I rush home. I know Emmi will be fine, she has six more guys with her. I step inside and stop. Everyone is looking at me. “You’re alive.” Dante hugs me, but he looks a mess mentally. I glance at Bear, but he is hiding his face. “Yeah, how are you three?” I look between them. “Nothing that won’t heal with time.” His words are quiet as he glances at Bear. “He’s a mess. He feels more embarrassed than anything, though, with Emmi seeing him like this.” I nod and walk further in. “Where’s Emmi?” Gunner asks. He looks a mess as well. “Clearing up. She’ll be fine. I left six guys with her,” I say as I fall onto the sofa. “This is all her fault. She told her fucking mum everything,” Gunner states, and I nod. “Which she will regret,” Bear whispers and I want to ask how he is, but I know right now asking him won’t help. In his mind, he will want drugs, but he is fighting it. Sitting together, we discuss the way forward, but my mind keeps going to Emmi. “She will be fine,” Dante says. “Y

I wake up in bed with Zane wrapped around me, even though I told him to stay away. Right now, Dante hates me. They all do, and Zane cuddling me won’t help. I try to move, but his hands grasp me tighter. Wiggling free, I climb from the bed. I step across the room, grab out some clothes and pick up a book.Opening it, I sit on the floor and look at the pictures of us all. Me, Jamie, my parents. I feel the tears fill my eyes as I look through them. Jamie was so nice. I remember he was always there for me. Until we were about thirteen. Then he wasn’t. Every year it got worse. Then my father died, and things became more toxic.I look at the picture of us together as babies. Then to my parents, thinking about how they would rather have a child who isn’t theirs and hurt their real child. My head falls forward as I cry. I was destined for death. From the moment they knew I was a girl, I was never meant to live. Their plan always had been to ensure they were released from the burden of me. I f

“Please, please, Bear.” I try to wrap my legs around him.“You’re so fucking needy, even now after my brothers have fucked you. You want my cock, little lamb, but you haven’t earned it yet.” He moves a finger, pushing it into my sex. My hips push upwards against his hand.“Please.” I watch as his eyes glance down to where his finger is. His eyes watching as his other hand opens my lips to give him a better look as he thrusts a second finger inside.“Are you going to take my cock as eagerly as you’re taking my fingers, dirty little lamb?” I moan and nod. “Are you my dirty girl, little lamb? Mine to fuck as I want?” His thumb rolls over my clit, making me cry slightly.“Yes, Daddy.” I watch as his body tenses, his eyes on mine.“Watch what I’m doing, little lamb, watch how prettily you open up for my fingers and cover them in those sweet juices.” My eyes go to where his hand is, watching as his fingers move. “That’s right, watch your Daddy fuck you like this, prove what a dirty little s

I walk out ready and watch as they all stand and stare, their eyes roaming my body. “I think I look pretty fucking hot.” I smile at them. I’m wearing a skirt suit, almost like a mafia boss queen. It looks impressive, to be honest.“Hot, sexy, maybe, a distraction, yes. Why that? You always wore dresses.” Zane points to my body.“As much as I don’t mind getting blood on dresses, I thought this look was more appealing and would stop men staring.” I turn and smile. “With the added bonus of…” I move and lean forward, my hand lifting my skirt, slowly showing my legs. Wrapped around each is a brace with daggers attached.“Fuck me, can we leave?” Bears eyes are fixed on me as I release my skirt and let it fall.“Yes, let’s go.” I smile and follow them out.“List of names. These are people we need.” Dante hands it to me. Looking at him, confused, I nod. “We need you, sugar. Think about the people. Where are they likely to be? Then you go in and confirm they are there.”“Wait, you want my help

The door opens, and Dante looks at us, then relaxes.“Everything good?” He looks at me.“Yeah, can we just pretend all that didn’t happen?” I want to forget it.“Sure, Juliet won’t try that shit again.” Gunner grins and pulls me out.“So, what, we pretend you walked out of her office, and nothing happened?” Dante looks at me, and I nod.I feel someone's hand on my lower back.“Nice work telling her the rules, little lamb. Do you want the play later?”I laugh at Bears words, grateful he is playing along and pretending shit didn’t happen. We reach the car. “I don’t think you can handle it, Daddy.” His eyes widen as I climb into the car, and Gunner sits next to me.“Okay, Dean’s place next.” I look towards them. His soft smile is trying to calm me, and I know he will talk to Zane and find out what happened. For now, I will forget it, as best as I can.“Okay, Dean’s place next.” I look towards them.“You realise this will be a fight, right?” I look at them. “Last time I walked in there, t
