Chapter 19: Chapter NINETEEN — A HELLISH EXPERIENCE

Candace

The door swung open, and my cousin walked in looking remarkably healthy for someone who had been carried out of the reception two hours ago.

Deidre’s honey brown hair spilled loose around her shoulders, her silk robe sliding off one collarbone in a way that was anything but accidental.

Her eyes skimmed over my naked, cuffed, body spread across my own wedding bed and she giggled.

"Oh." She latched onto Ryker. "You started without me."

"Get these off me." I yanked at the cuffs hard enough to feel them bite. "Ragnor, please I beg you."

He didn’t look at me. Instead, he extended a hand to her instead. "Come here, sweet girl."

She drifted to him and his lips crashed down on hers with the kind of hunger I’d only ever read about in stolen books beneath my covers.

His hand slid inside her robe, cupping her breast, his thumb rolling over her nipple until she moaned into his mouth. I could see his tongue. I could see the wet flash of it between her lips.

Ragnor didn’t stop there. He shoved the robe completely off her shoulders, letting it fall, then spun her around so her back was pressed to his chest.

One powerful arm banded beneath her breasts while his other hand slid straight between her thighs. Two thick fingers pushed inside her without warning.

Deidre gasped, her head falling back against his shoulder as Ragnor began fucking her with his fingers in slow, deliberate strokes, the wet sound of it filthy and loud.

His thumb circled her clit with every thrust of his hand. "Already dripping for me," he murmured against her ear, loud enough for me to hear. "You like this, don’t you? Knowing she’s watching us."

NO NO NO, Star screamed inside me.

"Ragnor!" Something inside me tore. "Please. Please, let me go, I’ll leave, you can do whatever you want, I won’t come back-"

"Shut up, or I’ll gag you." Ryker stormed toward me, and I flinched back into the mattress before I could stop myself.

"Ignore her, baby." Deidre crooked a lazy finger. "Come here, Ry."

He went to her, his fingers fisting in her wavy curls as he kissed her like a starving man, tongue sliding deep, his other hand shoving her robe down her shoulders until it puddled at her feet.

Her bare breasts pressed against his chest. He groaned into her mouth, a low, pleased rumble that I felt through the mating bond and that made it a thousand times worse.

Ragnor still had his fingers buried deep inside her. He worked them faster now, curling them with every thrust while his other hand reached around to pinch and roll her nipple.

Deidre moaned loudly into Ryker’s mouth, her hips rocking shamelessly on Ragnor’s hand. When he finally pulled his fingers free, they were coated in her arousal. He brought them to her lips and she sucked them clean, eyes half-lidded with pleasure.

Ryker’s hard cock pressed against Deidre’s stomach as he kissed her, while Reign’s erection stood thick and heavy against his thigh.

Star howled in pain, a raw, shredding sound that tore up my throat from the inside. My skin went hot and cold at once.

The mating marks on my neck throbbed like open wounds.

Mate, mate, MATE, she sobbed inside me.

Reign’s lips dropped to Deidre’s neck, to the exact spot where my own mark lived on my own skin and he sucked. She arched, gasping his name. His teeth grazed her pulse and my own neck flared in sympathy, hot and useless.

I thrashed, tears brimming in my eyes as I yanked at the cuffs with everything inside me.

"Get me out of these-" I was sobbing now.

"This isn’t-you can’t-"

"Shut up, slave, or I really will gag you." Ryker warned, his eyes shooting daggers at me, his malicious hatred sending more tremors through my aching heart.

Reign lowered Deidre onto the edge of my bed, inches from me. They were so close I could feel the mattress shift beneath her weight, so close I could smell her arousal mingling with his musk, and that was the worst part of all, because I knew that scent.

His hazel eyes flicked to me over her shoulder, slow and cruel.

"Bit awkward for you, isn’t it, sweet." He pushed her thighs wide with one broad palm. "Guess you’ll be getting a front row seat."

His head dropped and I heard the wet, unmistakable sound of his mouth working her clit.

Deidre’s back arched off the mattress, her fingers digging into his hair as he dragged his tongue up her pussy. She sobbed from pleasure, her thighs shaking around his face.

That was supposed to be us, Star whimpered, and she sounded so small, so broken.

