THIRTY-TWO
Nyx
"Here, have some water, Clyde. You look parched." I slide the glass over to the older Kappel; he has just enough chain length to pick it up and bring it to his lips.
He pauses when the glass is about to reach his lips, questioning, "How do I know you didn't poison it?"
Rolling my eyes, I take a sip, then hand it back. "Satisfied?"
Arlo and Charlie ensured our little prisoner was kept in a room with the heat turned up and nothing to quench his thirst. So, once he's seen that I've drunk the water, he guzzles it until the glass is empty.
"Now start talking," I demand, taking the glass from him.
"What do you want to know?"
"How about why you thought it was okay to give me to a fucking drug lord when you have never reached out or acknowledged me a day in my life?"
My little lamb stands beside me, arms crossed and sneering down at the man who gave her life.
I couldn't deny her coming after she assured me that she would be fine with disposing of her sperm donor.
If she can hack it, I want her by my side in all business dealings.
Well, maybe not the dangerous ones, but those will have to be discussed.
Clyde titters, then states, "That's precisely why I did it. You're just a bastard and mean shit to me, but apparently, you're pretty enough to be wanted for a good fuck. So, why not use you to get what I wanted?"
My hands curl into fists, wanting to hit him so badly, but my little lamb steps up and swings her fist instead.
Kappel's head whips to the side, and blood drips from a cut on his lip.
I glance down and see that she has a pair of metal knuckles on her fingers.
The sneaky little vixen! I hadn't seen her lift them from the implement table when we walked in.
I look behind me, and Charlie stands in the doorway, smirking. He apparently witnessed my little lamb's sticky fingers. I guess I'll just stand back and let her ask her questions first.
"Layton is dead. Why didn't you go to Nyx about an alliance?" Raya's question startles me momentarily.
She's always wanted to know who her father was, and even though he's a piece of shit, I'd have thought she would still like to know why he didn't want her. Hell, I want to know the answer to that question.
Walking over to her, I slip my hand around her from behind and pull her into me so her back is flush against my front. Dipping my head, I speak loud enough for Kappel to hear.
"It makes no difference had he come to me or not because you have always been mine, little lamb. He wouldn't have gotten anything from me had he tried. You are not for sale; you never have been, baby."
"Jesus Christ, get a fucking room!" Clyde states and then coughs a little.
I watch sweat bead on his forehead, and I smirk, saying, "Why, when I was already balls deep inside her until the wee hours of the morning?"
Clyde ignores me and stares at his daughter. "He's right. I wouldn't have gotten anywhere with him. Even if I did come to him and we had an alliance, the other three Heirs are still in my way. Of course, you could have just entered a union with all four of them, and it may have worked—"
I'm the one to move fast this time as I carefully shove Raya out of the way and rain blow upon blow down on Kappel's face.
No one talks about my girl being with any other man—not ever!
"Nyx! Stop, you're going to kill him, and we don't have our answers yet." Raya's voice breaks through the red haze, and I pull back from the bloody asshole. Running my hand through my hair to get it out of my face, I then spit down on the pathetic fucker.
"Watch what you fucking say about her!"
"You act as though I didn't care at all." Clyde spits some blood onto the floor. "I had my brother-in-law killed for touching you, didn't I?"
I scoff. "Tell us why you did that, Clyde, because I know it's not because you really cared."
The sinister smile that appears on his face tells me everything, and I step aside, making room for my little lamb to get to him the moment the words are out of his fucking mouth. He doesn't disappoint, either .
"Why else would I be pissed? Do you know how much a Kappel virgin would have fetched?"
Kappel's eyes were on me, thinking that the danger would come from my direction, so he was completely unaware when Raya practically flew through the air, attaching herself like a spider monkey as she took a page from my book and hit him continuously. Only she still has the knuckles on her hand.
"You son of a bitch! I was just a girl…" she screams.
I finally grab her from around the waist and pull her off him. "Hey, baby, all in good time. We have plenty here to entertain ourselves as we end him."
I turn Raya to face me and brush some of her hair back. A streak of Clyde's blood soils her face, but instead of disgusting me, it stirs my cock awake, and I have to talk it back down. I press my lips to her forehead, letting them linger for just a few seconds.
"Charlie, how about we get our guest here some more water? I'm sure he wants to wash out his mouth," I instruct, without taking my eyes off Raya.
"Yes, Sir."
"How do you want to do this, little lamb. We'll do it however you want."
Raya bites her bottom lip and glances at Clyde. My hands drop as she moves away from me, circling the older man. I can see the disgust on her face, but I can also see the resemblance now that they are together. She has his eyes, especially how they are glowering at each other.
"What is Pike up to? Why did he want an alliance with you, Daddio?" Raya squats in front of him and waits for his response.
"I must say, you have more balls than your brothers do—"
"Quit the bullshit! We want answers. Have you forgotten that you are beneath the Gods of Nyte, and you answer to them ?"
I cover my mouth with my hand, trying to contain the proud grin I bear behind it. I always knew that she belonged by my side. She's fucking magnificent.
Kappel glares at his daughter for reminding him of his place, but still answers her question. "All I know is that Pike wanted to distribute his new product here but knew it would never happen as long as the Heirs were still in control. That's why he needed me; we needed each other."
"So, you would marry me off just so you could have this town?" Raya asks a bit sulkily as she creeps closer to Kappel .
I eye her warily. My little lamb has switched tactics and I'm not sure if I like the change of events. It almost like she's trying to seduce him—her own father. I know that's not the case, but it doesn't stop my stomach from churning.
"You don't mean shit to me, Saraya. I told your mother never to get pregnant by me, and she didn't listen. All you're good for is making alliances."
