WOLF

I glance at her, noticing the confusion etched in her eyes. As she should.

God, I’ve been waiting years for this moment. Ever since Eli asked me to keep an eye on his stepsister.

Hiding who I was wasn’t easy. But Wolf has been who she needed at this time of her life. Her friend… her confidant.

Now, it’s time for her to meet with Theo.

The man whose obsession with her has consumed him. The man who mercilessly took the lives of multiple individuals simply because they laid a finger on her. The man who owns her, body and soul.

My eyes are drawn to hers, and they’re fucking majestic. I’ve never seen eyes like hers before.

“I told you on the phone that your body would ache all over, didn’t I?”

“What—What’s happening right now?” Her eyes quickly dart from Eli to me and then to Arch and Kai.

“I think you know Theo,” says Eli. “I mean, Wolf or Arrow, as we like to call him.”

“One, why so many names?” she asks, tugging on her chains. “Two, again, what the fuck is happening?”

“You lost your touch, sissy. You had the mission to kill The Order, and yet, you had one in your bed all these years.”

Her eyes go wide. “Shut the fucking front door!”

“How old are you? Eighty?” Kai groans.

Leaning down, Elijah brings his face just inches away from my still-exposed cock, his hand reaching out to firmly grasp her jaw.

“Keeping you safe has always been my top priority. Now…” He smirks. “I’m afraid you’ve willingly walked into the heart of darkness. You belong to The Order now. All of us. So be a good girl and open your mouth, pet. Arrow is going to take it while Archer will take your cunt and Kai your ass.”

“And what about you?” She raises her brow. “What are you going to take, brother?”

A low chuckle escapes me. Even now, she has to be sassy.

“What am I going to take? All of you.”

“Do you want him, Starling?” Her nod is filled with eagerness, and I can’t help but exchange a knowing look with Eli.

He never joins in play. Unlike the boys, I am certain that he has been eagerly waiting for Lily to come back to him. Not Iris, but Lily.

“Very well.” Elijah removes the chains from her wrists for a second and throws a cover to Kai. “Kai, lie down.” As Iris watches Kai lay the cover flat, she can’t help but lick her lips in anticipation, her eyes fixed on him as he removes his jeans and lies down on the mattress. “No touching.”

Bella’s body slithers towards him while Eli carefully guides Iris to rest on top of him.

“Fuck,” Archer whispers. “Slowly. Let us see you swallow him slowly.”

The room fills with their moans as she glides smoothly onto his hard cock. Eli then firmly grasps her wrists and restrains them, chaining them back to the wall.

Fuck, I’ve been dreaming of this day so many times, and she looks as beautiful as I imagined being taken by us.

With a subtle nod of my head, Arch understands my silent command and silently positions himself right behind her, his warm breath tickling her ear as he whispers, “Take a deep breath. It’ll pinch for a second.”

“What—”

She’s abruptly silenced as he forcefully penetrates her, causing her to moan in a mixture of pleasure and pain. At the same time, Kai let out a grunt as he feels the intense pressure of Arch’s cock.

The combination of Archer’s and Kai’s thick cocks can make it particularly unpleasant when they are both squeezed into the same hole for the first time.

“Fuuuck,” she sobs. “Warn a girl next time.”

Arch chuckles in her neck. “I did. But I would advise you to take another deep breath.”

She doesn’t question him as Kai firmly grasps her hips and thrusts with an intensity that rivals a madman, eliciting moans from all three of them.

“Fuuuck. I can feel the friction of your dick against mine,” he murmurs to Arch as he carefully places Bella against Iris’s neck.

“And I can feel each of your fucking piercings against mine. Fucking hell,” Arch groans in return.

I watch as her head drops backwards, and without hesitation, I lean in and extend my hand towards her. “Spit on it, Starling. You don’t want me to go in dry , do you?”

Her breath is coming out in gasps, and she barely manages to say, “Wh-what?”

“You wanted me, remember?” Smirks Eli. “Well, Theo is going to take your ass while I’ll take your mouth.”

“Oh my god,” she exclaims, her eyes rolling back as Kai’s fingers encircle her throat, forcing her to lean towards him, her arm stretching with the weight of the chains while Bella circles around their entwined bodies.

“You’re going to take all of us, Poison. The only sound I want to hear is the piercing echo of your screams. Now, lean in and let Theo take your ass.”

“Spit,” I repeat.

Elijah leans in and spits on it. “See, not complicated.”

Kai does the same before I lean my hand towards Arch to collect his before coming back to her. She tilts her head to glance at me and follows my command. Her eyes glaze over, and sweat starts to trickle down her body.

