Page 85 of Breaking Sanity
“What,” Baron asks. Which I am glad he did, because I was about to.
Yes, the month we were together she did tell me bits about her life. Especially about her ex-husband and his family, but nothing before that except for a little about her deadbeat father.
“If you actually knew what you were doing, that wouldn’t be a problem.” She starts to laugh. “He got so pissed, he beat the living shit out of me, but I got my licks in.”
Her laugh turns manic.
“But that isn’t the one you were referring to,” Baron states.
His shoulders are tense, and he gives us a side eye. Not sure what that is about though and you never know with Baron.
“No,” she sighs, pushing further into the couch. “I went to a sex club and met someone.”
Alley, what the fuck are you doing?
“Oh,” he sounds annoyed.
Finally, Eagle acknowledges me, and I know he is giving me a questioning look without seeing his face.
“Yeah. Fuck this guy was amazing,” she continues. “The man knew his way around a woman’s body. He knew exactly how to set my blood on fire, but he was a little dorky. He always had to have music to really set the mood. A perfectplaylist for every occasion. But I’m not complaining. Just enhanced the experience.”
A tear slips from her eye, and I can feel my chest breaking open.
“I was only his for a month though, and he offered to make all my fantasies come to life, so I jumped at the opportunity. This is when the trial was coming to a head and I was preparing for his funeral. I just didn’t want to be me for a while.”
“And,” he prods.
“And he kept to that word at least. The only other person to indulge my sexual preferences was Gunner, and he always executed those perfectly. That’s beside the point though. We were together every single night for a month. Well, it was about a week or so in, and I just got done reading one of my spicy books- I asked him for a threesome. I knew he was probably going to say no. Hell, I even told him I was going to go to the club and find two randos. He threatened to have me blacklisted. Can you fucking believe that? So, then I said I would look on Craigslist and he caved.”
“Why did you want to do a threesome with him? Did you choose the other person? Male or female?”
“I trusted him, and he made me feel safe, which as you can imagine, doesn’t happen much. I wanted a devil’s three way, and I knew if it was with him nothing bad would happen. I let him decide. Well actually, he sent me a pin drop and told me to be there. I didn’t even know if he was going to give in to that fantasy or punish me for even considering forcing him to share,” she giggles. “Either way I would’ve been happy. He did bring a friend. Let’s call his friend Devil and him Mystery.”
“Continue,” Baron is writing on his notepad and the recording app on his phone is on. She genuinely smiles to herself before she goes into the events of that night. It didn’t go as I planned but it was one of the best nights of my life. Actually, that whole month was the best time. Being around Alley, regardless of what mood she was in made me feel alive and whole. I’ve never wanted to truly care for a woman, but she demolished that. That’s why when our last night came around, I made her promise me she’d be mine forever. She agreed.
Little Monster , why are you telling him this? Look at me!
“Anyways, it was exhilarating with both of them. Devil’s mischievous presence and playful personality madethe experience even more enjoyable. That is not what got me about the devil mask guy though.”
She pauses and wipes away some stray tears before continuing.
“When he had me straddle him, I got so nervous and blurted out that I had never rode a cock before. He didn’t judge me or laugh, instead he comforted me. But after we were all spent and cleaned up, Mystery had passed out. Devil stayed up and danced with me. It went from rave music to country and everything in between. When the song “Road to Nowhere” by Bullet For My Valentine played, that is when he kissed me so passionately while we slowed danced. He asked if he could keep me too. I never answered him. I just let my body do the talking and we had sex right there on the cold kitchen floor.”
She ghosts her fingers over her lips, while my attention goes to him. Eagle never told me about that. I should’ve known because he wasn’t the same after that night. He started to protest going to this hell hole but in the end he came with me.
“As stupid as it sounds, I think I fell for Devil that night. I was already heels over head for Mystery anyway. Iwanted to be both of theirs but that’s not realistic.” She wipes away the tears that have started to coat her cheeks. Out of my peripheral, Eagle finally hangs his head.
“Why are you telling me something so intimate, Alley?” Baron’s brows furrow. He doesn’t wear his mask around her anymore so reading him has been a little easier, but he can fake emotion so well too, so you honestly never know.
“Gunner told me that there were four contracts out on me. One is obviously Theo, but were two of the contracts from them?”
She makes it look as if she is staring at Baron but the slight twitch in her eyes says she is looking at us to gauge our reaction.
“Did you ever learn their names,” Baron counters instead of answering.
We both stare at her, our bodies turn to stone. I know she is hurting but would she really throw us under the bus? If she gave us away, they would for sure kill us, especially Gunner.
“No, I didn’t,” she says, shaking her head. We both relax.
