While the hot water washed over me, I imagined carving my name in Clover’s soft skin. Right across her body beneath her tits. The tip of my blade etching into her tender flesh. Leaving part of me behind forever.
My cock hardened as my mind ran away with me. I wrapped a hand around it as I thought about roughly fucking Clover’s tight ass until she screamed. My hand jerked up and down, my imagination taking over.
She would serve me like the little whore that she was. On her knees. With her ass in the air. Every possible way I could think of.
As my fantasies gripped me, my hand moved faster on my cock. My balls tightened moments before spilling a satisfying load of cum. I watched it wash down the drain with my chest heaving. All I wanted was to go after Clover now and drag her back here where she belonged.
It killed me to have to wait, but the wait would be worth it.
CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR
CLOVER
Try as I might to focus on the professor’s lecture, my mind was all over the place. It was a miracle that I’d been getting my class assignments done. Of course, that was only because it kept me from staring out the window replaying the moment I shot Daire in the face with pepper spray.
I couldn’t believe that happened. He’d deserved it though. When I told Raina about it, she’d insisted that I have one of her dad’s mob guys follow me around to watch my back. I didn’t enjoy having a man packing a gun accompanying me everywhere. My life was starting to feel like a bad movie.
Blaze had sent me a text message the night that it happened. All it had said was: This is far from over.
I’d spent the rest of the night in a fitful attempt to sleep. Dark circles had started to form under my eyes. Raina suggested that I drop my summer classes and take them again in the fall after this all blew over. I’d come so far already that I didn’t want to take that route. It would be letting the Angels win.
This time when I left class, I didn’t worry about being stalked through the halls or jumped in the parking lot. A tall, burly man waited outside my classroom. He gave me a nod before falling into step beside me. We didn’t talk, choosing not to engage in fake small talk for the sake of it.
Jericho followed me from class to class, waiting outside each one until I’d finished for the day. He drew a few stares from those who exited the classroom with me after my final class. He wasn’t exactly inconspicuous.
“I’m done now,” I said, turning in the direction of the parking lot. “Do you need to stop anywhere on the way back to the house?”
“Nope.” Jericho was a man of few words.
We walked in awkward silence as we left the building. Instead of driving my own car, which was blue and easy to spot, we’d driven in Raina’s SUV. Hopefully the Angels wouldn’t be watching for that. I hadn’t seen them in a few days. I was torn on how to feel about that.
I suspected that I was deeply disturbed since part of me wanted to see them again. I tried not to talk about it much, although Raina had been asking. Like she knew what I was hiding.
Jericho and I were halfway to the SUV when Cash appeared like a ghost taking form. He seemed to materialize from beside a van, stepping out behind us. It all happened so fast as he grabbed Jericho from behind, putting him in a sleeper hold. My bodyguard was out cold in seconds.
Before I could gather my wits and run for it, Daire emerged from where he’d been lurking next to a beat up Jeep. He placed a hand over my mouth, wrapping his other arm around me. While Cash dragged Jericho in behind the van, Daire pulled me tight against his body.
“Where’s your pepper spray, Angel?” Daire hissed into my ear. “Looks like your buddy there was the wrong choice for this job. I’d never have let anyone get this close to you.”
Daire’s blacked out Audi rolled up beside us with Blaze in the driver’s seat. Daire flung open the back door and shoved me in. Cash quickly joined us. Then we were speeding out of the parking lot, leaving Jericho behind.
“Why are you doing this?” I blurted when Daire removed his hand from my mouth. “Why won’t you let me go?”
Grabbing me by the throat, Daire slammed me back against the seat. “God, you smell good. I almost forgot how fucking good. Did you forget that you belong to us, my sweet? Did you really expect us to forget?”
He choked off my airflow until my face reddened and I thought I might pass out. Once I could breathe again, I gasped, “You guys aren’t good for me. I don’t want to be your obsession.”
Daire’s lips twisted into a menacing grin. “Too late. You made a big mistake by selling us out. Your punishment will be a thing of beauty.”
My pulse pounded at the thought of what they might do to me. This had been a risk I’d known I was taking. Some naïve part of me had hoped they’d give up on me and move on to a new interest. And yet, deep down inside, I felt relief that they’d come for me.
I squeezed my eyes shut, unwilling to let him see the truth within. “It doesn’t have to be this way. Let me go. You know that Raina and the Gods will come for me.”
“That’s what you think,” Cash chuckled. “They won’t come anywhere near us if they want to keep you safe.”
My eyes flew open. “What is that supposed to mean?”
“It means that I’ve already messaged Raina telling her that if they try to come for you, we kill you. As long as they stay away, you live.” Cash waved his phone in my face. “You messed up, Sunshine. Now you have to pay the price.”
