I force myself to put one foot in front of the other and walk away from Akim towards the cabinet of supplies in the corner. I unlock it and reveal a wall of chains, blades, and bats, some still caked in drying blood left over from the men who’ve occupied that chair before Akim.
“I had them strip her while she was still wearing the hood.” His words come a little faster. He’s scared, even if he won’t show it. “I didn’t even need to see her face to understand what you saw in her. I mean, she’s built to be fucked. She has the kind of body a man can grab hold of, you know?”
Just the thought of Akim touching Luna at all has my hand shifting from a knife towards a bat studded with rusted nails.
“Then they took off her hood.” He groans, a low sound deep in his throat. “That face. That mouth. If I’d had just a liiittle more time, I would have wrapped those lips around my cock.”
My knuckles strain as I grip the handle of the bat. I turn to face him again. “I know what you’re doing.”
“I’m tied up in a warehouse in the middle of nowhere. What could I possibly be doing?”
He’s trying to make me kill him quickly. Akim is smart enough to know he isn’t getting out of this room alive. The best outcome for him is for it to be over fast. He wants to piss me off so I lose control.
He smirks, but his eyes shift nervously to the bat in my hands. “Since I won’t get the dignity of having any last words passed along to the people closest to me, I’m sure you won’t deny me my final fantasy.”
“I don’t give a fuck about your dignity,” I growl. “I care even less about your fantasies. I’m about to deny you your life.”
“Funny,” he chuckles. “Luna didn’t deny me anything. I’m not sure what she told you, but?—”
“She told me the truth,” I grit out.
No one touched her. She swore it. The man I saw in her bed was the first and only time someone went into her cell.
Yet Akim grins. “Then you already know that I couldn’t help myself. I had to taste her. If she’s good enough to turn Yakov Kulikov’s head, I needed to know what was so special. Believe me, I understand now.”
“Bullshit.”
He frowns. “So she didn’t tell you the truth, then? She must have lied if you don’t know what I’m talking about. Because I fucked your woman for hours, Yakov.”
My blood is pumping. My hand shakes around the bat. “You couldn’t keep it up that long if your life depended on it.”
“She spread those long legs for me. She wanted it,” he hisses, ignoring me. “Maybe not at first, I’ll admit. But as soon as my cock was inside her—Well, I was glad for the extra soundproofing up there, I’ll tell you that. She howled for me.”
“You’re going to go down with this ship, aren’t you?” I shake my head. “All of this for a little revenge? Revenge for revenge, actually. Two steps removed. You went after Luna to get back at me for killing your father after your father killed mine. Do you hear how that sounds? It’s insane.”
Akim tips his head back, his throat bobbing as he moans. “She felt so good clenched around me. I can’t remember the last time I felt a cunt that tight. Is that why you fought your way through my men for her? Because if so, I understand. That’s a pussy worth dying for.”
I let a long breath rattle between my teeth. “You’re going to die because you couldn’t leave well enough alone. You could have let me have my revenge and move on. Eye for an eye. Score settled. I never would have looked at you again. Instead… here we are.”
Akim meets my eyes. He’s hearing every word I say; I know he is. He just refuses to admit it.
“She cried for you when I first locked her up. But by the end, she was crying for me.” He gyrates his hips, the metal chair legs straining against the bolts on the floor. His voice goes high-pitched. “‘Oh, Akim. Harder, Akim. Like that, Akim. No one has ever fucked me this good, Akim.’”
It’s all lies. It never happened. Akim never touched her.
But he wanted to.
If I hadn’t shown up when I did, he would have. After his soldier finished with her.
Who knows how many men Akim would have let into that room? The kind of torture he would have rained down on Luna just to get even with me?
My vision is going dark on the edges. It’s tunneling, narrowing until Akim is the only thing I can see.
“I would have let her choke on me if you hadn’t shown up,” he continues. “I would have fucked your woman until she couldn’t take another second. Until she split in fucking half. Then I would have sent her pieces back to you in a coffin. She could have joined your brother. Last I heard, things aren’t looking good for?—”
The bat smashes against Akim’s face before he can finish.
One of the nails punches through his eye. The others drive into his cheek, his temple. Blood pours down his face. He isn’t smiling anymore.