I position myself between her and Arch, squatting down to press my hand firmly on her back. She leans further on Kai, who groans in discomfort from her close proximity.

The guys momentarily stop moving, allowing me to position myself at her entrance.

“Look at me,” Kai orders her. “Focus on the sensation and keep your eyes locked on mine.”

Eli and I exchange a curious glance, our eyebrows furrowing in unison.

Well, that’s unexpected coming from him.

With a tilt of her head, she delicately licks the blood from the wound on his cheek, and the sound of his growl resonates through my body.

I take it as my cue and thrust inside her and fuck me. I can feel the guys’ dicks through the thin layer of skin separating her two holes, creating an electrifying sensation.

“Shit,” Arch moans as he starts moving in sync with me.

Fucking hell. The feeling is indescribable.

My hands tightly grasp Arch’s, settled on her hip, while Kai’s hands maintain their grip on her throat as we continue to thrust forcefully.

“Fuck, fuck, fuck,” she cries out.

“You should see yourself, baby,” I whisper in her ear, feeling the warmth of her skin against my lips. “So fucking warm and tight around our cocks.”

“C’mon, Vixen,” Arch almost roars. “Give us one before your stepbro takes your mouth.”

I steal a quick glance at him, his silence speaking volumes as he watches us intently, our synchronised movements captivating his attention.

I seize one of her nipples, exerting a firm pinch before twisting it while Kai sinks his teeth into the other one. With every movement, Bella’s hold around her throat grows tighter, causing her breathing to become more laboured. Suddenly, Arch moans and leans forward with a push, the resounding sound of a smack filling the room as she lets out a deafening scream.

“That’s it. Be a good fucking slut, and come on our cocks.” Kai grunts against her as he continues biting her skin.

She trembles against us, her body swaying forward but restrained by outstretched arms as a warm liquid splashes between us.

“Fuuuck,” we all groan at the same time.

Having her squirting between us might be the biggest turn-on I have ever experienced.

Moving closer, Elijah gently runs his fingers through her hair, noticing a few rebellious purple strands escaping from her bun.

“Such a fucking good girl coming for us like that.” Their lips meet with intensity, their mouths melding together before he murmurs against her lips. “Open up for me, pet.”

She gasps for air, her chest heaving, but manages to catch her breath, giving him space to forcefully shove his shaft into her mouth.

“Fuck,” he growls. “I missed your mouth.”

Thrusting together, we become a chaotic tangle of bodies, moving as one.

Her moans are drowned out by the sound of her gagging, the wet sound of each thrust meeting her flesh, blending with her moans.

And that’s fucking music to my ears.

I sink my teeth into Iris’ neck as Archer mirrors the action on my back, intensifying my thrusts with a feral energy.

“Fucking take it,” roars Kai.

The way they’re moving is driving me wild, and I can feel myself on the brink of climax already. It’s as if I’m fucking the three of them at once.

“Shit.” Eli secures his hands around her head. “Look at you. You’ve managed to captivate four killers who are on the brink of losing control.”

I hold my hand beneath Kai’s on her throat, craving the sensation of Eli’s forceful thrusts deep inside her mouth, and I am not disappointed.

The sensation of her struggle to breathe intensifies as I grip her carotid tighter while Kai mirrors my actions. Meanwhile, Archer’s desperate cries echo behind me, his fingers digging into my skin.

“I’m gonna come,” Arch warns. “Come for us, Vixen. I’m not gonna last. Your tight cunt feels so good wrapped around my shaft.”

I second that.

“You heard him, pet. Come for us.”

With each thrust, my breathing becomes more strained, and I can feel droplets of saliva dripping from her mouth onto my hand. Her body convulses uncontrollably, and her head goes backwards, but Eli clasps it in place.

“Fuck!”

“Shit.”

“Take all of it.”

“Fucking good.”

Our words become a tangled mess as Eli urgently provides us with what we all craved, “Come, now!”

Without hesitation, the guys’ pulsing cocks release their loads, the intense feeling sending waves of pleasure through my body as I do the same.

Every inch of my body burns with desire, my muscles throbbing with a sweet ache as if my orgasm would never cease.

“Swallow, baby,” Eli says, and we both pull out simultaneously. Her ass glistens with my cum, as I make way for Arch to do the same.

Fuck, I’m spent.

As I run my fingers along the cleft of her ass, I gather mine and Arch's cum that escaped and put it back into her cunt. The sensation causes Kai to let out a throaty groan, his erection pulsating as my hand brushes against it while he remains inside her.

“You did so good,” I whisper in her hair while Eli removes the chains from her wrists and massage them.

Her body weakens, and she collapses onto Kai, who remains inside her.

