24. Devil Woman
-Dario-
Pulling up to the front of Jade’s house is surreal. It wasn’t too long ago that everything was fine; we were all fucking happy. Now, it’s like she’s a complete stranger, and I fucking hate it. Am I highly disappointed in her actions lately? One hundred and fifty percent. I mean, she tried to burn us alive. She has to pay her penance for that move. Do I miss her? Yes. I miss her more than I let on, but every action has terrible consequences. She’s not the only one paying for their actions. The contract I stupidly signed out of anger, I regret it every fucking day, but there’s nothing I can do about it now. I’m pulled out of my head as Jade climbs into the truck, rolling her eyes. She won’t even look at Spade. I have no idea what transpired between them during that little race getaway and Spade won’t talk about it. I’m surprised to even be in the car with my brothers tonight. We haven’t been together in weeks. It’s like we’ve drifted apart without Jade in our lives.
“So, who has Slim?” Jade questions, looking over at Jameson.
“Apparently, these new guys that just started at the Academy—I’m pretty sure they are from Lexi’s neck of the woods. The deep, churchgoing southerners, who hold their bible a little too tight, you know what I mean?” Jameson snorts.
“And why would they bother with Slim? Do they not know who the fuck he is?”
“We don’t even know who the fuck he is,” Spade interjects. I shake my head. Here we fucking go. If looks could kill, Spade would be dead on the spot as she narrows her eyes, ready to sink her claws into him.
“One, no one was fucking talking to you, Reid. If you must know, his uncle is Flynn. Why don’t you use that brain of yours and put two and two together.” Her tone is laced with venom. What the fuck happened between them?
“Awe, are you still mad at me for my choice of words I left you with?” he taunts.
“Fuck off!” She snaps.
“You wish, Babygirl.”
“Actually, I don’t. I’m more than satisfied without you.” We both growl in unison. She snorts, and Jameson chuckles.
“Cat got your tongue, Kitten?” I goad.
“Nope, but that Elvira-looking hussy sure has yours.” What the fuck?
“Elvira?” I ask.
“Yes, the tall bitch who constantly has her claws all over you.” Is that jealousy I hear?
“I don’t know what you are going on about, Fallon.” I know calling her by her real name and playing dumb will get to her. She whips around the seat, holding a knife at me.
“Don’t play dumb, Dario! You know exactly what the fuck I am talking about. The bitch I saw you fucking in that empty classroom earlier today. What? Are you going to tell me she’s tighter than me, too?” Huh??
“I wasn’t fucking anyone in an empty classroom earlier today.” I growl at her.
“Bullshit. I saw you in between Cruella De Vil’s legs, with your hand wrapped around her ugly neck.” She spits out. ?Oh, she’s definitely jealous.?
“I wasn’t fucking her.” I clarify.
“Bullshit, I know what I fucking saw!”?She shouts.
“We’re here,” Jameson yells.
“Why the fuck are we at a church?” Jade asks looking out the window.
“Your guess is as good as ours. Can we pretend for the time being that we are a unit and get your little boy toy, so the rest of us can get on with our night?” Spade spits.
“Reid, if you have better places to be, then I don’t fucking need you. For the record, I don’t need any of you. Oh, and fun fact, Slim’s been fucking my brother Ryder, which makes him matter more to me. So shut the fuck up.” Shit, I didn’t see that tidbit coming.?
“Whatever, Killer.” Spade retorts, quietly climbing out of the truck. There are a few cars parked in front of the rundown church. Jade hops out and walks straight for the front doors.
“Anyone going to tell her to do this quietly instead of guns blazing?”
“She said she didn’t need us, so let her do her thing.” Spade answers, shrugging his shoulders. Jameson isn’t too far behind her. Jade kicks in the doors, guns drawn, ready for war. Why does she have to look so hot doing it?
“That fucking girl still gets my dick harder than ever,” Spade whispers.
“Tell me about it,” I say, clearing my throat.
“Too bad you’re about to be a married man.” He pats my back as he runs for the entrance, trying to catch up to the little minx. Fuck my fucking life. I should have never signed that shit.?
Walking through the doors, I see eight men holding bibles, wearing khaki pants, polo shirts, and brown loafers. They scream purity. They surround Slim, who is naked and tied to the cross above the altar. What. The. Jesus. Fuck? With Jade kicking in the door, you would think they’d run, but no, they continued to chant from their bible.?Something about repenting his sins or some shit, I can’t keep up. ?They keep chanting over and over again. Jade points the gun in the air and lets a round go off. Spade takes the left, I take the right, and Jameson stays with Jade. This place is set up like any other church—rows and rows of pews, and an altar with the cross still hanging. Holy water bins are emptied, the walls are moldy, and windows are boarded up. This place is a mess.
