It sets off an explosion inside me, and I cry out my release, throwing my head back and feeling the gush between my legs, coating Loki's hand.

I sit there, legs spread, panting, as my whole body tingles in the aftermath of my climax.

“There should be a clean towel in the gym bag down there,” I hear Jax grumble. He sounds so pissed, and I’m too spent to stifle a giggle.

I moan as Loki withdraws his fingers and hand, then seconds later, I hear the zip of a bag, before I feel a soft towel between my legs.

“I fear the dress needs a dry cleaner,” I groan out, managing to muster enough energy to unbuckle my seatbelt, then turn my back to Kai, wordlessly asking him to unzip me. He complies, brushing his fingers down my spine, sending more shivers skittering over me.

I manage to wiggle out of the dress, leaving it in a shimmering pile on the floor at my feet, and leaving me in my lace corset, thong, red stockings, and heels.

Loki groans, his head thumping the headrest.

“She's trying to fucking kill us, I swear,” he laments, eyes closed.

“Pass me that bag, you numpty,” I say with a smile, still kneeling on the seat. I feel hands wrap around my hips and look behind me to see Kai holding onto me.

“You're not buckled in, Lilly love,” he tells me, and my heart skips at the endearment.

“Why the fuck isn't she...” I hear Jax start, then stop abruptly. I look up to see his gaze once again in the mirror. His blue eyes burn with a fire so intense my breath hitches.

“Eyes on the fucking road, Jax!” Ash shouts as the truck swerves, Ash's hand on the wheel. “Lilly, put some fucking clothes on,” Ash admonishes, turning to look at me.

He can't hide the heat that is still there in his gaze. Feeling playful, I stick my tongue out at him, and his eyes narrow in response.

“Naughty, Lilly,” Loki chuckles, holding the bag open for me to look inside. My choice is limited as it's Jax's gym bag.

Ah, this'll do nicely! I think as I take out a black tank top with a white skull printed on the front. Pulling it over my head, it falls to mid thigh, just exposing the tops of my red lacy stockings. The armholes are huge, gaping down to my waist and flashing my lace corset, but it'll do.

“Better?” I ask Ash, an eyebrow raised.

“Marginally,” he quips back, nostrils flared and turning to face the front once again.

“Not fucking better,” I hear Jax grunt from the driver's seat.

I sit back down and buckle myself in, just as we pull off the main road and down a dirt track. Luckily, the truck's suspension is pretty good, and the road isn't too bumpy. We drive down the track for about ten minutes, before the headlights swing over a wooden cabin standing in a clearing.

It's two stories, in what looks like an L shape, though it's hard to tell in the dark. There's a front door under a porch that's made up from the overhang of the first floor. I can see windows, but they're all dark. The place looks in good condition, but not like it's used that often.

We park up in front, everyone sitting still for a moment in silence.

“Last chance to back out, Princess,” Ash mocks like the arsehole that he is, turning to face me once more.

I just shake my head, unable to utter a word. The butterflies are back, only now it feels like they've got barbs on the end of their wings, scratching and digging into my insides.

“You all know the drill,” Ash states cryptically, unbuckling his seatbelt and opening the door, which lets in a blast of cold air that travels across my skin, pebbling my nipples to hard points, and I shudder.

“Anytime you want to leave, just say the word,” Kai insists, bringing my gaze to him. Again, I just nod. I can't seem to speak, my mouth as dry as the desert.

He stares into my eyes for a moment longer, then reaches over to unbuckle me, and then himself. He opens his door and gets out, holding out his hand for me to take.

I inhale deeply and place my hand in his, letting him help me out of the truck, letting go of his hand and then shutting the door behind me.

Before I can take a step towards the house, Jax is in front of me, still just wearing his He-Man costume, looking fucking delicious.

He backs me up against the side of the truck, his eyes devouring me in his tank, and my cherry red underwear.

His knuckles tickle down the open armhole of the tank, caressing the side of my breast.

“It looks better on you,” he rumbles, his hand wrapping around the front of my throat with a growl. Slamming his lips against mine, he leaves me no choice but to open to him. His tongue plunders my mouth, possessing me completely and totally, and I can feel his massive hard on pressed against me.

Pulling away, his blue eyes are locked on me, churning with lust. We're both breathing hard, our breath fogging in the cool night air. I do a full body shiver with cold, as well as a healthy dollop of lust, and that seems to break the spell.

“Let's get you inside,” he says, in that gorgeous deep voice of his.

He takes my arm, helping guide me to the door in the darkness. There's no moon tonight, so although the stars look incredible, there's not a great deal of light to see by.

My heels clack up the timber steps as I walk up them onto the porch.

The wooden door looks suspiciously sturdy and reinforced, and there's a small black screen where you'd expect to see a lock.

Loki and Kai walk up behind me as Ash lifts his thumb to the screen.

A second later, there's a click, then the door swings open and Ash goes through it, holding it open for me to enter.

As we step inside, gentle lights come on casting a soft glow around the space, and the whole place feels warm.

The decor is what I can only describe as a hunter's wet dream.

The walls are exposed wood, as is the floor, and along the left hand side wall is a rustic wooden staircase, leading to the floor above, which has a balcony and doors that come off of it.

There's a stone chimney breast at the end opposite us, a roaring fire inside the grate, brown leather sofas and big armchairs in front of it.

I can see what looks like a dining area to the right, behind a wooden bar.

There are animal pelts thrown over the furniture, and animal heads mounted to the walls, which, to be honest, is a little creepy.

To the right of the chimney is a wooden door, and it's in this direction that Ash leads us.

He stops in front of it, scanning his thumbprint again, before grasping the brass handle and opening the door, revealing a set of stairs going down.

Ash goes first, then Jax, myself, Loki, and finally Kai follows.

There are wall lights that cast their glow on the staircase so that we can see where we are going. It feels like any other converted basement, however, dread still pools in my stomach as we head down.

We reach a metal door at the bottom, which has yet another fingerprint scanner, and as Ash opens the door, our ears are assaulted with I Love You from Barney the Purple Dinosaur, blaring out at a deafening volume.

What the…
