Page 28 of Breaking Sanity

“Interesting indeed,” Baron utters.

“Melanie is in medical. Once the guards got both of them broken apart. They were escorted there. Alley was cleared but Mel was not. I had a guard take Alley to her room.”

“Damn it,” Vaughn heaves.

“Alley has to stay alive for now. Mel’s contract has been up for months, so if she dies it affects nothing.” I shrug. Melanie is useful and I can’t say I am not a little attached to her.

She is a fucking pawn and still needed. Alley should’ve never touched what wasn’t hers.

“Keep telling yourself that brother.” Vaughn winks.

He whisks Carson away, leaving Baron, Gunner, and I alone. I take a deep breath and throw my cigarette butt into the dark. If I am being honest, I’m not mad about Mel being hurt.

“Carson needs to stay the fuck away from Alley,” Gunner says glaring at their retreating forms.

“I am not sure that is possible.” Baron places his hand on his shoulder. “If not him, then he’ll try to use Vaughn to get to her.”

“What do you mean?” I join their conversations.

“Alley, from what I’ve read in her medical records, seems to have a savior complex. I am betting that one look atAnnie, and she will protect her by any means necessary. It will pose a problem is all I am saying. ”

He knew what he was doing. The slimy shit was probably watching the cameras and saw Gunner’s reaction to protecting her. She is a threat to him.

“You’re right. Fuck,” Gunner concedes, turning on his heel and heading back to the compound.

“Is he back?” Baron leans back on the brick looking up at the stars.

“I am not sure, yet.”

“Yet?”

“Yes, yet.”

“This should be interesting.”

He pushes off the brick and stalks back the way he came. Leaving me alone with my own thoughts and his. My alter personality is back.

Caine has been dormant for a few years but I can feel him in full swing right now. It’s hard to keep him inside when he is out and about. I would describe Caine as a combinationof myself and Gunner. He could never have the patience of Baron, nor the structure of Vaughn. Although he may rival Carson’s need to burn everything to the ground.

Caine at least lets me take the reins most of the time and when it comes to sex we are both there for the most part. He doesn’t usually come out for Melanie or even Piper for that matter.

I will for Alley. I want to feel her lips around our cock. Remember what Vaughn said, she didn’t even flinch when he jammed his fingers down her throat, just teared up. You know what that means?

“No gag reflex,” I think aloud.

Plus I am dying to get my hands on that body of hers.

I can’t say I blame him either. I want to get my hands on her soft skin again. I don’t think I have ever seen anyone with a skin tone that practically glows in the sunlight like a reflective white flag. Well it could be a finish flag with the amount of bruises that are scattered across her body. I bet the worse ones are on her side from jumping out of the car.

I bet she cries if we tear into them like she tore into our side.

My free hand mindlessly starts to stroke the bandage covering her bite. I want it to scar so that it gives me an excuse to do the same to her. That is actually when Caine really came to life. He started to quietly bitch when she fucking tagged me in the head with a rock, a first may I add. Then when she maneuvered herself like her spine didn’t exist and bit like a starving zombie, he almost broke to the surface. Probably to kill her, but now it’s both fuck and kill her.

“She’s not ours,” I gripe, lighting another cigarette for this conversation. “She is off limits until we get the official green light.”

If it happens, it happens.

He will be getting us both killed sooner or later but I’d rather it not be because I pissed off Gunner. I have watched him for the past decade pine over her. Shit half of purgatory is full because of his obsession with her. I’ve seen the aftermath of losing some people he loved and rather not have a repeat. That may have been years ago but it has had lasting effects.
