Serena

A wave of fear kept me on edge as I pulled out of the shadowed area, but even the mysterious man had disappeared.

My instincts were something that had kept me out of harm's way during several explosive cases, but with this one in particular, I was well aware of the horrific danger. The notion kept me peering into the rearview mirror every few seconds. There were no speeding cars, bumper huggers or massive dark SUV's with blacked out windows following me.

Still, I took another route home, forgetting about grabbing anything at the grocery store. I had enough wine and cheese for the night. That was all the sustenance I needed.

For now.

The thirty minute drive to my condo, which I was paying way too much for the sweeping views and topnotch protection, was the longest of my life. Twilight had fallen, leaving everything with an ominous appearance. At least there was a full moon cresting over the horizon.

By the time I rolled into the very secure underground garage, the entire high-rise building safeguarded by security cameras and two guards, I was close to hyperventilating. After pulling into my reserved spot, I was finally able to breathe without whimpering.

Some tough girl I turned out to be.

Still cautious, I glanced out every window before exiting my BMW, the only real luxury I'd allowed since my promotion. Other than hearing a door being slammed, the echo popping through the dense space, there were no other sounds.

There were also no creeping thugs, waiting to wrap duct tape around my mouth. Just simply a sea of expensive cars and concrete.

Fifty paces to the elevator and I could pretend the outside world didn't exist.

The ping of the elevator was made me jump and I laughed when the doors opened, revealing a cold steel and very empty box. I took a deep breath, still slapping my hand on the close button as soon as I stepped in. I was safe for Christ's sake. There was no boogeyman attempting to follow me, no monster ready to end my life.

By the time I walked out onto my floor, my keys in hand, all I could think about was opening a fresh bottle of wine. I deserved a glass or three after the day I'd had.

I locked the door behind me, lifting my middle finger before kicking off my shoes. I could wash away the wretchedness of the day and cuddle up in a blanket on the couch, finding some fabulous horror movie. A really scary one.

Chuckling, I dropped my things and immediately headed for the kitchen, flicking on the television before grabbing a bottle of wine. Another newscast. Another reminder. I glared at the screen, the ugly images of the day's court events splashing across like the circus was in town. The Channel 9 crew were recapping everything, including the man being transferred from the jail that morning. I almost dropped the wine glass as Santana looked directly into the camera.

He was staring at me, undressing me. Longing for...me.

"Jesus." I couldn't take anymore, turning off the remote before managing to open the wine. I ripped the cork into two pieces, finally shoving the second half into the bottle and pouring the glass to the rim. Several gulps did little to calm my nerves, so I took a few more, finally taking a deep breath then refilling.

The stench of the fucker was all over me, as if his fingers had managed to caress every inch of my naked body. I couldn't stand the thought, disgusted with the events of the day. Hell, the entire trial. The glass was firmly planted in my hand as I walked into the bedroom, flicking on a single light. The man's power and influence would terrify me for weeks to come. Damn it. I certainly wouldn't admit it outside of my own apartment, but I prayed to some God that Santana would be sent away for a very long time.

Another gulp. Then a second. I managed to ease the glass onto my dresser then practically ripped off my suit jacket, throwing it across the room. The pin in my hair was second and as I tossed my hair back and forth, I was able to take several choppy breaths. My fingers were fumbling so badly that I finally yanked off the last button of my ridiculously expensive silk blouse that I'd spent way too much time selecting. Not too sexy. Not too conservative. All business.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck!

The second I turned, heading for the bathroom, I heard a noise. I made my living being extremely observant and I knew without a shadow of a doubt that someone was in my condo. I twisted my head, holding in my breath as I listened. There was no other way out of the bedroom and I'd left my phone in my purse, dumped by the front door. If I was right, I was in serious trouble. Very cautiously I tiptoed toward the nightstand, grabbing the gun I'd kept hidden away for this purpose alone. Holding the weapon in both hands, I inched toward the door, darting my head into the shadows. The kitchen light was still on and there were no obvious signs that I was right.

