Chapter Seventeen

Bailey

I 'd never thought I'd say those words aloud. Slut . All the shame I'd ever felt was bubbling up and threatening to choke me.

Saint sat down on the other side of me and took one of my hands from Poe. "The people of Wickford Hollow haven't changed one bit. It's a fucking cycle they keep perpetuating. They labeled us freaks as well back then. People fear what they don't understand. You have nothing to be ashamed of."

I shuddered. There were sides to me that even they didn't know about. But Raine fucking sensed things about me. It was like he could see into my soul. "I used to hate the word slut. But now I've claimed it. I own it. Because it's on my terms, not theirs."

Poe squeezed my hand. "We are cut from the same cloth, love. All of us. But we can't protect you if you keep secrets."

Raine snickered. "She doesn't need protecting, she needs liberating."

A knot formed in my stomach. I had no idea how Raine was so perceptive, but I had to come clean to them. "It started out harmless enough. They would tease me and call me names but say that it was all in good fun. I laughed along with it at first because I didn't want to go back to being the freak with no friends. Maureen knew it bothered me, but I refused to talk about it."

The four of them stared at me like I was a fragile bomb about to explode. I took a long sip of whiskey before continuing. "I started partying a lot more. The nights began to blur together. To be honest, there are big gaps in my memory. I started having blackouts. I was so depressed… I didn't want to see anyone. But the moment I entered this house, something changed. I felt alive again."

Raine sucked in a deep breath. "That's how I felt the moment I first saw you ."

I was still wrapping my head around the fact that he was the one who pushed me into the door. "Why weren't you locked in the room with them?"

Grim snorted. "Excellent question. Raine, please do tell us how your psychotic ass was roaming free around the house."

Raine chuckled. "Because I pissed off Mrs. Wickford enough for her to kill me but not quite enough for her to curse me. You see, your souls can't pass on because of what she did. Mine can."

Saint's eyes widened. "You just refuse to. How is that even possible?"

"Because even the devil won't let this psycho into hell," Grim quipped.

"This is my house, and I won't leave. Simple as that." Raine was so calm about everything. He crossed his legs and sipped on his whiskey as if what he just said was the sanest thing anyone ever had. But he was a dead man. A ghost who would not accept his fate.

I understood him a lot more now. Raine Wickford came from money. He was a rich man at a time when the world was at war. Poe, Grim, and Saint on the other hand came from more complicated pasts. It wasn't as easy for them back then.

But there were still so many questions about that night. "How did you know what I would do? That I would move in and renovate this house?"

His eyes lit up to match his devious smirk. "I like chaos, little vixen. And this little situation is as chaotic as it gets. I'm not going to reveal all my cards tonight. There are some things you need to figure out for yourself."

My cheeks burned. This man fucking infuriated me. I couldn't get a read on him, and I couldn't throw him out. He was playing a game I didn't sign up for. And yet one look was all it took to keep me hooked.

"Oh, fuck off," Grim growled at him.

The day had turned into night, and I was exhausted. I stifled a yawn as I stretched to my feet. "Look, it's nothing to worry about. Just bored locals trying to prank me. I'll call the shop in the morning and get us a new window. It's not supposed to rain tonight so, if anything we might have a few furry animals joining us for breakfast. Can we please not talk about this anymore tonight?"

Saint tied his long hair up into a top knot, revealing the sweat that was beading down his brow. "Bailey… you're downplaying what happened tonight and I don't fucking like it one bit. But we will talk more about this tomorrow."

The tension was so thick, it was suffocating. Everyone was so wound up. We needed release. I placed my hand on his chest. "Fine. But tonight… I want to feel something else than this ache inside my chest."

His breath quickened as the room fell silent. "What do you want, little fox?"

Moisture pooled between my legs as I looked at each of them. " Release . "

Raine pursed his lips and leaped to his feet. "Well, that's my cue."

My heart raced. "Raine… stay."

"Bailey," Grim growled.

"I want him to stay." I knew I was playing with fire but if we were going to all make this work, we had to start somewhere.

Raine chuckled. "Only if you get on your knees and show them what you look like sucking my cock."

Everyone seemed to be holding a collective breath, waiting to see if I would slap him or fulfill his demand.

"Sit down," I murmured. "All of you… take a seat."

Raine stalked toward me and gazed down. " Good girl ." He unzipped his jeans and pushed them down, stepping out of them before sinking back down on the couch. He spread his legs wide open and then pulled off his shirt.

