Chapter 17
MIA
I should have left the bar with Lettie.
“You brought this on yourself, little lamb,” Aries murmurs in my ear. His breath on my face does something wild to my senses. I gaze up into his blue-green eyes and get dizzy. It’s enough to make me momentarily forget that I’m in a creepy graveyard with three psychos who just murdered someone and are about to murder two more.
The crisp autumn night air strokes the back of my neck like a warning. I shudder. “You’re out of your fucking minds.”
Bones pinches my hips and pulls me toward him. The weight of his chest against mine sends a shiver rippling between my legs. I imagine the tight cords of his muscles flexing and constricting when he fucks. Ferocious yet elegant like a wolf. All three of them are a cacophony of exquisite violence, beautiful yet deadly.
I take shallow breaths as his fingers dig into my hip bones. “Of course, murder turns you on. ”
He tilts his head down, his gaze resting on my cleavage. “I want them to watch you cum while they die.”
Fuck.
I was being sarcastic, but they really are sick as fuck. What does that say about me? My panties are fucking soaked.
Aries stands behind me, his hands around my neck. “That sounds like a fun game. You in, little lamb? You gonna let me and Bones play with you while Dray butchers those bastards?”
I swallow hard as I look at Draven. He’s tightening their ropes around two skeleton trees, grunting over the gurgled cries of his victims.
My cheeks flush, and my belly knots. “I’m not your toy to play with.”
I try to wiggle out of their grasp, but they press in closer. I’m sandwiched between them, two immovable forces who only get more excited the more I try to break free.
“Let me go,” I growl.
“Shh, relax and enjoy the show.” Aries pins my arms to my sides.
I can’t stop shaking. I don’t want to want this.
Bones unbuttons my jeans before pulling the zipper down. He slips two fingers inside my panties, sliding them down my slit. His eyes widen. “Mmm, you’re so wet. Fuck .”
I bite my lip to stifle a moan. He inches his fingers inside my pussy, and I almost crumble.
“That’s it, nice and easy.” Aries leans over to watch Bones thrust in and out at a pace so slow, I think I might die from lack of release.
“Eyes on me, Mia,” Draven commands.
I bite my lip so hard, I draw blood. I can’t let this whimper free. That’s what they want. I can only give them so much.
The moonlight glints off the blade of Draven’s knife. He caresses my cheek with the flat of it. “For good luck.”
Bones adds a third finger, and it takes all of my mental fortitude not to scream from pleasure .
He chuckles. “The more you resist, the harder you’re gonna cum.”
My chest heaves as I struggle to catch my breath.
Draven stalks over to the two jocks. He approaches the one who touched me first. “Let’s talk about your bad choices. You tried to drug our little lamb. Then you put your hands on her. But you wanna know what your biggest mistake was?”
The blond man is sweating so profusely that it looks like someone dropped a bucket of water on him. He shakes his head and groans through his gag.
Draven points to Bones. “See that man? That psycho who is finger fucking our girl to the sounds of your pathetic whimpering…” Draven drags the tip of his blade down the man’s cheek. “That man is the older brother of the other girl you were going to drug tonight. So after I kill you, he’s going to desecrate your corpse.”
The man’s eyes bulge with fear right before tears stream out of them.
Fuck.
Bones’s gaze turns feral as he shoves a fourth finger inside my aching pussy. “Motherfucker,” he growls.
“That’s it. Use her,” Aries coaxes.
I can’t hold back anymore. I let out a deep moan as Bones stretches me. He thrusts harder and deeper, rocking my hips back into the tops of Aries’s thighs.
“Oh, now you’re having fun. You like it rough, don’t you?” Bones barks at me.
I stagger back, my knees turning to mush. His fingers curl up into my G-spot. But he doesn’t coax it. No he’s flicking it, pressing so hard I can barely breathe. He wants to punish me.
The joke’s on him.
I cry out and thrust my hips up. “ Harder ,” I beg.
Aries chuckles. “Be careful what you wish for, little lamb. ”
Bones pinches my jaw with his free hand and shoves me back into Aries. “Get her on top of that grave.”
As they drag me over to a cracked and dirty headstone, Draven uses his knife to cut away the blond man’s shirt, ripping it off to expose his sweaty chest.
He laughs and points to one of the man’s tattoos. “I love when white boys think that inking someone else’s cultural symbol on their bodies makes them more interesting. You don’t even fucking know what this means. How fucking dare you. I think I’ll remove it.”
