“She’s long-term,” Ares notes.Long-term… meaning they won’t discard me so quickly.“We don’t have the intention of replacing her.”
“Oh, really?” Moonshine arches an eyebrow my way. “That’s not what Domino said.”
“And what did he say?” Zander pitches in. “Or, more importantly, when did he say it?”
I’m intrigued by how Zander worded his question.
“Well, he said his Maiden is but a chosen slut, handpicked to appease every fucked-up need he carries without a hint of resistance from the bitch.” His smile that follows makes him look more frightening with the low ambiance of this place. “If that was true, I was going to ask to borrow the stubborn beauty.”
Stubborn?
I pout my lips at that. If I was so invaluable, why would he need to borrow me?
“And when?” Zander presses.
Moonshine shrugs.
“A while ago. Does time matter?”
“It does,” Zander notes, his hand absentmindedly playing with my curly locks. “You, of all people, should know how important the time and place are within our little secret society.”
Little secret society…
“Why would you want to borrow her?” Ares questions, his voice as hardened as ever.
“Figured if she’s as useless as she is, I could get her to appease a few of the special guests,” he announces while his eyes are back on me. There’s an odd, sickening look in his eyes. It makes my stomach flip in disgust. “Could be helpful in openingsome connections if you ask me. I think you guys would need it, seeing as you’re rather imbalanced when you look at assets. Makes you Ruthless Kings of Carnage less… hmm. What’s the word?”
He purposely takes a moment to think about it.
“Less daunting,” he concludes and shrugs. “You certainly aren’t leaving people trembling and fearing for their lives. Anyone can make a move and steal what’s in your grasp without batting an eye.”
I’m not sure if this conversation is made to be more condescending than productive, but it’s clear this man is either here to acquire me—the useless stubborn slut Maiden—or he just wants to belittle my Kings for a magnitude of hidden reasons.
“A shame, but alas. That’s what happens when your fearsome leader is more focused on the pucks he scores on the ice and used pussy.” He tsks with a shake of his head. “So, why not offer the Maiden to someone who can put her to good use aside from flaunting at parties? She ain’t going anywhere.”
I lift my gaze to look past Moonshine, acknowledging the familiar, angered voice of our ruthless leader in question.
Yet, he’s with someone that doesn’t deserve to be next to him.
“Moonshine? Why are you even here?” Scarlett announces. “Didn’t think they invited sexual offenders, but I guess there are no babies around, so you can stay put for now.”
Why is he with Scarlett?
There’s this need to be a defiant bitch in this moment, but I don’t like the vibe Moonshine is giving. It’s dangerous.Cunning?Leaves me feeling far too concerned that he’s planning something.
An uneasy uncertainty.
“Surprised our standards include slutty hoes who enjoy sleeping with half of the royal student body, but heck. Theseparties don’t have many standards for women, anyway. Most of you are only here because of the value of your pussies and not the value of power and money you bring to the table,” Moonshine casually counters.
The stare-off these three are having makes me itch to be somewhere else.
Anywhere but here, an object of desire they need for only tonight.
“I’m going to the restroom,” I declare to Zander quietly enough that I’m confident only he and Ares probably heard me. Zander gives me a look but doesn’t stop me when I uncross my legs and stand up.
My body already craves the warmth Zander brought, but I force my legs to work while I don’t wait for Domino, Moonshine, or that bitch, Scarlett, to comment before I’m away from the group and looking for the restroom.
I hate this.