Anticipation fills the air as we wait for any sign or curses to escape his lips, yet he remains mute.

On the contrary, he carefully guides Bella back onto him, smoothly pulls out, and swiftly scoops Iris into his arms before silently rising to his feet and carrying her out of the basement.

“What the fuck was that?” asks Arch as our eyes stay locked on the door.

“Not a fucking clue,” I whisper.

Kai gently placed Iris on her bed and cleaned her up before tucking her in with a cosy blanket. It feels like I have stepped into an alternate reality.

What the hell happened to him?

I laid down beside her, appreciating the opportunity the guys had given me to be alone with her while she slept.

There is so much to discuss, both between the two of us and as a group, but for now, I watch her peacefully slumbering next to me.

She passed out from the moment Kai took her away and hasn't woken up since.

My hand glides along her bare skin, starting at her neck and moving down to caress her breast, tracing circles around her tits before trailing further down her stomach.

Still fucking warm and wet.

She releases a satisfied breath as my hand glides over her intimate area, gently caressing her sensitive spot before sliding a finger inside her.

I’m always hard when I’m next to her, but if I have to constantly share her, it’s going to become problematic. Not that I have an issue sharing her with the boys, but still.

She turns to the side, her back facing me, with a sigh.

Stroking my cock, I position myself behind her and adjust her leg so that it rests atop the other before gradually penetrating her with deliberate movements.

Shit.

So fucking good.

A moan escapes her as I keep my lazy pace, but she doesn’t move.

Taking it as my cue, I increase my thrusts, careful not to wake her.

My hand gently traces the outline of Kai’s mark on her throat before gliding it to the intricate tattoo that adorns her thigh. I can see the faint light from the door opening and closing, casting a soft glow in the room.

I know it’s Eli. He’s the only one who would dare to enter her room, knowing I’m present.

He says nothing and does what he does best, watching me while I fuck her asleep.

Her soft moans fill the room as I continue my rhythmic thrusts, my hand firmly holding her leg for balance.

Fuck, she feels so good wrapped around me.

Eli’s hand hovers lightly on my back, creating a tingling sensation before he bends down and whispers in my ear, “I wish I could see your dick sliding inside her clearly, even in the dark.” His tongue trails along my neck, causing my growl to intensify beyond my control. “How does she feel?”

“Fucking soaked.”

I continue my thrust, trying not to wake her up, but the incredible sensation of her cunt around me and Eli’s touch on my body nearly pushes me over the edge.

“Good. Then don’t hold back and give her everything you have.”

He forcefully kisses me, gripping my hair and pulling it back. Our tongues battle for dominance as I bite his lip, causing both of us to groan with pleasure when his blood grazes my tongue.

I try to maintain a slow pace with my thrusts, but the intensity becomes overwhelming, and I lose control.

Her body remains still as I release inside her, my moans muffled by his mouth as his hand tightens on my hair.

I release everything I have left, my heart pounding and my body convulsing, until he finally lets go and gently brushes my hair off my forehead.

“Good boy.”

He fucking didn’t just say that to me!

With a playful chuckle, he leans down and plants a gentle kiss on my forehead as I pull out from her tightness.

Elijah reaches between us, collecting the dripping cum with his fingers, but instead of returning it to her pussy, he brings it to his mouth.

“Hmm,” he straightens himself up, shooting me a sly wink. “The two of you together create an exquisite mixture.”

“Shut up,” I groan.

With a low laugh, he leaves the room, the sound of his footsteps fading away.

Bringing Iris closer to me, I can feel the softness of her hair against my lips as I kiss the top of her head. A content sigh escapes her as I pull up the cosy duvet over us.

“Night, Starling.”

The sensation of soreness engulfs my entire body as I stretch and extend into the bed. I reach out, expecting to touch Iris, but my hand only grazes the vacant mattress on her side of the bed.

“Iris?”

My eyes sweep the room, and besides the impenetrable darkness created by the curtain, there is not a soul in sight.

Ugh.

I reluctantly leave the warmth of the bed and make my way downstairs, but I pause when I hear the melodic tunes echoing from the bathroom.

I discreetly observe Iris through the slightly ajar door, marvelling at how she effortlessly matches her hip movements to the rhythm of the music, all while coating her head with a strange purple paste with a glass of matcha in her hand.

She wears nothing more than a T-shirt twice her size, with her nipples subtly visible through the fabric.

“I can feel your gaze on me.”

I open the door wider and lean against the frame, taking in her appearance from top to bottom.

I catch her gaze as she lifts her head, her eyes piercing through the mirror.

Those eyes.

Those fucking eyes.

