Chapter 81
KADENCE
“Isee why Blaize likes you.” My stomach coiled as he touched me.
I struggled against my restraints, but it only made my feet scrape the ground and my head spin. Once again, I was helpless, only this time I was being used as a trap. He didn’t want me—not really. Elijah and Everly wanted the woman I loved. They were going to kill me before finishing her off.
Elijah grabbed my jaw, forcing me to look at him. His thumb brushed against my lower lip as I held my glare. “She should be waking up soon. Maybe we should give her a show to wake up to.”
“Fuck you,” I spat.
He backhanded me, and my body jerked, pulling at my restraints.
“Don’t worry. She’ll fuck you soon enough.
” He walked over to Blaize who was tied to a chair, slumped over.
I didn’t know what he did to her, but blood was pouring from her head and she wasn’t moving.
Her chest was rising slightly, so I knew she wasn’t dead.
“Blaize,” I whimpered. “Please, wake up!”
Everly scoffed, walking towards me. “Stupid bitch. “Do you really think she loves you?” She grabbed my jaw, lowering my face closer to hers. “You are easy, desperate pussy. Throwing yourself at her like a needy whore, but that’s your specialty, though.”
I jerked my head back. “Don’t touch me.”
“I’m going to have fun playing with your sweet little cunt before I slit your goddamn throat.
” I spit at her, hitting her cheek with a mixture of saliva and my blood.
She scowled at me and wiped her face before walking to Blaize.
She gripped Blaize’s hair before yanking her head back and smacked her face. “Wake up, bitch.”
Blaize groaned, her eyes slowly fluttering open.
When Everly let go of her, her head tilted to the side before she pulled it up.
She squeezed her eyes closed and back open.
Her slanted eyes found mine, and they snapped open.
She tugged at her restraints as realization washed over her.
Warm, honey eyes snake down my body, seeing my naked form. Shame blossomed on my cheeks.
Everly got heavy handed with a knife while Elijah went to get Blaize, but it didn’t stop him from beating the shit out of me.
“About time. Now we can have fun with your bitch,” Everly sang with joy.
“Leave. Her. Alone,” Blaize seethed through gritted teeth.
Everly gripped my throat, pulling my head back and digging her nails into my skin, causing me to gasp in pain.
She touched my chest, teasing me. I never realized having a drunk girls night would lead to my pleasure being used against me by someone I considered a friend.
Panic gnawed at my bones, but I was mortified.
I barely survived my first assault…I knew what they had planned, and I didn’t think I could survive this time.
Elijah walked back into the room with only his blue jeans.
His belt was undone as he stepped behind me.
I shifted my weight, wanting to keep my eyes on him, but I couldn’t from this angle.
My eyes met Blaize’s again, and I could see the hint of fear in her gaze, too.
She couldn’t help me…I couldn’t even help myself.
I heard Elijah’s belt snap, and my body tensed. “I heard from a little bird that you like pain.” The belt snapped. “Let's see how long it takes for me to make you scream.”
The belt snapped again, this time hitting the center of my back, leaving a stinging pain behind.
I gasped, but I refused to scream. I refused to give him that sick satisfaction.
He hit my back again and again, until there were tears streaming down my face and my skin was screaming in agony from burning marks left behind.
“Everly, touch her.” My entire body went still.
I jerked as Everly steps closer to me again.
She had her knife in her hand and a smile plastered on her lips.
She ran the edge of the blade down my neck, chest, and swirled it around the tip of my right nipple before doing the same to the left.
She wasn’t soft. The blade nicked my skin, but it was the least of my concern.
Everly leaned forward, her mouth on my skin as my stomach recoiled. My eyes snapped open and I met Blaize’s death glare. Her look shifted when she saw me pleading with her—guilt and fear danced in her eyes.
“Ahhh!” I screamed as I felt Everly stab me with her bowie knife with a long, curved handle. It was the same place Liam stabbed me before. “Oh…n-no.”
Elijah hit my back again, and everything went haywire with the pain and Everly touching me. My brain wanted to shut off, but it didn’t. It took a minute for me to realize Everly was on her knees…between my thighs.
“N-no,” I begged.
Elijah stepped behind me, his hands wrapping around my waist as he pulled me against him. I could feel his erection digging into my thigh, and I felt sick. “Keep your eyes on her, bitch,” he whispered in my ear. “Blaize, why don’t you watch Everly fuck your whore.”
“E-Everly, d-don’t.” She peered up at me with a wicked look in her eyes.
“Let’s see why Blaize loves this cunt so much,” she said as her face disappeared.
I vanished somewhere else, forcing my mind to take me away from this moment.
Before I had drugs to make me slip into a daze, but now there was nothing.
The feeling of Everly’s mouth and Elijah’s hands groping me didn’t send me to a dark abyss, it made me stay present.
I hated that they were doing this to me in front of Blaize.
A guttural scream escaped me when Everly stabbed her bowie knife into my thigh, burying the blade to the hilt.
My chest heaved as pain erupted through me, but Everly didn’t remove her mouth from me.
I looked at Blaize with tears in my eyes, and she was seething in anger.
Her jaw was so tight, I swear her teeth would shatter.
Blaize screamed something, but my mind was in overdrive trying to protect me, but also suffering from the physical and emotional trauma.
I met her anger-filled eyes and mouthed I love you as I held back sobs.
