Her eyes lit with mischief, and I licked my lips.
“The others. They don’t trust you like they should. I say we fuck with them. Tit for tat.”
She watched my tongue travel along my lower lip, her breathing growing heavier as she shifted her feet.
How could I say no to that? How could I ever say no to her?
I grinned.
“What did you have in mind?”
I’d besticky for days after this, but it was going to be worth it to see their faces.
“Hurry up,” I urged Rook, they could be back any minute.
He ladled more of the red liquid from the metal mixing bowl onto my stomach, letting it drip and puddle on the kitchen floor.
“Does it look real?” I asked, trying to arrange my limbs in an unnatural way. The way I’d have fallen if I was a hundred and twenty pounds ofdeadAva Jade.
“Shit,” Rook hissed, stepping back to admire our handiwork. He bit his lip ring, sucking a noisy breath in through his teeth. This was turning him on, I could see it in his dark eyes.
It’d been easy to mix up a couple liters of fake blood. You only needed a few household ingredients. Hell, we had all those ingredients back at the trailer and that was saying something since our cupboards were chronically empty. But with corn syrup as the main ingredient, it was going to take some elbow grease and a full bottle’s worth of shampoo to get it all out of my hair and off my skin.
Worth it.
Unless they killed Rook, but I was banking on that not happening. They’d probably say something likeI knew this would happen,orI told you so, and then offer to help get rid of my body.
That’s when I’d jump up and shoutsurprise motherfuckers, and hopefully scare the ever-loving shit out of them.
Solid plan.
Definitely a solid plan.
Rook sloshed more blood to the floor and nodded to himself. “You’re a masterpiece,” he said.
I smiled. “Hurry, let me see before they get back. Take a picture.”
I put on my dead girl face and held my breath while Rook took out his phone and snapped a picture, kneeling in the fake blood afterward to let me see.
Damn.
“It looks so real,” I said on a laugh. Getting my skin to look so pale hadn’t been easy, but the darker reddish-purple circles around my eyes weren’t faked. They wereau naturel,courtesy of Diesel’s watchdog order. Sleeping with another person in my room didn’t bode well for comfort.
The blood though...it was looking super realistic. Pooled on my belly until it was dark, concealing the fact that there wasn’t actually a wound there. Spilling over onto the floor, pooling around my ‘corpse’ until it soaked into the edges of my dark hair, fanned out over the floor.
One of my blades on the floor next to me, just out of reach of my bloodied fingertips.
So fucking dramatic.
Tires over gravel had Rook pocketing his phone. “That’s them. They’re back.”
“Go!” I hissed. “Like we planned. You come in from the other room when they get to the kitchen.”
Rook’s lips pressed into a smile as he shook his head. “This is so fucking cruel.”
“They deserve it,” I whispered, hearing a car door open outside. “Now get the fuck out of here.”
He lifted a hand to scratch the back of his neck, the first and only sign that he might’ve thought this wasn’t as good of an idea as I did.
