Chapter 13
Corporal Punishment
Harper
Luke’s eyes darken and his smile turns positively wicked, making me soaked. His fingers trail up my thigh and slide under my skirt.
“Honey?” His other hand tightens around the back of my neck. “Are you certain, pet?”
I whimper at that name. He used it during the hunt and a few other times. Always when he wants to control and dominate me. Fuck, I need that right now.
These guys are in my blood and my head, filling me with promises of a future. When all we really have is right here and now. It’s possible we could be something more. But we're young and the future is a long way away.
"Yes, Death." I raise my eyebrow in challenge.
He presses his hard cock against my stomach and my insides tighten in need. "Do you want a taste, pet?"
My heart pounds as my eyes search his. Maybe he needs this as much as I do. To reestablish the lines that have grown so blurry.
It doesn't matter that the Cheermonsters call me pet. Luke never does it in public. Only when we're like this. It helps me remember who I am. Who he is.
He's the owner and I'm his pet. But I've never been a docile one.
I wet my lips, never taking my gaze from his. I cock my head and narrow my eyes. "Make me."
His eyes light with an unholy light and his smile is evil before his lips take mine. He forces his tongue into my mouth. He tastes of whiskey and soda and darkness. I drink from his lips, wanting this moment to never end.
His heat engulfs me. I reach between us and pull his belt loose. As I undo his button, he growls low in the back of his throat. My insides tremble with excitement. He grabs my hands and slams my wrists against the wall next to my head.
"You'll take what I give you," he whispers against my lips before diving in again. My whole being is in flames as he rocks against me. We both know how good it feels to be locked together in passion.
When he steps back and releases me, I almost fall as my body tries to stay connected to his. He draws his belt out of his pants, folding it and snapping it.
"Run, pet."
My eyes widen.
He wouldn't.
With the belt?
Would he?
The others lean against the wall. Their faces in shadow. My breath catches, even as that fire burns hotter. I’ve woken their darkness and now it wants to play with me. Fuck if I don’t want to play with it too.
I take off down the hallway. It's not much different from the game of hide-and-seek except he gives me no time to hide before he's after me. They’re all after me. Their heavy steps fall in line with mine, making me run harder.
They’re toying with me. They could easily catch me. Crash against me and have me on the ground.
Fuck. I reach the stairs and stumble, falling to my hands and knees on the steps. Before I can scramble up, he's on me. Luke grabs my hands and pulls them above me in one of his, forcing me awkwardly onto the steps.
His other hand reaches between my legs and grabs hold of my panties. "I preferred the lacy thong, pet."
He rips the panties from my body and I gasp at the sting as the fabric tears. I have no time to process before his fingers find my center and push in deep. I whimper at the need for more.
"So fucking wet for me." His nose trails up the nape of my neck and then his lips follow. I can't breathe. He doesn't move his fingers, but I want him to. I need him to fuck me. To remind me that this is what we are. Two animals in heat.
That's all we're good for. Is this.
He pulls his fingers out before thrusting in deep over and over. I clench my teeth to keep my moaning inside. I don't want him to know I need this. He needs to work for it.
"Did you enjoy her soft lips more than mine?" He kisses behind my ear and fucks me with his fingers as he holds me down.
“They were soft,” I gasp out. “Supple.”
My breasts are pressed against the stair. I'm completely contained. I can't fight the oncoming release. Pressing my forehead against the step, I pant with every thrust into my body. My hips begin to rock with his thrusts. Just as I'm about to come, he pulls his fingers out.
I scream my frustration. Caden chuckles darkly from nearby.
"Did you think you deserved to come, little nympho?" He trails his finger along my arm.
Luke jerks me up with him, bringing my hands behind my back. "Walk, pet."
I tug at my captive hands, but I can't get away. Not that I want to. My pussy throbs with frustrated need. I know eventually they'll give me the release I crave, but they’ll make me work for it.
Luke forces me up the stairs and into Caden's bedroom. He pauses just inside the room. I press my thighs together, knowing it won't relieve the ache, but it feels comforting to try to do something.
Eli brushes my side as he steps around us. He tips my chin up, but I turn my head away. I don't want to give in tonight. I want to be taken, consumed, used up until there's nothing left of me.
