“My whole life has been dominated by men controlling it, and I’m just a fucking pawn being placed where they want me to be. Shit, even before I was born, I was running from a man!”
I move away, pacing as my hands run through my hair, but I can’t stop the flow of words that blurt out of me.
“M–my mum was killed because of a man. A man forced me to marry Ash. A man fucking kidnapped me. All because of what, Kai? Why do they think they can just take and take, never bothering to let me make my own choices?” I know I’m practically shouting now, tears streaming down my cheeks as I throw my hands wide, then drop them down at my sides, defeated.
“I just want to be able to make my own decisions, choose my own destiny. Is that too much to ask?”
I turn to him, my shoulders slumped as I sob quietly, feeling so beaten.
“And the worst part?” I ask, looking up at him through blurry eyes. He just stands there, jaw working as if it’s taking a gargantuan effort not to rush over and hold me as I break. “It’s not over. They’re still out there. What fresh hell will be next, Kai?”
“Lilly—” he starts, losing the battle within himself and striding over to me, wrapping me up in his embrace and pulling me so close I can feel his pounding heart matching the rhythm of my own.
“We are all fucking pawns to them, my darling,” he tells me, his own voice growling with frustration.
He pulls back a little, placing a finger under my chin and raising it to meet his gaze.
“But I swear to you on everything that I am, you will get your pound of flesh. You will be free, we all will.”
I stare up into his face, his eyes a savage amber flame with his vow.
“I liked hurting him, Kai,” I confess in a whisper, saying aloud what I’ve barely even admitted to myself. “I liked taking that gun and making him bleed.”
I watch his reaction intently, my heart racing for an entirely different reason now.
What if, after all this time, this admission is too much?
I’m not the same Lilly who walked into this dormitory less than a year ago, hurting but with clean hands.
Yet if anyone can understand this craving for violence, it’s my dark Knights.
His beautiful mouth curves up into a smile that may give some men nightmares, but I relish in its depravity.
“That’s because you are a warrior queen, made to shed the blood of our enemies,” he tells me, a fierce pride in his tone as one hand comes up to stroke down the side of my face. “And you are perfect, Lilly Vanderbilt. Just right for us.”
A shiver runs down my spine at his words, my inner demon preening at his praise and acceptance.
After all, what better way to defeat the monsters that plague us than by becoming monstrous ourselves?
“Wait here,” Kai orders, placing a soft kiss on my cheek, his fingers trailing down my arm and leaving goosebumps in their wake. Anticipation swirls in my lower stomach as I watch him walk across the room and up the spiral staircase.
I hear quiet murmurs from upstairs, my breath speeding up when multiple footsteps start to descend the stairs. All four of my Knights alight at the bottom, Jax, Ash, and Loki looking deliciously sleep rumpled as they surround me in a wide circle.
It’s A Man’s World by Jurnee Smollett-Bell and Black Canary begins to play over the speakers, and I take in a deep inhale as one by one they all sink to their knees.
“Use us, Princess,” Ash says, his voice deep and husky, his tattooed chest bathed in moonlight.
“Take back control, Pretty Girl,” Loki adds, his eyes twinkling in the dark.
I swallow hard, my breath leaving my lungs in a shudder as I fill with love for these men, men who are all naturally alpha but are willing to set that aside to give me what I need right now.
Reaching down, I pull my tank over my head, my nipples hardening underneath their heated gazes.
Next, I shimmy out of my panties, and I relish in the sharp inhales that sound around me as I stand naked before them.
“She’s going to kill us,” Loki rasps under his breath, and a bark of delighted laughter leaves my lips.
“Nah, I like your cocks too much for that, Pretty Boy,” I sass him, and his lips tip up into a grin that turns salacious as I step towards him, running my fingers through his hair before grabbing a fistful and tugging his head back. “Lie back,”
Releasing my grip, he obeys, lying on his back with his head in the centre of the circle the others have created.
“Good boy,” I praise.
“Sexiest fucking thing ever,” he groans, adjusting his tented sweatpants.
“Glad that you think so,” I reply, arching a brow at him and loving the sense of power I feel at bossing Loki around.
I can only imagine what it’ll be like to boss all of them.
“Now, you’re going to lick me out like you’re starving, and the rest of you will watch but no touching yourselves.
” A thrill runs through me as I look at each of them.