Ragnor positioned himself behind her. He gripped the base of his cock and dragged the swollen head slowly through her soaked folds, coating himself in her wetness while Reign continued licking her.

Then Ragnor pushed two fingers back inside her alongside Reign’s tongue, stretching her, working her open with deliberate, filthy strokes.

Ryker climbed up behind her head, he guided his cock between her parted lips, and she swallowed him down, her throat working around his long cock, her eyes rolling back.

His hand fisted in her hair. "Good girl. Fuck, that’s it-"

Star’s screams were no longer sounds inside my head anymore. They felt like claws raking desperately against the inside of my ribs trying to escape.

Every kiss they gave Deidre slammed through the mating bond like a blade twisting deeper into my chest. Like molten metal being poured directly into my veins.

My stomach twisted violently as another wave crashed through me. Heat flooded my body so suddenly I thought I might actually catch fire from the inside out.

The marks on my neck burned. I cried out when heat spread from the bond marks down my spine in violent pulses, each one stronger than the last.

My back arched hard against the mattress while the leather restraints cut deeper into my wrists.

"Please-" My voice cracked into something pathetic and broken. "Please stop-"

Not one of them listened. The mattress dipped again beneath their weight and another pulse ripped through me so violently my vision blurred white around the edges.

I couldn’t breathe. Goddess, I couldn’t breathe. It felt like invisible coals of fire were wrapped around my lungs, squeezing tighter every single time one of them touched her.

Star was sobbing now. The sound shredded me from the inside out.

They’re choosing her. They’re choosing her over us.

"Please!" I screamed.

Tears flooded down my face faster. My entire body jerked violently against the restraints as another wave hit. The cuffs dug into my skin hard enough to tear flesh this time, warm blood slicking beneath the leather as I fought them desperately.

I didn’t care. I needed out before the pain consumed me. No matter how much agony they caused me, my body still recognized them as mine.

Every moan they made dragged a humiliating reaction from me.

My body burned for them while my heart broke apart piece by piece. It was unbearable. More tears poured down my cheeks, as I twisted violently against the restraints until the headboard slammed repeatedly against the wall.

"Please!" I cried again, voice turning hoarse.

"Please stop, let me go."

The bond pulsed again. Agony exploded through my body and a scream tore itself from my throat before I could stop it.

My hips jerked helplessly off the mattress while heat flooded violently through my stomach and chest. My muscles locked painfully all at once.

Another brutal pulse slammed into me so hard nausea climbed violently up my throat, I gagged.

My entire body shook uncontrollably. The room smelled overwhelmingly like them now, their scents saturating the air until there was nowhere left to escape it.

I buried my face into the pillow and screamed into it instead, pain shooting through my every nerve like coals of fire.

The leather cuffs creaked loudly beneath the force of my struggling. My wrists were slick with blood now and my ankles burned raw.

She moaned around him, and the vibration must have felt like heaven because he groaned deep in his chest and snapped his hips forward.

Every wet sound, every guttural good girl, hammered the bond like a strike on an anvil. Stings of pain racked through my body as I writhed, begging and pleading for them to let me go.

Reign lifted his mouth from her, his chin glistening. "She’s soaked, brother. Dripping for us."

"Then fuck her,"

Reign stood, lined himself up, and drove into her in one long, filthy stroke. Deidre screamed around Ryker’s cock, Reign’s thighs glistening with her cum as he pulled back and drove in again, harder, the bed frame knocking the wall with every thrust.

Ragnor fisted her hair, and fed his cock into her mouth the moment Ryker pulled back. She took him greedily, her lips stretching around his thick length while Reign continued pounding into her from behind.

Ragnor’s head tipped back with a low groan as he thrust shallowly into her throat, one hand cupping the back of her head to hold her in place. "That’s it," he rasped.

"Take it deeper. Show her how well you suck your alphas."

Ryker’s head tipped back, his throat working. He muttered something obscene and fucked her mouth in counter-rhythm with his brother, the two of them moving together like they’d done this a hundred times.

The bond was burning me alive.

And—goddess, this was the worst part, the part I couldn’t forgive myself for—my body responded. My thighs clenched together uselessly against the cuffs.

Heat coiled low in my belly, shameful and unwanted, my traitor body recognizing mate, mate, mate in every grunt and groan even as my heart was being carved hollow.

