“Now, I’d like to get right into the main event of the evening.”

“My favorite part of adding new members,” someone gleefully says.

The woman with red hair sets her glass on the table, excitement in her voice. “What are you going to make them do?”

Does every member have to do something different?

“I think it’s time we discuss how you two can prove yourselves,” Silas begins, only a seat away from me.

Here it is.

I hold my breath.

“Like an anticipation or to give an offering?” I wish everything wasn’t so fucking confusing.

“Sort of, yes. You and your wonderful girlfriend will need to do what everyone else here has done and show you’re who you say you are,” Silas begins nonchalantly. “You’re a couple, correct?”

“Yes?” My eyes narrow.

A devilish grin transforms his features. “We’re going to need to watch you two fuck.”

And the room falls silent.

I did not see that coming.

CHAPTER FIFTEEN

STEVIE

The entire evening has been a mindfuck, to say the very least. And now with this?

Panic rushes the length of my body, seizing hold of every limb. With a quick whip of my head, my eyes lock with Sebastian’s enlarged pupils.

Does he know?

There’s no way he knew this could happen. He might be a serial killer—a dangerous man, but I trust he’d tell me this. With our eyes locked for only a second, I try to plead with him to say or do something, even though I already know we won’t have a choice.

Sebastian breaks our connection, turning back to Silas. “Absolutely not.”

An unsettling chuckle rumbles from Silas’s chest as he glances around the room at the others. “I don’t think you understand. You do not have a choice.”

“No,” Sebastian sneers.

Silas cocks his head to the side. “We could always make her fuck one of us instead?”

Oh my god. There’s no way I will be forced to have sex with one of these men.

Sebastian quickly jumps to his feet, the force tipping the chair over, causing it to crash to the ground. “Fuck you. No one is touching her.”

“You have options, my friend.”

“She belongs to me. What makes you think I would allow you assholes to watch as I fuck her?” he bites back, and his tone washes me with relief. He isn’t going down without a fight.

“You didn’t bring anything to offer us,” Silas coldly reminds him.

“Yes, we did.”

Silas slowly shakes his head as if finding joy in what he’s demanding. “We need confirmation. Assurance.”