My breath hitched. He was fucking gorgeous. I licked my lips as my gaze landed on his hard cock. It was long and thick with pre cum already oozing from the tip. Raine snickered as he watched me drink in the sight of him, knowing how aroused I was.

I forced myself to look away. I needed to check in first. I locked eyes with Grim and gave him a nod.

He nodded back. "Take what you want, little fox." Poe and Saint nodded in agreement as they sat back to watch.

Their approval sent another rush of adrenaline to my core. I turned and knelt down between Raine's legs, sliding my hands up his thighs.

"Take off your shirt," he rasped.

My nipples pebbled as the air hit them. I threw my top on the floor and moved back into position. I could hear the rustling of clothes from behind, knowing my guys were getting naked as well. The thought of them jerking off to me sucking Raine's cock made me feral.

Raine slipped his hand around the back of my neck, pulling my ponytail free. Tangling his hand in my hair, he pulled my head down into his lap. Sweat beaded down my back as my core tingled with anticipation. With his free hand, he fisted his cock, rubbing the tip across my lips. "Open your mouth."

A little whimper escaped my lips as I parted them. Raine guided his cock into my mouth. I was not in control. He thrust in hard and yanked my head down. His cock hit the back of my throat, and I gagged. I dug my fingers into his thighs as he ground against me, pushing in and pulling out without an ounce of gentleness.

And I fucking loved it.

I moaned as tears streamed down my cheeks.

"Yeah, fucking choke on me, baby girl." He looked at the guys as he held me in place, thrusting deeper down my throat. "Looks like I'm her fucking daddy now, boys."

I took deep breaths through my nose as his cock took up all the space in my mouth. A rush of air hit my lungs as he pulled out, leaving just the tip in. "Suck it hard."

I pursed my lips around his tip and sucked, twirling my tongue in circles around it. He grunted and plunged back in. "Swallow every fucking drop for me."

Judging by the moans that were erupting behind me, they were just as turned on as he was. "Squeeze my balls."

I cupped his balls in my hands and did as he commanded.

"That's my good little slut."

Oh, fuck. Every inch of my body burned with desire for this man. With a need to please him.

He grunted again as his cock hit the back of my throat. Stilling himself against me, his shaft throbbed against the inside of my cheeks. My core spasmed as his thick hot cum shot out into my mouth.

"Mmm, fuck," he rasped. "Drink, little vixen." He moaned louder as I choked his cum down my throat, my breath as erratic as my pulse .

I gasped for air the second he pulled out and leaned back against the cushions. He wiped my lip with his thumb and shoved it into my mouth. "You missed a drop." I moaned as I licked it off.

It was rough and depraved and dirty. I turned around slowly to face the guys, anxious to see their faces. To my delight, their eyes blazed with hunger and desire. Poe was holding his cock, his hand covered in his own cum. Saint had his hand down Grim's pants, still working his cock up and down.

They were just as aroused as I was.

Raine pulled me onto his lap and yanked my pants off. He whispered in my ear, "Let's help him finish, shall we?"

Without waiting for my answer he spun me around, so my back was against his chest. "Spread your thighs apart and lean back."

Their eyes traveled the length of my body as I spread open wide. Raine fingered the edges of my panties before sliding them to the side. "Is this not the wettest cunt you've ever seen, boys?" He swirled his finger in circles around my swollen clit. "You like watching me touch her. I can see it in your eyes."

I trembled as he untied the strings holding my panties together and ripped them out from under me.

Grim moaned as Saint stroked him. "Fuck… yeah… keep going."

Raine's soaked fingers inched up my belly, smearing my juices all over my skin. He circled my nipple before pinching it hard. I cried out as he twisted it between his fingers. He did the same with the other one. It hurt so bad I could barely breathe.

"Shh… relax. The more you struggle, the harder I squeeze."

Despite wanting to get away from him now, my core was spasming. He was doing something to my body that I didn't want to like. "Raine, stop, you're hurting me."

He sucked on my earlobe. "And you like it."

I looked across the room to find Poe jerking himself off again. We locked eyes. "Relax, little fox. Let him give you what you want. "

A wave of panic pushed against my desire as I realized what was happening. They were stepping back. Letting me explore my dark side. Grim and Saint would never let anything happen to me. But they knew this was what I needed. They were done fighting with Raine. I was the only one left who was.

He released my raw nipples and traced soft circles around them. "These nipples should always be swollen like this."

He pinched them harder this time and I bucked. Every nerve in my body was on fire. "Raine, please."

