  “You know, if you’d had woken your beautiful little ass up earlier this morning, I’d have given you the orgasm you seem to desperately need,” Snake says quietly beside me as we walk through the Ink & Arms exhibits again.

  He’s just kicked my hornets’ nest.

  “You seem to think because you have a dick, it’s the answer to everything,” I’m snarling, I know it, and I don’t give a crap.

  He laughs that open and real and beautiful fucking laugh that makes my toes curl and my heart soar.

  I want to punch him.

  “No hellion, but anyone who’s as bitchy as you are right now definitely needs to blow off some steam. And in a good way.”

  “Now you’re calling me a bitch?” I want to hit him and kiss him, maybe at the same time, he’s making me crazy.

  “At this precise moment? No. Two seconds ago, yes.” He winks at me.

  He’s making this so hard. I know what I have to do, and the only way I can do that is to keep my self constructed steel walls erected. That damn smile and his wink tears it down bit by bit.

  Summer and I have spent the day with the guys talking with their contacts in that cryptic hidden message kind of way that secret sectors do. To be honest, I’ve been enthralled by how their world works. It seems that everyone and everything has something to tell them, whether it be something as obvious as a verbal communication or curtains moving on the other side of the room. This is all new to me. I’ve lived my life in the shadows, prowling with the underbelly of society. I’ve lived in the dark in every facet of my life, whereas now I feel I’ve emerged from the deepest depths of the dark out into the light, and it’s Snake who’s pulled me there.

  His warmth has bathed me in something that’s going to kill me to let go of.

  Better me than him.

  I couldn’t live with myself if I brought any more problems into his life.

  He thinks I was a bitch before? He ain’t seen nothing yet.

  “Listen, I appreciate the entertainment, but this…,” I wave my hand back and forth between us, “has lost its fun. I’m out.”

  With that, I turn on my heel and walk away.

  It takes everything in me not to turn around to look at Snake. I don’t hear anything in the crowded room, my ears are only focused on his voice, trained to hear only him. My heart is being torn from my chest with each step. I feel like I’m abandoning them, Snake, Summer, Rock, even Gringo.

  Don’t worry, we’ve got you.

  NO ONE has ever gotten me before. Not even Joey when we were kids. He was in it for the rush, to make a name for himself, a means to prove himself to his father and all the connected men in the neighborhood. Even back then he’d been using me.

  His words reach me before his hand does. “Don’t fuck with me, hellion. I’m not one of those punks you’re used to.” Snake’s hand grips my shoulder and his fingers dig into my flesh.

  I want to moan right here and now.

  But I don’t. “Do you really want to do this? Here?” I throw him a look over my shoulder, fixing him with the hardest, coldest, fakest glare I can muster.

  Don’t give in, don’t cave. You’ve got to do this!

  “We can do this anywhere you’d like,” he whispers, it’s full of promises and threats.

  A heated tremor slithers through my body and coils tightly right between my legs.

  “Don’t flatter yourself, Priest,” I sneer at him. If I wasn’t such a good liar, there’d be no way I’d be able to pull this whole façade off. “I told you, I’m out. This whole thing,” I look over his shoulder to Rock and Summer approaching us, “is too much trouble. It’s not worth it.”

  Not letting go of me, his eyes move back and forth slowly over my eyes, reading me, stripping me, shredding every layer from me, until there’s nothing left.

  “You’re lying. Besides, I know you’re well aware of the fact that if you stepped one foot out this door, you’re fucked. But that’s not what’s keeping you here…,” his face inches closer to mine. “Is it, demon?”

  It seems my voice has been ripped from my throat because I can’t utter a sound. I can’t spill not one single lie more.

  He stands, his hand is a vice grip around my arm, and starts to pull me through the door. “Apparently my little bird needs a reminder. Let’s go.”

  He drags me through the throngs of people, and I’m silently singing a chorus of halleluiah’s, but he can’t know that.

  “And what exactly is it that I need to be reminded of?” I feign irritation and boredom.

  He laughs. The cocky bastard laughs. “Where you belong,” is his answer.