“So, anyone want to explain why my friend hangs like Jesus on the cross?” Jade asks, pointing her gun at the guy wearing a pink polo shirt. All eight of them wear the same clothes, just different-colored polos. They look like a bunch of fucking idiots.?
“I ain’t afraid of you, Devil Woman,” he spits at Jade with a twang in his voice. Jade steps closer to him. God, I love seeing her in action. It just makes me want to lay her out on the altar and make her repent all her sins while I eat her cunt.
“You should be, because I might be the demon to possess your holy-rolling ass. Now, tell me why my friend looks like the Lord himself before I rip your intestines out and choke your friend over there with them.” Jesus, my dick is so fucking hard for this girl. Spade steps closer to the two jerkoffs in front of him, Jameson is watching the show like he’s at the movies with popcorn in his hands, and all I can think about is feeling Jade’s tight pussy clench around my cock. I really need to get it together.?
“He’s a faggot; that’s why he’s up there. He needs to repent for his sins and remove the demon from his body,” Pink pussy says.
“Yeah, he’s a fucking homo. We don’t allow gays at our school,” Teal polo fucker interjects. Spade walks over and punches him in the gut.
“Say that again, I didn’t quite hear you.” Jade spits, placing her gun back in her holster, only to produce a knife from its sheath.
“Are you deaf, Demon Spawn? I said he’s a fucking fag—” He doesn’t get to finish the word before Jade sinks the knife into his gut, twisting and removing it. He drops his bible and holds his stomach, slightly bending over, but she doesn’t allow that. She takes out another knife and sinks both into the side of his neck, blood instantly splattering her face as she pulls them out. The one in a purple polo tries to run, but I punch him in the stomach. He tries to match my energy and hit me back, but this holy freak doesn’t stand a chance. I hit him with a two-piece, he stammers into the back of Jade. She whips around, jumps onto his back, and, with one quick motion, sinks the knives into his neck as well. He drops like a ton of bricks as blood pours from his body. I catch her before she can fall with him.?I should be borderline frightened at watching her kill so brutally, but it’s honestly so fucking hot.
She looks up at me and licks the bloodstained knife, then smiles with a bloody grin. Jesus, she is a demon from hell. I can’t help myself; I grab her face and kiss her. Her mouth automatically opens for me, and our tongues glide together so naturally. I moan into the kiss, she leans into me, and I grab her ass with both of my hands, squeezing it. I break away, and she whines. Her eyes are blown with lust. We look around the room, Jameson is having fun with two of the guys, as blood soaks everyone. This is a literal blood bath. Out of my peripherals, I see a straggler trying to escape.
I take out my scorpion tail and throw it. It hits the mark right in the back of the neck. This contraption is a retractable knife. Once it embeds into your skin, it punctures on the inside, so when I pull the enemy to me, it stays inside the wound or rips; it all depends on where the knife embeds itself. I pull at the tail made of galvanized wire and intricate chains. The guy is gurgling on the ground; I must have hit his spinal cord, causing him to have no leg functions.
“Nice shot, Rio. I want one of those.” Jade sounds impressed with my little toy.
“Hmm, only good girls get new toys.” I wink at her. She rolls her eyes, and I retrieve my knife from the back of the guy’s neck. Wiping the blood from the blade, I place it back in my pocket. I glance at my brother and see Spade struggling with one guy. I take Jade’s hand and lead her over to them. She comes up behind Teal Polo and climbs on his back. She throws a knife to Spade, catching it swiftly, and winks at her. Jameson comes over, and we both take an arm to hold this fucker steady. Jade pulls his head back while Spade slices his throat, covering himself and us in crimson. Jade climbs off, and we let the fucker fall face-first onto the ground, into a puddle of blood.
“That was hot as fuck, Babygirl.” He chuckles and she gives a little curtsy.
“Fuck this. I can’t take it anymore.” I growl.
I grab her by the thighs, lifting her as I fuse my lips to hers. She moans in my mouth as I walk her over to the altar, and I lay her down on the filthy table.
“Jameson, remove her clothes. It’s time to worship and repent.”
I don’t care what tomorrow will bring; tonight, we will feast.
