I stared out at the night sky, my breath visible on the air. My evening with my little snowflake had been decent enough. She needed to be trained on how to suck dick, but overall, it wasn’t the worst I’d ever had. In fact, it was hot how she was so tentative and scared. All the other women, even the ones who were toys, always knew how to suck dick. It made me hate them a little more because it meant they’d spread their legs for someone else.
I always viewed what was mine as being mine. Or my brothers since we tended to share many things. Something about the delicate little snowflake was doing something to me though. I could understand why Sever had it bad for her, despite him denying any of it.
He’d been stomping around all day, a storm cloud hanging over his pretty head. When I said I was going to spend the evening with her, he all but blew up. He stormed out of the room and slammed his bedroom door. I could practically see him pacing his room before beating on the punching bag he kept in there.
“How was your night?” Mass asked as Sever joined us in the backyard. I’d left Misery in her room with the door locked and told her to rest up because we had plans for the night. She looked terrified, something I fucking loved.
“He went out and got some pussy. What’s wrong? The little hot box in the bedroom down the hall not cutting it for you?” Renzo let out a loud bark of laughter as he teased Sever.
“Fuck you.” Sever glared at him. “You don’t know shit, Ren.”
“Mm, I know you took her virginity and Roe made her suck your dried come off her bedsheets tonight before he forced her head under the water in the bubble bath he ran for her.” Ren’s eyes sparkled with mischief.
Sever rounded on me, his blue eyes flashing. “Did you fucking do that?”
I examined him, noting the visible tremble in his body. The way his lip curled upward. How his chest heaved.
Barely controlled rage.
So Sever.
“Yeah. Yeah, I did,” I admitted. “I also played tug-o-war on her clit with my fingers. She sure knows how to scream when something hurts. Oh. I also made her suck my cock until I came, then I made her clean the mess she made off the floor with her tongue. She’s a good little snowflake. I really think she’s growing on me.”
Sever’s fist flew toward my face, but I ducked it, laughing at him. Getting him going was always a pleasure.
“Roe. Sever. Enough,” Mass snapped, getting between us. Sever glared at me, his chest still heaving with his anger.
“Why are you so pissed?” Mass demanded, turning to face him. “Huh? I watched you fucking take her virginity while she squealed and tried to fight you off. Don’t act like a goddamn saint. We both know you have the devil’s blood running through your veins.”
Sever said nothing, a muscle thrumming along his jaw.
“What’s your deal?” I pressed, figuring it was worth a shot. Maybe the moody prick would finally talk about shit.
“She’s been through hell,” he snarled. “That’s my fucking deal.”
“She’s in Hell, little brother,” Mass said softly. “No one gets out alive. None of the toys. Not even us. In the end, we all die. It’s just a matter of when. You know this.”
Sever’s bottom lip quivered. “Not her.”
His answer surprised me. I glanced to Ren who’d been silent the entire time. He raised his brows at me.
“Yes, her. She was chosen. She’s a debt paid. Let whatever feelings you have for her go. They’ll only choke you in the end. No attachments. That’s the rule, remember?” Mass moved forward and cradled Sever’s face. “Remember, Sever? It hurts less when you feel less.”
He gave Mass a curt nod. Seeming to accept it, Mass pressed a kiss to his forehead before turning to me. “Go get her. It’s time we play with our new toy.”
I winked at Sever as Ren clapped me on the back.
Playtime was my favorite time.
Misery was shaking like a leaf when I placed her on her feet in front of us outside on the back patio. Our breath hung in the air, the night air cool and crisp, the moon full. It was the perfect night to hunt.
“Knees,” I murmured to her when she remained standing.
Immediately, she went down and bowed her head. I glanced to see Sever looking like he was ready to launch himself on her. To do what, I didn’t know, but I was more than eager to find out.
“This estate is over six hundred acres of woods, river, and plains,” Mass started in a rumbling voice. “There’s a lake. Various buildings scattered throughout, but it’s mostly just forest.”
“It’s supposed to get cold tonight,” I added. “Really cold, and you’re only wearing that thin sheet.”
She shivered at my words.
“Tonight, we’re going to play a game,” Mass continued. “We’re going to let you go. If you make it to the highway without one of us catching you, you get to leave.”
She looked up at us, her green eyes wide with shock. And hope. She had so much fucking hope. I glanced to Ren to see his eyes sparkling. He loved to squish the hope out of people. When we did it together? Perfection.
