It’s Nyla.

What are we even doing here?

She’s Nala to me.

Jade was currently fucking her with her fingers as I pumped my dick over Nala’s bare stomach, my ex yelling at us to come together. Nala screamed and I gave in, my cum coating her flesh as I continued to stroke myself. God, we had been at this for nearly two hours, and I never wanted to stop. Clothes had been shed, drinks ordered, and a general haze of constant sex and pleasure explored.

Jade stared at the mess I had made, Nala sprawled out on the bench, completely spent. My wonderful women had no idea the plans I had for them, both of them adorable little pawns in a much bigger plan. My ex grinned completely unaware of her true role, spreading her fingers through my release before sucking them into her mouth and moaning her appreciation for my taste.

I watched Nala come down from her high, knowing that I would continue for another round if we had the time.

Fuck that’s a rush. Wait… Finn, don’t…

I pushed Daemon back into the room to keep from messing with my concentration and waited for Nala to look at me. At first, that dreamy smile sat on her face until she picked up the sinister deviance in my expression. Her breath caught in her throat as she scrambled back from the two of us, holding out a hand to stop the promise behind my sinister gaze. “Wait—I know that look, what the fuck did you—"

“Should have asked those questions before we brought you in here sweetheart. Starting over? Fuck, you sold Killian out, and for what, a little story? And you thought I was here to make it all okay? Hun, sweetheart,bunny, I am not here to make amends. I’m here to remove my issues. Permanently.”

My mind drifted to the board in my room, three pictures with their faces carved out—Gwen and Dr. Lewis had happily been the first two. Nala—Nyla, whatever her name was—would be my third indulgence into this new life I was crafting for myself. Ihadn’t chosen my fourth victim yet but there werea lotof faces to choose from.

Nala screamed and I just stared, unamused by the high-pitched sound. I wondered if Slash enjoyed this part and then remembered he loved the terror in their expression and their pleas but not the screams themselves. They brought attention and were always so exaggerated. Like, I wasn’t currently touching her and she was still screaming, her chest heaving for air as I stood there, waiting for that mouth to close.

Despite how pliant she had been a few moments ago, I wiped the memories of fucking her this evening from my mind. All this screaming was ruining it. Especially since no one could hear her within these walls. I had made sure of it. After all, these private rooms required a little bit of money so everything that happened herestayed in here.

I chewed on my lip ring, still waiting. This night was the true beginning of righting the wrongs. Killian wasn’t my favorite of the three alters but someone disrespecting him meant that that someone was also disrespecting me. That wasn’t allowed. Granted, Nala had absolutely no idea who she was messing with at the time but that was on her. She should have seen the darkness in my eyes before we ever got to that point. She also should have just stayed a decent person.

Daemon tried pushing against that door and I sighed, knowing that they weren’t going to like this next part. I didn’t really care.

Jade dangled her hand out, wiggling her fingers. Her breasts heaved with a permanent blush, sweat slicked to her skin as her eyes glittered with a happiness I hadn’t seen in years. “Can I make the first cut?”

My hand slid around the back of her neck as I pulled her into a deep kiss. She arched against me, my other hand squeezing her tit to draw out her pleasure. When I pulled back, she was panting for air, still waiting for my answer. “Of course, anything for you baby.” The word ‘baby’ sat like ash on my tongue but it was all for the plan.Everythingfor the plan. My men would be so proud of me. Eventually. First they would be angry but they’d understand.

Jade placed a peck on my lips before grabbing my knife from the pants I had discarded an hour ago. Then she charged toward Nala.

Nala’s eyes widened as she held up her hands. “What the fuck? Killian—Finn! What are you doing?” Her pleas continued and then the screaming started again. I’m not sure what she thought was going to happen when the first bout of screaming hadn’t produced results. Even so, I let Jade handle it as she approached, holding the blade above her head and then slicing down to take off a few of my coworker’s fingers.

Pride bled through me at the sharpness of my knife, my dick thickening between my thighs at the horror plastered on Nala’s face. Blood spurt from the new wounds, my favorite crimson river rushing down her hand and arm before falling to the floor.Oh, tonight was going to beglorious.Even more so when I called Samael to clean up this mess. He tried to make out that I was just a crazy, unhinged bitch but being in charge of these scenes got him hard.

Maybe this would be our thing?

I could kill with Slash, bring food to Aeron, and leave scenes for Samael. See? I wasperfectfor my men. They just needed to see it.

However, tonight I was going to lean into my new persona—The Unknown. My very first kill had been absent the chaos and blood. Slash’s foster mother had been a brutal, tortured killing but this last one had been the most fun. Watching the life die from Gwen's eyes as I left her in her own pool of blood? It was perfect. Just as tonight would be.

Nala’s death would be chaotic and gruesome. This entire room would bleed with her lifeless body. And then I would leave it to Samael to paint the picture he needed to. My father already knew I was Finn,theFinn. It would only be a matter of time before he had to make a choice. Throw me in jail or protect me. The last time he protected me, he ran with me in tow to start a new life.

This time, I was hoping I got a little more time to play before he had to make a choice.

The screaming finally stopped, Jade jabbing the blade just right into Nala’s neck. She grinned at her accomplishmentbefore turning to me. “I hope you have another blade. You pull that out and she’ll bleed to death.”

“You made her stop screaming,” I mused. If she wasn’t part of the plan, I would tell her I loved her. Not actual love but enough to spare her the fate that the next plan would afford her.

Nodding to my pants, Jade retrieved a smaller blade, one much better suited for the filet we were about to conduct. Slash had better be proud of me after this because I learned this technique from him, watching in the shadows as he prepared his victims for the public.

Jade was merciless in her next cuts, blood splattering across the room as she began her artwork. I stood a few inches away, swiping my hand through the blood gathered on my chest. Then, while staring at Nala, I reached down to grab my dick, giving it long, slow strokes. She was in pain, the life fleeting from her eyes but I wanted her to see how much enjoyment I was deriving from this.

That the sight of her blood and her demise was bringing me to the brink of an orgasm. A devilish grin spread across my face as I came, my gaze never leaving Nala’s. Only when I was done did I hold out my hand for the blade.

Because now it was my turn.
