Chapter 12
Twelve
Violet
Damon’s death was beautiful, twisted and raw, his life leaking out of the many new holes in his body while I sat over him and watched.
He was the first, but they would have their time.
Rafael, Gabe, Les, my father, mother, everyone and anyone that had anything to do with bringing me any pain, with putting me under Rafael Delucci’s thumb.
My mind stuck. Trapped in their deaths, each one vicious, each victim with their eyes open as they watched me slice into them, take from them.
Destroy, destroy, destroy. Flatten and destroy everything that made them who they were.
There were so many ways I could do it, limb by limb, drop by drop of blood, organ after organ ripped through their skin with my bare hands…
I wanted to be covered in blood, anointed in it.
Maybe their church could help, whatever teachings they had.
Maybe I could find that bowl Rafe had dripped my blood into and smash him over the head with it…
Theo drove until we couldn’t get any further without crashing, without mauling each other as the car careened off a bloody cliff because we were both too wrapped up in the other.
Since we’d snuck out of Damon’s house and sat in this small car, my body was on fire for Theo, like our atoms were trying to blend.
I needed him something fierce. Killing Damon, torturing him — it set me alight, and only Theo could tame those flames.
I was fired up, my skin stinging and tingling with the desperation I had for Theo to get inside me.
He was splattered with blood, sprays of it all over his cheeks, his arms and his clothes.
He smelled of death, of cleaning solutions and sweat.
I wanted to lick it off, lick the blood of my tormentor off the neck of my savior and bask in his tenderness.
My thighs squeezed together, my belly pulsing, making it hard to focus, making me squirm and imagine what Theo could do to me, how his hands would feel against me…
We could bathe in the blood of my tormentors, kill them all at once and pour their blood into a pool, swim through it, coat each other in it, anoint the world in their life before the darkness was removed for good.
I imagined popping Rafael’s eyes from their sockets, ripping out his teeth one by one, force feeding him each digit and limb as I ripped it from his body…
“Violet,” Theo said, yanking me from my fantasy.
The car was still. Sitting in complete darkness with the lights off, turned into a small gap at the side of the road. A woodland. Only my heavy breaths broke the silence.
“What?” I asked, my voice rough. Too much energy coursed through me. It needed somewhere to go, I clenched my fists, squeezed my legs together, bit at my lips.
“Get out of the car,” Theo demanded, before climbing out himself and stalking around the front. He yanked my door open and leaned in. “Get out of the car and come with me. You’re losing it.”
I opened my mouth to say something, but he didn’t let me. Theo leaned over, his face against mine, his nose brushing my cheek. I kissed him, letting my tongue dip out to swipe a drop of blood from his skin.
His hand roamed down, and I expected him to just touch, but he clicked the seatbelt off and curled his arms around my waist, tugging me from the car with a grunt.
Gasping, I wrapped my legs around him and let him carry me. He was a man on a mission, and I was here for it, even if I did feel loopy. Anything to yank me from the dark fantasies eating me alive. I wanted them to, but Theo didn’t. Not yet, anyway.
“Can’t fucking wait anymore, Vi, need inside you,” he said against my skin, adjusting my weight to carry me easier.
I reached my hand between us, finding his hard cock, fondling it through his jeans while we moved deeper into the trees.
We were hours away from the scene of the crime now, but still hours from the cabin too.
We weren’t safe, but I didn’t care. Theo didn’t either, clearly, as he shoved my back against the rough bark of a tree and growled into my ear.
“Touch me more,” he said. “I need your skin on mine. Even sticky with someone else’s blood, I need it.”
Using the leverage of the tree at my back to stay suspended between it and Theo, I used both my hands to reach his zipper, tugging it down and popping the button, before diving in and pulling his cock free. It was hard, so bloody hard, and he groaned when both my hands wrapped around it.
“Fuck, beautiful, fuck…” he moaned, his head thumping onto my shoulder.
I continued jerking him, loving the way he felt falling to pieces between my thighs.
Even as the bark scratched at my skin, I kept going, enjoying every throb of his shaft, every gasp of air from his lungs.
He was just as fired up as me, just as needy.
“More, need more,” he said breathily, dropping my legs down, yanking my leggings right to my ankles.
“Get these off,” he said, wrestling to get them over my shoes.
I giggled, and he bit my thigh, just above my knee, before moving upward, laying sucking kisses all up my leg until he reached my pussy.
He pressed one gentle kiss there before standing up, winking at me and scooping my legs back around his waist.
“Theo, I love you,” I told him, unable to keep the words in, just letting it all spill out. “Thank you, thank you for all of it, for—”
He kissed me hard, stopping my words with a grunt from my throat.
“Never say thank you,” he muttered. “You’re my world.
” The head of his cock ran through my pussy, spreading my wetness along his shaft until I was a moaning mess, shifting my hips to notch him at my entrance.
Just the tip rested there, and for a beat we stayed like that, on the cusp.
“Get inside me,” I begged. “Please, Theo, please.”
