Page 24 of All Your Hate
When I rush out after her, I find her on her knees in front of Luka. His hand is fisted tightly in her hair and she’s holding onto his arm with tears in her eyes.
“This is her I assume, Bones?” As he says my name, her eyes find mine, there’s both fear and confusion in them.
I want to tear him off her and break every one of his fingers, but I keep a cool head. I need him on my side. It’s not easy finding a doctor that you can trust with your dirty little secrets.
Stalking over to them, I crouch down and say, “I think I can take care of my little pet from here, doc.” A few errant tears havefallen from her eyes, probably more from the bite of pain rather than her fear. Still, she remains as defiant as ever. Luka releases his hold on her and I take over by gripping her chin. With my other hand, I catch some of her tears on my thumb and bring them to my mouth.
She scowls at me and gnashes her teeth like a feral animal. “Let me go, you freaks!”
I hope she’s this passionate when she’s on my cock.
“Are you going to be good and let the doctor examine you or do I have to tie you up first?”
“I can sedate her if necessary,” Luka chimes in, sounding oddly excited for once.
“No!” She blurts out then quietly adds, “I’ll be good, I swear.” The fire in her eyes starts to dim and I want to rile her up to ignite it again, but I’d much rather do that without Luka here.
“Get on the bed then.” Letting go of her, I stand up and offer my hand, but she bats it away, choosing to get up by herself.
She goes to sit on the bed and stares silently down at her hands in her lap.
“What do you need me for specifically?” Luka asks, distracting me from her sudden shift in mood.
“Whatever you need to do to make sure she’s clean and check if she's on birth control.” I watch her as I speak, to gauge her reactions, but if she’s feeling anything she’s hiding it well.
Luka sets his satchel down on the bed and takes out a pair of black latex gloves, tugging them on with asnap. There’s a flash of a smile on his face as she flinches.
He takes her hand and surprisingly she doesn’t put up a fight. I don’t like him touching her, but it needs to be done. He’s only a little older than me and he’s a hit with the ladies at the hospital thanks to his messy blond hair and trimmed body. She doesn’t pay him any attention though. Not like she does to me. That’s a fucking lovely boost to my ego.
As Luka checks her pulse he points out her bruises.
“They’re not my doing if that’s what you’re thinking.”
He nods along, his eyes roaming her body while still remaining professional. “I’ll give her a full checkup to make sure she’s healthy.” When he looks over the bruised band of skin on her ankle he doesn’t react. He rarely does.
I’ve known the man for years yet everything I know about him is at surface level.
“I’m right here. Are you not going to ask me if that’s what I want?” My little viper perks back up.
“No,” Luka says bluntly. “You’re not the one paying me.”
She looks up at me and scowls.There she is.
“If you told me your story already then I wouldn’t need him to do the guesswork for me.”
“I’m not on birth control.” She looks at Luka. “Can you check if I’m pregnant?”
“I’ll need to check before giving you the shot anyway.”
Pregnant?
Why would she be used for sex without protection?Surely that would have made her worthless to her previous owner. Plus Tommaso had a wife. Then again, they didn’t have any kids of their own.
Fuck. That can’t be why she was there? It had to have just been for sex.
As if she can sense my questions, she looks up at me. I know she’s trying to hide the sadness in her eyes, but it shines through and burns straight to my heart.
Luka continues to check her over and she lets him move her around like a little doll. “Lie down.” She shuffles down the bed and fixes her eyes on one spot on the ceiling.
