Forty-Six
Their Obsession
Liv
S aint released me, and I gasped as my ass hit the floor. Pain radiated up my tailbone, but my heels thrashed against the floor as I scurried backward until I hit the wall behind me. Startled, I stood up and raced down the hallway as their wicked laughter followed me.
The dimly lit corridor created shadows that leaped out at me everywhere I turned. Frightened, I hurried forward with only a brief glance backward. I saw nothing. But within this dark hallway, Sin and Saint were hot on my trail.
I passed rooms, furniture, and a kitchen. I heard hisses, but not from Rocko. More cats. The animals were everywhere as I stopped and searched around for anywhere to escape. My eyes landed on a patio door .
I darted for the back patio as I heard footsteps not far behind me, and my heart jumped up into my throat. I was certain I’d choke on the organ and those fuckers would find me. Adrenaline pumped as I got outside, and the cold surrounded me. There was a full moon shining from the dark sky above as my stilettos hit the stairs. I wobbled with each step until I hit the grass and fell flat on my stomach.
Panicked, I peered up to only see a dark figure on the balcony eyeing its prey from above. My legs pushed up, and I was off without another glance back, fearful of them reaching out to grab me and having me all over again.
My feet ached as I ran as fast as I could and darted through the park behind their penthouse. I had no idea where I was going, but all I wanted to do was get away from them—away from their consequences and the ownership they held over my head. I wanted to escape, and freedom was somewhere through these stupid trees.
I tripped over an exposed root in the ground and fell against a tree trunk. I panted, with strands of my hair moving in and out from my parted lips. Disoriented, I glanced left and right, unsure of the direction I had just been running. They could be anywhere by now, and I was a sitting doe with wide eyes, quivering from the damp, chilly night. Damn this skimpy dress I had worn! To hell with my broken heel and all my dumb decisions leading me right to this moment!
“Shit,” I whispered when I heard a twig snap.
Dread pulsed through me as my hands worked with my heels, and I took them off. My bare feet were cold against the grassy soil as I hid behind the tree trunk and prayed they didn’t find me. I wasn’t one who believed in much, but I had to have faith in something. Because if they found me, I would be in trouble. Screwed.
I didn’t make a peep, not even one sound, as I listened to the leaves sway in the breezy night and car engines rev off in the distance. The city streets were too far away, and I wasn’t anywhere close to getting out of this park.
No wonder I never ventured here. This place was full of nature and bugs were everywhere. I could feel creepy crawlies on my feet and they crawled up my legs. It was an unwanted tingle as goosebumps peaked from the chill and perspiration beaded on my forehead. I tried hard to remain still, unmoving, as whatever insects wiggled on me, and I only breathed tiny puffs of air.
The coast appeared to be clear as I decided which direction to flee, and I shot out into the wilderness in a sprint. My legs moved fast, my pulse raced, and the air huffed from my lungs. I’d make it out of here in one piece with no dickheads sticking anything in my holes. Their threat was no match for—
In an instant, someone tackled me down. A body fell on top of me, and I wasn’t sure who it was. A scream tore from me and howled into the night, but the vicious animal who had captured me didn’t care. He covered my mouth and quieted his prey.
Somehow, I got out from underneath him, and his hand released me. I clawed at the earth and pulled my bodyweight until one of them grabbed me by my ankles. A fearful yelp escaped me as my hands sunk into the dirt, but I only dug a hole. A big deep trench I couldn’t get out of as he trapped me and fingers wrapped around my throat. The powerful squeeze made it hard to breathe, and I gasped for air.
“Found you,” Saint whispered into my ear.
“Asshole,” I choked out with my cheek pressed into the earth. Black boots were inches from my face.
I watched as Sin bent down, rested an arm on his knee, and he brushed the hair out of my face. “Caught you.”
“Go to hell,” I spat out, and my nostrils flared.
Sin snapped his fingers, and Saint released me. The heavy weight from his body eased off, and I coughed into the grass. My hands rubbed my neck and tried to relieve the pain from the strangulation, but it was no use. I was in pain from my aching feet, the bug bites, my cold bones, and Saint’s brutal force.
“Get on your feet, Liv,” Sin ordered from above as he peered down at me like I was an insect he’d squash.
Scratch that.
Sin would control the perimeter of where I’d crawl. He’d spray insect killer all around me and trap me within his borders. He didn’t want to kill me; he wanted to use me. Force me to do whatever he had in his dirty little head and claim me within his prison.
I listened to his command and stood up to face him. In the dark, I could still see the heat in his stony stare, and the temperature rose inside of me. My body shivered from the fight between hot and cold as my breathing picked up a notch. My kneecaps were dirty from the dewy grass and small twigs were in my hair. I was a mess, but they didn’t care.
I snapped, “There. Happy now?”
“Not yet,” Sin said as he pointed at my neck. “Remove your necklace.”
I shook my head.
A loud slap filled the air, mixing with my whimper as Saint slapped my ass from behind and said, “Don’t disobey him.”
With staggered breaths, I obeyed and unclasped the gold chain. I held the bulky necklace in my hands, and my eyes never wavered from Sin .
“Give it to me,” Sin demanded as he held out his hand, and I dropped the chain inside. “Good. Now get down on your knees to seek absolution for such an unforgiving mouth.”
I did as Sin insisted because I had no other choice. There was no more running and nowhere to hide from them. I was out in the middle of nowhere, but my phantoms knew their way through this patch of woods. They lived here while they preyed on me, watched me, and now they’d have their way with me. But I couldn’t deny, deep down, I wanted them too.
No matter the fight I put up, my refusal to quit, they still consumed me. It had only been a matter of time before I let them lure me right to this second, where I was down on my knees and Sin took out his cock. His massive girth throbbed, only a short distance away from my face, and my mouth watered at the delicious sight. I remembered what his dick felt like as my pussy grew wet, and I ached inside my heated belly. They had found me and would fulfill their promise, reminding me of who I belonged to.
Them.
They were savage beasts who owned me, as Saint took my necklace, and I sucked in a breath. Swiftly, he placed the chain against my throat right where it belonged, but he pulled it tight. My eyes bugged out of their sockets, and my hands thrashed out in front of me. Only for them to rest on Sin’s bare thighs with his cock on the edge of my parted lips.
