“You lied to me.”My skin felt crusty where his cum had dried on it, and I had to fight the urge to scrub at it with my nails. I wanted it off me, that dry, flaky mess, but I didn't want to give him the satisfaction of knowing how much I hated it.
The hand on the back of my neck tightened. Acco's cruel nails dug into the skin at my hairline as he turned me to face the room. He was daring me to say something else, to cause a scene. I had no doubt that he would enjoy punishing me for it.
I didn't flinch as I turned my eyes on the people who were staring back at us. None of them had even tried to look human. And although they were beautiful if you didn't look too closely, I knew the monsters they were underneath. Otherworldly eyes narrowed with lust and animalistic teeth cut against lips as they grinned at my nakedness.
The children, the young adults who had been my responsibility to protect stood next to their new masters, glassy eyed and almost lifeless. There was nothing in their eyes anymore. Nothing human anyway.
“You said you would let them go.”
Acco laughed. “I said I would set them free. But only if they want to be free. Do they look like they want to be free, Briella? They are finally free of their mundane chains. They are changing. Just like you will change.”
“I will never be like them, Acco, I will fight you. This deal is off.” I struggled against his grip as he cackled out a laugh.
“The deal is binding. I have given them the chance at freedom and not one of them wanted it. They belong heart and soul to their masters now. Just like you will.” He moved me forward towards the stage, and I was powerless to do anything but let my feet drag on the floor. The grip on the back of my neck was relentless. Unmovable.
“I give you wife of Acco,” his voice boomed as he turned me to face the room. A cheer went up. “As predicted, Briella came back to me on her own. She has given herself freely to me already as you can see.”
Laughter filled the air.
“As is our custom, I will take her in front of you all.” Spinning me around, using the hand on the back of my neck he pushed me down onto a wooden table I hadn't seen before. The wood was rough against my breasts.
“Stay.”
It was like invisible chains had wrapped tight about me. Pinning me in place.
More laughter filled the air as he kicked my legs further apart. I couldn't move. I couldn’t do anything but cry silently as Acco’s hands kneaded my bare ass. The wickedly sharp claws on the end of his fingers drew blood.
“We are just waiting for our special guests, and then we can make this official. Come, my friends. Come and smell me all over her skin and know that she is mine.”
The sound of shattering glass was loud, and someone outside the room screamed - it was a high-pitched wail of utter agony that was cut short as quickly as it had begun.
“Ah, I see Briella's special guest has arrived. Welcome, Bloody Bones.”
