Chapter 47 Precious Cargo
PRECIOUS CARGO
ATTICUS
Why the fuck didn't I make Sev drive?
In the rearview, I watch Aurora tip her chin up, allowing Elijah access to her neck as Sev runs his fingers up her thighs. Her eyes close and her lips part as they touch her. Elijah tips his mask up to rest on the top of his head to kiss along her collar, making her shiver.
Headlights flash across the windshield, and I jerk the wheel in time to avoid hitting the median, making them lurch in the back seat.
"Eyes on the road," Elijah growls. "We've got precious cargo back here."
"Yeah," Sev agrees. "We need to get her there in one piece so we can take her apart slowly."
Trouble lets out a little moan, and my cock wakes up at the sound, remembering how she came apart on my tongue a couple nights ago.
I have never come like that. Never been so turned on by the pleasure of another person.
I force myself to breathe slowly, to relax, because I'll be fucking damned if I ever let that happen again. I have more control than this.
When a black gloved hand cups her breast through her faux bloodstained dress, she arches into the touch, and I swallow, revving the engine of the borrowed Civic, pushing it another ten over the speed limit.
Almost there.
When Aurora lifts the edge of Seven's mask to find his mouth, she gets some blood on her fingers and wipes it on her dress next to the fake stains.
"Do I dare ask who that belongs to?" Her voice is breathy as Sev pulls her onto his lap, gripping her hips to grind against her through their clothes.
Fuck. I need to watch the road.
"Some assholes who needed killing," Sev says in a sly whisper, tearing the mask the rest of the way off to press a rough kiss to her mouth as Elijah starts to maneuver her stockings down her legs to her ankles.
"Who?" she asks when their lips part, trembling when he continues rolling his hips beneath her.
"Yeah, who was it?" Elijah presses.
"That guy Bailey and his friend," I answer, because Sev is busy using his blade to cut her dress right off her body.
He could've waited until we got there, but I definitely don't mind the fucking view.
"What?" Aurora snaps.
"They were going to roofie you and your friend," I explain while Sev buries his face in her bra, sighing against her skin as he uses his teeth to tug the lacy fabric down, exposing a nipple to the air before it vanishes beneath his mouth.
She lets out a gasping moan at the contact, heaving beneath Sev as Elijah reaches for her panties and yanks them down.
Her pebbled nipple pops free from Sev's mouth. "Don't be angry, Ro."
"Were you careful? Did anyone see you?"
The concern in her tone is obvious, but it's not for the reason I expected.
I'll admit, I'm never the first one to jump immediately to murder as the best solution, but when I heard that fucking piece of shit try to say that Aurora was his…?
It quickly became the most obvious and logical solution. I might regret it later—mostly for the attention it will draw to the college—but right now, I can't bring myself to regret it at all. Feeling his windpipe crunch beneath my palms felt more right than anything has in a long time.
"So careful," Sev promises Aurora, dipping his head for another taste of her. "So, so careful, baby. I promise."
She whimpers at his touch, and I realize it's not just Sev. Elijah has his hand fully buried beneath the hem of her skirt now, and I can see the fabric shift where he touches her.
I lick my lips, speeding through a yellow light at the last second to get onto the side street that leads to the private parking lot behind the laundromat.
Options are fucking limited, but like most of the other failing businesses this end of the strip, we've shuttered the windows and doors for Halloween.
Vandalism and all that.
I can't say it'll be the most comfortable place to do this, but with all the fail-safes in place, it's definitely the most secure.
I pull up to the rear door as close as I can get since Sev's got her nearly naked back there, and throw the vehicle into park.
When I'm no longer responsible for keeping us from crashing, I twist in my seat to give her my undivided attention and fuuuuck.
Aurora hums her pleasure, grinding her hips against Eli's hand while arching into Sev's mouth, so hungry for them. My pulse ratchets higher in my ears, an insistent thudding that intoxicates me more than any drug or drink ever could.
My mouth goes dry, and my hands itch to touch her. When she slits her eyes open and notices me watching her, she bites her lower lip, taunting me.
"What do you think, Angel?" Eli asks in a husky whisper, bringing glistening fingers to his lips for a taste of her that makes his eyes roll back. "Should Atty get a turn?"
She bucks when he slides those fingers back beneath her skirt.
Sev grips the back of her neck, angling her mouth to his, speaking against her lips. "Or do you think you can handle all three of us?"
