I thrust against his fingers, imagining what it would feel like if he were actually inside him. Fuck. I can’t fucking take it anymore.

“I’m going to come,” I say breathlessly.

“I feel it,” Reen says.

Cupping my hands on his cheeks, my mouth moves with his as his fingers slip out of me and rub hard against my clit. I moan through intense kisses, my legs buckling until I lean against the wall, hitching breaths while I come undone.

Sweat slips down my forehead from the heat of Reen and the flames. As I wipe it away, I notice Xavier. Fuck. I forgot he was there and watching.

Reen’s hands move to my hips, and I slide down until I am planted on the ground. He leans into me, his hot breath brushing against my ear as he says, “Did you want me to kill him?”

“No,” I say as I touch his waist, unclip the buckle and glide the dagger out, “I've got this.”

A wicked grin spreads across his face as he steps away.

I move to Xavier and touch his shoulder until he looks at me. “You’re so fucked in the head, Pandora.”

My eyes widen, and I tilt my head to the side in bewilderment. “Me? The girl you raped repeatedly.”

“I didn’t fucking ra—” His nostrils flare. “You were so fucking wet when I was inside you. Even if you said ‘no’, your body wanted it.”

“Okay,” I breathe. “If you’re basing it on what I want from body language, I guess you shouldn’t get mad when I do this, right?”

“What?”

I grip Xavier between the legs and slice the dagger across the fabric. His limp dick grips tight in my hand as it cuts away from his body. As he cries out, I slam my palm into his face, forcing it down his throat. Leaning up to his ear, I tilt my head to the side and say in a voice lacking any form of emotion, “Choke on this.”

Xavier stumbles back, hitting the wall and sinking to the ground with his member sticking out of his mouth. Tears spring to his eyes when I stand over him with the dagger clenched in my hand. “When someone says ‘no’, no matter how fucking wet they are, listen to their fucking words, not their body,” I say.

Reen chuckles darkly. “Come, let him bleed out while I show you to your room.”

Stepping away from Xavier, I reach for my captor’s hand, excited about what will come next on this journey with him and where we will end up. I still want my freedom. That motive is set in stone. And as much as it pains me, I will find a way out of this castle, with or without Reen.