I'm watching Raya closely, so I notice her body tense slightly before she continues. "So, if I'm nothing to you," she says, then pauses and places her hand on his knee. "Then you won't mind if I impale you…"
I'm circling to the side to get a better view, and I see her lick her lips. I'm just about to end this little scene when she catches me off guard again. She reaches into the side pocket of her leggings and pulls something out as she finally finishes her sentence.
"With my little friend!" Raya's hand snakes out, and she's digging a knife into Kappel's groin. "This should have been done to you years ago, you bastard!"
"AGH!!!"
She's forgotten that his hands have some slack, and he brings them up and begins choking her. I rush to them and pry Clyde's hands from around Raya's neck. She's fucking laughing at his attempt to kill her.
"Move!" I order her, but she ignores me and twists the knife in further. "Raya, I said fucking move!"
When she meets my eyes, she realizes that I'm pissed, and she backs away. When she is far enough back, I pick up the glass that Charlie brought back and shove it at Clyde.
"Fucking drink it because I don't know when you will get more or if you will get more."
Kappel swipes the glass from my hand and guzzles it down. I look over my shoulder at Charlie, and he nods, signaling that the job is done. Good. Now, we wait.
First sweating, then coughing, and now it seems Clyde is having difficulty breathing. His eyes widen, and he shakes his head. "I've lost too much blood," he states .
"I'm sure you have, but that's not why you're having all these other difficulties, Mr. Kappel."
"Nyx?"
I push aside my irritation at Raya's earlier behavior and smile at her. "Yes, little lamb?"
"What did you do?"
I simply shrug. "I haven't done anything, not really." I snap my fingers, remembering earlier, and say, "Aside from hitting him just a bit ago. You're the one that went ape shit on him and then stabbed him in the dick."
Charlie chuckles from over by the door.
"Stop being a smartass, Nyx. What did you do?" She comes to stand before me and crosses her arms. "Enough with the secrets already."
I sigh.
"Do you know what tetrahydrozoline is?"
"Do I look like a damn pharmacist?"
She never sees my hand coming as it grips her jaw, and I pull her close. "Keep going with your little smartass comments, and you will find a big ole cock in this pretty little mouth, shutting it up."
"Is that supposed to be a punishment?"
I snicker, crush her lips with mine, then pull away, letting go of her jaw. "I swear, that mouth…"
"May never take your cock again if you keep being an asshole."
She's got me all fucking flustered.
"Do you want to know, or do you want to keep running your mouth?" I ask her.
I need to distract myself before I decide to take her right here and now; fuck her damn father.
He'll be dead within minutes, anyway. Yanking her into me, I turn us to face Clyde as he's starting to turn a little bluish.
My hands wander, making Raya's breath hitch as one hand slides up and under my shirt she's still wearing and the other slithers inside her bottoms.
"Tetrahydrozoline is found in eye drops. It's clear, odorless, and mostly tasteless. It can be very deadly if consumed, and you don't seek medical attention." I tweak her nipple and she gasps.
"Y-you b-bast-ard!" Clyde barely gets out.
"You drank it, though," Saraya states breathlessly.
Shrugging, I further explain, "I took a sip, so I'm fine—unlike Daddio over there." I dip my head and nibble on her neck .
"Death by eye drops—that's a first for me," Raya says, amused.
I bring my lips to her ear and whisper, "If he doesn't die soon, I may have to put a bullet in him because I have an insatiable need to fuck you right here."
Raya gasps and glances at Charlie, pretending he doesn't know what we're discussing. Fuck, I don't care who's around; I'll throw her on this floor, blood splattered and all, and fuck that sassy behavior right out of her—well, for at least a few hours.
Clyde begins to jerk as his body seizes, and we watch as if he's going to do tricks or some shit.
My hand cups Raya's sex—which is soaked, by the way—and I plunge two fingers into her tight cunt as we witness Kappel begins to take his last few breaths of life.
I'm enraptured by the way Raya is responding to me in this situation and it turns me on even more.
"Come for me, little lamb. Let that fucker see who it is that owns your every orgasm before he takes his last breath."
"Oh fuck…Nyx."
"Yes, baby. Look at him. See what we did to the asshole who tried to give you away. I'm right here fighting with you, Raya. We're going to rule this town with the others, and it all starts this moment. Now, fucking come!"
The sweet sound of my little lamb coming all over my fingers the moment Clyde’s head lolls to the side and his eyes stare back at us blankly, echoes through the room. She jerks on my hand as her walls tighten around me. I remember that we aren't alone, and I growl out to Charlie.
"Leave, now!"
"Yes, Sir." Adrik's man replies with a knowing smile.
"You can't be serious!" My little lamb shakes her head as she starts coming back to her senses.
"Oh, I'm dead serious."
She moves away, and I let her, sucking her essence off my fingers as she does.
"Nyx, we can't—"
"Who fucking says I can't fuck my woman whenever I want?" I bite down on my lower lip as I peruse her body. "Strip, Raya."
She glances at the body, still chained to the chair.
"He's dead, Raya. He isn't going to see a thing. Besides, you just let me finger bang you right in front of him as he was dying."
"It's so—wrong. "
"Do you want to know what's wrong? The fact that I've told you to strip, and you are still wearing your fucking clothes."
I stalk her as she continues to back away. My hands quickly work my belt buckle, and I slide it out of the hoops. Holding it up, I grin.
"What do you plan to do with that?" Raya eyes the belt suspiciously, as she should.
Snapping the black leather between my hands, I stop walking as soon as her ass hits the table beside her dead sperm donor. Reaching out with one hand, I caress her cheek, rubbing my thumb over her bottom lip before pulling it down and baring her lower teeth.
"That's for you to decide, little lamb. You've earned a punishment, so you can either A, get the belt on that cute little ass of yours, or B," I reply, "wear it as a necklace."