I took another step into the living room, swinging my arms in both directions.

Click!

The bright light prevented me from seeing anything. I yelped, stumbling against the doorjamb. The pain shifting into my shoulder was no match for the terror skipping through every blood cell. "What? Who are you?" The gun was still in my hand, but other than a few mute shadows, my vision was clouded. "I have a gun. I suggest you get the hell out of here."

The dark chuckle sent shivers down my spine.

Sensual.

Knowing.

"Hello, Serena. I've been looking forward to meeting you in a more formal setting."

His deep baritone was gravelly, the kind of sensuous huskiness that every woman wanted to hear whispered into their ear. But this wasn't about seduction.

This was about murder.

"I will shoot you."

"Not without bullets," he said, laughing. "Go ahead and try."

Pointing the gun in the direction of his voice, I did just that. The hard clicking sound brought tears to my eyes. My arms slowly dropped, defeated. "What do you want?"

"You really didn't think I'd allow you to have access to a weapon?"

"Fuck you!" I jerked to the right, only to be stopped short by a massive hand wrapping all the way around my forearm. The attacker exerted little energy as he held me in place, his hot breath trickling across my cheek. I could swear I recognized the husky voice, craggy as if the man had smoked one too many cigarettes but sexy enough to create a jolt of electricity. I raked my brain, trying to remember everyone I'd encountered in the last few weeks. No one came to mind.

Seconds later, the gun was gently removed from my hand and the blinding light turned off.

"Then you're going to learn about rules, very strict rules. But first things first.""What... What do you want?" Blinking, my eyes finally adjusted to the darkness, the moonlight splashing in through the open blinds. I could just make out his silhouette, his hulking figure standing well over six inches taller than me. Even in the limited light, I was able to distinguish his massive muscles. The man was huge, outweighing me by a solid one hundred pounds. I was no match for his brawn and completely vulnerable to anything he desired.Anything."Obedience. First and foremost. We're going to begin that process immediately. Now, stay completely still while I begin.

    Serena"Now, I fuck you."The words reverberated into my mind. So possessive. So demanding. The brutal stranger believed that he had every right to treat me like some wayward whore. There was no getting away, no way to fight his incredible strength. As he dragged me into my own bedroom, marching me in a stringent military fashion, I tried not to imagine where this would lead.Imprisonment.Punishment.Death.I couldn't think this way. I needed a clear head in order to figure out how to get away from this horrible freak. When he dumped me onto the middle of my bed, I swung around, able to look him in the eyes if only for a few seconds. I recoiled after he glared, trying to catch my breath. There was no soul to the man. There was also no sense of urgency.Reacting, I scrambled off the bed, only to be yanked and tossed. The clang of the headboard slapping against the wall reverberated into the room, shadowing the ragged beating of my heart."Now, if you continue to disobey me, you will b

My God.He brushed his fingers down my back, leaning over and intoxicating me with his exotic breath of raw testosterone."Your pretty pink pussy lips tell no lies." He shifted a single finger along the seam of my pussy, taking his time.You can't want this. You can't be turned on. But the quiver in my pussy screamed of my body's betrayal.He added a second then third finger, pushing past my swollen folds, dipping into the very core of me. "Very wet."No. No. No! I couldn't be wet. I couldn't be... I dropped my head all the way, gulping for air as he swirled his finger around my clit. Everything about this was insane, surreal."Your hunger is quite evident, Serena. Give in and spread those legs wide open for me."My hesitation was met with another harsh slap, the force shoving me hard against my face. I bit back a series of whimpers, finally obeying. I stretched my legs as

    SerenaSuddenly, two men came out of nowhere, walking toward him. Excited at first, I thought they'd heard my cry, but immediately I sensed they all knew each other, the other two nodding and one of them checking their watch. It seemed the asshole had pissed them off.Aww. Too bad.I glanced from one to the other, taking in every aspect of their appearance. There were three of them. Three strapping men. There was no way I could get away from them."Took you long enough," the dark haired man said, his gaze raking over me."Had to finish some business," the blond stated in a husky manner, tugging me closer."Christ," the other man said, swearing under his breath."She's a handful," the blond said, chuckling as he looked over his shoulder."Security roams the garage. You need to just let me go and I'll see what I can do about reduced charges, if you don't, you'll wallow in a rat infest prison," While my words sounded casual, as if I didn't have a care in the world, I was freaking out.

