Chapter 45
Chapter forty-five
Liam
I'm about to jizz in my pants.
My sexy as fuckk queen is raging like a bull and all I can think about is how goddamned turned on I am. Who knew a set of pyjamas covered in blood could look so good on a woman? And her bump and massive tits fuckkk. Not to mention the new cool as fuck mask she’s got going on.
Isla has my head turning crazy.
My inner psycho is banging on the bars of his enclosure, screaming to be let out and fuck her senseless.
God, this woman is incredible.
I knew that from the second I spotted her but hearing her scary as fuck angry voice echo down the tunnel and those three bastards shit their pants had me rock hard in seconds.
But right now, what has me ready to blow is watching her jealousy take over and I know I shouldn’t love it as much as I am but what can I say… I think I’ve found my new kink.
Isla scowls at Kate’s bloodied face. She’s probably debating if she should get another punch in and judging from the raging shadows around her, the rest of her group wouldn’t think twice but to join in after her.
‘That’s it.’ Isla announces, raising her machete.
‘Alright,’ I hug her back, gently encouraging her to lower her murder weapon. ‘Let’s not go getting too blood thirsty now. Although I do love seeing this side of you, baby.’
Someone makes an obnoxious deal over retching behind us and I get the point. I don’t let go of Isla, though. Not when she’s currently on a murderous rampage.
‘I’ve gone mad,’ Kate announces from the floor. ‘I’ve gone fucking mental.’
‘You’re abit late to the party with that one,’ Luna chimes. ‘Did you not get the memo when the apocalypse hit?’
‘Luna,’ Fauna warns.
‘It’s quite impressive really. Managing this long without losing ya marbles. Girlll, you could have been some coach for that shit in the old world—’
‘Luna!’
She drops her head, toeing the ground like a child. ‘I’m just saying.’
‘Tell me what happened,’ Isla demands.
‘His kind are monsters that’s what happened,’ a glob of blood splats at my feet. ‘Fucking monsters.’
‘Specifically…’
‘Well he…’ Kate takes in Isla and the rest of the girls, confusion painting her swollen face. ‘They…’ her gaze drops to Isla’s swollen belly — her very pregnant belly. ‘They’re breeding you.’
A few snorts and giggles come from the others but Isla doesn’t respond. Her jaw ticks as she works over what has just been said.
‘Do I look like some prized mare to you?’ Oh shit, she’s taken that very wrong. ‘I’m not some fucking cow that is nothing but a—’
‘I told her that’s what we were doing, baby.’ Interjecting to try and diffuse the situation. ‘I couldn’t let them think we are anything but evil. And being one big happy family doesn’t exactly paint that sort of picture.’
Isla turns to me, scowling.
‘I came to get some medical equipment to help with the baby's birth. To keep an eye on you and make sure you are safe, but I needed a story and that’s the only thing I could come up with…’
When I say it out loud and lay it on the table like that, it doesn’t sound the best, but I did what I did with the time I had. She can be pissed at me for it, I’d do it again if it kept her safe.
‘And then what? She said, “sure get in this chair and I’ll sort you right out”.’
I don’t miss the jab in her tone. Alright, she’s a little more pissed off than I’d like or want, but all threats have been eliminated, so all is well in that sense.
‘I drugged him.’
‘You drugged him?’
Kate nods, chin held high as she stares at me. ‘What do you expect me to fucking say. Because I’m not someone who listens to someone say breeding camp and lets the men who uttered them walk away freely.’
‘She’s got a point,’ Fauna mutters to Isla.
And I watch as my girl processes this information.
‘So you drugged him, somehow strapped his big ass.’ Now that’s just rude. ‘To a chair and what? Were you planning on giving him a strongly worded lecture? Why not kill him?’
Kate shrugs, ‘I don’t believe in killing people like that quickly.’
‘No, you just live with them instead.’ The redhead — Elizabeth — nods to the two dead bodies.
‘I was working on that.’
‘Sure looks like it,’ Elizabeth scoffs.
‘Oh like you’re all so perfect walking around with the likes of him, a Skull. My brother might have been an asshole but he wasn’t anywhere near as bad as them.’ I presume she's talking about me. ‘He said fucked up shit but he never acted on it. Not like other people up there do.’
Some of the girls grumble, fed up with Kate’s rambling but Isla, Fauna and I stay. I notice Elizabeth does too, despite her becoming one with the shadows.
‘Do you think I want to live down here in the dark? That I like the smell and damp. I fucking hate it but what other option do I have? Kill these two and have no protection. Make it so my friends and I are easy pickings for whatever is up there.’ Face red and chest heaving, she points at the empty tunnel behind her.
‘Did it not occur to any of you that there are other people here with us but they are too scared to come out. They don’t have it in them to face monsters like I have.
I kept them alive the only way I knew how, so don’t fucking judge me for how I did it. ’
This world is fucked up.
‘So what’s your plan now then?’ Isla asks.
Kate’s shoulders drop, ‘I don’t know.’
Isla looks at me.
‘I’ll send some of the guys. You can make a plan with them.’
‘No, no.’ Kate begins to shake her head, stepping back.
‘Urghhh,’ pink hair appears in my peripheral, along with two expressive arms waving her point.
‘You’re a pretty fucking stupid scientist. How can you look at us — a group of fucking women — and still think we are the ones being used and manipulated by their stupid little group.
We came here and killed your guys, not The Skulls, us.
We are in charge of what happens to us.’
‘You’re not the only one that used a persona to scare off the rest of the world,’ Elizabeth adds from the shadows and something in her tone has a creepy ass shiver running down my spine.
Kate, wide-mouthed and speechless, looks between the formidable group of women before her. Again looking down to Isla’s pregnant bump, really noticing the truth of the situation. Then she nods.
‘I’ll get you everything you need for the birth.’