He grabs my jaw and forces me to look at him. His fingers press hard into my jaw muscles to keep me there.
"Naughty kittens get punished." His dark eyes draw me in.
"Pretty sure that's what she wants." Caden's chuckle fills the room as he sits on the couch and puts his hands behind his head. His gaze takes me in. "She wants to earn her orgasm."
I press my lips together mulishly. I want them to earn their orgasm, not the other way around.
Eli strokes my jaw. "Say your safe word, kitten, so we know you remember it."
"Arrow."
Eli smirks. "Do you want to need it tonight, kitten? Do you want us to push you until you break?"
My pulse is heavy and fast as I search his dark eyes. I haven't used it because I haven't needed it. They've always made sure I was taken care of even during punishment.
Do I want them to push me so far that I need to say it? Do I want them to show me the monsters I hid from for years?
The monsters I no longer fear.
Eli studies me. "Maybe another time. Maybe this time."
He steps back and Luke leads me forward into the room. He releases my hands and sits on one of the chairs. Luke snaps his belt again. "You know what to do."
He pats his lap. Is he going to spank me with the belt? It’s folded in half. My fight-or-flight kicks in and I choose flight.
When I take a step back to escape, Eli's body stops me. He wraps an arm around my waist, holding me pressed against his hot body. Even through his jeans, I can feel his hard cock pressed against the top of my ass.
"You want this. You crave this. You need this,” he whispers softly in my ear.
I whimper and he takes both my hands and holds my wrists in front of me.
"Bound or unbound?" He kisses behind my ear, giving me the choice.
Would they use Luke’s belt? I’m so wet I can feel it on my thighs. They want to push me to say my safe word. Fuck that. I suck in a breath.
"If you want me bound, you'll have to fight to tie me up." My bravado is easy, because Luke hasn’t used the belt on me yet.
Eli's chuckle is dark, sending shivers down my spine. "Whatever you want, kitten."
He draws my hands behind me and shoves me down onto Luke's lap. When I try to stand up, Luke puts his hand in the center of my back to hold me down. Eli kicks my legs wide, standing between them to keep them that way.
My hands are useless as I try to use them for leverage to buck off Luke’s lap. My skirt isn’t that long and the cool air wafts over my wet, hot skin.
Caden watches with an amused look on his face. When Luke flips my skirt up and the cool leather of his belt rubs my ass cheek, I gasp in a breath.
Fuck, this feels like that first time in the cafeteria. Except far fewer people are watching and I don't have on panties. Luke has spanked me before but always with his hand. The belt will hurt more. I know that. Anticipation makes me even wetter.
Luke lifts the belt from my skin and I brace, waiting for it to fall on my ass cheek, but nothing happens.
I squirm on his lap, but his other hand remains on my low back, holding me down.
"You want this, pet." It's not a question.
I don't answer him.
"If I thrust my finger into your cunt, I’ll find you dripping wet for us." Again, not a question.
But fuck if I don't get wetter thinking about it. That and Eli looking at my spread-open pussy and ass, waiting for their punishment. Waiting for the sting of pain and the burst of pleasure.
"Caden." Luke’s voice makes me twitch.
Caden looks at Luke then nods and stands. He walks over to his nightstand and pulls something out. I can't see what from here, but I know there's lube in there.
I try again to lift, but Luke holds me down. My arms are useless. There's nothing to brace against besides his legs and the angle is all wrong.
"We'll take you rough, pet."
My face heats at Luke’s words. “Before or after you use your belt on me?”
His dark chuckle makes me tense.
"We'll take your pussy, your ass, and your mouth. No permission needed, because you're ours." The whoosh of the belt cutting the air is the only warning before it cracks on my ass. “All ours.”
"Fuck." The word bursts from me. Hot burning pain explodes from my ass cheek. I pant as I try to get through the hurt.
"Did you enjoy flirting with Ethan all night?" Luke's voice is tight. But there’s no real anger in his words. He’s calm and collected.
Eli pulls my ass cheeks apart. When the wet, blunt tip of a plug presses against my asshole, I suck in a breath and try to relax as Caden presses it in slowly. Pleasure blurs with the pain from the belt.
"She liked flirting with Penny too." Caden sinks the plug all the way in before twisting it.
