CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT (ELI'S POV)

last update Last Updated: 2025-03-24 21:49:15

The gun was still in my hand as I stared at Marco Vasquez’s lifeless body laying lifeless at my feet, a dark pool of his blood  spreading beneath him, soaking into the wood of the docks.

I should have felt something, maybe guilt, regret or even fear.

But all I felt was relief.

I had done it.

I had finally cut ties with the last piece of my old life and I was finally free.

And more importantly, I was theirs.

I heard the sound of footsteps approaching from behind me. I knew who it was before I even turned around.

Luca and Matteo. 

They walked slowly and came to a stop. For a brief moment the night air was filled with nothing but silence. Luca was the first to speak. “Are you okay?”

I blinked. It was a strange question, I had just murdered my boss and I ought to have been shaken but I wasn't.

I finally turned to look up at him and said the honest truth. “I feel nothing.”

Matteo smirked. “Good boy.”

My stomach flipped. It was such a simple and effortless praise that I have been badly craving for so long. It warmed my insides hearing it.

It was all I had wanted.

Luca studied me, those piercing eyes searching for something. When he didn’t find whatever it was, he nodded approvingly. “You did well, Elias.”

My heart jumped.

I had done well.

For them.

That was all that mattered.

The dock creaked beneath my boots as I took a hesitant step forward. I swallowed, suddenly feeling nervous. I had to know. I had to ask.

My voice was barely above a whisper. “Have I earned your forgiveness?”

Matteo and Luca exchanged a look. Then without a word, Luca took a step towards me, reached out, his fingers holding under my chin, tilting my head up before his lips pressed against mine—firm, possessive, claiming.

I melted. He tasted like power. Like dominance. Like mine.

All mine.

He pulled away after some minutes and before I could recover, Matteo pulled me into his embrace, his kiss was rougher, teeth grazing my bottom lip asking for access which I granted him. I moaned as his warm tongue slid inside my mouth, I tried to fight for control but he easily subdued me and I melted into him. He made sure to bite my lip hard before he pulled back with a smirk.

“You’re officially ours,” he murmured.

I shivered.

“Ours to share.” Luca’s voice was velvet-smooth.

“Ours to spoil.” Matteo’s hand slid down my back.

Then smack. A sharp sting bloomed across my ass.

I yelped, eyes wide, and Matteo only grinned, squeezing the flesh in his palm.

I should have been embarrassed. But I wasn’t. I was theirs, every single inch of me and I loved it.

Matteo leaned in, his breath fanning against my ear. “Our men will take care of the body.”

His fingers trailed down my spine, teasing me in a way that made me imagine a lot of dangerous things.

“You, on the other hand…”

I swallowed hard.

He chuckled, dark and hungry. “Tonight, I’m going to wreck your body in ways you’ve never imagined.”

A shiver ran through me.

I was so, so screwed.

And I couldn’t wait.

***

The walk back to the mansion was slow— unhurried. We walked through the forest leading back to the house, the night air was cool and the smell of damp earth filled the air but all I could focus on was the heat radiating from the two men beside me.

Matteo’s fingers brushed against my lower back, deliberate and teasing, and every time I inhaled, I swore Luca was just a little bit closer.

I was caught between them. Exactly where I wanted to be.

"Can’t believe you actually did it," Matteo muttered, his voice laced with something that almost sounded like admiration.

I arched my brow. "Did you doubt me?"

He smirked. "Not doubt. Just thought you'd be a little messier about it."

Luca hummed. "Mm. Would’ve been a shame if you’d gotten blood on that pretty face of yours."

I flushed, my stomach flipping at the casual compliment.

Matteo, however, scoffed. "Shame? Please. It would’ve been hot."

Luca shot him a flat look. "Matteo, your type is literally anyone who looks like they’ve committed a felony."

I snorted. I wasn’t sure what was more surprising, the fact that Luca had cracked a joke or the way Matteo actually looked offended.

"That’s not true." Matteo folded his arms. "I have standards."

Luca smirked. "Oh? Like what?"

Matteo pointed at me. "Like him."

My breath hitched.

