JUDE POV I must love torturing myself because the way Ella looks tonight is giving me major blue balls. I’ve never met anyone, not even Beth, that could cause me to have to readjust myself multiple times a day, but little miss innocent does it to me daily. Tonight is my fault, though, I should have put her in a burlap sack for the evening, but I think she would have figured out a way to make even that look sexy as fuck. I act the perfect gentleman, helping her out of the limo that I rented for the night. I wanted to make it look like we belong, arriving in style like everyone else, and I was right, all the guests are arriving in limos or town cars. I even try soothing her nerves when I see her tense up as soon as she sees that they are scanning the invites. I don’t hire amateurs, they do it right or they don’t do it at all. When she slips her hand into mine as we walk down the hall, my heart skips a beat. I’ve never been one to show PDA, not unless I’m fucking someone in a kink club

JACE POV Moving from the living room floor to the kitchen island, and then finally to the playroom, Ella gets fucked every which way. Not one hole gets unused by the time we crash together on the big bed. Jude was like a rabid animal who couldn’t get enough of Ella, but I know the feeling. Ella is just fucking perfect. I actually end up doing after care on both Ella and the big bad Dominant that I call my friend. Now that I think back on it, I should have recorded his ass at the end. He didn’t hit subspace like Ella did, but he was almost there. I leave them sleep as I get up and shower before heading out to the kitchen to make breakfast. I’m scrolling through news headlines when I come across one about the mayor’s party. I start reading it, a grin creeping up slowly the longer I continue. “Yes! That fucking bitch finally got it coming to her!” I say out loud. “What are you all excited about?” Jude grumbles as he makes his way to the coffee pot. “Seems daddy Jacobs has disowned h

JACE POV Jude is in too much shock to move, so I rush over to Beth and crouch down beside her. I feel for a pulse at her neck and right away I know that she is still with us because her skin is still warm to the touch. That’s when I feel it, it’s faint, but it’s still there. “She’s alive Jude, but we need to get her to the hospital soon.” I turn her all the way onto her back, and I’m shocked to see the condition that she is in. Aside from a gash near her eye and a split lip, she looks better than I thought she would after seeing all the blood on Elise. It isn’t until I look down and see all the dried blood between her thighs that I figure out where it all came from. My eyes sweep around the area and find what I was looking for before closing my eyes and cursing. Those fuckers used anything they could find with a handle and used it to sexually assault Beth. I see movement coming my way and I swing around as I stand up. “No, don’t! You don’t want to see her like this. Go call an ambu

JUDE POV “Jude.” I stand in the doorway staring at the woman that I have spent the last few years loving, waiting for her to look up and see me. When she finally turns my way, my name is the only thing that falls from her lips. She looks much better than what she did when we found her, but I’m more worried about her mental state at this point. “Beth, I’m glad to see you up and talking.” I move closer to the bed and take a seat in the same chair that I assume Ella sat in, “Ella told me what you told her. Thank you for putting her mind to rest about her sister.” “Why wouldn’t I? I don’t hate Ella, I never have. That girl is hard to dislike,” she chuckles, “I was only jealous over the attention you were showing her, but that’s on me.” Her fingers play with a loose thread on the comforter, and she turns her head to watch them, “I was feeling guilty because what I was doing with Craig.” I nod but my jaw still clenches at the reminder of her time with her boss, “I’m not here to talk abo

I can’t look, my heart is breaking for my baby sister! I can’t save her from what is about to happen. The fact that both Mason and his sister is this sadistic is unfathomable to me. They need to be stopped! How is my sister going to come out of this mentally and emotionally, she’s still just a kid? A crashing noise breaks through my thoughts, and I whip my head around just in time to see Jude’s two friends tackling both twins. I don’t know when he left but Jude enters the room behind everyone and goes straight to my sister. Chaos fills the room as Mason tries to fight off the guy on top of him. Once he checks on Elise, Jude comes over to the window and opens it before going back to the bed and lifting my sister up and bringing her small beaten body over to us. I gasp at the sight of her, but I remember what Jace told me, and I get hold of myself, so I can help grab her and pull her out the window. Just as Jude releases my sister, though, a shot rings out and I hear him grunt hard bef
