He grunted, pained and shuddering, coming to his own release, and it was that knowledge that broke me. I came hard on his cock, gripping him like he was the only life raft in a turbulent sea. Stars burst against the back of my eyelids as I struggled for breath.
He pumped his last with a feral sound stealing from his lips. When his hand around my throat opened, I cried out, shouting as the orgasm continued to tear through me, making my muscles tighten and spasm, legs shaking, cunt throbbing.
Rook remained there, seated inside me, lightly flicking my swollen clit to keep the orgasm rolling even when I tried to fight him off, tried to squirm away, unable to take any more.
His cock slid out, hands dragging down my body until he was upright again, breathing heavily.
The front door burst open, and I pulled my knees in, rolling from the countertop to snatch a blade from the floor as Grey raced into the kitchen, wild eyed.
I made my gaping mouth shut, staring like a kid caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
Rook leaned back against the counter by the sink, wholly unbothered. His cock still hard but softening slowly.
It took Grey a moment to realize there was no threat. The grip on the gun in his right hand loosened as he swallowed, replacing it into the back of his jeans.
“If you gotten back just a little sooner, you could’ve joined us,” Rook said, bending to grab his pack of cigarettes from the floor, tugging one out to put it between his lips.
Grey frowned.
“You know how Corvus feels about smoking in the house,” Grey said, his shoulders tensing as he waltzed through the kitchen past us to the stairs. “Go outside.”
“Grey,” I hedged and he paused on the landing, his knuckles going white from their grip on the banister.
“Stay here tonight,” he said without turning. “If you don’t want to sleep in the spare room, I’m sureRookwon’t mind sharing his bed.”
With that, he left us, ascending the stairs. His footfalls echoed in the silence, but there came no slammed door. Just the faint tap of wood on wood. Of a door closing without a handle to keep it properly shut.
I winced, dropping my head with a sigh.
“Want a dart?” Rook offered, and I turned to find him lighting the cigarette between his lips while holding another out to me.
I stole the one from his lips instead, inhaling the tarry smoke and exhaling it on a sigh. I wasn’t a smoker, but there was something about a good smoke after a good fuck.
I took another drag before passing it back. “You held back,” I accused him. I felt almost cheated. The truth was, I could tell he was holding backa lot. The fact that hecouldhold back boded well for my survival, but I’d told him not to. I wanted it all. Every dark, depraved part, but he’d denied me that. Why?
The smug look dropped from his face. “I…”
“You what?”
He jerked his head to the stairs. “Come on, Ghost. You need bandages—and a shower.”
I couldn’t believethe two of them. How either of them thought for a second that their little prank would be funny was beyond my fucking ability to understand. What I felt in that horrible moment when I saw her there on the floor, pale and bloodied and still…
It was unlike anything I’d ever felt before.
Theloss.
The terror.
The fucking pain.
All felt through a sieve of numbness. Like I was in a nightmare. Like it wasn’t real. Couldn’t be real. Like I was beside myself, not really inside the cage of my bones anymore, but forced to bear witness as a phantom bystander. Able to feel all the pain, but unable to do anything to make it stop.
A prank.
A fucking prank.
More like a slap in the face, but maybe one I deserved for not trusting my brother. He’d crawled and clawed his way to the man he was now since Barrettes Home for Boys and since the years we don’t talk about that came after.