“Draven,” I plead. While I agree with the intention, my stomach turns at the thought of him carving a chunk of this man’s flesh out.
Bones yanks my pants and panties off before setting me on top of the gravestone. “Too late for begging now, baby girl.”
Aries hugs me from behind, pinning my arms to my sides again. The cold stone rubs against my ass as Bones shoves my legs apart and stands in between them.
“Eyes on me, Mia,” Draven repeats. “You will watch what you made me do tonight.”
Bones shoves four of his fingers back inside my pussy without warning.
“Fuck,” I cry out as I buck against Aries.
But my screams are drowned out by the man who tried to drug me. Draven makes his first cut. He digs the tip of his blade deep into the man’s flesh and pulls down, splitting him open from his nipple to his ribs.
I jerk my head away, bile rising in my throat. Bones thrusts harder, snapping me like a rubber band. I’m caught between horror and ecstasy.
“What did I say, Mia?” Draven roars.
Aries nuzzles my neck from behind. “You’ve been such a good girl so far, don’t spoil it now.” He squeezes the back of my head and forces it back toward Draven.
“Fuck, you’re all crazy,” I say on a shaky breath .
Bones presses his thumb against my throbbing clit. “Yeah, that’s what you like about us the most.”
I arch my back into Aries’s chest as a crescendo of spasms builds in my core. “Oh, shit. Bones, please . It’s too much.”
“It’s not enough.” He snickers. “Relax for me.”
He pulls out, and my heart races. When he slides back in, my stretch deepens without warning. My belly tightens. Oh, fuck. I look down to see Bones’s entire fist inside me.
“Wait—”
Aries forces my head back to Draven. “This is it, little lamb. The slaughter.”
I lock eyes with Draven. His lips curl up into a sinister smirk. The man lets out a bloodcurdling scream just as Draven twists the knife into the man’s gut and pulls up, splitting him open.
I can’t stop myself from rocking back and forth on Bones’s fist. My climax is building, climbing toward release. Aries wraps his arms around my chest and tilts me back so I’m almost suspended in midair.
I can’t breathe. I’m so fucking full. I’m overstimulated, close to passing out, as he fists my pussy raw.
“Thatta girl, cum for us,” Bones growls.
Covered in blood, Draven is the most unhinged I’ve ever seen anyone. His designer clothes are tainted, his hair disheveled, and his brow is soaked with sweat. He stalks toward us, a wild look in his eyes.
I am stuck between them, drowning in their depravity and degradation. I can’t hold on to my sanity any longer. My clit swells like it might explode. A rush of tingles and spasms erupt in my core and span out, gripping my entire body.
“Fuck!” I jerk back, arching my hips forward, and the back of my thighs slam against the icy headstone.
“Oh, you are a beautiful sight,” Aries murmurs .
It feels like flying. Like falling and drowning and being lifted all at the same time.
Bones smiles as he milks me. “Every time you tell me it’s too much, I will give you more.”
I whine like a cat in heat as my juices drip down my thighs. The ache rolls into another spasm as he keeps thrusting. It’s everything. I feel like an animal, flailing my arms while Aries tries to keep me contained. I ride Bones’s fist so fucking hard it’s impossible to discern who is doing what to who now.
When Bones stills his hand inside me, Draven presses the bloody flat of his blade to my neck. My eyelids are heavy, fluttering as I look up at him. I don’t dare move another muscle.
“My turn,” he growls.
Bones slides out of me and steps back. “That was just a warm-up.”
Oh, dear god.
“We’re done. You’re covered in blood. Take me home,” I plead. And yet all the darkest parts of me are on fire, aching to be consumed by him.
Draven steps in between my legs. “That’s not what that spark in your eyes is telling me you want.” He takes his time wiping the blood off his blade before sheathing it. There’s a thick silence between the four of us. An ominous quiet that threatens to scare me out of my own skin.
He flips the covered blade around and presses the hilt against my nub. “ Are you done, Mia?”
I tremble as he slowly drags the hilt up and down my slit. “You shouldn’t do that.”
He chuckles and inches the tip of the hilt inside my pussy. “Oh? You afraid you’re going to like it too much?”
I bite back a moan as he pushes in farther. I’m going to fucking hyperventilate. It feels so fucking dirty. But I’m a glutton for his punishment. Because it’s him . He’s in control of my pleasure and my pain .
