That goddamn mouth. The shit that comes out of it makes me want to throttle her right here—wrap my hand around her throat, watching the life drain from her eyes. She’s always going to be unpredictable. One minute she tries to play a soft angel, the next she’s like a demon from Hell ready to attack. Somehow, I prefer the demon inside her even if it pisses me off.

“I plan on it. I can’t wait to hear you pleading under my touch. You’ll be begging for me to put you out of your misery.” I plaster my fake-ass smile back on my face and move closer to her. I can’t see myself when I’m like this, but I’ve heard it’s venomous and terrifying. Her body tenses, but her face remains blank, giving nothing away.

“You won’t get that satisfaction. Might as well cut your losses and kill me now. You’re going to waste your time trying to get anything out of me.”

Something in her smug tone makes my fingers itch.

“Don’t worry. Your time will come, we’ll just have fun while we wait.”

“You don’t think I’ll have a little fun too? I see the way Blais looks at me. The way he wants me. How his body reacts to the sight of mine. The thought of his big hands all over my body, touching every inch of my skin is exhilarating. Mmmm, I’m sure he’d take me right here in this cell if I asked him to,” she taunts, giving me an evil smile.

“Shut the fuck up,” I roar. Restraining my emotions after she causes my outburst, I calm my thoughts. She won’t get to me. She doesn’t deserve any emotion from me.

“And Theon? Fuck. His hard exterior. The toned muscles that bulge beneath his shirt. The way his eyes roam my body like I’m a dirty secret he wants to keep. Yeah, I’d like to feel just how rough he’d like to get with me. It’s only a matter of time until he snaps. He couldn’t keep his eyes off me when I was rubbing soap all over my body.” A moan escapes her lips as she tilts her head back against the wall.

She’s playing you, don’t fall for it.

“Let’s not forget you either. The spite, anger, and hate you throw at me. It’s all an act, because deep down, you know you want me too. You know I’m something you’ll never have. Something you’ll never control and it makes you mad.” Her eyes connect with mine and that fire I saw last night blazes through. She is the fucking devil; the fire in her eyes comes straight from Hell.

“I said shut the fuck up.” My fists flex at my side as I try to control my breathing.

“What? Don’t like that you’re not the only one who pays attention? I’ve been taking it all in, absorbing as much as I can. You like control. Theon likes to observe. Blais likes pain.”

Something about the way that she thinks she knows everything makes me see red. My entire body snaps, lunging for her. She pulls her legs back to her chest, trying to avoid my attack, but I grab onto her ankle.

She kicks me in the stomach with her other leg, knocking the wind right out of me, but I don’t give up.

I pull her body down flat, pressing my weight onto her, pinning her wrists above her head. She arches her back into me, trying to wiggle her hips, but I press deeper, holding her in place.

“You’re at my mercy. Your life is in my hands. Everything that’s keeping you breathing is because of me. Remember that.” My face hovers over her as she glares daggers at me. As she writhes below me, the thoughts of fucking her deep into the bed flash through my mind. Just how much she’d like taking my cock deep inside her while she pretends to hate me.

“We’ll see how long you keep thinking that.” Her eyes narrow on mine, and I squeeze her wrists tighter, making her wince.

I need to back away. I need to get myself under control.

Pushing off her body to get some space from her, I face the opposite wall and take in a deep breath. Just as I turn around, splintering pain erupts through my skull, blurring my vision as a hard object crashes into my face.

What. The. Fuck?

“Fuck!” Ace growls, stumbling forward like he’s going to fall, but he quickly regains his composure. The empty tray I hit him with crashes to the ground, the sound echoing through the cell.

Shit, I hope the others don’t hear and come running. I might be able to take one head-on, but I don’t think I can overpower all three at the same time.

Taking this moment to get the upper hand, I hold my breath, slamming my bare foot into the back of his knee, causing his large frame to fall forward so he’s kneeling on the ground.

From behind, I wrap my arm around him, attempting to put him in a choke hold, but his neck is so fucking thick. I wiggle my arm, getting in position and squeeze as hard as I can, but I don’t know if it’s good enough. I don’t have all my strength due to my exhaustion, but all I can do is fucking try.

I won't stop. I have to keep fighting. I finally have Ace Lennox in the palm of my hand and I can’t waste this opportunity. When he’s knocked out, I’ll grab the key and get out of here. I don’t know where the others are, so I’ll just have to play it by ear once I’m free. It’s reckless, but it’s all I can do.

His body jerks forward, but the position I’m in with the weight I’m putting on him doesn’t allow him to get far.

“You underestimated me, but I bet you’re regretting that now. You should’ve kept me strapped to that table where I couldn’t move, because now I’m going to destroy you and your little friends,” I spit, almost out of breath from trying to hold him.

“Fuck. You,” Ace croaks angrily. He tries to pry my arm off him, but I hold him as tight as I can.

“I wonder how Theon and Blais are going to feel when they find your cold body down here. Maybe they won’t even get the chance to see it because I’ll kill them too.” I squeeze tighter, making him grunt. His tense muscles finally start to relax. I haven’t even been here that long and they are already bringing out the darkest parts of me. It’s escaping, barely being held back by the little restraint I have.

“That would be easy though. I’m not letting you get off like that. Maybe I’ll leave you all alive, just so I can take you down nice and slow, watching you suffer.”