Luca chuckled lowly, shaking his head as he nudged me forward. "Come on, pretty boy. Let’s get you home before Matteo decides to devour you right here."

Matteo grinned, eyes glinting in the darkness. "Tempting."

I swallowed.

Very.

    The tension followed us all the way back to the mansion, clinging to my skin like a second layer. Every step through the forest felt charged, every glance from Matteo and Luca was filled with a promise of something that made my breath shudder. Matteo wasn’t subtle about it either. His hand rested low on my back, fingers playing at the waistband of my pants, teasing but never dipping lower. Every so often, he’d squeeze my hip, just hard enough to make me aware of his touch. Luca, on the other hand, was quieter in his torment, walking close enough that I could feel the ghost of his breath against my ear every time he spoke. "You're walking funny, Eli." His voice was smooth and taunting as he spoke. "Tired? Or are you already anticipating something?" My skin burned. I knew he was playing with me, but damn if it didn’t work. It always workd. Matteo chuckled, the sound was dark and wi

    We got to the wing of the house where their bedrooms were. The wing that I had been unable to enter. Luca scanned his thumb and the door slid open and we walked into the room. Wait. A room? As I looked between them I realized that they slept together. It should have been weird but instead, I found myself being jealous at the fact that they got to sleep together whilst I slept alone in my room. I had expected a room that just screamed luxury but what I was was a whole new level, it reminded me of the room in the basement. The bedroom was very big yet it still felt intimate. The walls were lined with deep, smoky gray panels, giving the space a sultry, seductive feel. A massive four-poster bed dominated the center of the room, draped in the finest black silk sheets that shimmered under the dim glow of the recessed lighting. Heavy, black curtains

    He was driving me insane. As much as I hated to admit it, that’s exactly what he was doing. Ever since he walked into our lives, I hadn’t been able to stop thinking about him. I usually liked my men soft and submissive. Except for Matteo, of course—he was a wild animal. But Eli had been putting up a hard façade from the start, one I was now determined to break. I was going to ruin him. Seeing him kneeling before me, looking up with my cock in his mouth, was both heaven and hell. I wanted to fuck him, to claim him, but I knew I had to take my time. This was probably his first time, and he needed to be prepped before he could handle both Matteo and me. Even now, as I looked at his tear streaked, flushed face, I felt a deep sense of sick satisfaction in me. I loved his tear

    Grabbing my cock, I slowly pushed it in, enjoying the way Matteo's body clenched around me, resisting the intrusion at first, trying to push me out before accepting me, just like he always did. A low groan escaped me as the tight heat wrapped around me inch by inch, the sensation so intense it nearly made me lose control and cum right there. Matteo let out a strangled moan, his grip on Eli’s throat tightening for a moment before he caught himself, loosening just enough for the other man to suck in a desperate breath. But that relief was short-lived as Matteo resumed his brutal pace, fucking Eli’s throat like he owned it again. "Fuck," I hissed, grabbing his hips as I went all the way in. "I missed this." Matteo arched his back, pressing against me, his body trembling as he adjusted to my size. He was always greedy, always desperate for more, but I knew he loved the slow burn just as much as the roughness that would inevitably come. I rolled my hips, dragging my cock almost all

    The air was still heavy with the remnants of our passion— sweat-slicked skin, the musky scent of sex and cum clinging to the sheets, and the slow, relaxed breaths of three thoroughly satisfied bodies. Eli lay tired between us, his chest rising and falling in slow, uneven breaths. Matteo had one arm draped over his waist, his fingers tracing lazy patterns on Eli’s damp skin. I leaned back against the headboard, watching them both, my own body still vibrating from the intensity of what we had just shared. What we had done. For a while, none of us spoke. The room was quiet, save for the occasional rustling of the sheets and the distant sound of the occasional guard barking orders outside. I let the silence settle, giving us all time to bask in the aftermath of everything. Then, finally, I moved. “Come here,” I murmured, reaching for Eli first. He barely reacted at first, too spent to move, so I slid my arms beneath him and pulled him onto my lap. He let out a small, sleepy no