I’ve been waiting years to see them.

I understand Elijah now.

“Wolf? Can you stop looking at me like that? Or should I say, Theo?”

She turns towards me, pointing the stick she uses to apply her colour in my direction, causing her T-shirt to lift slightly.

“Put your stick down.”

“It’s a hair dye brush,” she rolls her eyes at me. “You have so much to explain.”

“I do, but so do you.” I arch my brow.

“Fair,” she sighs. “You cleaned me.”

“I didn’t.” That’s her turn to raise her brow.

“So, who did?”

An internal laugh bubbles inside me just at the thought of her face when I’m going to tell her.

“Kai did.”

Her eyes almost pop out, her mouth forming the perfect ‘O’.

“Excuse me? I think I still have water in my ears and didn’t catch what you said.”

“You heard it alright,” I chuckle.

“What the hell?” She sips on the straw to drink and continues, “What is he up to?”

I remain silent because, to be honest, his behaviour last night caught us all off guard.

She turns back to the mirror, her hands gliding over the plastic film as she wraps it tightly around her head.

Women are weird specimens.

“FAMILY MEETING!” Elijah shouts from downstairs.

“Did he really say that, or are my ears playing tricks on me today?”

“Nope. Sounds like Daddy El summoned us.” I laugh.

“That’s fucking creepy, you know that, right?”

“Let’s go. Patience is not his forte.”

“You don’t say,” she groans, her voice heavy with exasperation, as she reluctantly follows me. The purple colour seems to drip from her neck, like a vivid paint running down a canvas.

“Boss,” she rolls her eyes once we arrive in the kitchen. “What is it?”

One thing I’ve discovered about Iris during these past few years is that beneath her witty sarcasm lies a troubled soul, using humour as a defence mechanism to guard herself from the world.

For good reason. Changing her has never been my intention, and I know that none of us will even try. Yet, if there is anyone who can rekindle the faint sparkle in her eyes, it is Eli. Weirdly enough, these two have more similarities than they realise.

“I think last night wasn’t enough for you. We can rectify that.”

She swiftly snatches the cigarette from his hand and takes a long drag, her eyes closing as the smoke swirls around her before settling onto one of the stools.

“About that… Is this going to be my punishment? Because Kale wanted to punish me for entering his bedroom.”

“Which you’ll never do again,” Kai groans as he enters the kitchen. “What the hell is on your head?”

“That, Kale,” she explains, gesturing to the vivid purple, “is what we refer to as a colouration. You know, that thing you apply to your hair to alter its colour.”

His intense, emerald eyes grow even darker as a conflicting desire to kill or fuck her consumes him.

“Stop it,” Eli leans closer and snatches the cigarette from her. “And stop smoking.”

“Will do when you will. I mean, it’s only fair, big bro.”

“What is it?” asks Arch when he arrives. “Oh, new colour?”

With a smirk on her face, Iris looks at Kai, her eyes speaking volumes as if to say, “See, he really understands women.”

“Just sparkling the purple, Angel.” She keeps sipping her drink while we all take a seat around the island.

“Let’s discuss, shall we?” says Eli. “Lily?”

“Stop calling me that,” she grunts.

“Afraid not. Not now that I have you back. Do you want to tell your story, or do you want me to?”

The tension in the room is palpable as she nervously scans our faces, clearly uncomfortable.

“I…” She pinches the bridge of her nose. “You guys had the mission to kill Lily Adams because she killed her mother.” She shakes her head. “I was 16. She was my world.” She swallows the lump in her throat. “My sperm donor killed her.”

“Stephen?” asks Arch, and she nods.

“He did. I was there. Actually,” she clears her throat, “he… he beat me for several years. He thought my mum cheated on him and that I wasn’t his child. For several years, he abused me mentally and physically.”

“Did he…” starts Kai, definitely uncomfortable. “Did he cross boundaries with you, exceeding what a father’s touch should entail?”

She shakes and nods at the same time.

I know her, and I know this conversation is difficult for her.

“He tried after killing my mum. He tried to, and when I defended myself, he tried to kill me. He thought he killed me. He stabbed me with a knife along my thigh and down my stomach. I was left lying in the pool of blood for hours, completely unconscious, until I could regain myself and escape.” She clears her throat once more. “After that, he led the police—his friends—to believe that someone had broken into our house, resulting in the tragic loss of my mother and my kidnapping. They easily believed him, swayed by his convincing words. I mean, since he is a police officer, it was easy to claim that someone held a grudge against him.”

Fucking hell. I know a small portion of what Elijah told me.

I glance at the guys, their jaws clenched and fists formed, a silent determination etched on their faces.

