I caught a flash of movement in the corner of my eyes and saw Archer's phone go flying through the air.
It struck Lotz-Moore on the temple with a thwack. He scowled, stunned and angry.
"Good work, Hardwick," Boner called out.
"Hard…" Archer started to correct him. "Right. Thanks."
I look that moment to snatch up a dildo that looked like it belonged to an elephant and slam it across the side of Lotz-Moore's face.
His eyes widened and he shook his head before dropping to his knees.
Faster than I could have imagined, Cass had a handful of shibari rope wrapped around the man's throat.
"Don't fucking move," he growled.
"And now I'm hard," Boner said.
"Fucking hell," Jules whispered. He was staring at Cass like he couldn't believe what he was seeing. "That's my little brother." He grinned.
Cass grinned back, even as he was tightening the rope around Lotz-Moore's neck.
Lotz-Moore himself was blinking, eyes bulging. His air was rapidly being cut off, his face turning red. Slowly, he keeled over to the side before landing on the floor with a thump.
"We win, motherfucker," Boner said. He pumped the air with his fist.
"We need to get out of here." If backup was actually coming, I wanted to be long gone before they arrived.
Jules stepped over to pick up Lotz-Moore's arms while Cass picked up his feet. They carried him toward the door while Boner scooted around, grabbing up as many sex toys as he could hold, before he followed us out the door.
CHAPTER 23
HARLOW
"Zeus is a really fancy name for someone who isn't very fancy." I stepped around my torture box.
Lotz-Moore crouched inside, ball gag in his mouth. His ankles were zip tied. Hands bound with a pair of fluffy pink handcuffs.
Boner's touch. He'd insisted on the addition. Honestly, it was perfect.
"He reminds me of a raccoon," Boner said. "All scrunched down like that." He mimicked Lotz- Moore's position. Sniffing at him like an actual trash panda.
Lotz-Moore glared back at him.
"Hey, asshole." Boner tapped on the perspex beside the man's head. "I'm not scared of you. You're in the box and I'm not. Do you know what happens in this box?”
He seemed to be enjoying this, so I sat back to watch.
"See that tap there?" Boner pointed. "We're going to turn that on. Water is going to drip out of there. Slowly.Nice and slow." He drew the words out for emphasis.
"Sooner or later, it's going to reach here." He touched his Adam's apple with the side of his hand.
"Then it's going to come up a little bit more." His hand hovered in front of his mouth. "Then some more." He moved his hand up to his eyes. "And then…" He held his hand over his head.
"No more you."
Lotz-Moore bash his shoulder against the side of the box, as if somehow that would get him out of there and save him from the inevitable.
"I think he likes the idea." Boner grinned up at me. "He could do with a good wash."