Star howled in pain, her voice dimming with each second. She was getting weaker.

"No-" I turned my face into the pillow, wet with tears. "Reign, please, please-l-"

They didn’t stop. Deidre’s cries rose higher and higher until she shattered, her whole body jerking as Reign pulled out of her an instant before he spilled.

Tears poured down my face in waves. I writhed in agony, sobbing watching my mates fuck Deidre. My hands and legs yanked hard against the handcuffs until I bled but I couldn’t get out.

"No," I sobbed, closing my eyes tightly, not wanting to watch.

How could they be so cruel? How could they punish me like this, humiliate and tear me apart like this?

I had no idea how long I lay there, sobbing furiously, fighting the nausea rising up my throat. It felt suffocating, like someone had pressed a wet cloth to my face while flooding my veins with piping hot magma.

I turned my face into the pillow and let the tears free, my wrists pulling uselessly against the cuffs, Star whimpered inside me with every thrust, every groan of pleasure they gave, every single time I heard Deidre scream their names in pleasure.

After a while the screams stopped. A shadow fell over my face and my eyes opened to see all three of the surrounding me. Ryker knelt next to me on the bed, his fist pumping his cock that glistened with Deidre’s cum, his teeth bared.

Reign stood on the other side of the bed, close to my face, doing the same, a cheeky smile on his face. "You get the cherry on top, Candace,"

No, I gasped, my skin crawling with disgust. They reeked of Deidre’s scent. My body shook and burned in humiliation. "Don’t you dare, let me go. Let me go!"

Ragnor stood at the foot of the bed, fully naked, his eyes half-lidded with pleasure while Deidre stood next to him, thoroughly wrecked, stroking his cock with both hands.

She worked him slowly, twisting her grip on every upstroke, her thumb smearing the bead of precum over his swollen head. Ragnor’s hips rocked into her fist, his breathing heavy.

He reached down and slid two fingers back inside her cum-slick pussy, pumping them lazily while she jerked him off. "Keep going," he told her, voice rough. "Make me cum all over her."

"That’s it baby, I’ll help you let it all out," She purred, leaning on her tip toes to kiss his neck. Her eyes glinted with malice when she looked at me.

"You should be grateful they’re giving you their cum at all," She scoffed, licking her lips. "See how generous my big bad Alphas are, Candy?"

Ryker gave a loud groan, thick ropes of his cum spurting all over my stomach and breasts. It hit hot and wet against my skin, and the shame burned worse than anything the bond had done to me.

"You wanted to be our mate so badly. Here’s what that gets you."

He had the nerve to slap his dick against my sides, smearing it across my skin like I disgusted him before he climbed off the bed.

Ragnor was next. He pulled his fingers from Deidre and gripped her hips, spinning her around so she was bent over the foot of the bed right beside my legs.

He drove back into her with one hard thrust, fucking her roughly while she continued to stroke his cock with one hand whenever he pulled back.

The wet slap of his hips against her ass was loud. He grunted with every thrust, his eyes locked on my face as he used her. When he finally pulled out, he fisted his cock and aimed it at my thighs and legs, thick ropes of cum painting my skin while he groaned low and deep.

Reign’s fist tightened over his cock. I looked away from him and he chuckled in derision. My eyes snapped shut when his cum hit the side of my face.

These bastards, how dare they? How can they treat us like this? My wolf snarled, pacing and storming inside me.

"A rag, that’s all you’ll ever be to us," Ryker fumed, somewhere in the room.

The door closed behind them. Their cum was still warm on my skin. Deidre’s laughter still echoed somewhere in the hallway outside, fading toward their quarters where they would sleep tangled together like lovers, while I lay cuffed to a bed I had once dreamed about as a girl.

My teeth sank into my bottom lip hard enough that I bled. The metallic taste of it did nothing to wash away the shame.

Star whimpered softly inside me, weaker now. I’m sorry, Candy. I’m so sorry.

I turned my face toward the window. Moonlight fell pale and cold across the floor. Somewhere beneath this night, beneath the humiliation and the bond-pain still throbbing through my bones, were boys who used to leave pink envelopes under my pillow.

Boys who carved four names into the bark of a persimmon tree and promised me forever.

A tear slid sideways down my temple, into my hair.

How could I endure 150 days of this?