    SerenaMine...Gasping, I opened my eyes, expecting to see Santana's scarred face looming over me, leering as he licked his lips. Instead, there was blackness. I shifted, realizing there was a blindfold wrapped tightly around my eyes. Breathe and listen. My muddled mind tried to wrap around what had occurred, fear trickling into my already shaking limbs.Don't fight. Stay still.I bit back another scream, collecting my thoughts. Scattered words filtered into my mind, male voices echoing, but I had difficulty deciphering what was being said. Nothing seemed real. I couldn't breathe or think clearly, no ability to... Oh, God. Oh, God. Very slowly a few pieces began to slip into place, remnants of instructions I'd been given. I'd been abducted by three men.Think.

    Serena"Where are we going?" I lifted my chin, trying to see anything under the blindfold. I could hear his ragged breathing and the scent of him was intoxicating, exotic in nature. As his hot breath skipped along my jaw, I quivered.He chuckled darkly then tugged on the back of my hair."Please don't!" I hated the ugly squeal in my voice."Relax. I said we're not going to hurt you," he muttered. The utter nastiness in his tone wrapping around the snide comment was directed toward the bounty hunter. I would bet on it."Unless you don't behave," the Russian expounded.I heard the hiss of disdain in the man touching me. I felt something hit my lips and I flailed, unable to stop a series of whimpers. Get control. Don't let them see you afraid."It's water. Just a bottle of water. You have to be thirsty." His voice held an air of seduction or maybe just comfort. He was damn good at the game, an attempt to get me to trust him. After taking a deep breath, I parted my lips, allowing him to p

So very bad," Anatoli breathed as he rubbed his wet mouth along the insides of my thighs, biting down on one then the other.Should I admit my sin, accept whatever punishment they had in store? I realized as I was lifted off the rug, my legs planted around Drew's waist that they had other thoughts in mind.The punishment would have to wait.Drew's smile matched his twinkling eyes, so devilish in nature and so beguiling. He held me aloft, sliding the tip of his dick across my pussy for a solid minute."Don't tease me," I whispered, gripping his shoulders."Again, you believe you're in charge. You're dead wrong," he growled then pulled me ever so slowly down onto his cock, slipping the shaft past my pussy lips. He nipped the underside of my neck, wiggling his head."Oh, God." I snapped my legs against his hips, my fingers digging into his shoulders. He was so strong, the hold keeping me in suspense, my excitement building.As he pulled me down another inch, then another, he

He wanted me on the edge, ready to erupt with multiple orgasms.His wet mouth pushed against my slit, rubbing up and down, sending a wave of dazzling sensations rocketing through my pussy. My muscles clenched then released several times, threatening to drive me into a climax immediately.I heard whispered words in Russian, the soft sounds like sweet music just seconds before he swiped his tongue from the base of my pussy to my clit.

I heard my bedraggled scream floating toward the ceiling, one climax turning into a massive wave crashing into me.There was no moment of resting, no time to adjust or think clearly. I was blinded with rapture even as strong arms dragged me from the table. Within seconds I was shoved against the wall, and lifted into the air, muscular legs holding my legs wide open. Gasping, I peered down at the man holding me—the powerful God like creature who held me aloft as if I weighed nothing.Drew.His look pure and unadulterated evil, he made several beast like sounds before pressing his entire face into my pussy."Oh... God." I slapped my hands against the wall, uncertain if I could keep my balance. Everything about this was wild and crazy, driving me to another plane altogether.