  The most perfect answer I could ever want to hear. But also the most painful.

  I don’t acknowledge his words because I can’t deny them. There’s nothing else I want more.

  “Now you’ve taken to kidnapping?” I sling at him instead.

  “It’s not kidnapping if that’s where you were headed.”

  Shit. He’s right.

  As we pass through the crowded lobby, I glance around as my feet skip along the tiled floor, Snake’s moving so fast. That’s when I see the man who led us to the room where we met with the president of the Steel Brothers. He’s standing next to a column and he’s speaking with someone else, but they’re hidden and I can’t make out who it is.

  “You see them, don’t you hellion?” He throws me a look over his shoulder but he doesn’t slow down. “They’re all over the place. Watching. Waiting. You never know where they’ll come from. They’re like cockroaches, and just as filthy.”

  A flash of rage shoots through me. Not because of the danger that’s out here for me, but for the two contracts, the unknown assassins looking for them.

  I said I’d never kill again, but anyone who threatens this man, I’d slice their fucking throats without thinking.

  As we stand waiting for the elevator, his hold on my wrist is painful, but it’s so good.

  One more time. I’ll allow myself one more time, then I’m gone.

  CHAPTER 25

  Snake

  She wants to fuck with me? Fine.

  But there is no way I’m allowing her to put herself in danger. NO. Fucking. Way!

  She was lying, I know she was lying. But why? What is she hiding? What is she running from? Why is she running? From me?

  It pissed me off.

  When we finally got to the room, I practically flung her inside.

  I don’t lose my shit easily, but that, what she just tried to pull, had me seeing nothing but red.

  Blood red. Hers. All over the place.

  I was furious.

  She’s not leaving. I’ll tie her down and keep her here if I have to until this is all over.

  “Now that we don’t have an audience,” I turn to her, my rage reduced to a simmer, “do you want to tell me what the fuck you thought you were doing back there?”

  “What part didn’t you understand? The one where it’s too much trouble? Or the part where I’m leaving?” she retorts, her high heeled foot tapping furiously on the floor.

  “Neither. The part where you’re fucking lying to me,” I step closer to her.

  Her jaw tenses as she flattens her lips into a tight line.

  “At least you have enough sense not to spill anymore bullshit. YOU don’t throw yourself in front of a group of maniacs waiting to carve you up. YOU don’t do stupid shit.” I take another step; she takes one in retreat. “You survive. You’re smart,” another step, then another, until she’s backed against the table and there’s nowhere else for her to go. “Why?” I whisper when my body is close enough to press into hers.

  Her chest is rising and falling rapidly, her face is flushed. She’s feeling everything I am. Yet she was running.

  She still refuses to answer me. So I’ll do it for her.

  “You care.” My words are soft, but they’re loaded with everything she won’t say.

  Her eyes go wide, but just as quickly, she pulls the shutters over her expr
ession once again. Too late, everything I needed to know was all over her face in that fraction of a second.

  “The thing is, hellion,” raising a finger, I stroke it along the curves of her face, “this doesn’t lie.” I trace my finger down the column of her neck, then along the edge of her collar bone. “Neither does this,” then lower still until I’m grazing the tip of her hardened nipple beneath the fabric of her shirt. “You see, the truth is as clear as the ink on your skin.” I pull the point between two fingers and pinch. “I see it written all over you.” I stare into her eyes. “You can’t hide it from me.” A look of longing fills her eyes and it breaks my heart. “It’s fucking beautiful.” She pulls in a long slow breath. But she still doesn’t say anything.

  Raven may be a lot of things, but she’s not a liar.

  I let go of her nipple and grip her chin firmly and hold her gaze. “I told you, you need a reminder. Take your clothes off and get on your knees.”

  She licks her lips. “What do I need to be reminded of?” There’s still a tone of defiance in her voice.

  Good. It’ll make this that much sweeter.

  “Of where you belong.” I smile slowly at her. “And who you belong to. Now take off your fucking clothes and get on your goddamn knees.” My voice is a steely whisper.

