Jaxon’s hand squeezes my tit harder. He slips his other palm down my stomach and into my shorts to cup my pussy. We both groan at the same time as his fingers spread my lips apart.
“Oh, believe me, I wanted to fuck you here so bad. I had to wait for tonight. Otherwise, I would’ve had to think of something different for you to sacrifice.”
I kiss his throat and smirk at his shudder. He dips his finger inside me, stretching me. It feels odd to have his gloved digit in my pussy. It’s definitely a new sensation, though I can’t complain about it.
“Am I really part of the cult?” I ask softly.
“You’re full of questions tonight.” He sinks deeper inside me and removes his hand from my breast. He pulls his mask all the way off and lets it drop to the floor.
I nip the sensitive spot on his neck, knowing full well how it affects him. I squeak when his mouth slams against mine, full of desperation and need.
“I can’t fuck you right now,” he murmurs huskily. “But just know that later, I’ll punish you for being a tease.”
I grin. “Don’t threaten me with a good time.”
He growls and devours my mouth, leaving little room for me to breathe. Making out with Jaxon is a losing battle. I can try all I want to gain power over him, but in the end, he’s theone who’s in control. He’s the one who decides if I can breathe, think, or move.
He parts his lips from mine, and a string of saliva attaches our mouths. He doesn’t pull away or make a disgusted sound, so I refuse to be grossed out by it.
“You’re very much a part of Exodus, but I plan on protecting you from those people. You won’t be anyone’s pawn.”
“I don’t have to kill or anything?”
“No. The only thing you’ll have to do is attend the party and bring a gift.”
“Do I have to fuck them?”
Jaxon stiffens. His hand shoots to my throat and squeezes. His fingers fuck me harder, drawing breathless whimpers from me. “If another man touches you, so help me god, Dahlia, I’ll do much, much worse to him than what I did to Michael.”
I suck in a sharp breath that’s cut short as he tightens his grip, closing off my airway. I completely trust my brother to let me live. He’s not the type to end my life out of jealousy, or for any reason, for that matter. If I died, he’d join me in the grave.
“When I’m done with him,” he says coldly, “I’ll string you up in front of everyone, torture you with denied orgasms until you’re begging me for mercy, and then I’ll fill all of your slutty holes right there at the party so everyone can see that you belong to me. No one touches you. Got it?”
I jerk my head in a small nod.
Jaxon crushes his lips against mine as he flicks my clit with his thumb. I open my mouth on a soundless scream as an orgasm hits me. He lets go of my neck, allowing blood to rush to my head. Waves of intense euphoria roll through me, and I lose my balance. Jaxon catches me, still pumping his fingers in my spasming core as he works me through it until I go limp in his arms.
I pant and shift my legs to stabilize myself. Jaxon slips hisfingers out and brings them to his mouth. He groans deep in his chest as he savors the taste.
“You said you’ll do worse than what you did to Michael,” I say breathlessly.
Jaxon brushes his mouth against my ear. “I did. Ready for your surprises?”
“There’s more than one?”
He ignores my question and steps away from me to let me take in the room. My heart gallops in my chest, and I crane my neck, taking in the details. I don’t recognize this place.
We’re standing in a kitchen with pristine marble countertops and new appliances. Large plants sit on the floor by the large windows that overlook the trees in the backyard and the mountain in the distance. The forest-green walls and white trim look freshly painted. A cozy table with chairs sits near the windows, giving the space an exotic look among the plants. Everything about this feels so comfortable. It feels like...
“Welcome home, baby,” Jaxon says.
My lips part in surprise. “You bought a house?”
A secretive smile curves across his lips. “Something like that.”
My eyebrows furrow. “What do you mean?”
“This neighborhood is abandoned. No one has lived here for ten years, since the last reckoning. I figured starting fresh would be best for us.”
