"Guilty as charged." My lust filled voice is foreign even to my own ears.
"You bit me." He rubs his erection against my belly, because he liked it.
Maybe, I do too. Why does he affect me this way? “Want me to do it again?”
“Maybe.”
"Stop being a sadist, Kai."
He licks my lips making me almost beg for more. "Never."
Gunner's gruff voice rumbles throughout the room. "Stop pawing at her like an animal, Kai. What's this even about? Let me see the phone."
Reluctantly, Kai has to let me go. He takes my shattered phone out of his pocket. A smile grows on my face. He won't be able to see anything, and it'll just be my word against Kai's.
Gunner's face remains neutral. Making his way back to his desk, he opens his laptop. I walk close enough that I can see his screen. They've been tracking me. Not only monitoring my own laptop but also my phone.
"What the hell, Gunner? Y'all have been stalking me!" I shout.
Like storm clouds rolling in, his blue eyes have turned a light gray. His tone is clipped with barely contained anger. "No, we'vehad the means to do so, but chose to give you your privacy. It seems we were wrong in allowing you your freedom."
My blood boils at his condescension. My mind shuts off and all that remains is my blind rage.
Taking the nameplate I bought him for Christmas off his desk, I send it spiraling across the room to the glass cabinet that displays his awards.
The glass breaks, and shatters at Kai's feet. Parts of his face and arm are cut by my wrath. Before I can tell them I'm sorry, Kai looks behind me at his brother.
His smile is feral in a way I've never seen. The sheer intensity of his emotion has me feeling like a caged animal. It’s funny how quickly anger can turn to fear.
This can't be good. My heart pounds in my ears, what will the consequences of my actions be? And will I like my punishment?
Facing my fears, I turn around slowly. A scream dies in my throat at what I find. Standing within a stones throw of me, is my stepbrother wearing a Jason mask.
I back up towards the door when Kai joins his brother. An identical mask now covering his face, my scream is shrill when it finally makes its way out.
Kai turns off the only light in the room, but the moonlight cascading through the window is light enough for me to see. They are clutching knives in their hands, and when they start walking toward me, I rush out of the room.
I stumble a couple of times because Kai turned off every single light before he walked into the office. Did he know this was going to happen?
Running directly towards the front door, I grunt in frustration. I can't get out. There's a lock at the top I've never seen before.
Tears fall down my face, because I'm confused— scared—every emotion. The blinds and curtains are drawn so nomoonlight can guide me. I’m alone in the dark, with two men that have always protected me.
So, why are they wearing the masks they know I hate? And why do they have knives? I don’t like horror movies, and now I’m in one.
"Please, don't kill me!" I cry.
My heart lurches, and I scream into the darkness when Gunner whispers in my ear. How did he get so close without me hearing him? "Never, Little Lamb, but you must be punished."
Kai holds me in place, I’m in front of them, with no hope of escaping.
"Now run!" He commands. Apparently they like the chase.