  She sucks in another shaky breath. Staring into the green depths of her eyes, I lick her lips, outlining them with my tongue, before pulling the lower one with my teeth. Then I step back and drop my hand. And wait.

  Never breaking our stare, she pulls her clothes from her ripe little body piece by piece, and with each one, I get harder and harder.

  Taming a demon has never been so good.

  She’s completely naked and standing in front of me, her chin up in either pride or defiance, to me it makes no difference, I could give two fucks. She needs to know where she stands, where we stand, and she needs to know now.

  “On your knees.”

  Her chin kicks up another notch.

  I quirk an eyebrow at her. “Now.”

  Despite her show of emotion, her nipples are hard and her skin is flushed. This is exactly what she wants.

  “Take my cock out.” My hands are at my sides with my command.

  Her eyes flick to the bulge in my pants as she unconsciously pulls her lip between her teeth. Edging her way closer to me on her knees, her tits bouncing as she goes, she reaches her hands up, opens the button and zipper, pulls them down with my briefs until my erection springs free. I don’t move as I watch her. Her eyes lift to meet mine as she waits for more instructions.

  “Lick it, hellion.”

  A slow devious smile curves her lips.

  She does. She dips her head into me and traces her tongue along the crown. I dip my head back and moan.

  I’d let her torture me for hours with only her tongue, it’s so good.

  The door to the suite opens. Rock and Summer have arrived.

  It’s show time.

  Raven closes her mouth over the tip of my dick and sucks.

  I suck in a breath. Evil little demon.

  “What the fuck was going on?” Rock grumbles behind me.

  She wants to play? Let’s play then.

  “It’s what’s going on now. Get your fucking clothes off and come here,” I grit out tightly.

  Raven’s tongue stills as her eyes shoot to mine. I smirk down at her. She squeezes my thickness and sucks in sharply. My smile only grows bigger, just like my dick.

  “A show? I love shows,” Summer’s voice chimes.

  I hear rustling behind me, then Rock’s at my side, dick in hand, he’s already hard, his length is sticking straight out in front of him.

  “To answer your question,” I grab his cock and guide him toward Raven’s mouth, “our little hellion needed a reminder of where she belongs.” I give her a hard stare. “And to whom.” Her eyes shift to Rock’s hard-on, her mouth still on me. “Open wide and take us both,” I tell her.

  Her eyes move slowly from mine to Rock’s as she lifts her other hand and encircles Rock’s girth. Pulling her head back and turning her face to the side, Rock moves his hips so his tip is touching mine, Fuck, that feels good!, she twirls her tongue around both of us. Closing her eyes, Raven whispers roughly, “Where do I belong?” She opens her eyes and looks both of us in the eyes, daring us to answer as she lowers her mouth onto both our cocks.

  “Right here with us,” I growl, resisting the urge to ram her full of me.

  Her hands slide down our shafts, then she cups our sacks. “Who do I belong to?” Her eyes are full of sin and daring.

  My heart fucking swells. “To me.”

  Slowly her lids dip and she breathes in deeply and squeezes.

  “She may be yours, but right now she’s ours. Isn’t that right, little bird?” Rocks asks her, daring her to deny it.

  Her eyes open and flick from my face to his, then she dips her head once. Yes.

  Mine.

  Ours.

  I almost choke with all of the overwhelming emotions I’m feeling. Instead, I tilt my head back and get lost on the feeling of Raven’s mouth sucking on both of us, on the velvety hardness of Rock rubbing against me, on remembering how it felt to be inside both of them.

  “You belong to us now, hellion, and that means Summer too.” My gaze is locked with Raven’s. They glass over. I don’t know whether she wants to cry, or it’s because her mouth is full of cock, but I want to kiss her so bad and let her know she’s safe now, that everything will be alright. No matter what.

  “Get your clothes off, princess, and get on the bed. You’re going to eat Raven’s sweet pussy, get her nice and ready for us,” Rock tells Summer as he strokes Raven’s hair.

  I hear Summer shuffling around behind us, she’s probably tearing her clothes off. Raven’s watching her, her mouth never stopping its adoration on us.

