I was wrenched back to that den in my house…and the row of men in front of me. Gabe’s eyes were impossibly wide as his brother lifted his cell. “Or do I keep playing the recording?”

Tears blurred his face, just like the man in my memory. Slowly I shook my head.

“Show me what you do there.”

“You don’t,” I whispered. “You don’t understand what you’re asking me to do.”

“I have a fair idea. But I want you to show me…I want you to show us all, just what a lying fucking traitor you are, Angelica. Now, walk over here and show me before I drag you from this house and have the cops throw you into a cell where you belong.”

But I didn’t do it.

I had nothing to do with our parents murder.

I had nothing to do with any of this.

“It’s your decision. Stay here and tell us the truth of it all…or…”

I took a step, then another moving to him. “You’re asking me…no, you’re forcing me to.”

He lifted his cell. “On your knees…sister.”

On your knees…on your knees…ON YOUR KNEES.Just like you’ve been trained. That husky voice urged in my head. Neon words flickered.

OWNED.

CONTROL.

DAUGHTER.

No…no…no…no. My mind said one thing, but my body did the opposite, knees buckled as I slowly sank in front of him.

“Now, show us what you do at the Order.” Silas growled.

I lowered my gaze, my body trembling out of fear, until those blinding words collided inside my head. Then something inside me took over. I lifted my gaze to his.Just like you’ve been trained. I wasn’t this person, not the one who reached up, sliding her hands over his thighs and squeezed, staring into those rage filled eyes and leaned in. No, I wasn’t the woman who turned her head, rubbing my cheek against the denim of his jeans and slowly rose upwards.

“What the fuck is she doing?” Gabe croaked.

“Shut the fuck up.” Theo snapped. “This is happening.”

“Show us.” Silas savage tone was husky now. “Show us what you and our mother did there.”

On your knees.Those words echoed as I opened my mouth. My breath warming the fabric against my cheek as the outline of his cock hardened.

“Do what you’ve been trained to do. That’s what he said, right?What you’ve been trained.”

His husky words made no impact. Because I was someone else now. I was…her. The woman mom needed me to be.

Keep our secret, Angel. Whatever happens. Keep our secret.The hard metal edge of his zipper pressed against my mouth. I gripped the tongue and dragged it all the way down. A low, desperate sound echoed in his belly and spread outwards and a tremble followed. He was hard, so very hard.

Open your mouth.

The man in my head commanded. I did, leaving my tongue to lick against the warmth, leaving a slick trail against his skin as he finally sprang free.

“That’s it, show us what a whore really does.” Silas growled.

He wanted to hurt me, to punish me. I looked up and opened my mouth wider, hovering over the head of his cock. A clear bead welled in the eye, desperate to be licked. But the second I moved so did he, grabbing me around the throat.

“Stop this!”Gabe roared.“Stop this now!
