“Still early. Sun’s coming up. I was about to leave, to go and find Jakub.”
“You know where the cabin is?”
“Vaguely. He mentioned its location once. I’ll find him.”
“Okay,” I nod, my stomach tightening in knots at the thought of Jakub returning to the castle. “Where are we?”
“In Konrad’s bedroom. I figured Thirteen could do with a night in her own bed without any of us taking up her space, so I carried you back here. How are you feeling?”
Behind me, Konrad shifts restlessly, muttering nonsensical words in his sleep. “I feel okay,” I lie, feeling far from it. My stomach is cramping from the pill Thirteen gave me and my heart is bruised from everything that’s happened over the past few days.
Leon smiles, resting his head on the cushion next to me, his minty breaths mingling with mine. Running a finger over my birthmark, he pushes a few strands of hair behind my ear. “You’re a very pretty liar,” he says with a soft chuckle.
“I’m not,” I protest.
“What, pretty or a liar? Because you’ve always been pretty—beautiful in fact—and right now you’re lying.”
“This isn’t easy for me.”
“Want to tell us how you really feel?”
“Us?”
“Sleep is for the dead,” Konrad says from behind me, as he presses his nose into my neck and inhales deeply. “You smell like all the things a man like me doesn’t deserve.”
My heart pitter-patters inside my chest, betraying me. “I thought you were asleep?”
“I was. I’m not now.”
There’s a note of promise in his voice, and despite everything, my traitorous clit flutters right at the same time that my stomach cramps. Looks like my body has the same reaction to these men as my emotions.
Pain and pleasure. Love and hate.
Love…
Do I love these men?
Of course I don’t. I wouldn’t be willing to poison them if I did. I force that thought away, unwilling to face it or the future that’s hurtling towards us all at a brutal pace.
“Are you in pain?” Konrad asks me as I let out a small moan, partly caused by another cramp and partly just from despair.
“Thirteen gave me something to prevent an unwanted pregnancy…”
“Shit!” Konrad exclaims, burying his face in my hair and pressing his hand against my belly as he rubs it gently, his warmth seeping into my skin. “I’m sorry.”
“We’ll do better. Be better,” Leon says, as he brushes his lips against mine in a sweet, loving kiss.
“Are you bleeding?” Konrad asks, his lips trailing over my neck, along my jaw. My skin covers in goosebumps with every hot press of his mouth. The air between us thickens with undeniable lust and despite the confusion in my heart, my body reacts to them both.
I nod, feeling the telltale wetness between my legs. “I should take a bath...”
He growls into my ear, nipping it gently with his teeth. “Don’t go… I need to taste you,” he says, his mouth hovering over my ear as his hand skims over my stomach, towards my pussy.
“Taste me?” I blurt out, squirming beneath his hand.
“Yes, let me make you feel better. Let me show you I can be gentle too.”
“But I’m…” Heat floods my cheeks at the thought.
