I’ve played with, but you may yet be the first to leave alive.”
Reaching over, Torrin pulled a lock of my hair up between his fingers, holding my panic-filled glare. Smirking, he cut it from my head, watching it return to dull platinum before graying. He dropped it to the floor, tilting his head, edging out of my sight. I jerked my head to the side before moving it the other direction.
Something touched against my opening, and my eyes bugged out of my head before I closed them. Gasping, I tensed against the cold metal touching my clit, and I sucked in air, whimpering. It slowly slid against my core, and I shuddered as pleasure rushed through me. Wicked laughter filled the room before he dropped the knife, licking his tongue through the arousal with a deep growl.
“You are wicked, Little Bird,” he grunted, still lapping against my opening. “You’re soaked, so don’t even try to pretend you’re not into it.”
Torrin moved around the bed, staring at me as he slid his tongue over the blade. My eyes locked on it as he tilted his head. Kneeling on the floor in front of me, he leaned closer, kissing the cloth placed over my mouth. Torrin reached behind my head, removing the fabric. I wanted to throttle him, but his words registered, and my eyes narrowed. How many assassins had entered this land before us? Why weren’t we warned?
He reached up, pushing his thumb over my lips, then lowered his mouth before his fingers curled through my hair. He yanked my head back until his eyes were holding mine.
“Tomorrow night, you better behave. If you don’t, you’ll regret it, woman. I promise you that.”
Standing, Torrin moved around the bed until the swish of a knife cutting through fabric sounded. I sat up, waited for him to remove the binding on my arms. He smirked down at me with heat scorching my flesh where his gaze slid over me. Moving behind me, he untied my hands and leaned over, kissing my thundering pulse.
“Tell me you didn’t feel that freedom,” he growled.
“You’re insane!” I snapped, rounding on him as he backed away. His eyes smiled, sparkling with amusement at the way my chest rose and fell.
“And you’re turned the fuck on, Little Bird. I should have left your mouth available and used it,” Torrin laughed wickedly, gripping his cock while watching the anger burning in my eyes. “Keep lying to yourself that you’re craving some basic cock. You’re not turned on by it, which is why you can’t get off. You need someone like me to take away your control. You’ve been so fucking close for me, and yet I’ve respected your vow. That ends tomorrow night. Sleep well, Alexandria. I suggest you get some rest. You’re going to need it.”
Chapter Seventeen
Screaming woke me from a dead sleep. I lifted my head, searching the room as the obnoxious noises seemed to come from inside it. Sitting up, I moved to the table, lighting the candle before turning toward the wall. Pushing the hair away from my face, I glared at it. Walking to the door, I opened it and then darted back as the guard outside lunged.
“Cool your shit,” I snapped, glaring at Hensley. “Someone is being murdered in the room beside this one, in case you didn’t hear it unfolding.”
“The only thing being murdered in that room is pussy,” he chuckled, dragging his heated gaze down my scantily covered body.
“Tell them to shut the hell up then,” I groaned, rubbing my eyes.
“No can do. You want to tell them, you go right ahead, little lady.”
I bristled, turning toward the noise as yet another round of high-pitched screaming began. Sucking my lip, I worried it between my teeth while scrunching up my face. Drawing in a breath to steady my nerves, I moved toward their door, pounding on it.
The screaming lowered, and male voices laughed from inside. Scuffling sounded before the doorknob twisted and the door was thrown open. Torrin stood before me, shirtless and wearing lounge pants that hung low on his hips, exposing his abdomen’s entirely too sexy V-line. I swallowed hard, moving my gaze to several naked women and a nude male within the room.
My stomach flipped and dropped to my feet at the scene. Karina had her ass in the air while she kissed her way down the other male’s chest. They were all preoccupied and uncaring that I watched as another woman slid down the male’s enlarged cock. Torrin