“We’re going to let you go. We will give you a ten minute start on us. Run. Hide. Pray. Whatever you have to do to get away.” Mass reached out and lifted her long, thick braid off her shoulder. I’d braided it for her before leaving. She’d seemed surprised I knew how.
“If we catch you though, whoever gets you first gets to fuck you,” Mass finished. “So if you want to avoid that, best not get caught, little daffodil.”
“Do you have any questions?” I asked.
She visibly swallowed. “C-Can I have shoes? A-And a jacket?”
“No,” I said simply. “If we can’t find you and you don’t reach the highway, you’ll freeze to death and die.”
Her breath caught as she shivered.
“So best be fast and smart,” I said, taking in the way her pert nipples poked the sheet. She had to be freezing. She wouldn’t last long in the woods. No one did. None of the toys ever outsmarted us. We found each and every one of them. Always.
She would be no exception.
I couldn’t wait to find her first.
Although, I knew Sever and Mass were just as good as hunters as me and Ren were. And Ren always hunted with me. We were a team.
Mass leaned forward and placed a kiss on her forehead.
“Run,” he husked out when he pulled a fraction away from her.
She hesitated for all of a minute before she shot up and dashed into the woods, her white sheet bright in the night.
We watched silently as she disappeared into the dark forest and didn’t move a muscle for ten solid minutes.
“Sever,” Ren called out finally.
“What?”
“I’m going to fuck your girl’s ass tonight.” Ren looked over at Sever who glowered back at him. “And Roe is going to fuck her pussy.”
We didn’t wait for Sever’s reaction, but we could hear it as we darted forward together. Sever cursed loudly behind us, his footsteps not far behind.
It sure was fun getting him fueled up.
We rushed into the dark woods, veering off and losing Sever like ghosts in the night.
“She’s this way,” I said to Ren as we huffed through the darkness. I’d noted a small footprint on a sparse spot of snow that managed to collect and survive one of the warmer days we’d had recently.
We continued on for a long time, following the broken branches and listening to the rustling of the brush in the night.
It had to be a good thirty minutes. We had a rule. If we caught our pray, we’d send an alert on our phones to our group chat so the rest of us didn’t end up continuing the hunt.
So far, no one had alerted. We’d never gone longer than twenty minutes without finding one of the toys, so this was different.
“She’s smart,” Ren muttered, looking up at the night sky, his breath puffing out. “No one lasts this long.”
“Well, she beat Sever out of the number one spot in their class, so I’d say we should have taken that into consideration since we know how fucking intelligent and tricky his ass is,” I muttered, wanting to kick myself for not considering that sooner.
“It’ll make fucking her so much sweeter once we find her.” Ren moved forward, shoving a branch out of his way. “Unless she’s dead.”
“If she’s still warm, it’ll be just like fucking a sleeping woman, so really, no downside,” I said.
He chuckled softly. “Remember when we fucked Wisp after we killed her? She always used to fight us when we fucked her ass. If her pussy and ass were any good to begin with, I’d have enjoyed the fight more, but it was all loose trash. It was a nice fuck you, farewell, bitch moment.”
I grunted, agreeing. We’d all hated Wisp. She was our father’s lapdog. I was sure he’d implanted her with us to give him feedback because he came to visit and would take time alone with her. Not only getting information from her, I was sure she was willingly sucking his cock because he’d promised her more if she survived.
She hadn’t, something I was proud over.
The bitch needed to go. She had been a pain in the ass the moment she’d arrived. A daddy’s girl. Rich. Here because she thought she might win one of us, or even our old man, over to gain a place of power.
Now she was ashes scattered on the property.
Father had been beyond pissed, which only cemented the idea he planted her and had wanted her to get one of us to want her enough to keep her. All of us had refused his arranged marriage bullshit. There wasn’t a piece of pussy in this world that made any of us want to be tied down.
Not that it would matter.
Even an arranged marriage wouldn’t keep us faithful. Marriage wasn’t shit but a piece of paper. We’d all still fuck whoever, whenever.
I doubted there was a piece of ass out there that would ever enrapture us enough to end our wicked ways.
Although…
I smiled at the thought of the delicate, smart girl currently making us work for a piece of her.
Our interactions had been minimal, but I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t enjoyed every minute. This hunt was providing me with something I hadn’t had in a long time.
Excitement.
Desire.
She was going to be graded accordingly.
And I couldn’t wait.