  Slipping a hand under her chin, it’s wet from her spit, I tell Raven, “Rock is going to fuck your ass while I’m buried balls deep in that beautiful cunt of yours.” The hand she’s holding our sacks with flinches and squeezes us tightly once again.

  “Fuck, woman,” Rock growls.

  “Think of it, my cock sliding against his inside of you,” she pulls her mouth away to lick her lips. “Summer’s going to worship your pussy first until you scream.” Rock pulls back and strokes himself. I rub her saliva over her mouth, then slip two fingers in. “Two cocks, hellion, mine and his,” she closes her mouth over my fingers as her eyes slide shut. I bend and place my mouth at her ear as I tease a nipple with my free hand. “Because you’re mine, you belong here. With us.” My tongue swirls around the shell of her ear. I press my mouth against her flesh and whisper, “I know what you were doing. You can’t hide anything from me.” I’m twisting and pinching the pebbled point. She glides a hand up my calf to my thigh. “You were running because you fucking care.” I slip my fingers from her mouth and grip her chin. My mouth slams onto hers and I kiss her like I’m going to fuck her. “We’re going to fuck you together because we care. And you belong to us. Now get on the bed because Summer’s waiting to lick your cunt.”

  Her eyes are locked on mine. They’re filled with lust, fury, need, and hope.

  I can give her all of that. More. Because, fuck me, I love the pain in the ass, her psycho bitch, her danger and her darkness, her pain and fucking beauty. I love her. And I’m going to. At least I can right now.

  “Fuck you,” she whispers roughly.

  “We intend to.” I grip her hair and pull her to a standing position.

  “Then let’s go,” she saunters past us, her curvy hips swaying as she goes.

  Rock and I follow behind her. Summer’s waiting with one hand moving slowly over her slit and the other teasing a nipple with a sultry smile on her face. Slowly Raven crawls to her as Rock and I stop and watch at the foot of the bed. But she doesn’t lay down for Summer. Instead she lowers her face between Summer’s thighs and starts to feast.

  “Rebellious little bird,
” Rock mumbles next to me.

  “You have no idea.”

  “But she looks good at it.”

  “They both do.”

  Summer’s face is a mask of ecstasy. It’s a beautiful fucking sight, Raven’s colorful skin and dark hair against Summer’s pale creamy flesh. Summer shifts so that she’s under Raven and feasting on her as well. Rock and I watch them enjoying the pleasure they’re giving to each other, the sounds of tongue’s licking and mouths sucking, fingers plunging into their holes, and the mewls and moans coming from both women. We begin to stroke each other, and kiss with our gazes still locked on the women we love as they love each other. When their moans grow louder and faster, we know they’re coming.

  I walk to the nightstand and get the lube, then return to Rock.

  “This cock is going to be inside her virgin ass,” I tell him as I cover his length with the gel.

  His hand grips my dick. “Right against this one in her pussy.”

  A jolt of desire shoots through me. I’ve been looking forward to this probably since the first moment I laid eyes on my hellion. My dick pulses with anticipation.

  I grit my teeth and squeeze my shaft as I lay down on my back, feet on the floor. The women are still writhing against each other behind me, probably riding out the last tremors of their orgasm.

  She’s going to be nice and wet.

  “Come here, hellion.”

  Raven crawls on top of me. Her face is covered in Summer’s wetness.

  “Let me taste her on you,” I grit out as her pull her face to mine and lick her clean.

  She begins to rub herself against me, her sex saturated with saliva and come.

  Feeding her knees over my thighs so she’s open wide, I whisper huskily against her mouth, “It’s time for more.” My heart is jack hammering against my chest. I’ve never wanted to be inside anyone with Rock as badly as I do with Raven.

  I want to blow her fucking mind.

  “Yes,” she breathes heavily.

  Rock’s got a hold of my shaft. He positions me at her entrance, and I slip inside.

  Just fuck yes!

  Raven’s rubbing her greedy clit against my pelvic bone. She’s so ready. I know the instant Rock inserts a finger into her ass because I can feel him rubbing me too. She moans long and deep, it’s a chorus to my ears.
