Corderito...
Little lamb...
"…Come on, Vasily, just leave her alone," the youngest Crellid brother, Jethro, mumbled as he hovered restlessly in my bedroom doorway, watching his teenage brother stalk towards me with purposeful, menacing strides.
I had been at the Crellid estate less than a month and this was Vasily's fifth visit to my room. Infuriated with the small boy for just standing in the doorway and not helping me, I glared at him and felt a small smidgen of satisfaction when his pale cheeks reddened.
"Come here," Vasily coaxed, drawing my attention back to the immediate threat, blue eyes shining with malice. "I only want to talk to you."
A wave of panic swept through my body and I found myself scrambling off my bed, backing away from the big, blond, seventeen-year-old boy. I knew what he wanted to do with me and it wasn't talk.
Trick me once.
"Stay back," I warned, glaring daggers at the huge boy. I knew all about the workings of a boy's mind. I might be young, but I was no child. I'd grown up quickly in my father's world and I was all too aware of the twisted minds of men. Had been for years.
And this boy was dangerous.
I could sense it.
I could see it.
I knew what he would try to do to me if I let him.
I also knew that I would rather throw myself out of my window before I let it happen.
Holding the book I had been reading in front of my body, I tried to sidestep him, but he blocked my path, leaving me cornered and trapped.
Again.
"Touch me again and I'll kill you," I warned. "I know how to shoot." I didn’t, but he didn’t know it. "My father showed me all the tricks." Another lie. "I'm dangerous."
A cruel laugh tore from his throat and he shook his head. "Did you hear that, Jethro? Northwood's baby-spawn whore is going to try to kill me." Snickering, he added, "She's dangerous."
"Leave her alone, Vas," Jethro mumbled, cowering in the doorway. "Father won't like this."
"Father said she was ours to do what we wanted with," Vasily shot back. "Just because you're all too pussy of Northwood's ghost doesn’t mean that I am." He smirked at me. "My brothers agreed to wait until you come of age before they unwrap you, but I intend to cash in on my gift now."
"I said that I will kill you, not try," I corrected, jutting my chin up in defiance. "Don't mistake my promises for threats."
"And how do you propose to kill me, baby whore?" he taunted, caging me into the corner. "With these scrawny arms?" Reaching down, he placed the palm of his hand against my flat chest and roughly slammed me against the wall at my back. "With this skinny body?"
The air escaped my lungs with an audible ooof and my book slipped from my fingers, clattering to the floor.
"I'll find a way," I strangled out, panting now. "I promise you that."
"You'll do absolutely nothing because you have no power in this world," he challenged, stepping closer. "You are a girl. You are beneath me. You are only good for one thing –" he paused to cup my private area. "I'll break this."
"You'll die if you try!" Snarling, I shoved at his chest and he backhanded me, knocking me against the wall again. "Fuck you," I sobbed, lip wobbling, as I cradled my stinging cheek. "You'll pay for that."
"Oh, I will fuck you, baby whore," he promised darkly. "And then I'll share you with my brothers."
Shuddering, my lip curled up in disgust and I shoved at his chest again. "You are Crellid scum!"
"And you are Northwood pussy."
My stomach heaved. "I'm too young."
"I don’t care."
