‘Take it,’ he growls. ‘Take every inch of me, Jules.’

I whimper as Jayce disappears because I’m afraid he’s abandoning me to suffer, that this was a trick to get revenge for what I did, but I realize a second later that he’s sliding underneath me. His arms come around me, holding me tightly in his embrace as Axel fucks me without mercy.

He kisses my lips and starts drawing his fingers over my clit. I bury my head in his chest, letting him give me the pleasure that Axel is denying me. I focus only on what Jayce is doing and I try to block out everything else. His fingers rub in fast, frenzied circles like he’s trying to make the sensations he’s inducing more potent than Axel’s and it begins to work.

I come for a third time with a whimper and Axel curses low as my muscles spasm around him. He thrusts one last time, burying himself in me as deeply as he can and finding his release with a grunt.

He pulls out a second later and I collapse onto Jayce who holds me against his body.

‘You shouldn’t have done that,’ Jayce snarls at Axel. ‘There was no lull. You knew she was afraid.’

‘She consented to …’

‘What is it?’ Jayce asks.

‘Blood.’

‘She was already bleeding before you took her, but youweremuch too rough with her,’ Jayce growls and I half wonder why he cares when he hates me anyway.

‘I know.’

At least Axel doesn’t sound proud of himself.

Jayce scrutinizes my tear-stained cheeks and his eyes widen a little, his expression turning even grimmer.

‘That was your first time—’ he begins knowingly.

‘With an incubus, maybe,’ Axel interrupts with a snort, and I wince at his flippant tone.

Jayce gives Axel a dark look. ‘That was your first time with anyone, aye?’ he asks me with a gravitas that makes me think this is somehow a big deal for them as well as me.

But that can’t be true. They do this all the time, they literally have toto live.

I look away so he doesn’t know the truth, but my lip still wobbles and I hear him curse.

They’re both staring and I shut my eyes, willing this to be over. I don’t tell them how it’s possible that I’ve never had sex before. There’s a damn good reason for that but telling them about it would be worse than opening a can of worms. I don’t need anyone knowing my life story, so I don’t say anything.

Axel

I stareat her for a long moment. She’s curled up in Jayce’s lap on the floor.

I clear my throat, but when I open my mouth, no sound comes out. I look helplessly at Jayce who seems to be in a similar state of shock. He’s also pissed at me and with good reason. By the time he’d made her come the first two times, the energy she gave off had filled me completely. I didn’t need to fuck her. I was being an asshole. I was punishing her for tasing me and leaving me in here even though it’s clear now she was being held captive by the others for the past few days.

I look down at her again. Her eyes are open and she’s just staring at the white, mesh wall.

‘Jules?’ I say.

Her eyes flick to me.

‘I–I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to—’

My apology seems to wake her up. ‘It’s fine,’ she says, trying to scramble away from Jayce.

I realize her hands are still bound behind her.

This just keeps getting worse.