“Yes, ma’am.” Loki salutes, and I can’t stop the grin that tugs my lips upwards.
“Anything you say, Princess,” Ash drawls in a low voice, and my eyes dart down to see his sweats straining at the crotch.
I look at Kai, who gives me a disarming smile. “As you wish, darling.”
“Yes, my Queen.” Finally, I look at Jax as he answers, and a full-body shiver cascades over my skin at the term. I like that coming from his lips, a lot if the wetness seeping down my thighs is any indication.
“Good,” I state, turning my attention back to Loki, lying there patiently waiting for me.
I walk over to him, placing my feet just under his armpits and making my way to my knees, facing the others.
It’s not as graceful as it used to be, but with the noise of manly desire that he makes low in his throat, I don’t care.
He wants me, regardless if I’m becoming more whale-like with each day.
“Jesus, Pretty Girl, you smell fucking divine,” he moans, his hands grasping the globes of my arsecheeks and pulling me closer to his waiting mouth.
I gasp as his tongue makes a slow pass from my opening to my clit and back again, delving inside my channel and swirling around.
“I can taste them inside you, baby,” he rasps, his voice muffled.
“It’s rude to talk with your mouth full,” I say back, my voice low and husky with the pleasure that he’s already giving me.
His chuckle vibrates across my core and a deep moan leaves my lips at the feel of him between my thighs.
Without saying anything else, he dives in so to speak, licking and sucking like I really am his last meal on earth, and it’s all I can do to hold on, my head thrown back in ecstasy.
My knees dig into the rug beneath us, but I hardly feel the ache as I hurtle towards a climax that I know will shake my very being.
“Loki…” I whine, my eyelids fluttering closed as I lose myself to the please that his naughty tongue is giving me.
More quickly than I’d like to admit, he builds me up until I’m shaking above him, my hands curled into fists and stars begin to burst behind my closed lids. He doubles his efforts, and soon I’m hurtling down the rabbit hole, crying out and soaking his face with the force of my orgasm.
He stills underneath me whilst I pant and sweat drips down my spine. Moving back a little to give him some breathing space, I glance down to see his mouth and chin glistening in the moonlight.
“Good boy,” I breathe out again, and he chuckles deeply once more, his hands flexing on my arse.
“I aim to please, my Queen.”
His smile grows wider as he feels my thighs clench. I really do like that term.
I tear my gaze away from him, my eyes finding Jax’s, his stare intense and making my already hard nipples tighten. An idea springs into my head, and suddenly I’m desperate to feel him inside me whilst I ride that monster cock.
“Your turn to watch, Pretty Boy,” I tell Loki, crawling off him and over to Jax. “Lose the pants,” I order, kneeling in front of him. One of his blond eyebrows raises at my command.
Without a word spoken, he does as I request, his huge dick springing free and my mouth waters at the sight of the bead of precum glistening at the tip.
Unable to resist, I lean down and lick it off, the hiss of breath that leaves his lips making my insides flutter.
Straightening up, I look him in the eye, the desire in his stare almost burning me with its intensity.
“Your turn to lie down, big boy. Same position as Loki so the others can see my face.”
The song changes to Right Here by Chase Atlantic as Jax does my bidding, again remaining silent as he gets into position. I wet my lips as I watch him, marvelling that this powerful man, these powerful men, are so quick to obey me. It’s a heady aphrodisiac.
On my hands and knees again, I crawl over his body, my knees settling on either side of his hips, my legs spread wide to accommodate his size.
Taking his shaft in my hand, I give it a few pumps just because I can and I love the way his hips jerk when I do.
Then I place him at my opening, using touch to feel my way as my stomach now prevents me from seeing what I’m doing.
His hands come up to rest on my thighs, his fingers digging in as I slowly sink down, a deep, keening moan leaving my lips as I take him all the way to the hilt.
“Fuck, baby,” he hisses out, his eyes leaving the place that we’re joined and rolling to the back of his head.
“I intend to,” I quip, wasting no time and moving my hips in a way that has him massaging my inner walls.
“You look so fucking beautiful like that, Queen,” Ash tells me, and I look up to catch his scorching stare as he watches us, his hand drifting to his clearly rigid member. My core tightens around Jax at the nickname, making him groan deeply.
“Same rules as before Vanderbilt, no touching,” I tell him and I pick up the pace, Jax helping me to move up and down more on him.
