Wesley leans against the wall, a cigarette between his fingers as he takes a puff of smoke.

“Did you learn your lesson, Lotus Flower?” Jasper asks, wiping my mouth with a white cloth.

“What? That my boyfriends are psychopaths?” I grumble. “Yeah. Lesson learned.”

Jasper chuckles, helping me lie back.

“What are you going to do now, use a cattle prod on me?” I snark back.

“No,” Jasper says with amusement. “We’re going to clean you up.”

“Ooooh!” Sylas says excitedly. “That's an idea for next time.”

“You better not fucking dare,” I snarl back. “I will chop off your fucking dick, so help me god, if you do that.”

“You’re no fun,” Sylas pouts.

“No fun?!” I shout. “You three just went all mad doctor on me. What more do you want from me?”

“You look sexy when you’re angry, Lola Girl. And your newpiercings…” he trails off, biting his lip as his eyes drop to my breasts. “So fucking sexy.”

Piercings?

My eyes drop, and I gasp when I see two silver bar bells through my nipples. “You pierced my nipples?” I ask him.

“What else did you think I was doing with the needle and clamps?” he asks, raising a brow.

“I don’t know. I thought it was some kind of pain play or something.”

“You hate them, don’t you?” he sighs disappointingly.

I stare at them, biting my own lip. “No,” I sigh. “I don’t hate them. But they do hurt.” I wince when I poke at one.

“Stop touching them.” Jasper slaps my hand before moving closer to my feet.

“What are you doing?” I ask, leaning up on my elbows to look.

“Cleaning up the mess Wesley left,” Jasper answers, placing a bandage on one of the bleeding cuts.

“You really cut me?” I look over at Wesley. He grins, shooting me a wink before taking another drag of his cigarette.

“I’d do it again. And again… and again,” Wesley says, blowing out a stream of smoke. “Until you’re covered in my marks.”

I shouldn’t love this, any of this. It’s fucked up, and none of it was called for. Yet, I’m not mad. And, let’s be honest, up until almost drowning in their jizz, I found it hot.

“What are you not going to do again?” Jasper asks me when he’s done.

“Lie,” I mutter.

“You’re not going to go anywhere that could pose a threat to you without telling one of us. You’re our girl now, and while that comes with power, it also comes with a target on your back. Don’t make us lose you, Lotus Flower.” Jasper grips my chin. “We wouldn’t survive it.”

“I’m sorry,” I murmur, my chest tightening. I hate that I upset them. “I promise, I won’t do it again.”

He nods, letting go of my chin and leaning down to press a kiss to my forehead.

“Let’s go home,” he says before leaning back.

“Home sounds nice. I could sleep for days,” I sigh, closing my eyes.