    Pain.It wasn't the kind that faded with time.It was a deep, raw and utterly ripping kind. The type that seeped so deep into your skin then settled in your bones. The kind that alters your brain chemistry and makes you question your own sanity.That was how I felt right now, shackled in the cold, hard dimly lit basement. I had expected this, planned for this.But nothing had prepared me for them.The door creaked open and the thick scent of colony and gunpowder that could only belong to one man filtered into the room. Slow deliberate footsteps echoed against the stone floor. I didn't lift my head, I didn't need to because I already knew who it was..Luca Rossi.The man I had been sent to destroy.The man who now owned me.“Still breathing?” His voice was as smooth as silk yet as sharp as steel as it carried authority.The metal cuffs dug into my wrists, it kept digging further into my already raw wrist, blood dripping lazily down my arm. My shirt was gone as well— it had been ripped

    Blood.The smell of blood and sweat was thick in the air. I was at the underground auction house which was hot due to the packed bodies. Low murmurs could be heard coming from the dimly lit chamber outside as their victims were being paraded to be auctioned off.I was one of them.Standing there, bruised, shackled, thirsty and shirtless.My wrists were bound in thick iron cuffs that dug into my skin. There was a cut on my lip that bled and made it painful for me to lick it, a victory mark from the handler I had fought because he thought he could try to break me before that auction.A slow smirk crept up my face but I quickly wiped it away, casting my eyes down as I focused on the mission. The crowd outside were cheering. Predators, all of them.My heart pounded as it got to my turn. The auctioneer silenced the crowd with a wave of his hand then began, "Up next, we have something...special." He grinned. "Eli. He's ex-military.

    I knew a test when I saw one.And right now? I was being tested.The underground auction was successful but Luca and Matteo weren't fools. They might have bought me but they sure as hell didn't trust me.Not yet.Matteo leaves against the wall of the indoor gym, rolling up the sleeves of his shirt, revealing his toned, tattooed muscular arm and a silver bracelet that gleamed under the light.“Like what you see?” He asked, teasing.I ignored him, my eyes sliding over to Luca who sat on a sleek leather chair at the aft end of the room, watching us like a king on his throne. A glass of whiskey held in his hand as he swirled it lazily, he acted like he wasn't interested in what we were doing but I wasn't stupid.He was studying me.They both were."Fight me," Matteo said simply, cracking his knuckles.I didn’t rise to the bait. I knew what this was. A way to gauge my strength, to see if I was as dangerous as my fake backstory claimed.They thought I was a former soldier—a man who had been

    I felt my balls begin to tighten meant that I was close. I closed my eyes to sink into the pleasure as I fucked Luca's mouth and imagined my our last session with Eli.His body tied to the bed in the red room, fully surrendered to us. His cute but big dick, hard, in the air, ready for either of us. I never got to taste him that day and I wish I did.I imagined him on his knees right now with my dick in his mouth, tears streaming down his face as I fucked him relentlessly.“Eli…” with one last trust, I released deep in Luca's throat and the boss swallowed it all.I opened my eyes and looked at Eli. This was a lesson, Elias needed to understand something, I owned him now.He had infiltrated my home. My life and I had let him in. That was the part that fucked with me the most.I had started to trust him.I had started to care and maybe, just maybe there was more to his feelings. He tried to fuck me over.And now? Now he was paying for it. Luca knew exactly what to do, exactly how to push

    Elias turned to leave, his back rigid with tension, his head held high—like he still had control. Like he wasn’t already ours. I wasn’t done with him. Not even fucking close. “Stop.” He froze. His shoulders went stiff, his fingers twitching at his sides. But he didn’t turn immediately. I saw the hesitation in the way his muscles locked up, the way his breath hitched just slightly. He was debating if he should listen. I almost laughed. Like he had a choice. “Turn around,” I ordered, my voice calm but sharp. A pause. Then he obeyed, slowly turning back toward me. His eyes flicked to mine—then to Luca, who was standing beside me with an expression I couldn’t quite read. Elias didn’t speak. Good. I let him stay in the silence for a moment, watching as the tension in his body built, thick and suffocating. Then, without warning I grabbed Luca by the back of the neck and kissed him. Hard. Luca’s lips parted slightly in surprise, but he didn’t resist. He let me take control,