She whimpers at his words, and holy shit…
I think she wants that. She wants me.
I try not to let it go to my head. I really fucking do, but I'm already hard as stone in my boxers and aching to get inside her.
Sharing's not really my thing. I like to dominate. When I have a woman, I want her all to myself.
But this is different.
She's different.
When my brothers touch her, I like how she responds to them.
I'm jealous as fuck—of course, I am—but I'm not mad about it.
"Get her inside," I growl, pushing out into the night to unlock the back door of the laundromat. As soon as I'm inside, I crank the ancient dial to turn up the heating and shrug out of my jacket, ripping my skull mask from my face.
I'm in the bathroom in seconds, peeling off my tactical gloves and scrubbing the blood of her would-be rapist from my knuckles. Wouldn't want to give our girl an infection.
When I'm finished, I dry my hands on a towel and exit the bathroom as Sev carries her inside with Eli on his heels, kicking the door shut behind him.
"Go wash up," I order Sev, and when he moves to set her down, I take her instead. She's so fucking light as I carry her into the office, where the heat is already pumping into the room.
Her fingers twist into the front of my tac vest, and when her heated gaze drops to my mouth, I don't hesitate. I kiss her, and when she moans, I take the opportunity to sweep in, pillaging her mouth with my tongue until she's trembling in my arms.
"I’ve been watching them touch you for far too long. Waiting." My voice is a gravelly whisper as I pull away to look her in the eyes. “Do you have any idea what that does to a man, Trouble?”
She bites her lip and grins at me. Wicked thing.
"Here," Eli says, knocking several files and blueprints from the table as he clears it with one sweep of his arm.
He takes the blanket from the small cot in the corner and lays it over the surface of the table in time for me to set her down on it.
She pulls me down with her, keeping my lips connected with hers in a way that makes my stomach tight and another possessive growl reverberate in my chest.
Aurora moves beneath me, aching for friction.
She reaches her hands outward, searching until she finds Eli and pulls him close. Her lips separate from mine and I move my mouth down to her jaw, then her neck, as she pulls Eli in to take my place kissing her.
My lips find her throat, and then I'm working my way down her body, peeling what remains of the cut and torn fabric of her outfit as I go, exposing her.
When I get to her breasts, I take my time, savoring the way she responds to my touch as I grab and suck and bite until she's whimpering into Eli's mouth.
I groan against her flesh, shuddering as my cock starts to throb. To ache.
I have no fucking idea how this is going to work, but one way or another, I am getting inside her. And I am not going to spend early. Not this time.
Sev sweeps into the windowless room after another few moments, like a dark shadow in his black costume. "Starting without me?" He tsks. "How rude."
Then he's gripping the back of the black robe and pulling it over his head.
Aurora gasps as Elijah's lips leave hers, squinting to watch as Sev's deft fingers move to his belt and the metal clinks as he unbuckles it, drawing down the zipper, leaving his jeans open and ready as he approaches Aurora.
He presses his palms flat to the table next to her, fixing her with an intent stare that makes her breath catch. When he smiles at her, she squirms in my grasp, and my fingers reflexively hold her tighter, keeping her pinned where I want her as I reach down between her legs and suck on her nipple.
Eli takes the opportunity to remove his shirt as Sev reaches over to caress her cheek. She presses into his touch and moans as his thumb slips into her mouth and she sucks on it greedily. "What do you want, Ro?"
The muscles in Sev's arms flex hard as he presses his thumb deeper into the back of her throat. Then he's dragging the slick digit over her lips and stuffing his hand into his undone jeans, stroking himself with her saliva.
He groans. "Tell me, baby. Do you want me and E inside you at the same time again?"
My fingers slide over her dripping pussy, rubbing her clit, making her head jerk back.
"Oh god," she moans as Eli steps out of his jeans, kicking them into the corner of the room.
"Is that what you want, Angel?"
When they say at the same time, do they mean…
No. That would be too much, wouldn't it?
At the thought of watching her pussy stretch like that, filled with them, my teeth clench.
I can't think of anything more fucking sexy, but the beast in me wants to take her myself. Not just watch.
Her eyes lock on mine, and heat ripples through me.
"Oh, you want Daddicus, do you?" Sev teases.
Her throat bobs, and then…she nods her head.
Heat slithers into my veins, making my skin prickle.
"Yes," she says, voice raw and breaking with need. "I want all of you."
