“I’ve gone over it in my head so many times. It’s the only way, brother,” he insists.
Konrad swipes a hand through his hair. “This could all backfire…”
“How the fuck am I supposed to let you go?” Leon asks, shaking his head.
“You have to trust me,please,” I beg, reaching for him. His jaw clenches, but he doesn’t argue this time. “I can’t tell you what you want to hear. I can’t tell you what’s going to happen, but I can share my truth, or at least part of it,” I say, dragging in a steadying breath.
“Go on,” Jakub says, a softness in his eyes that gives me the courage to continue.
“I’ve hated you all. I’ve wished you dead over and over again,” I admit. “I was willing to use my body to gain your trust, and up until recently my plan had always been to seek vengeance. To hurt you the same way you hurt me. Iwantedyou all dead,” I say, my voice trembling. “But now…”
“Now?” Konrad gently prompts, his blue eyes blazing with emotion.
“If I’ve learnt anything living with this gift is that Ihaveto trust in it. I don’t know what will happen past the night of the ball, but what I do know is this: I don’t hate you anymore. I want you to be free from your past and the pain it’s caused you. I want you to know what it feels like to live without violence, or the threat of it. I want you to be better men. I want you to learn from your past mistakes…” My voice trails off as I look at them each in turn. “I want you tolive.”
Konrad reaches for me, his palm cupping my cheek. “Then that’s what we’ll do, but if fate has other plans then I want to enjoy these last fews days together. If I’m going to hell, Christy, then I need to at least take a little bit of heaven with me.”
“What do you want from me?” I ask, my voice breathy, a flush of heat climbing over my skin at their combined attention. I’ve asked them this question countless times before, but this time I mean it differently.
“Will you come upstairs with us? Will you allow us to worship your body the best way we know how? Will you trust us to take care of your pleasure in ways you’ve never experienced before?”
My skin heats at the thought. I’ve seen the secret room hidden above the library. I know what they keep locked away in the armoire. I’m well aware of their sexual predilections. The question is, am I ready to immerse myself in their world so completely?
“We want to love you, will you let us?” he continues, his blue eyes hooded with desire, with lust, with…love.
He steps back, allowing me the space to decide, to look upon the men who’ve so wholly and irrevocably changed me. I give them the only answer I can.
“Yes.”