"Oh, fuck," I whisper, closing my eyes and sinking into the sensation. Pain, pleasure.
"Who do you belong to, pet?" The belt whooshes through the air and I tense as it strikes my other ass cheek. Burning pain radiates through me, making me tighten around the plug. I take deep breaths as the pain eases only a little.
Fuck, it’s more than his hand, but I want this tonight. Luke’s breathing is heavy too.
"Myself, Death." Even I don’t believe that anymore. Deep inside the truth cowers, afraid to let them know that part of me wants to climb on his lap and sink onto his cock before whispering you. I shouldn't want to give in to these beautiful boys. To be theirs.
But I am and for that I want to be punished. I want to be used. I want them to take from me what I will offer freely, because part of me still wants to fight this.
Luke brings the belt down on my other ass cheek and a whimper of pain escapes my lips from the burning, made more intense by him hitting in almost the same spot.
The belt falls to the floor, and I suck in a breath, realizing that part is over. Luke runs his trembling fingers down on either side of my entrance. My pussy and ass clench, making me hyperaware of the butt plug.
His fingers slide lower, opening my pussy lips. "You're glistening with wetness, pet. Even if you don't think I own you, your body knows."
I'm fighting my own need to feel him inside me, to beg him to touch me, to plead with him for release.
Eli grabs my ass cheeks and squeezes the stinging flesh. I cry out as the intensity rushes through me again.
I gasp as tears streak my face. Caden kneels before me. Our eyes meet.
He sinks his hand into my hair. "You need to tap three times if anything gets to be too much."
I won't. I'm not going to tap out. I want everything they give me. I want to be overwhelmed with them and so fucking taken that I have no choice but to give in.
Caden leans in and kisses me like he did that first time. Soft and then claiming, taking over my mouth until all I can do is surrender.
He draws away and stands. His hand tightens in my hair.
"No biting, little nympho." His cock rubs against my lips. “Be nice.”
I lick his tip and Luke twists the butt plug. Desire flows through my blood even as my ass cheeks throb. My lips part and Caden presses inside. He slides in deep until he hits my gag reflex. After I gag, I relax around his thick cock, deep in my mouth.
Just as he’s pushing into my throat, Eli’s cock presses against my entrance. He doesn’t take me gently. He grabs my hips and drives into me. My ass cheeks burn where he holds me, but the pleasure of being filled is almost too much.
Luke twists the plug and I whimper around Caden’s cock.
I’m stuffed full, but no one moves yet. I want to squirm, but I have nowhere to go. Luke has me captured on his lap while Caden and Eli spit roast me. My pussy tightens around Eli’s cock and tears flow down my cheeks from Caden’s cock.
“Who do you belong to, pet?” Luke’s dark voice captures my attention.
Caden and Eli pull out entirely, leaving me empty and needy. I groan, because if this is how he’s going to play, I’ll be begging him in no time.
He pulls out the plug and I whimper.
“Me,” I whisper.
“What, pet?” Luke leans his ear down closer.
“Me. I belong to me.” My voice is steady even if my insides are on fire with need.
His chuckle is dark and when he slides his hand over my pussy, my breath releases.
“You’re wrong.” He drives one finger inside me. “We own you. Your body craves us. It needs us. You can deny us all you like, pet. But in the end, you want us.”
When I try to close my legs, Eli puts his hands on the insides of my thighs to hold them apart.
Luke thrusts his finger into me over and over, but it’s not enough. Not after having Eli inside me. It teases and tortures, but doesn’t bring relief. It doesn’t push me into oblivion.
“Give in, pet, and we’ll give you everything you need.” He grabs my hair with his other hand and lifts my face. “Admit it. Admit you need us.”
His eyes are dark, but there’s almost a hint of something more in there. When I realize he’s not holding me down anymore, I shove off him, falling to the ground next to his feet, but I’m ready and bolt upright. I go the only direction they aren’t, which is toward the bed.
I’m at the side when someone tackles me onto the edge of the bed. My chest and face press down into the comforter as I try to get my feet under me. His jeans against my sore ass take my breath away. Luke’s scent surrounds me as both my knees are lifted and spread out to the sides.
Luke whispers in my ear, “Fight us all you like. We’ll still win in the end. We always win.”
