“I spent months with you taking control and now it’s my turn.” I frown in confusion because she surely can’t mean that she’s going to . . . “Oh, don’t pretend you don’t want me to fuck your brains out, Cree. We both know we had something special.”
“Christ, you’re being serious right now,” I mutter, shaking my head. “I can’t stand you! What makes you think I want you anywhere near me?”
She steps between my legs and runs her nail along my shoulder. “Don’t make me gag you,” she warns. She runs her hand along my arm and I flinch as she moves it across my chest. “I waited so long to touch you,” she whispers. Her hand eventually grips my cock. It begins to get hard despite me trying everything to deflate the fucker. “Don’t fight it. I gave you enough Viagra to keep you up for hours.”
I use my head to try and shove her away from me. It’s useless, and she slaps me hard across the face. “We have a fucking audience, now play nice,” she hisses in my ear. I glance at the glass screen and have no doubt her dirty fuck husband is behind there getting off on this bullshit.
Eva
My cell buzzes and I snatch it from the table. I’ve spent the last hour curled up under a blanket on the couch with Anna, Mum, and Frankie offering words of reassurance. It’s a video, and I glance at Anna. “What is it?” she asks, leaning closer.
My finger shakes as I press play. It’s Michelle sitting astride Cree, fucking him. A sob escapes my lips, and Anna takes the cell from me and runs into church to show the guys. Mum wraps me in her arms. “She was touching him,” I sob. “He hates being touched.” It seems such a silly thing to focus on given the nature of the video, but I know out of everything, that will hurt him the most. I pray the same thing isn’t happening to Emily.
The brothers file out of church and head outside. Riggs stops by the couch and gives me a sad smile. “We’re heading out to the house to see if that’s where they’re holding him. I’ll call when we have him.” I nod, grateful that something is finally happening because sitting around waiting seemed pointless. “If you hear anything else, call me.”
Cree
I stare at the small hole on the ground in front of me. It’s all I can focus on right now to stop me from vomiting my insides all over the floor. A television was brought in after Michelle left and porn is playing on the screen. The sounds of women’s cries fill the room. It’s been playing for at least two hours now and I’m ready to pull my own ears off just so I don’t have to hear the sound of another orgasm. Riggs will laugh when I tell him about this because surely every man’s dream is to watch porn for hours on end. I glance over at the dark glass window. Every so often, I hear a door click closed and I think someone is in that room watching.
Eva enters my mind and I shut it down straight away. I can’t think about her now. I can’t afford to break when they’re watching me, so I channel my inner soldier. The training was intense, but it was for situations like this, hostage situations. I pull at my hands again. I’m still so cold, and I’m hoping the swelling caused by the tightness of the pull cords will shrink my hands enough to get them free. I can’t feel them, and maybe that will be a blessing. If I pull hard enough, they may just rip free. I can repair the damage when I get out of here.
Eva
I jump up when the Kings return less than an hour later. Riggs shakes his head sadly at me and goes straight to his office, slamming the door. “What does that mean?” I yell after him.
Chains comes towards me. “He wasn’t there. The house is empty. No sign of anyone or anything ever being there.”
“But I was there just last week. It was full of furniture and people. There was a butler,” I say.
“Well, they’re all gone now. I guess they realised too many people knew about the place. We’re not giving up hope, Eva. We have people out there looking.”
“Callum will tell me. Let me arrange to meet him and . . . ” I begin, but Riggs marches from his office and storms towards me with an angry expression.
“No!” he yells. “Don’t you dare do anything to put yourself or my VP in danger!”
“Riggs, she has a point,” says Anna softly, and his anger is swiftly turned on her.
“Because you know how to deal with these situations, right?” he says sarcastically. “I mean, last time things ended up so well for you.”
Anna bites her lower lip, I guess to stop from yelling back at him. Instead, she takes a deep breath and stares right at him. “I know you’re upset right now, so I’m gonna let that go, but don’t ever fucking talk to me like that again!” Then she storms out of the room, slamming the door on her way out.
Riggs stares at the closed door. “We can do it your way,” I try again. “You tell me exactly what to text, everything just the way you want. It might be our only way to get him back.”
Riggs nods to Chains, then heads to his office. “Come on,” says Chains, taking me by the hand and leading me towards the office. It means he’s considering my suggestion, which is good because I was fully prepared to walk outta here and go it alone.
“We know Callum wants me.
