after that, we figure out how to remove the mating mark from each of you.”

“No,” Lucian growled, unleashing his power at my words. “Not my mark. You’re my girl, Lena. You don’t get to choose for me again. I like having your mark on me.”

My heart clenched, and I nodded before turning my gaze toward him. Lucian looked pissed, which wasn’t ever good. He walked toward me, inching into my space with his power filling the room. Lucian grabbed me, his hands gripping to my shirt as if he intended to rip it off, but I stopped him.

“Not here and not tonight, as it’s already half over. I have a headache,” I chirped, and Lucian narrowed his eyes on me. “I mean, I don’t actually have a headache. I asked Alden to grab the files on the furies. We’re not set up for the spell, and it has to be done exactly how we did it on the night this began. You said we’re doing this once. If that is the case, the spell should be performed correctly. I want this; I do. But not in some bedroom covered in other people’s stuff.” I winced, shaking my head as Lucian stepped back, smiling. “I mean, eww. Really? I’m a lady. I do have some standards for my kink. You get me? Plus, I want it to be where I’m comfortable and feel safe to shed all my inhibitions and just unleash everything. Home makes me feel that, or the club, I guess. It’s pretty much our home now. I also want to ensure that if there’s a way to remove the mating mark from Spyder, we do it because the spell might require body fluids, which you old-as-shit people enjoyed adding to all your rituals. Really, you’re all very unsanitary. I’m all for orgies, but drinking each other’s blood is a bit farfetched, don’t you think?”

“Kitty is right, Lucian. Not here. Not where I agreed to murder everyone inside this room before leaving. She’s a lady, after all.” My head swung toward Spyder, who smirked while holding my gaze. “You didn’t believe I had becoming a monk, did you? Your little mark? It kills whoever I fuck, but not me. I tried because it would have spared Lucian having to end my life.”

“The men?” I asked, curious about his position on that subject. I held my hands up. “I’m not judging; you do you, Spyder.”

He snorted, shaking his head as he trailed his gaze down my body slowly. “I’d have snapped their necks. They’re all human.”

“Noted,” I nodded. “Makes sense. I—there were like thirty people inside this room,” I swallowed, as Spyder’s lips jerk into a deadly smile.

“No mercy, Kitty,” he chuckled.

“Right…” I turned as Lucian took me in with a matching smile to the one Spyder wore. Shit. What the hell was I thinking? These two would literally destroy me, and I still wanted it. I guess I shouldn’t consider myself sane after all.

“No mercy. No rules. You’re not mine or his. You’re ours. That means you’re nothing but the woman we’ll use to get ourselves off. Our wants, our desires, they’re the only thing that will matter inside that room. There’s no safe word to tap out. For one night, you shall know what it feels like to be our toy, and we’re going to take pleasure in playing with you and doing our best to break you. If you’re a good girl, we’ll make sure you enjoy it, too. So, march your tight ass up those stairs and sit at the bar before I forget where the hell we are and fuck you right here. Now!” Lucian ordered sharply, causing my gaze to slide to Spyder’s, who watched me with naked hunger burning in his inky depths. “Now, Lena.”

I left the room, my heart thundering in my chest as the door slammed without me having to close it. I climbed the stairs, bypassing the orgy that had moved into the hallway. No one touched me, but then I could feel Lucian’s power humming through the club, which meant everyone else, felt it as well. Sliding onto the stool at the bar, I looked at Vlad, who sat with his back against the wall of bottles, shaking his head. He crossed his tattooed arms over his chest and narrowed his eyes on me.

“You could have at least let Spyder finish his deal with the paying clientele to murder them before you entered the room.”

“I wasn’t aware it was