Iris looks down at her hands and continues. “I escaped at 16. There was no one else around, just me.” My heart breaks for her. We all had shitty parents, but at least we had each other. “I stood at a distance, observing as he guided the researchers, who were carrying pictures of me all over the city. He is a pathetic liar and a fucking comedian. It was at that moment that I met Miss Rose, and she introduced me to Oliver. I completely transformed my identity, even going as far as wearing contact lenses, because, as you can see, my eyes are very recognisable.”

“Who’s Oliver?” asks Arch.

“Our contractor,” I quickly respond, hoping to give her a moment to collect herself.

“And you knew all of that?” Kai asks Eli.

“I knew. Six years ago, when we met at the cabin, we had a long discussion.”

“I was drunk,” she groans.

“You were, and I’m thankful for it. She had been on the run for about two years when it happened. She was completely terrified. I promised her to do everything in my power to protect her.”

“I can protect myself, thank you very much.”

“You can, but you were only 18 at the time. She was this green ball of anger.”

“Green was a pretty colour on my hair,” she sips on her drink and glances at him. “Sorry, please continue.”

She’s not sorry for a bit.

“Why didn’t you kill him?” Kai asks Eli. “He’s married to your mother.”

“That’s my doing,” she says as she looks at him. “I think it’s bigger than what I thought. Don’t you find it strange that I received the command to eliminate The Order while you were given the order to eliminate me?” She glances at Eli. “We know too much.”

“I’ve been collecting information for years. That’s why he’s still alive.” Eli pinches the bridge of his nose.

Kai opens his mouth, but before he can speak, Iris interrupts him. “The reason he didn’t say anything to you is because of me. If you need to hold it against someone, do it with me.”

“You said he stabbed you in your leg and stomach?” Arch stands up and moves closer to her, his eyes locked onto hers. “Beneath that?” She nods, and he gently rests his finger against her thigh. “I knew this tattoo was familiar.”

“You did say that.” She swallows the lump in her throat. “I…”

“You don’t have to,” Eli tries to comfort her.

“Well, there’s no hiding now, is there?” she shrugs.

Eli’s eyes have never appeared so intense to me until now.

“He stabbed me. The sperm donor,” she repeats. “Actually, he left the blade trailing deep into my skin and tried to burn me. I was having nightmares. Still am,” she mumbles. “Despite the trauma, I found refuge in pain. Burning pain.” She lifts her head to glance at Eli. “He understood me. He refused at first but then went with it.”

“What do you mean?” Kai’s jaw is so tight that it looks like it could snap at any moment.

“To burn me.”

“What?”

Knowing his past, I feel like he’s close to losing his shit.

“There was a session where I was running, and Eli, without consent, imposed himself on me. Not really forced, but you get it. Following that, he would grab any utensil, heat it in the fireplace, and then press it against my skin to leave a lasting mark.”

“He fucking burned you?”

Yeah, Kai is not having it.

“Stop being a fucking prude. I wanted it. It was my choice. I’ve never trusted anyone more than Elijah with my body. He knew what I needed and gave it to me.”

“So, that tattoo?”

She sighs. “Elijah traced this snake on my thigh with a burning knife. I decided later on to have it tattooed. Of course, he completely lost his shit, insisting that only he had the right to mark me with his ink or anything else, for that matter. So he did. He did the tattoo. What I did not expect was for him to brand me with The Order design.”

“Told you that you belong to us,” Eli smirks.

“Asshole,” she mutters under her breath.

“Well, fuck,” murmurs Arch.

And I second that. That was a lot to take in.

I actually can’t believe she told us her story.

Kai’s body language reveals his agitation as he anxiously shifts his weight and eyes the exit, yet his curiosity compels him to hear my perspective now. I know him.

After staying silent since the beginning, I finally ask, “Iris or Lily, which name do you prefer us to call you?”

She shrugs. “Lily is dead.”

“No.” Eli shakes his head. “Lily is alive and in front of me. And she’ll get her revenge. I promised it to you, and I’ll make sure to follow through on my word.”

Her silence speaks volumes, as I can sense the impending conflict that will arise once we’re out of earshot. In response, she shifts her gaze towards me.

“And what is it for you? Wolf or Theo? Or even Arrow? I understand the multiple personalities, but seriously, that’s an excessive amount of names.”

I chuckle and smirks. “Theo is my real name, and that’s what the boys call me. But if you prefer to stick with Wolf, I’m fine with that.”

“Phew. I started to like Wolfy,’ she grins. And here it is, her coping mechanism. “So, care to explain your lies?”

I guess I don’t have any choice now, as they all look at me.

“It all started six years ago.”
