“Screw you,” I mutter, stepping around him and immediately gritting my jaw on the sudden feeling that I’m walking on broken glass. “This conversation is over.”

Until it isn’t.

I feel the rush of warm air moments before Konrad sweeps me off my feet and clutches me against his chest, his musky scent filling my nose. “I’m going to fix up your feet,” he says gruffly, his deep voice rumbling through his chest and into my body.

“I’m perfectly capable of doing it myself,” I snarl, trying to twist out of his hold, but he just grips me tighter, his fingers digging painfully into my flesh.

“Keep doing that, Zero, and see where it gets you,” he warns, lowering his mouth and brushing his lips gently against my forehead. There’s a sweetness to his kiss, despite the way he bruises my flesh. The two sensations fight for dominance, my body reeling from both the abuse and the affection. Neither are welcome.

“Put me down.”

“Believe it or not, I’m not in the mood for a fight.”

“I won’t fight you,” I insist, lying through my teeth. Jakub had promised he’d keep them away. He lied. Instinct tells me that if I don’t get away from Konrad then something bad is going to happen, something I might not recover from. He’s on edge, despite the smiles and the fakery.

“Why don’t I believe you, Zero?” he murmurs just as Leon enters the hall.

My heart stills in my chest as I take in his appearance.

It’s not his clothing, which is as casual as Konrad’s, but his mask that makes my breath hitch. It’s jet black, shaped into a demon’s face with teeth that drop over his top lip and silver-tipped horns that are pointy and sharp as a knife. His mask is terrifying, reflecting the monster that resides within him.

“NO!” I shout, bucking in Konrad’s arms as my heart drops the beat fear holds captive, rattling my ribcage with dread.

“You really don’t get it, do you?” Konrad grinds out, keeping me gripped in his arms despite me thrashing around like a fish out of water. “You’reours.”

“Help!” I scream, calling for someone,anyoneto intervene as Leon strides towards us both. “Please, help me!”

“Nobody’s coming, Nought. Thirteen is looking after Twelve, and Jakub is attending to business in town. For a couple of hours you're ours to play with,” Leon says, grasping my jaw roughly and pressing his body against my side, so that I’m sandwiched between the two powerful men.

My hands fly up as I push against both their chests, trying to shove them away, feeling claustrophobic, unable to breathe, frantic with fear. “You had an agreement,” I say, grasping for something,anything, to stop them from acting on their base needs.

“Which Jakub broke the second he put his cock into your willing mouth,” Leon sneers. “I heard that for a virgin you’re quite the whore.”

I drag in a breath and stop fighting, too surprised to do anything else but question him. “How did you know about that?” I whisper.

Konrad lowers his head, his gaze sharp, unyielding. “Jakub just told us about your little indiscretion. He gave us permission to even the score. Heleftyou with us, Zero.”

“No!” I whisper.

“Yes! Now you’re ours for the taking.” Leon grins and places a rag over my mouth, a poisonous, caustic smell assailing my nostrils before darkness claims me.
