They were looking back at me like they were lions that had just stumbled upon a lamb. I felt hunted, despite my predators being only feet away.
It was deeply unsettling.
And if I’d learned anything from this shitstorm of a week, it was that if something didn’t feel right, then chances were that it wasn’t.
“Listen, guys, I don’t know what you’re planning, but I don’t like the way you’re looking at me,” I began, edging towards the door. It didn’t occur to me that it was strange that neither of them made a move towards me to stop me from leaving the room until my hand brushed against the doorknob, and it didn’t turn.
It was key-locked. Great. I mean, no problem if I knew which of these fuckers had the key and where they might have been hiding it…
“Come here, Kaci,” Caelum instructed, his tone still weirdly gentle.
I took a step back instead. “What’s going on, Ry?” I tried, my gaze flicking to him like he would rescue me from whatever this was, which was foolish in retrospect, but hey—a girl had to exhaust all avenues of escape until she ran out of options.
“We’re gonna do what we should have done days ago,” Ry answered.
“Which is what…?”
Caelum stood up from his seat on the bed and strode over to me, closing the distance between us in two long steps. In an instant, he towered over me and cocked his head.
“You’re our mate. It’s time for us to claim you,” Caelum finally answered. There was a dark possessiveness to his voice, and I got the sudden feeling that I wasn’t going to enjoy the process.
“What does that mean?” I pressed, my back finding the door.
Caelum ignored my question and brushed his fingers beneath my chin, lifting it so that he could look directly into my eyes.
“You’re going to be a good girl and submit,” he commanded, and I gritted my teeth.
“Fuck that,” I breathed, and his gentle touch tightened on my chin. I pushed against the brick wall of his chest, but he didn’t budge an inch. With a feral grunt, I tried again, and he leaneddown, wrapped his hands around my waist and threw me over his shoulder.
“We had planned to be gentle with you, but perhaps that’s not what you need, princess,” Caelum growled.
I pounded my fists against his back, attempting to make him put me down, but it was like I was nothing more than a gnat. He simply swatted my panty-covered ass hard, and I stiffened, taken aback by the sudden harsh sting.
“Ow! Let me go, fuckface!”
“Ry, why don’t you fetch our belts,” Caelum directed, and I looked up to see a dangerously heated look take over Ry’s face, like he actually liked the idea.
It was at that moment that I realized that Imighthave fucked up.
Like royally fucked up.
Like fucked up in the way that was probably going to get a dick up my ass if I wasn’t careful.
“Wait. What happened to this ‘you’re going to be gentle’ deal? Let’s rewind to that,” I suggested, and Ry sniffed the air.
When he chuckled dangerously, my heart dropped to the tips of my toes. “She doesn’t smell like she wants gentle,” Ry suggested, and I shot him a look that should have burnt him to a crisp right where he stood.
Unfortunately, my epic plan to spite him failed.
I watched in horror as Ry walked over to their discarded clothing pile. For the briefest of seconds, I allowed myself to enjoy the sight of his ass encased in a pair of grey sweats. Neither of themwas wearing a shirt, and my gaze feasted on Ry’s back muscles before turning back to the more alarming matter at hand, the fact that I was still slung over Caelum’s shoulder like a sack of flour.
Well, if I was already in deep shit, might as well dig my grave that much deeper. If I could break free, maybe I could figure out some way to escape these two Neanderthals before it was too late.
Out of pure desperation, I dug my nails into Caelum’s back, hard enough to make him grunt in pain. He walked over to the bed and flipped me off his shoulder onto my back, forcing the air out of my lungs in a loud huff. It didn’t hurt, but it was enough to take me by surprise as I bounced on the mattress.
“The scent of her arousal spiked once you mentioned the belt,” Ry grinned, and I recovered enough to scramble backwards on the bed.
“It did not!” I screeched.
