to enjoy doing just that. Eleven months is a long time to go without you.” He slowly grinds himself against me. He’s soaked through and for a second I want to strip him out of his clothes and see his body dripping with all that water.

I hate how weak I am but damn, who would blame me?

Me. I would blame myself. Sometimes I want to kick my own ass.

Skirting the entrance to the rabbit hole of my emotions, I give up the struggle and rethink my exit strategy.

Danika walks up to me and tips my chin up. Holding my gaze he says, “You said come and catch me if you can. Raja, does that sound like an invitation and permission to use Room Six to you?” Danika speaks to Raja, but it’s me getting the full force of his steel-laden gaze. He’s come here with one goal. Won’t he be surprised when Raja tells him no!

Unable to do more than look in Raja’s direction, I see the traitor nod in agreement and then I hear two words seal my fate. “It does,” Raja confirms.

Motherfucker.

My back molars will break any second I’m clenching my jaw so tight. “Fucking traitor.” I fight Oliver’s hold, but the bastard’s cock is only growing harder the more I struggle.

“Careful, amore mio. I will fuck you in front of your friend if you keep it up. He might actually enjoy watching.”

My chest heaves with the amount of fury coursing through me.

“You wouldn’t dare!”

“I would and will.”

Raja’s smile is slow and filled with heat. His gaze caresses the swell of my bouncing breasts before turning for the door. “It’s best I leave.” Heat turns to pain and the woman in me wants to run after him and give his heart the same pain. With a knife through it!

I don’t know who this murderous villainess inside me is, but I am growing to really like her.

“Treat her like the queen she is,” he says flatly and with that my friend slips from the shed and leaves me to the animals.

Too heartstruck to move, I stand there as I am sealed inside with three villains. Rope comes around my wrists.

“Wait! No!” My brain comes back online. I fight to pull away but there is no escaping the three men on a mission to see me tied up and helpless.

“Don’t look so scared, petals. Have we ever harmed you?”

“I’m not scared. I’m pissed you turned a friend against me and now you think you have the right to touch me.” I snap at the air, narrowly missing the tip of Danika’s nose.

“Whoa, beautiful. I can’t pleasure you if I am bleeding.”
