Heat flushes my cheeks, and my nipples harden. It’s been a long time since I was in a good threesome with bisexual men.

Jade pulls me from the steamy scene before me, and tugs me through the crowd and over to the bar. I don’t get a moment to settle before I’m hoisted over someone’s shoulders as they take off through the crowd.

My heart begins to beat so hard that I think it might explode from my chest when I finally find my voice. “Put me the fuck down, asshole,” I shout, banging my fists against whichever dick grabbed me’s back.

“That’s not very nice, zina l-m?????.” At the sound of that name, I know it’s Colt.

He slides me down the expanse of his body, pausing only to press my chest into his before helping me stand. “Would you be nice to a random person throwing you over their shoulder and running away with you?” I challenge.

Nodding his understanding, he replies, “Point taken.”

I turn, preparing to exit the room, when his arms wrap around my waist. “Did we say you could leave?” Another person questions, and I realize it’s not just the two of us in here.

Whirling around, I see three other masked people, and my hackles rise. Candace’s warnings slam back to the forefront of my mind.

“They want to destroy you.”

Taking two steps closer to the door, I gauge the distance to see if I can make it out of this room without being stopped. “What’s going on?” I inquire, proud when the fear riding me doesn’t cause me to stutter.

“We just want to have a quick chat with you.”

“Coop?”

He bows. “The one and only.”

My shoulders relax slightly, grateful to know two of the four people in this room.

That doesn’t mean you’re safe, Eva Rose.The truth in my thoughts reminds me I may still be in danger here.

“Relax,” Colter commands, resting a hand on my shoulder to keep me in place. “We just want to go over some ground rules for tonight.”

My gaze flits from side to side. “Ground rules?”

“Yes, Eva,” Cooper says. “This is your friendly reminder that you can’t say no—no is not in your vocabulary when dealing with anything we ask of you. Do you understand?”

I hesitate, but nod.

“Good,” Colter sighs. “We’re going to add some people to the fun.”

I watch as he points to the two unknown people in the room. “But we won’t reveal who they are until we want to,” Coop finishes.

Trepidation and excitement war within me. It’s not lost on me how far away I am from being meek and scared in this moment. It’s a breath of fresh air from the stifling and oppressive prison my mind usually has me locked in.

This is what I yearn for. It’s why sex is my escape. The thrill of being free is intoxicating.

“Now text your friends, so they don’t send out a search party,” Colt commands, and I quickly shoot off a message, letting them know I’m good.

“Hand me your phone.” I hesitate, biting my lip before I ultimately follow Colt’s instruction. “Good girl,” he whispers in my ear, nipping my neck before he lifts his head.

Smiling, I clench my hands at my side in an attempt to hide my excitement, but fail. A small giggle squeaks out before I’m yanked by my neck into another hard chest. “You should be more afraid, Eva Rose Pierce.” They spit my name like it’s poisonous, and my earlier glee is stomped out by fear. “Now run,” they command, releasing my neck. And I do just that without looking back.

Spinning, I desperately search for my friends. I know they wouldn’t leave me, but my earlier text would put them at ease. Now, I’m phoneless and running from danger. I make it down the hall when I see familiar faces.

Darting over, I rest my hand on his bicep. “Lev, you have to get me out of here.”

Confusion knits my brow when not only am I met with silence, but I also face the hostile glares of the other heirs. “Get the fuck off him unless you have plans never to make it to the next stage in your life,” Owen snaps as Wes, Sebastian, and Wyatt shout and move everybody back.

I drop my hand like I’m acid against Lev’s skin, watching in horror as his body stiffens in a battle for control.
