WITSEC

Chapter 18

Chapter Eighteen

As the night continued on, more and more people showed up, and some of them were just as creative with their costume makeup as the girl with the ripped-out throat.

I made sure I looked at them all. I didn’t want to, but I knew that I had to. So I made a game of it. Take in their bloody costume, keep my breathing deep and slow, while trying to figure out if I recognized who they were from school. Did I have a class with them? I took in their smiles and laughter as they interacted with others. I made myself see that they were alive. As I did this, the more times I crossed paths with someone dressed horrifically, the easier it became to detach from the fear—from what seeing the fake blood and gore reminded me of.

During all this, Colt and Creed never left my side. Recognizing that I was fighting to win something tonight, Isabelle always made sure I had a drink in my hand. It was as if she knew I needed an advantage. An unhealthy one, but an advantage nonetheless. Feeling the warm buzz of alcohol did help ease some of my anxiety.

Now that the party was in full swing, I was a bit tipsy and, honestly, feeling triumphant. Tonight felt like a huge step forward. After my failure last night, I hadn’t wanted to admit that I’d had doubts about tonight. I was proud of myself for pushing through that doubt. Some of this could be the booze talking, but I was happy. Probably the happiest I’d been in a long time. Not only that, I was optimistic. I could do this. I was on the right path and maybe for once, after being so lost for so long, I could allow myself to envision a future.

Isabelle and I had claimed a spot to dance in the living room and hadn’t left that spot for a handful of songs. I was smiling and laughing and just enjoying having fun with her.

“I think you’re becoming my best friend,” I shouted over the music.

Isabelle grabbed my hands and together we moved to the beat of “Don’t Start Now” by Dua Lipa. “I think you’re becoming my best friend, too,” she shouted back and spun me.

I laughed and spun her next. As the song ended, another began and I was ready for another drink. “I’m going to get a beer. Do you want one?”

She shook her head as she danced. I started weaving through the crowd of dancing bodies. I spotted Colt and Creed by the opened deck doors, their eyes following me as they talked to their friends. I gestured that I was getting a drink with my hand by my mouth.

Colt moved to come with me, but I waved him off and shook my head. “I’m fine,” I mouthed, and he nodded.

I squeezed past people to get into the kitchen and over to the fridge. I didn’t have the patience to make a mixed drink and it was probably best to switch to beer anyway. I was a little past the point of being buzzed and I didn’t want to ruin tonight by getting trashed.

Opening the fridge, I pulled out a beer. I stood there for a moment, sipping it and letting myself cool off a little. It got hot dancing.

I people-watched. I was happy to not see Cassy, Amber, or Gabe here. They hadn’t been invited, but I wouldn’t have put it past them to crash.

My gaze drifted to the hall that led to Knox’s room and I began wondering about him and Keelan. Taking my beer with me, I ducked under the caution tape and went down the hall to the door that led to his room.

I walked in without knocking and both looked in my direction, ready to yell at me like I was an intruder. Neither of them had moved from the spots I’d last seen them in. Which reminded me of our conversation we’d had before. Keelan wanted me and he would have taken me in front of Knox if I’d let him.

“You doing all right?” Knox asked.

I closed the door and leaned against it. “I’m hot.”

One side of Keelan’s mouth lifted. “Yeah, you are.”

I smiled and pushed off the door. I set my beer down on the dresser as I made my way across the room. I came to stand in front of Keelan, very aware of Knox watching. Keelan stared up at me and the look on my face must have given away my intentions, because he smirked knowingly. I brought my knee up on the bed beside his hip, then climbed onto his lap, straddling him.

He dropped his controller, without caring that it clattered on the floor and probably broke, to grab me by my hips. “What are you thinking, baby girl?”

I wrapped my arms around his neck. “You know exactly what I’m thinking,” I said against his lips before I kissed him.

He accepted my kiss and tried to deepen it with his tongue demanding entry into my mouth. I let him have a little taste and parted my lips long enough to lap my tongue along his before pulling away. His hands slid up my back in protest, wanting me to stay close enough to devour. I tilted my head back as he tried to reclaim my mouth. His lips pressed to my neck, and he trailed them up at the same time his hands moved up my back, past my shoulders, until they reached the back of my neck. He made me look at him. “How much have you had to drink?”

I shoved him backward until he was lying beneath me. “I’m sober enough to consent.” I crawled over him, and he let me pin his arms above his head. I brushed my nose along his ear. “I’m in the mood to pray,” I whispered and ran my tongue up his neck.

He let out a groan and I pulled away to stare down at him. His eyes were hooded and hungry. “I’m a bastard enough to believe you.”

“Keelan,” Knox said. I’d been wondering when he’d finally break his silence.

