“Knife Master. That would turn him on real quick,” Ares whispers but leans over to give a suck on V’s lollipop. She watches every movement, even when he plops his mouth off the round candy and proceeds to lick it with his tongue in a sensually enticing way.

V studies him like a hawk seconds from catching its prey.

“Next time, it’ll be my face between your legs, enjoying how your tight hot pussy chokes my tongue with your venomous grip.”

She’s flushed for far different reasons while she returns to quietly sucking on the lollipop.

“Now we’re even,” Ares announces. “Once we sign the contract, it’s a new, clean slate.”

She slowly nods, but her eyes sparkle for a second.

As though she’s remembered something.

“Where is Warren?” she inquires. “I left him behind, so maybe he didn’t come after me, but if he’s your brother, he’d be nearby, yes?”

“Don’t get why that’s an assumption,” Ares admits, but there’s no ill intention with his commentary. “As for my brother, he’s busy working.”

“Right.” For a second, I catch the hint of deflating hope in her figure, but it’s gone just as fast. “Then I can have my power nap.”

“I guess you can after the lollipop,” Ares encourages.

Despite those words, it’s not long before Verena is dozing off, the lollipop in the corner of her mouth.

Ares notices and doesn’t hesitate to remove the candy that’s already half-done. Popping into his mouth, he cringes at the taste.

“Sweet as fuck.”

Sweeter than usual for a specific reason.

Staring at the way Ares admires her from head to toe, I’m tempted to come out from my hiding spot.

“Best you find a good place in the living room to play ‘I Spy,’ Brother.”

The cat is out of the bag, but I remain in place, knowing he can’t move, anyway. Not with V managing to snuggle against him with little effort.

“Not sure if Domino is going to let you stay around, so start speaking tongues if you wish to keep your job,” Ares encourages.As if I’m a prayer person.“Guess we’ll find out in a few hours.”

He proceeds to look at V, who is sound asleep.

“You’re going to be a thorn that makes the world bleed in vengeance.”

Whether he’s directing his words to me, Verena, or the Universe itself, I believe his words. Verena is going to be a thorn that will leave many offering their blood in exchange for loyaltywhen it comes to securing their survival in this oppressive era of carnage.

Secretly, I can’t wait to witness it with my own eyes.

For the sake of V’s freedom.

THE RULES OF THE GAME

~GEMINI~

“Whose shirt is this?”

“Domino’s.”

I pause on the steps, my arms already crossed over my breasts, so my hard nipples will stop poking against the extremely thin fabric. This isn’t the attire I wanted to confront three ruthless sickos and sign my rights away until this ‘arrangement’ is fulfilled to satisfaction.
