His eyes fell to my lips, at least I think they did, everything was going blurry, black spots dancing in front of my eyes, I couldn’t be sure of anything anymore. “Not if someone pays.” His eyes lifted to mine. “In money or…” His eyes shifted, a smile touchinghis lips as if he came to some sick conclusion and was getting off on it. “Something else.”

I felt my entire body flood with warmth, my limbs tingling, my head spinning as my legs gave out and I landed right on his knee.

My eyes rolled to the back of my head as he adjusted his grip just enough to allow me to breathe.

I inhaled sharply, my other hand threading into his as he moved his knee back and forth slowly. “Please,” I pleaded, sliding my hand up to where his still wrapped around my throat. But I wasn’t trying to pull it away now, my mind was spinning, my stomach tightening as his fingers tightened around mine, pressing my hand deeper into the wall. He shifted his other hand up, pressing his fingers and thumb right under my jaw and squeezed.

My head fell back against the wall, my entire body vibrating as I tried to force it down.

He leaned in until his lips hovered above mine, until his air seeped into me, filling me with that warmth that suddenly seemed far too hot. “Stop holding back.”

I couldn’t feel my toes. Every inch of my body suddenly needed to be touched, and I hated it. I hated this so much, but fuck, it felt so good. This couldn’t be right. It couldn’t be, I was sure of it. Something was terribly wrong.

I felt his mouth open a little further, as if he were getting ready to kiss me, to…

His hand released my neck, and everything tightened and released at the same time, explosions of warmth crackling up and down my bones as the orgasm ripped through me almost painfully.

I couldn’t help the strangled cry that left my lips as he kept moving his knee between my legs, his lips still hovering above mine as if he wanted to swallow the sounds and keep them forever.

I couldn’t breathe, nothing felt real. Everything felt hazy and dreamlike as I tried to force my eyes open, the spots slowly clearing.

He looked down on me, searching my eyes, his own now black with something I had never seen before. Something without words.

He removed his knee from between my legs and I had to catch the wall before I collapsed to the ground, my legs like Jello. He stepped back, his expression suddenly dry. “Consider thathalfof your first payment. Steven has yet to be forgiven, and until the debt is paid in full, both of you are now on the hook for repaying it.” He glanced back towards the entrance of the alley, studying it for a moment before turning back to me. “Get home, and take a goddamn cab,” he ordered before disappearing into the shadows.

I was left standing there like an absolute loon. I couldn’t catch my breath and my stomach was twisting. Everything felt strange as if I was no longer Olivia Rose or Olivia Lemont or Abigail Ross. As if I were someone completely…other.

Shame and hatred washed over me. That was wrong. A body just didn’t do something like that. I needed to go to the doctor because that wasn’t an orgasm. Maybe I was broken. Maybe all of those nights Steven had forced me into having sex ruined me.

I swallowed back the tears and shoved myself away from the wall, walking unsteadily to the sidewalk to call a cab home. I didn’t want to do what he said, but there was no way I was walking another ten feet like this.

What the Hell was wrong with me?

Those books had fucked me up. I was sick and twisted and I deserved to be committed.

Ihad this under control. She was too fucking psychotic to be successful with just pure torture, so this was the next best step. To nurture and call out her dirty little secret. We had to get our payments by any means necessary, Malachi taught us that. Well, this stubborn cunt got off on our regular means, so now we had to escalate it.

I’d still get the money from that piece of shit boyfriend of hers, but there was no reason why I couldn’t have some fun on the side too.

It was just fucking pussy. Nothing magical by any means, but something I could have fun with too.

Fuck me though, she had looked so goddamn good orgasming like that. So wild, so…very much her first time.

I definitely didn’t pop her pretty little cherry, but maybe it was time to go back through the videos I had of her. I caughther masturbating six times, that should be enough to answer the questions I had, until then, I needed to make sure she got home without that tail on her.

Because whoever that was, it wasn’t one of ours. Even our greenest Initiates knew how to keep themselves from being caught. Whoever that man had been, he certainly didn’t belong to Malachi. That meant one of a few things. One, Olivia had a fan who wanted to do dirty things to her, or two, Steven had wracked up more than one debt with more than one person, and I couldn’t have that. The debt he and his girlfriend were paying needed to go to us first. After that? Well, this other person could have them if we didn’t kill them first, but nobody was getting their hands on our clients until after we got what was owed to us.

I got on my bike at the end of the alley, and raced down the block, meeting her cab at the four-way streetlight moments later.

She was sitting in the back of the cab, staring at nothing, her fingers grazing her lips, her eyes distant. I studied her carefully before glancing behind her, searching the sidewalks, the street, nothing looked out of place. And why would it? She was on the move now, and as far as I could tell, that man didn’t have a vehicle. Still, if there were others after her, for whatever reason, I wanted to know.

I couldn’t have some psychotic super-fan getting in the way of my payments, let alone another shark.