“I want you to cum on my knife.” Thrust . “You owe me your cum.” Thrust . “Every fucking drop.”
I gasp as he pushes the entire length of the hilt inside my soaking wet pussy. “Draven… oh, fuck. Yes .”
Aries pins my arms back and looks down over my shoulder. “Mmm, baby girl. You’re taking it so good. That knife was made for your pussy.”
A deep, animalistic moan escapes my throat, and stars dot my vision. He’s gentler than when he fucked me with the poison bottle. That was rough and brutal, but this… This is agonizing. Slow and deliberate. I’m meant to feel every inch of it.
Bones kisses my cheek. Holy fuck, his lips are so soft and warm. My skin tingles when he scrapes his teeth down my jaw.
Draven rotates the hilt in circles, spinning it as he pumps in and out. “Is my dirty little slut close?” Twist. “Hmm? You about to unravel for me?” Thrust . “I’m waiting, Trouble.” Twist . “I spilled blood for you. Now spill your cum for me.”
Aries squeezes the sides of my neck, pinching them so hard that my vision darkens. And it’s the final push I need. Fuck.
I throw my head back against him and release a feral scream. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. It’s like they lit a match inside me and added gasoline. I’m on fire. Combusting into nothing but slivers of the woman I thought I was.
There’s dark, and then there’s unholy . My blasphemous soul will never be redeemed after this.
When Aries releases his hold on my neck, Draven’s face inches back into focus. I blink away the sparkles of dust that float in my vision. I try to speak, but nothing intelligible comes out. I can’t control it. I soak his knife with my cum, sopping it all over the handle.
Fuck.
Draven rubs his quivering lips across the handle of the blade, licking my juices off of it. “I own every inch of you. ”
My legs shake as I lean against the gravestone. “I can’t keep letting you do this to me.”
He plants a soft peck on my lips so I can taste myself on his breath. “Oh, but you will.”
After Aries wipes me clean with his handkerchief, Bones helps me back into my panties and jeans. I have to lean on him so I don’t topple over.
“What about the other guy?” Bones asks.
I’m a pile of mush as I watch Draven stalk back over to my predators. I don’t have the stomach to watch him gut another person tonight.
I’m relieved when he unties him. “Let this be a lesson you won’t forget.”
The sniveling man can barely stand he’s shaking so hard. “Please. I promise I won’t tell anyone.”
Draven grabs him by the collar. “You better fucking tell everyone . Tell them what Draven Blackwell does to those who come to Ever Graves and fuck with what belongs to him. You understand? Good. Now get the fuck out of here and don’t come back.”
The man takes off in a sprint toward the woods.
“I love it when you talk about yourself in the third person,” Aries snort laughs. “It freaks them out more.”
How are they all so fucking calm after that? I stagger forward, toward the cars. “Can someone please take me home now?”
Before I reach the passenger side of his SUV, Draven is at my side, opening the door for me. “Do you need help getting in?”
I glare up at him. “I think you’ve done enough.”
His jaw ticks, but he lets me climb into the vehicle without further argument.
As we wind through the back roads of Ever Graves, the dark dissipates, and twilight peeks through the starry sky.
I clench my thighs together to keep my wet panties from bunching. And to prevent another spasm from turning me into a quivering mess. Just being next to him is enough to send my senses into a forbidden place.
When we arrive at Harker Mansion, he hops out to open the newly fixed iron gates before driving me all the way up to the door. I don’t want to think this is a nice gesture. Maybe it’s good breeding. He can’t help himself from being a gentleman. Even with the woman he despises.
“So what now?” I bite on my lower lip. I had my legs spread wide open for him just twenty minutes ago, and now I’m shy? What the fuck?
He lights up a cigarette. “That’s up to you. This isn’t a game. I will keep making your life hell until you give me what I want.”
I snicker. “You’re an asshole.” Regardless of these stupid poison wars, we had something between us in the bathroom at Duff’s that night. Back before he knew who I was. And it’s still there. But he says nothing. He won’t even look at me.
I jerk the door open and scramble out. For a split second, I hope he comes after me. I fumble with my keys a little longer than I should. But as soon as I turn the lock, I hear the sound of tires on gravel.
I don’t know what’s worse, him leaving or me wanting him to stay…
Fuck.
I really should’ve left the bar with Lettie.