    SerenaDrew intertwined his fingers in my hair, tugging just enough to keep me in place. He remained silent as I teased, finally taking his cock into my mouth. I moved up and down on his cock, enjoying the thick veins pulsing on his shaft. His grip became firmer, his breathing more ragged and I took more of him inside."God, I want to be inside of you. I'm going to fuck you so damn hard," Drew struggled to say, every word skipping.After pulling his cock all the way out of my mouth, I licked my lips, issuing a series of husky purrs. I noticed Florian stood off to the side, stroking the base of his cock in a seductive manner, but his patience was wearing thin.I crawled ever so slowly toward him, sliding my hands up along the insides of his legs."Do you see something you hunger for, little woman?" he asked so casually, as if we had all the time in the world, but I knew better.

    Serena"Come here, Serena," Florian instructed.I heard the command from the vacuum I'd placed myself in as I continued to lean over the couch. There was no softness, no coddling of the woman who'd just been punished. After all, the camera was still rolling. How far did the mother fucker Raven want this to go? Would he turn this into some sicko porno movie? I shuddered at the thought.I also had difficulty understanding how aroused I was, the concept of humiliation more of a turn on that I could have ever imagined.Shameful girl.Wretched woman.Yes, they were both true."If I must ask you again, we'll start another round of punishment." I heard the hint of concern in Florian's voice even though he masked his tone as scorn, but I knew him more than he wanted already, the man hiding behind a mask of steel."Yes, sir," I managed as I eased around to face them. I hadn't noticed that they'd removed their clothes and the sight of them, three of the most incredible and muscular men I'd ever

    SerenaI snapped my eyes closed after seeing Florian unfasten his belt, but I imagined the way he would pull the thick leather from every belt loop. I envisioned the way he'd curl one end around his hand, leaving the strap free. Or perhaps he'd double up the ends, using the loop to create the most anguish.I took several gulping breaths but wasn't able to calm my nerves. I was terrified on one hand, exhilarated on the other and couldn't stop chastising the vile woman inside who almost craved this. I felt a warm hand caressing my skin, fingers running down my back, darting just past the folds of my pussy. "Oh!"The sound seemed to filter into the air, floating all around me. Opening my eyes, the sight of Florian was breathtaking but sent a roar of anxiety into my system. He was so commanding in his ways, so primal in his needs."You don't seem to understand that you aren't in charge of anything any longer. I told you once. You don't talk without permission. You don't leave your room wi

Growling, he allowed his hot breath to cascade across my shoulders as he slipped his finger under the material.I took several shallow breaths, realizing I'd arched my back, forcing my lips to press against Drew's. I could taste the bourbon as he darted his tongue across the seam of my mouth. His grip firm, he held me in place as he inhaled, issuing the most barbaric sound under his breath.Florian eased the slender strap of my dress down one shoulder, pressing his lips against my neck. He licked up and down, taking his time as he lowered the other side. Within seconds, gravity allowed the silky material to slide to the floor, pooling around my feet.I could hear Toli' heavy breathing as he inched even closer. Reaching out, he swirled the tip of his finger around my already taut nipple, going around and around in circles, driving me to the point of madness.I was on fire, my muscles tensing, da

I'd never felt so terribly alone and utterly frozen to the bone.I would have no way of finding out the truth about Anatoli or his story but I'd heard some of the best liars in the world.He wasn't lying.His despair was significant, haunting in a way that had carved out almost every inch of his humanity. He'd simply come along for the ride. A single tear trickled down the side of my face. Everyone had reasons for allowing the demons to take over. I'd been trying to fight them for so long, I'd forgotten that all I was doing was running from them and I was nothing but a shell because of it.I closed my eyes, envisioning Florian. How could a man like Anatoli understand or embrace the concept of love any longer? I gazed back at the stars, wanting nothing more than for answers to suddenly float into my mind.

His words were merely scattered whispers. I could swear he'd read my mind, the anger directed toward all of them."I guess some more than others. You made me a part of this, all three of you, when you abducted me against my will."He nodded, glancing over my shoulder. "Yes.
