She presses two fingers down on my tongue, sliding them back and forth as she threatens to gag me. “I shouldn’t have let you leave, babe. I won’t make that mistake again.” She rubs faster, harder, her swollen pussy lips quivering against mine. “You belong to me, Lettie. Mine. Fucking.Mine.”
We both cry out as the floodgates open between our thighs. Her fingers slide to the back of my throat as she cums hard. I choke, my chest heaving as I’m gripped by my own release. My body convulses, torn between cumming and breathing. “Uhhh,” I moan as I suck the salt from her skin.
She squeezes my clit as a gurgled cry erupts from her throat. “Fuck!” She cries out. “No more running, Lettie. No more hiding.” She slows her pace and gently rocks against my trembling pussy. “I’ve let you have your tantrum. But it’s time to come home now. The girls need you.I need you.”
A shiver skates up my spine. The things we’ve done… the things she’ll make me do again… Blood. Sacrifice. Death. I shake my head. “No, Sky. I can’t.I won’t. It’s not good for any of us.”
She keeps going, evoking another flurry of moans from us both. Her cheeks are flushed pink, taut like her nipples. “I’m not asking, Lettie. You belong to me. To us. You will do as you’re told, or I will have to use more calculated methods to convince you. And I’m not above blackmail.”
I shudder as I think back to the cold cement against my naked back. I can still feel the spiked leather straps digging into my thighs and wrists while they took turns taking what they wanted from me. It was a punishment but also a badge of shame because I came hard every time they did. My body craved every second, even as my mind built up a wall of anger and hate.Those were the laws of the covenant.
“You still don’t get it, Sky. That’s why I had to get away from you. One minute you’re as sweet as honey, and the next you become a feral animal, snapping your teeth at my throat. Then making me think it’s my fault. I’m done with your fucking mind games.”
She chuckles as she lowers her face between my thighs. “Nah. You love my games. Just like you love this…” She blows a soft breath against my pussy before dragging the tip of her tongue over my taint and up my slit.
I can’t help but shiver, my orgasm cresting again. “Fuck… you.”
She slaps the inside of my thigh hard. “Yes, you will. Whenever I want you to. You owe me all that lost time, my love.Berlin and Aeloria are still salty too. Because you owe them just as much.” She slaps me again. “You might not be able to walk for a while. I can’t say how long it will take us to quench our thirst for our fallen fourth.”
Fuck. Sky has always been the fire. Berlin is earth energy, stable and strong. Then there’s Aeloria, like the wind she can be soft and subtle or violent and destructive. And I was the water that flowed between all three of them, fluid and always changing to adapt. The balance that kept Berlin satiated, and Aeloria grounded. But most of all, I tried to keep Sky from burning everything in her path. But I failed. She can’ be contained.
And now she’s pulling me back in. I can already feel it. I just need to stay strong like before.I need to get the fuck off this table.I sit up and start to hop off when she wraps her hand around my throat.
“I’m not playing, Lettie. We made an oath. I let you run off and have your fun at Tenebrose Academy. I said nothing while you left us vulnerable. But now it’s time to come home. We need you. Your duty is to us. And I swear to the gods I will fucking lock you in a cage if I have to.” Like the flip of a switch she becomes the snake again, calculated and deadly.
The punishments awaiting me are many. They will be mental as well as physical. That isn’t what I’m worried about. No. It’s losing myself to her chaos again. Falling so hard in love with her that her delusions become mine. And then suffering her absence and silence when she throws up her walls and pushes me away. She will break my heart as many times as I let her.And I always let her.I need to stop.
“No. I’m done. This can’t happen again.” This time, I succeed in getting out from under her and off the table. As soon as my boots hit the ground, I pull my dress back down.
“Someone knows what we did,” she blurts out.
That stops me dead in my tracks. My stomach sinks. Fuck. Of course, there’s a catch. There always is. I take a deep breath and count to ten in my head before exhaling. “I don’t believe you.”
“We’ve gotten threats. You’re just as guilty as we are, Lettie. So you need to come back and help us deal with it… Please.”
Despite the faint hint of desperation in her voice, I’m still not entirely convinced. “No. I’m done. I can’t go back there, Sky. You’re going to have to figure this one out on your own. You got us into that mess. It was all your idea. So you figure out how to end it.”
She smirks again before leaning back against the table. She spreads her thighs apart and sticks two fingers inside her pussy. “I’ll let you sleep on it. I’m sure you’ll change your mind. I know you miss the drama of it all…”
My mouth waters as I watch her fingers slosh in and out of her wet pussy. I can’t tear my eyes away.Who the fuck am I kidding?I’m not doing this for anyone but myself. For my own selfish desire to be under Skyler’s spell again.
And she knows it. She knows I can’t resist her. “Fine. I willthinkabout it.”
“Good,” she purrs. “Then it’s settled.” She smiles, her cheeks flushing bright pink. “Now be a good girl and come back over here. I want your tongue as far inside my cunt as you can fucking get it.”
Fuck.
I go to her like an obedient pet. I let her grip my head between her hands. And I almost cry when I taste her. I lap at her juices like I’m dying of thirst.
She’s like a fucking cult leader. I can’t say no, I can’t walk away, and I can’t remember who I am when my tongue is inside her. She tastes like a bad idea and the sweetest escape. But she never lets me get away. Not for long.
BONES
Ispot Mia’s cherry-red Super Beetle in front of the garage. My gift to her. The first of many. I rebuilt the engine last summer. In between fights at the Circle, helping with the Blackwell gin business, and terrorizing our little lamb into submission, it’s amazing I was able to tinker around in the garage at all. It’s like therapy. If I can’t build stuff and get my hands dirty, then I’ll only feel more splintered and jagged than I already am.
I catch a whiff of jasmine before I’m even through the front door. “I hope you haven’t been waiting long, mi amor,” I call out as I waltz into the main shop area. My apartment is above it, but the whole garage is lived in. Empty beer bottles lie scattered around crumpled-up magazines and rolled-up sweatpants. I might not be as organized as Dray and Ries but I’m still just as intoxicating. Even in my mess.
I don’t hear Mia’s response, so I trot upstairs, guessing she’s too focused on raiding my mini bar. “Sorry I kept you, love. Lettie and I got caught up over at—”
