“Yeah, what am I supposed to do about work? If I’m staying here am I like on house arrest or something? Do I need an ankle monitor and an orange jumpsuit, because I have to say, it’s not my color,” I sass, sarcasm obvious in my voice. Maddox chuckles and Gage squeezes my thigh in a warning.
“Watch that smart mouth, baby. I’m not opposed to washing it out with soap, or better yet, my cum,” Gage mumbles in my ear. I shiver involuntarily, whether, from his proximity or his threat, I’m not sure. “You’d like that, wouldn’t you? Dirty, sweet girl.”
I fight the urge to moan and instead I muster up all my womanly power and glare at the smug bastard.
“Can you just answer the question?” Gage mashes his teeth at me like a damn dog and glares back. We're in a standoff and he’s waiting for me to submit. I won’t because I know he just wants to distract me.
“Oh for fucks sake, Gage! No baby girl, you’re not a fucking prisoner. But you do need to stay home and heal so we think it’s best you’re off work until then. Once you’re feeling 100 percent again, then we will talk about safety protocols for you to be out and about. Hopefully, we have the fuckface sorted by then. When you’re up to it, you can use the gym here and we will continue you’re training. You’re welcome to use anything in the house. Go explore it and enjoy yourself. Just stay inside till we have a plan in place, yeah?” Maddox demands in a stance similar to Gage’s power pose.
I nod in agreement and he smirks.
“Good, now get up. I ordered pizza like twenty minutes ago. It should be here soon.”
Nyxon
“Whereisshe?”Stonemumbles.
“Who?” Gage asks absentmindedly as he clicks through something on the computer. Stone, Gage, and I are in our Comms Room/office on the second floor of our house, waiting on Maddox, as usual, so we can talk about all the bullshit that’s going on around us.
So much fucking bullshit.
Sighing, I run my fingers through my beard. It’s long and has grown out unevenly. I mentally remind myself I need to trim it. Maybe go to the barbershop if I have time. I huff out a laugh. Yeah fucking right, I barely have time to take a shit let alone get groomed properly.
Stone chuckles as he drops his ass onto the couch. “Your girlfriend. Who the hell else would I be asking about?” Gage smirks and the door flies open, hitting the wall and bouncing off the doorstop. This motherfucker right here is why we’ve had to childproof the entire house.
“She’s not justhisgirlfriend,” he growls before slamming the door shut.
“Must you slam everything? She’s asleep for fucks sake, Madd,” Gage murmurs tiredly as he rubs his face. It’s then that I notice the dark circles under his eyes, his frown lines more pronounced than usual.
“Oh yeah? You fucks are sharing the poor girl? Jesus Christ, does she know what she signed up for? Is she even aware you’ve decided on this arrangement?” Stone sputters, barely able to get the words out around his choked laughter. I stare at him incredulously, wondering why and the fuck he’s laughing at this fucked up situation when everything inside of me is instantly primed to fucking kill.
Maddox snickers and even Gage is grinning widely. “Of course, she knows. She’s down and she’sours.”Madd leans against the desk and picks up one of the pens which he then begins to click continuously and obnoxiously as he takes in the questioning look on Stones’ face and the likely murderous rage on my own. “Awww, don’t be like that boys. I’m sure you could get in on the action if you ask nicely.”
Wicked Games-Daisy Gray
“Don’t talk about her like she’s a fucking toy that you can just share with your friends. What the fuck is wrong with you?” I shout, jumping out of my chair. Everyone looks at me and I fight the conflicting urges to either pummel their faces in or take off, ignoring my ridiculous outburst altogether.
“Okay,” Gage drawls, brows furrowed. “For one, he was kidding. For two, Nyx is right, don’t say shit like that, even if you are kidding, Madd. For three, was that really an appropriate reaction, brother?”
What the fuck is wrong with me? My head is so goddamned fucked over her. I don’t even know what to do or say. I haven’t known for fucking days. Since the moment I watched my two best friends kiss the woman I’ve been mentally pining after for two fucking years, I’ve been fucking lost.
I pace back and forth through the room, clenching my fists. I probably look like a caged beast right now and honestly, it would be fitting because that’s exactly how I feel. Like a lion on display at the zoo, forced to live his life in a tiny ass metal cage when all he wants to do is run fucking free. Run from everything and everyone and kill anyone who dares to challenge him or take what belongs to him. And the primal part that’s deep inside me, running through me like blood in my veins isscreamingthat what belongs to me is her.
Ella.
My Thumbelina. Mine. The word claws at my throat, begging to be roared. I am fighting every single fiber of my being right now that wants to pound on my chest, run downstairs, grab her and take her with me. Far, far away.
Far away from all the bullshit.
Far away from our world that is literally blowing up around us.
Far away from all of the danger, because despite what these two may think, our world is so fucking dangerous right now that even us four may not be able to protect her.
But mostly, I want to take her far, far away fromthem, my best friends, my brothers. Because if I have to sit back and continue to watch them with her how they were the other night, I am going to fucking murder someone. Their hands on her body, their mouths on hers. And now, they are claiming her? What and the ever-loving fuck did I do to deserve this shit?
You know what you did. You’re a disappointment, a failure. You lost the two most important women in your life, got them taken, abused, and murdered. You deserve nothing.
The voice inside my head sobers me and I finally stop pacing. It’s right, the voice. I don’t deserve her. I don’t deserve happiness at all. But she does. And if they are what makes her happy, then trying to stop it would make me worse of a human than I already am.
