I know we pushed her, and hell, I am surprised it took her a week to fight back. But she still looks defeated. Maybe we did it the wrong way and should have tried something else?“I’m sorry, Emmi, we just didn’t want you to lose who you were. That fighter, the one with fire in her eyes. Don’t lose that side of you.” My hands wash across her skin.“I honestly thought you all hated me. Dante telling me I’m just another whore, Bear telling me I’m just like every other woman. You all calling me Princess, Gunner telling me I’m nothing more than a toy he is bored of.” Her head falls forward.“And me, I told you that you weren’t worthy for any man to touch.” I didn’t mean it. I had been arguing with Dante, pleading that he let us stop. That we just tell her. She was there and crying, and I felt like I had to cuddle her. So, I spoke to make her run from me. Then after I felt like a jerk and beat the crap out of men in the club to try to release that feeling.“I don’t know what to believe anym
I watch as Zane storms to his room, the door slamming as he does.“Think about this, Dante. If she does it, yes, she fucks us over. Killing her, though, is that really the right choice? Especially when it is clear she is helping Zane.” I agree it is fucked up, but to do that when Zane seems to be attached.“So what? We just forgive her and leave her living here? Pretend what she did meant nothing?” Dante asks.“No, I’m not saying that. Make her see, do something, I don’t know. Let’s see what she does with her mum next time she’s here. If she tells her, then I don’t know, punish her if you must, but make her aware she can’t stay here if she’s going to do it. Hell, tell her the truth about her mum! She’s fighting for someone who doesn’t even fucking care, and you’re being a jerk and helping.” Turning, I walk away. I tried staying calm. I know, though, this isn’t Emmi’s fault. This is her family.All of them, she is fighting to get back home, get freedom, and save her family without know
Today with my mum ended badly. I was so sure these guys were genuine, but if they were, why lock me up? Why not let me have freedom? They say it is to keep me safe but how safe is it really? They seemed to want to protect me from those guys, from that plan. Somewhere though, they still don’t want me here. I see it in Dante’s eyes. He still looks at me like he’s waiting for something.I feel like he’s waiting for the day I disappear, and he no longer has the burden of me. I know they didn’t want to marry me or have this burden. I thought I was doing well, then she mentioned Jamie, mentioned lying about them. I feel like I should fight my mum, but if I do, then what? I don’t even know. But hiding away won’t help. I need a drink, something to settle my mind. I feel awful. I should never have told her those things.“Killing her. Hell, even sending her back to her mum knowing her mum wants her dead and planned everything makes you worse.” I hear Bear’s words and a gasp escapes my mouth. My
I watch as Dante grabs her neck. Then, pulling her back in, he slams her into the chair. I jump up immediately.“Dante!” He can’t do this.“Fuck you!” she screams, spitting into his face.“Oh, you will wish I am soon, trust me.” He turns to look at us. “Get out.”Hell, I want to refuse, but that will start another argument. I look from him to her.“I said she wouldn’t die, and she won’t, out.”I feel her eyes on me, almost begging me to stay, but I simply nod and walk out. I know he won’t hurt her, not really anyway. Once I’m alone in my room, I sit back onto the bed, grab my laptop, and begin to work.I may as well work, I think, and I manage to focus until I hear a scream. Glancing to the door, I consider going to see her. But I decide otherwise and put on music as I continue. Working, though, isn’t easy. I glance towards the clock. It’s been two hours. As I leave my room, I hear a small scream, followed by a cry.But once I see her, my eyes widen. Somehow, she likes it. I shake my
“So, the plan for going forward?” Gunner looks all too excited right now.“We keep her safe, make sure she can’t be taken. Strengthen everything around us, more guards, more watching, everything. Then we wait. We have proof of what her family’s plan was, but again, we can’t take action when it’s their own family they are doing it too, not ours,” Dante explains.“You’re joking, right? She is our family; she took the shit you gave her last night. She chose us,” I insist.“Let’s wait and see. You and Bear are getting attached too fucking quickly! She chose us, yes, because she had no other option. Do you really think she would if we gave her a card and a pass to get out of our city? No, she would take it and fucking run.”“She wouldn’t. I know she wouldn’t.” Bear looks at Dante.“Let’s just forget Emmi for now, please. Give it a few days, then we will see. Right now, someone needs to let Dean know, catch him up on everything. Gunner and I will go around and try to find out who these new
Inside my room, I see a note with a box under it. The note simply says, ‘wear me’. I feel like rolling my eyes, but I won’t. I hear the door opening and when I turn, Zane is standing there, looking at me.“Did I hurt you?”Wait. I stare at him, shocked. “No, Zane, you didn’t hurt me, I swear.”I try and smile at him, but he just says “okay,” and walks away. He didn’t hurt me. I only cried because for a moment, I actually thought he was going to fuck me, then he stopped again.I take a shower and put on the dress from the box laid out for me. I smile down at it; it’s beautiful. Long and white, with a V-neck that plunges down far too low, but if they want men staring, then so be it. I can’t wear a bra because the back is also revealed. I laugh slightly as I put on the shoes and walk out. I watch as Bear, Gunner and Dante turn and stare at me.“Now, that’s hot and worth fucking.” Bear smiles at me as I roll my eyes.“Sit, sugar,” Dante says. I nod and do as he says.“I’m in trouble, aren
She stands before me, shaking slightly, but her eyes are still wide and bright.“Fuck me.” Her words are stern and make me laugh. “I mean it! If you don’t fuck me, then I swear I will go out there and fuck your guards. No more saying no, just do it.” She pushes herself against me, a moan escaping her mouth as she does.“Emmi.” How the hell can I keep saying no?“Please, you told me to choose. I choose now, I choose you. You said no to all of you, so you, I choose you to fuck me first.” Her body pushes against mine. Turning with her in my arms, I push her down onto the bed. I climb onto her as my mouth captures hers, the kiss starting slow and soft before it becomes aggressive, both of us fighting each other to dominate the kiss, my mouth swallowing and muffling her moans. Without breaking the kiss, I pull her dress, tearing it open.Glancing down, I smile. “I fucking love peepholes.” I grab her nipple and pull, causing her to cry out slightly. Her legs wrap around my waist, and I feel
When I wake, the first thing I see is Emmi, asleep and wrapped around me. I need to get information today on who tried shooting her. Moving carefully, I peel back the blanket, then stop. There’s blood. Why is there blood? I try to remember last night, but even when I woke hours ago, there wasn’t blood. Then I remember. It’s been a month, a month since she came.I get out of bed, shower, and get dressed before running her a bath. When I return, I lean over her and kiss her. I watch as she wakes and looks at me.“Morning.” Her voice is quiet as she smiles at me.“Morning. I ran you a bath.” I sit next to her, and she looks at me, confused. “You started bleeding; you get in the bath. After that, I will sort the bed.” I kiss her lips but when I pull back, I see the panic in her eyes. Maybe I should have just left and acted like I didn’t notice? “Don’t panic. Go get in the bath and let us know if you want anything.” But she just keeps scaring at me. Okay, maybe I should leave?I step out a