I rocked my hips against Keelan’s hardening cock as I smiled over my shoulder. “Don’t be such a cockblock, Knox. It’s ruining the moment.”

Keelan’s body shook beneath me as he laughed.

I returned my attention to him. “Don’t turn me down.” I pressed my lips to his with a quick kiss.

He freed his hand from under mine and brought it to my cheek. “You want me to fuck you, baby girl?”

I gave him the best puppy-dog eyes I could muster. “Please.”

“So fucking adorable,” he groaned, and in an instant, I was pinned beneath him. “I want to see more of this sexy minx side of you. Show me her again. Tell me how badly you want me to fuck you.”

I smiled. Maybe it was because Knox was in the room, but I wanted to rebel a little. “All you have to do is reach into my panties and you’ll see for yourself.”

Knox let out a slew of vulgar words from where he sat.

Keelan just grinned down at me. “You aren’t getting what you want until I get what I want.”

I pouted and he shook his head.

“I know you got it in you,” he said, bringing his mouth to my breast and biting my hard nipple through my costume.

I hissed and my body arched, seeking more.

He released my nipple with a smug look. “Tell me, baby. I know the naughty words are on the tip of your tongue.”

“I want you to fuck me so badly all I can think about is coming on your cock, screaming.”

“How do you want me to fuck you?” he asked.

“On my hands and knees. Don’t be gentle.”

“What about Knox?”

I tilted my head to the side and looked past Keelan to see him. Knox was already staring at me with a hard expression. “He’s welcome to watch.”

Keelan grinned down at me like he knew exactly what I was up to. “What a naughty girl. You want me to show him what he’s missing?”

“Yes.”

He gave me a quick, rewarding kiss on the lips before climbing off of me.

I rolled and got on all fours facing Knox. “Try not to ruin my makeup,” I said without taking my eyes off of Knox.

“No promises.” Keelan lifted my poofy skirt and pulled my underwear down. Lifting my knees, I helped him remove them completely. “Hold on to these, will ya?” Keelan said before tossing my lacy panties at Knox.

They hit Knox in the chest and fell to his lap. He picked them and fisted them in his hand.

Keelan trailed his hand up the back of my thigh. He flicked the strap of the garter before continuing up to my butt cheek. His hand pulled away and came down in a loud smack. “Hottest Pennywise I’ve ever seen.” His other hand smoothed over my other butt cheek, and he used his thumbs to spread me open. “My naughty little clown is already wet for me.” He brought his hand between my legs and ran a finger from my clit to my center, back and forth. “Which do I play with first?”

“Keelan,” I grumbled.

“Or the better question is…which will make you moan louder?” Keelan asked and began rubbing my clit. “This one?”

My thighs quivered as he worked that spot with vigor. I started moaning as I felt an orgasm start to build.

“Or this one?” he said, removing his fingers from my clit and pushing two inside my pussy.

“Stop teasing,” I gritted out as I rocked back on his fingers, aching to come.

Knox didn’t take his eyes off of me.

Keelan chuckled. “Should I stop teasing her?”

Knox’s gaze drifted up to look at his brother, but he didn’t answer.

That didn’t deter Keelan. He removed his fingers from me, and I felt him shift behind me. Then I heard the sound of his zipper. My breath hitched as I felt Keelan align himself with me. The small sound pulled Knox’s focus back to me.

“So fucking tight,” Keelan gritted as he slowly sheathed himself completely inside me. “And warm and wet. So fucking perfect.”

I realized then that his filthy words weren’t just for my benefit, but for Knox’s. With the way Knox’s hand squeezed around the armrest of the chair, I could tell they were affecting him.

Keelan, I’d just learned, was my partner in this risky act we were performing for Knox. This would either set off his jealousy or ease his fears. The fact that he hadn’t left the room yet was reassuring.

Keelan withdrew from me and slammed back in, making me whimper and fist the blanket beneath my hands. Knox was fixated on me as Keelan began to pound into me. I didn’t think he ever blinked. As if not wanting to miss a single reaction I might have or the slightest facial contortion. I did my best to not look away from his intense stare, either. But it was difficult. As much as I wanted to watch Knox, I so badly wanted to close my eyes or bury my face in the bed, savoring every thrust of Keelan’s cock and the sounds of us slapping together. I felt torn. I wanted to enjoy Keelan, but my worry for Knox was getting in the way.

“Please,” I pleaded.

Keelan grabbed my pigtails and pulled on them, forcing my head backward some. “Are you really going to deny our girl?” he asked his brother. “You haven’t left the room and you have yet to take her from me as I’ve fucked her in front of you. That should tell you something.”

Knox’s eyes flicked back and forth between Keelan and me. So much emotion showed on his face as he did. Anger. Worry. Hunger. By the large bulge in his pants, it was obvious which type of hunger it was.

