Contracts were signed and too many of us didn’t read the fine print. Myself included. But I don’t mind the servitude. It’s a chance to live.
“You know the rules, Phantom.” I look up at the black ceiling. “No leaving your post without approval.”
I roll my neck and look him in his ice-cool grey eyes. I know that look well and smirk. He’s intrigued. I don’t blame him. My girl has something that calls to my inner beast, and obviously I’m not the only one feeling it.
“I don’t recall giving you permission.” Talon’s demeanor is deadly as he flicks his tongue over his sharpened canines. It’s almost unfair how otherworldly and seductive the vampires look. As if they’ve been sculpted to purposefully lure us under their captivating beauty. “Do you remember me giving you permission?”
“No.”
He stands to his full height, a whole five inches taller than when he was alive. “No?”
In a blink he goes from the other end of the room to inches away from my face. Using his vampire speed to intimidate me. His form towers over me and his musky scent fills the air. I’m so close, I could lick his Adam’s Apple.
“No, sir.”
His finger traces my jawline, reaching through the planes of existence to where my solid form resides, and touches my skin. “If you want to play with this human, you’ll be playing with me, or not at all.” His hand moves down my body and cups my semi-hard cock. “Do you want to play, Phantom?”
I’m well aware of Talon’s reputation, but the temptation for a little fun is too much to pass up.
“Where is she now?” I ask, and he smirks, stroking my length into a full hard on. I thrust into his hand, letting him feel how big and ready I am.
“The church.” His tongue licks across my bottom lip, canines digging in. A drop of blood coats his teeth and his dark eyelashes flutter closed as he tastes me.
“Do we have a deal?” He asks, still working my dick. His hard cock presses against my lower belly. The scent of arousal lingers between us as we strike a deal to hunt for our precious prey, together.
“Deal. Once we find her, we share her.” I agree and feel the deal we’ve made slide into place.
“Let’s go capture our little ghoul.” He says, backing away and shifting before my eyes into his bat form.
A distant howl rips through the room as we set into the night to stalk our prey. Together.
Chapter 6
Olivia
The room I’m in is a replica of the movieScream’sgarage. Complete with an animatronic kicking their legs while being trapped in the garage door that looks as if it’s going up and down. An unhinged laugh filters through the air as I search for the exit. Turning around, I realize I can’t go out the way I came in because it’s been closed off. How the hell did that happen? I didn’t even hear it close.
My head spins trying to find how to leave this room. All I want is to get back home, put on my coziest pajamas, and pretend like this night never happened.
Distant screams keep penetrating the air, surrounding me as I finally spot the way out. It looks like I’ll have to squeeze my body through the dangling mannequin’s legs as they flail about.
“Where do you think you’re going sweetie? Don’t you want to play a game before you go?”
A figure dressed in the iconicGhostfacecostume comes out of nowhere, I don’t even know how he was able to get the sealed room, but his raised knife has me scrambling. My feet trip over the boxes and I come down hard, knees and palms kissing the ground. Fuck, it hurts.
The figure laughs darkly, getting close enough that he grabs me by my hair, knife to my throat. The cool steel makes me think for a brief second that it’s real and fear floods my veins, making my entire body shake.
“P-please. Let me go.” I’m not above begging. Tears sting at my eyes while the man pushes in closer, mask pressing against my ear while he crouches down over me.
“Mmm. I love the smell of your fear.” He presses into my ass, and I can feel how hard he is.
“Get off me!” I yell, wishing that I hadn’t let go of Callie’s hand. Wishing I’d never even come here in the first place.
“No, little ghoul. I think you like it. I think you want to be fucked and touched.” He runs his leather clad hands down my neck and spine as he sits right on my ass, pulling my hair and making my back arch until it hurts.
He presses into me, rocking on my body as I lay helpless beneath him. I can’t even move my legs to kick him off.
My entire body shivers as he grinds himself into me, hitting that sensitive spot that has my skin feeling like it’s on fire.