"You're so fucking scared that I could make you cum just like this. That I can control your cunt any way I want. Isn't that right, baby girl?"

He let go and dragged his fingers down my belly "I think you're ready for this." He slid his palm down my pussy and back up. "Deep breath now." Before I could form my next thought, his hand lifted and came down hard against my folds.

"Uhhh." A deep spasm rolled through me, breaking past the sting of his hand. I clenched my thighs together. "I can't take anymore."

Raine grabbed my throat and squeezed. "You'll take whatever I give you like a good little slut. Now open your fucking legs."

Grim let out a deep moan as his cum burst out. "Fuck, Bailey… stop fighting it."

Saint rubbed him furiously, milking him for every drop. "Grim's right," he rasped. "Let him take you to the edge. And then fucking jump."

I looked to Poe who was always the voice of reason. His eyes were dark as he watched Raine dig his fingers into my throat. He stood and stalked over to us. My heart was beating in my chest. What the fuck was he going to do?

He knelt down and pushed my legs apart. "You belong to us, little fox. I think you need reminding of that." He nodded to Raine. "Make her fucking scream. "

Oh, shit. Memories of that night came flooding back. The night Poe ripped me from my bed and dragged me to my fate. We had gotten soft playing house for the past year. I had forgotten myself. Forgotten how much I craved this.

"I'm going to punish you now for being a bad girl," Raine whispered in my ear.

He slapped my pussy hard. Each time I bucked, Poe pressed my legs farther apart.

I screamed as my clit swelled and tingled as Raine rubbed at my raw folds. His cock throbbed against my ass. I clawed at Poe's arms, leaving scratch marks across his skin. He growled and sprang to his feet.

Raine laughed. "Now you've done it."

Poe returned with his belt in hand. Raine pushed me forward and clasped my hands around my back. I squirmed as Poe wrapped his belt tightly around my wrists, securing it in the clasp.

As Raine yanked me back up and held me to his chest, Poe cupped my face. "Surrender, little fox. I know this is what you want."

I was afraid to accept it. Why? What was so wrong about me enjoying this? The fear of the unknown was what got me off. Losing control. Letting go and giving in to this… those were some of my darker fantasies that I was scared to embrace.

Poe pushed my legs apart again and held them firm. "Are you going to be a good girl and let us defile you?"

I whimpered against Raine, my arms aching from being pinned behind my back. "Y-yes," I stammered.

Raine chuckled as Grim and Saint crossed the room, and each took a seat on either side of us. I was surrounded by all four of them and it sent a deep spasm straight to my nub. I licked my lips and relaxed back against Raine.

Grim and Saint each sucked on one of my breasts. The sensations from both were driving me wild. Saint sucked and nibbled while Grim flicked his tongue. I moaned into it .

I gazed down just as Raine spread my pussy apart. I bucked as he shoved his finger deep inside. "Uhhh," I cried out.

"Mmm, why don't you help me stretch her open," Raine rasped.

Oh, fuck. I was panting now, my heart racing so fast it felt like it was going to explode. A small spasm rippled through me as Grim slipped his finger in next to Raine's.

"Yeah, you like that don't you, little vixen?" Raine moaned as he and Grim took turns thrusting inside me "I'm so close, fuck," I whispered. The pressure was building.

"Not yet," Saint growled. "Not until we're all in there." I gasped as he slid a thick finger inside. I was stuffed to the fucking brim as the three of them burrowed in deeper. I lifted my hips as they finger fucked me together, grinding up and down.

"Fuck… it's too much…" I cried, tears streaming down my cheeks. I was overwhelmed by every sensation of pleasure that rocked through me.

Raine wrapped his free hand around my throat. "Almost time."

Poe stroked the outside of my pussy, dragging his finger down and underneath. I clenched as he pushed at my other entrance. "Relax…"

Oh, fuck.

Poe shoved his finger deep inside my ass. I screamed as the pressure in my clit exploded. I rocked against them as they pushed harder. Stars blurred my vision. Raine closed his grip on my throat, cutting off the air to my lungs.

Their voices began to blend together. I couldn't focus on who was saying what.

"Yeah, fucking cum for us."

"Mmm, that's our good girl."

"Our dirty little slut."

Each spasm rolled into another one as my orgasm claimed every inch of me. Grim and Saint devoured me as I came, kissing and licking my neck, my lips, and my nipples like starving animals.

I inhaled deep breaths as Raine freed me from his grip. He caressed my back as he whispered in my ear, "The darker we go, the closer you'll be to remembering who you are."