“Knox,” I pleaded. It would be the last time. If nothing came of it, then I’d give myself to Keelan in this moment fully.

Keelan slowed his movement behind me when Knox stood. Even though Keelan now moved in me at a languid pace, we both were waiting to see what Knox would do.

Knox shoved my panties in his back pocket and came to stand before me. He cupped my chin and rubbed his thumb across my bottom lip, smearing my red lipstick. “I guess I’ll be having my way with this red mouth.”

“There won’t be any saving your makeup now, Shi,” Keelan said.

I was too stunned to do or say anything. Especially when Knox began unbuttoning his pants with his other hand. He squeezed my chin and my eyes shot up to his. “Yes or no?” he said.

“Yes,” I said barely above a whisper.

Knox released my chin and shoved down his pants and briefs enough to pull out his cock. I watched as he stroked his long, hard length.

“Do you want this?” he asked.

I nodded.

He stepped closer and I parted my lips slightly as he brought himself to my mouth. He tapped the tip of his cock against my bottom lip. I stared up at him as he dragged it across like he had done with his thumb. I swiped my tongue out, getting a quick taste of him. His breath hitched.

Keelan chose that moment to let go of my hair. At being able to move my head, the corner of my mouth twitched. I was going to enjoy taking control.

As Knox dragged the tip back across my lip again, I tilted my head down and took him into my mouth. He released his grip on his shaft and put that hand behind my head. With a slight push, he urged me to take more of him.

Oh, no, no, no.

It was my turn to tease someone.

Sorry, Knox.

With one hand, I reached up and fisted his shaft. I gave him a few hard strokes that I knew he would like, then began exploring him with my tongue.

“Fuck,” he hissed.

Keelan chuckled and began thrusting a little harder.

Knox glanced at his brother. “Now I understand why Creed wants to kick your ass.”

Keelan chuckled again. “That’s all her. I just showed her how to deep throat.”

Knox let out another curse, which I interrupted when I took him into my mouth and showed him just how far I could take him. He groaned. “She does that exceptionally well.”

Keelan moved his hand down and around my hip until his fingers found my clit. “You going to let him fuck your mouth while I fuck this pussy?”

At the way his fingers played with me, I released Knox from my mouth and cried, “Yes.” I wanted to tease someone, but his idea was better.

Keelan didn’t let up on my clit and I felt myself quickly reaching my peak. “Tell Knox you want him to fuck your mouth,” Keelan said.

“I want you—I’m going to come,” I said with breathy words.

Keelan’s fingers stilled.

“Keelan!” I growled.

“Shiloh,” he said back with laughter in his voice.

I glanced up at Knox. “I want you to fuck my mouth.”

“Good girl,” Keelan praised and returned to strumming my clit.

In the middle of my groan, Knox pushed his cock back into my mouth, cutting it off. He let me have my way with him, licking and sucking at my pace until Keelan made me come undone. It was as I was moaning around Knox’s cock that he began thrusting into my mouth. He didn’t go far at first, as if giving me a moment to recover from my release and to prepare myself for what was coming.

As if on the same wavelength, they thrust into me deeper and harder at the same time. Knox only did it a handful of times before returning to being gentle and letting me do what I wanted to him. Keelan kept up the amazing pace that was sure to make me come again. For that moment, though, when they’d both been having their way with me, using me in a way that may have been degrading, I’d found it to be the hottest thing. Maybe it was the lack of control for all three of us and just chasing our delirious needs. I hadn’t been surprised that Knox hadn’t been able to let go for long. He was too controlled of a person to let that happen.

As Keelan worked to get us both off, I worked on Knox. I sucked hard and grazed my teeth along his shaft, knowing he liked it rough.

“That’s it,” he said as his hand on the back of my head urged me to bob faster.

I did as guided, even though my focus was split by the growing pressure between my legs.

Knox cursed and jets of cum hit the back of my throat. I worked quickly to swallow it all because I was coming. Failing, I released him from my mouth and cried out as I shattered to pieces. Keelan’s thrusts turned jerky, and I felt him begin to fill me with his release.

The only thing I could hear for a moment was my pounding heart and ragged breathing. Then, slowly, I began to hear muffled music from the party.

With his thumb, Knox wiped the corner of my mouth, and as he did, the music from the party became unmuffled and Colt’s voice filled the room. “Have you guys seen Shi?—”

Colt had one foot in the room and stared at us like a deer caught in headlights. When he recovered, he looked like he was trying not to laugh. “Never mind,” he said and went to leave. Before closing the door completely behind him, he reached around and grabbed the doorknob. “I’m just going to lock this.” After twisting the lock, he shut the door.

I looked up at Knox and Knox looked from me to Keelan. A heartbeat passed and the three of us laughed.
