Kayden hardens his features and walks over to them. I fight against the thugs holding me, earning a punch to the gut that nearly makes me puke.
“This’ll be your only shot,” Renaldo rumbles. “Fuck your girl since you brought all this shit down on us for her.”
Kayden shakes his head. “I am fucking done with her.”
Renaldo pulls the gun out of Roux and points it at his brother. “Open.”
“Renaldo—” His words get shoved back into his mouth along with the barrel of the gun.
“Taste your girl? Taste fucking magical to you?”
Kayden remains deathly still.
“Get your fucking knife out of your pocket and cut her dress off,” Renaldo commands. “Since you don’t want to fuck your whore, you can strip her for me.”
“Stop fucking touching her!” I yell.
This earns me another punch to the gut.
I’m swallowing down bile and blinking back the dizziness in time to see Kayden sawing through her dress. He curses, making me freeze. The entire room tenses at seeing the wire taped between her breasts.
“You did this, Kayden. You.” Renaldo rips it off her chest. “Now fuck her. That was always your end game. You chose pussy over blood. Now fucking fuck her, you fucking fuck!”
I can’t watch this.
Everything is happening too slowly.
They’ll rape her and then kill her.
Like a maddened bull, I rage and buck, desperate to reach her. I knock back a few guys, but then they all pounce on me, kicking the shit out of me and stomping on me.
I hear Renaldo call Kayden a pussy and then Roux screams. I’m able to see past the fuckers beating me. Renaldo is standing with Roux kicking in his arms. He throws her down onto the coffee table hard. I watch helplessly as he holds her down while some thugs set to tying her face down on the table. She’s facing me, which means I’m going to have to watch her as they all rape her.
I try to lock my eyes with hers, but these bastards are now punching me in the fucking face. Her name gets murmured over and over until I black out.
I wake to the scent of gasoline.
Strong. Foreboding. Sickening.
“J-Jordy! Jordy, w-wake up!”
Groaning, I try to move, but it hurts too fucking bad. I’m able to squeeze one eye open. Roux is still on the table, but no one is touching her.
“Roux,” I rasp out, reaching blindly for her.
“You have t-to get up and g-get us out of here,” she chatters out. “Now, J-Jordy.”
Renaldo squats down behind Roux, watching me over her prone body. “Would you look at that? They think they’re getting out of here alive. How fucking cute.” He smacks her bare ass and then shoves his fingers into her. Her screams are a match to my soul.
“Roux!”
Renaldo throws his head back, laughing. One of his thugs comes up behind Renaldo, a knife in his grip and a dark look on his face.
“For Jace,” the guy bellows before slamming the knife into the side of Renaldo’s neck.
Renaldo whips around, pulling a gun out in record speed. He blows the head off of the guy who stabbed him. With a grunt, he rises to his feet, touching the knife in his neck. No way. I knew Roux’s dad had connections on the outside but was not expecting that.
“Fuck,” he roars. “Fuck!”
My brother rushes to his aid. Fucking asshole. While they try to help Renaldo, I inch my way over to Roux. I touch her face with a shaky hand.
“I’m going to get you out of here,” I vow. “Do you understand?”
She nods hard, tears sailing down her cheeks.
“We have to bail,” Juno barks out, assisting Renaldo. “Now, Kayden.”
Kayden’s eyes are locked on me and Roux, hatred burning in them.
“Do it,” Renaldo rasps out. “Blood over bitches.”
Kayden pulls out a book of matches. With absolutely no remorse, he lights the match and tosses it onto the carpet.
Fuck.
Orange light flies across the carpet, hot and blinding, quickly encircling us. Kayden storms over to me and kicks me, sending me flying back. He throws punch after punch until someone drags him away.
Everything fades from painful orange to blissful black.
Roux
I’m going to burn to death.
I’ll have to watch Jordy die first.
This is hell. I’m already here.
My throat is hoarse from screaming at him. Over and over. I need for him to wake up. When he grunts, I sob in relief.
“Jordy, baby, wake up. You have to wake up.”
He squints open his good eye, quickly growing aware of our dire situation. The fire is quickly spreading and the heat from it is burning my naked skin. Jordy crawls my way and starts fumbling with the rope around one of my arms. I scream when a flame licks at my foot. With a grunt, he drags the whole table away from the flames and starts rapidly untying the rope. He frees one hand and rushes to my legs, leaving me to work on the other hand. I get it loosened just enough to wriggle through it. The moment my legs are free, he yanks me into his arms.