“I won’t go easy; you have to tell me if…” he sighed and shivered, a slight pressure building as he pushed just the head of his cock in. “You have to tell me if you don’t…”
I shoved down, forcing his cock to tunnel inside me, filling me up in one rough move.
We both groaned, way too loud, overwhelmed and consumed by each other.
It was… Christ, it was insane. Intense, delicious, sweaty and mind-breaking.
All the tension, all the heat we’d built as we destroyed Damon raced through us, firing back and forth as he pounded into me.
My back scratched on the bark, his fingers clawed into my thighs, holding me up with his firm grasp. Each thrust made me moan, let out little huffs as my muscles all tensed up and pleasure rocketed through me, disturbing the peace of this woodland we were defiling, so close to the road.
“I love you, big brother,” I cried into him, reaching for his face to cup it, to kiss it. Our tongues met, licking and sucking, biting teeth and shared breaths.
“Fuck, I love you,” he groaned into my mouth. “You don’t know how incredible you looked back there. How sexy. How powerful.” He kept thrusting, and the world fell away around us. “Touch yourself, gorgeous, make yourself come on my cock.” He moaned. “I need you to get there. I’m… I’m close.”
I did as he asked, my hand shoved between our burning hot bodies and swirling, making my thighs vibrate. “Oh!” I cried, my toes curling. It didn’t take long; within moments, electricity barreled over me, and I came hard, jerking and writhing and moaning while Theo fucked me through it.
He fucked me hard, his hips smashing against me, his breaths punching and fast. He followed me over the edge not five seconds later, pumping me full of his cum. I could feel his cock pulse with the power of it and it made me shudder some more.
After a second, he stepped away, his cock slipping free from my body, my legs lowered to the ground. “Turn around,” he said. “Get on your hands and knees.”
I questioned him with my eyes, but he only gestured with his chin for me to do as he commanded. It didn’t take much. I sank down onto the rough woodland floor and settled like he asked, a cool breeze tickling my bare pussy and ass.
“Holy fuck,” Theo groaned, and I turned to watch him sink to his knees behind me. “What a view.” His fingers ran over my skin, curved over the cheeks of my ass and tickled down my thighs, closer to where I was most sensitive.
I loosed a sigh and ducked my face, overwhelmed.
“Head to the floor, baby,” he said. “You can tell me to stop whenever you want. Tell me you don’t want this, but I think you do.
” He paused for a moment, collecting his thoughts.
“I watched you on the cameras once. When you were still with… him. He made you stay like this, right like this, with your dress hitched up and your body bared to whoever might pass. You were there for hours…”
“I remember,” I said, my voice harder as the memory of that day washed over me.
My legs had hurt so much by the time I was allowed to move them.
Rafe demanding it flashed into my head, but also Gabe, who’d come to save me, who’d tricked me into believing he cared as he stretched my sore body back out, his touch so soft and careful…
“Well, I will not do that,” Theo continued. “I’m not going to make you wait like that in pain. This is… this is one of those replacements. Like you want. Replace that memory, that pain, with this.”
The first swipe of his tongue over my pussy made me cry out.
The moan he released as he buried his face between my legs made my arms give out, my head smooshing into the woodland floor.
Oh, god. Oh, it was delicious. He was so ravenous, so desperate as he ate his cum out of me, as he swirled his tongue up and down, going from my clit to my asshole and back again.
“You good?” he asked. “You like this?”
“Mm,” I managed. “Theo, please don’t stop.”
“Never.” Two of his fingers slipped into my pussy, curling and driving into me as his tongue met my asshole and he did the same, pressing his tongue into me, making me wild with that too.
“I want all of you, Vi, always.” He ran the flat of his tongue over my ass before laying wet, sloppy kisses, still fingering me.
“You will never suffer again. I will never let you be in pain, never hurt you. I’m yours, baby. I will worship you.”
He burrowed his face between my legs again, chasing everything he could. “I once licked his cum out of your pussy so it wouldn’t be there anymore, so you didn’t have to walk around with him inside you. Do you remember that?”
“Yes!” I cried, pushing myself back onto him as he chuckled and rubbed his flattened tongue over all of me.
“Good girl,” he muttered, voice muffled against my body. “Only I will ever be in this pussy again, only my cum.”
“Theo…” I gasped. He withdrew his fingers and sucked at the entrance of my pussy, moaning as he swallowed down the last of his cum, then his tongue reached my clit and he swirled, he flickered and he sucked until I cried out and orgasmed again, trying and failing to muffle the noise, letting it all fly free of me.
He kissed my body through it, letting me ride every twitch and pulse out, just existing with me until I stretched my legs out behind me and fell fully to the ground with a flop.
He laughed, and while the world whirled in and out of focus, I realized he was dressing me. I smiled at him, my floppy arm coming up to stroke his cheek. “That was… thank you…” He’d done that for me. So damn thoughtful. It was hard not to believe his love.
He laid a kiss on my forehead and scooped me up, letting me fall fully against him as he carried me back to the car. “Think you’ll be able to sleep now?” he asked with humor in his tone.
I didn’t even get the words out before I was gone.
