Romans & histoires Iron Hands Chapter

The tears welling up in my eyes were just for the time I felt I had wasted. Seven years of my life, gone on. Wasted on someone like him. The hand reaching out to me shook just as my tears started to fall. He pressed his lips together and pulled his hand back. "I was just teasing you. It’s no big deal..." He did not get to finish his words. Nevaeh tutted twice, her face twisted with scorn.

Three of them, surrounding me, claiming me. One behind me, his chest pressed against my back, his breath hot against my neck. Another in front, his mouth trailing fire down my throat. The third watching, waiting, his presence a dark promise. "You're ours," one of them growls, and the sound vibrates through my entire body.
