The thing’s deep enough that the entire upper half of her body hangs dangerously over the water now, her face hovering only inches above the surface every time another violent cough shakes through her. One wrong movement and she’ll fall headfirst right back into it.
Perfect.
Her ass and legs hang off the side facing me while the upper half of her body stays bent over the barrel, trembling arms barely managing to hold some of her weight against the slippery metal edge. She looks completely fucking ruined. Like somebody snapped her in half and left the pieces there.
But it still doesn’t satisfy whatever’s broken inside me. Not even fucking close. Because in the short amount of time we have left, I wanna make sure she regrets every single second she spent making Reed’s life a living hell. I want her to feel exactly what he felt.
Helpless.
Humiliated.
Broken down until there’s barely anything left inside her anymore.
The memories hit all at once, vile enough to make something twist violently inside my chest while I remain fixed on her soaked body slumped over the barrel.
Them spitting on him.
Laughing at him.
Beating him like he was fucking nothing.
My jaw tightens immediately.
Stupid little prick. I still don’t understand why the fuck he never told me or Cain about any of this shit. I mean, yeah, we were miles away most of the time back then, too busy with our own fucked-up lives, but none of that would’ve mattered. He was still our baby brother. I would’ve shown up the second he asked me to. Both of us would’ve. But Reed had always been too fucking proud for that—too stubborn. And honestly… he was probably right not to call us. Because family has always been everything to me and Cain. Always. And Reed probably knewthings would’ve gotten unimaginably fucked if we ever found out what they were doing to him.
A slow breath leaves me while I stare at Sierra trembling above the water.
Yeah.
He definitely knew.
“Time to pay your debt, kitten,” I rasp before bringing my hand down hard against her ass.
The reaction is instant. She lets out a painful scream while her entire body jerks violently over the metal rim, fresh agony immediately ripping through the burned skin stretched across her body.
“Hope you missed your boyfriend,” I mutter darkly while forcing her legs farther apart with one hand.
The second she realizes what I’m holding, pure horror instantly crashes across her face. A broken sob escapes her as her trembling arms nearly give out against the slippery metal edge of the barrel, her face dropping dangerously close to the water beneath her before she barely manages to catch herself again.
“Please…” she chokes out violently, fear flooding her voice all over again. “Please don’t…”
But that reaction only amuses me even more.
“You wanted to fuck around,” I bite out coldly while forcing her legs farther apart. She instantly starts trembling harder as I hold her, sheer terror flooding her face the second she realizes what I’m about to do. “Now you’re gonna find out.” A strangled cry breaks from her the second I rip the device out of her and shove the bloodied object inside her tight cunt instead. The realization hits her immediately.
“No! Please, Dom!” Her voice completely falls apart while she nearly slips forward into the barrel again, trembling arms barely managing to keep her from falling headfirst into the water.
God, fear looks so fucking good on her.
“Since you already ate his cock,” I add darkly while fucking her pussy, “I guess you’ll love having at least his fingers inside you one last time.”
The crying starts immediately, exactly like I knew it would, but honestly, that changes absolutely nothing for her.
“Shhh,” I whisper almost gently while holding her in place. “Close your eyes, kitten.” I hum softly under my breath. “Just pretend it’s you and pretty Vince again.”
Another broken sob tears out of her throat while I force the dead arm deeper with a slow, cruel twist, the movement instantly ripping a ragged scream out of her as her entire body jerks violently over the edge above the water.
Her cries only grow louder afterward, turning sharp and hysterical as they start drilling straight into my skull. My patience runs out fast, and I grab the back of her head with my free hand before forcing her face straight into the water. She immediately starts thrashing wildly, arms slamming against the sides of the barrel while water splashes violently everywhere as she desperately tries to break free from me. A quiet laugh slips out of me while I hold her beneath the surface.
