“What are you waiting for?” I all but growled, unable to handle another second of the anticipation.
Why was he making me wait?
I squinted into the dark to find him and something in my belly tightened, setting me on edge.
He… was fully dressed again.
So was Rook.
The pressure of Grey’s cock thrust deep in my ass vanished, and I felt the textured fabric of denim against my bare ass. But still, he held me against him, not allowing me to move.
Corvus’ eyes seemed to glow in the dark as he watched me, not with a hungry passion, but with something far more sinister.
What…
Somewhere, the sound of something dripping reached my ears and each little slap of water sent my heart into a faster rhythm.
Something wasn’t right.
“Grey?”
I struggled to pull my arms free.
“Grey, let me go.”
My pulse pounded in my ears.
“Rook?”
“Corvus?”
I glanced between them, between their shadows.
They were the monsters in the dark again, but this time I didn’t want them to chase me. Had no desire for them to catch me.
“Step into the light,” I shouted at them, needing to see their faces. Needing to make sure it was them.
That it wasn’t…
Corvus moved first, taking two strong steps into the light.
I frowned, trying to make sense of the pained expression on his face. At the rage in his eyes, barely contained.
“What happe—”
I gasped, seeing the blooming rose of fresh blood turning his gray shirt a wet red just above his waistline. Blood poured from the wound, darkening the denim of his jeans, draining all the color from his face.
“C-Corvus?”
His upper lip curled into a sneer, and when he tried to take another step forward, he nearly collapsed, catching himself on the thick branch of a tree to hold himself up.
No.
Rook emerged from the dark and into the moonlight like the ghost he named me for, his face pale. But on his second step, he fell to one knee, a sort of anger I’d never seen from him before shaping his face into someone I couldn’t recognize. He held my gaze, radiating hate as I began to notice the wounds in his leg. The gaping bullet holes, leaking blood so black it couldn’t have been human.
“He’ll never walk right again,” Corvus rasped, looking so faint it made my heart nearly stop.
Something warm dripped on my shoulder, and I jerked my head away from Grey, twisting my neck until I could see him. See the garish wound where his eye used to be. The blood dripping down his perfect face, carving lines of darkest crimson against the pale skin of his cheek.
