Chapter Twenty-Six

Bailey

W hen I woke up, I was surprised to find Raine's arms still wrapped around me, his legs draped across mine. He held me in an iron grip so I couldn't get away. But with my ass still full of his cum, I needed another shower.

I lifted his arm and shimmied away from him. But as I reached the edge of the bed, he yanked me back into his arms. "Where the fuck do you think you're going?"

"To the bathroom. I need to wash my ass," I grumbled.

He rolled onto me, trapping me underneath him. "Nah. I like your ass better when it's full of my cum. You're staying right here."

I gazed up at his blue-green eyes. They reminded me of the ocean. Intoxicating, beautiful, and deadly as fuck, ready to pull you down in a rip tide. "Why didn't I know I was dead this whole time?"

Raine ran his thumb across my lips. "You disassociated from the trauma." He planted a soft kiss on my cheek before dragging the tip of his tongue along my jaw.

My breath hitched. The slightest touch from him sent spasms to my core. "Why am I still here? Poe, Grim, and Saint are cursed. And you're just fucking stubborn. But why didn't I cross over? "

He inched himself down my body until his face was level with my breast. His lips parted over it. I let out a little gasp as he stuck out his tongue and rolled it over my pebbled nipple. "Because you're just as stubborn as I am…" He puckered his lips and blew against my wet nipple. "And because you belong here with me."

I arched my back, moaning as he moved to my other breast and sucked. Moisture pooled between my legs as he raked his teeth across my nipple. " Fuck …"

He inched his tongue farther down, leaving a trail of saliva down my rib cage and across my belly. Goosebumps pebbled my arms. Fuck. There were so many sides to this man. Last night he was rough and brutal as he violated me. But now… this was slow and agonizing. I couldn't decide which turned me on more.

He pushed my thighs apart and released a slow steady stream of spit onto my pussy. "I don't like sharing what's mine. But I will for you, little vixen. So long as you don't ever deny me."

My hips jerked as his saliva trickled down my slit. My god, why was that so fucking hot? "I-I won't."

"Good." He peeled the lips of my pussy back and licked me from taint to nub.

I moaned, my legs shaking, as a deep spasm burst from my core.

"Because if you ever try to…" He flicked his tongue over my clit. "I will drag you away from this house and you will never see them again."

Wait, what?

"Raine, what are you talking— "

He plunged his tongue deep inside my pussy. Oh fuck. My head was spinning. I opened my mouth to speak but a scream came out instead as he worked the tip of his tongue against my G-spot.

I yanked on his hair, but he was too strong. He dug his fingers deep into my thighs as he devoured me.

"Raine," I breathed. "Fuck, it's too much… wait."

He growled inside me, scraping his teeth against my folds as he sucked and licked hungrily.

The pressure climbed in my core, sending tingles to every inch of my body. I lifted my hips and rocked against his face. "Oh, shit… don't fucking stop."

I needed him to, but I didn't want him to. Fucking hell. I was in so much fucking trouble.

Raine chuckled as he fingered my clit while he worked his mouth over my sopping wet pussy, not leaving any inch untouched.

I dug my nails into his skull as another spasm rolled through me. "Fuck… I'm cumming."

"Mmm," he moaned.

I gasped as he pinched my clit hard between his fingers. I rubbed myself against his mouth, my heart racing as I chased every wave of pleasure.

My limbs trembled as he lapped up my cream.

"Breakfast of fucking champions," he rasped. He stroked my pussy as I came down. "Mmm, my tasty little cunt."

Another orgasm threatened to claim me as he planted a firm kiss on my clit. "Raine, what did you mean drag me away?"

A smirk pulled up the corners of his cream-covered lips. He pushed out his tongue and licked it off. "I think I made myself very clear."

My stomach knotted. "Raine… are you able to leave this house?"

His eyes lit up with amusement. "Of course, I can. "

A shiver crawled up my back. "Then why haven't you? I don't understand. Why stay in a house that burned down?"

Raine slithered back up my body until we were at eye level. "Because this is my house. And everything in it belongs to me." He wrapped his hand around my neck and squeezed. "But if you ever try to push me away, I will take you somewhere else."

He really was fucking psycho. And yet I couldn't ever imagine being away from him.

I whimpered as his cock stiffened against my thigh. "I won't…" I rasped.

"If you try to leave, I will find you." His eyes darkened as he nudged my thighs apart. "I will always find you." He pushed his cock inside my pussy.

I cried out as he shoved deeper, his girth stretching me open. "I won't run away…"

His grip tightened around my throat. "I know you won't." He pulled out slowly. "Because you're my dirty little slut." I moaned as he thrust in harder, so deep I could feel the pressure in my lower back. " Now call for them ."

Fuck. "Raine, no…"

"Do it," he snarled. "I want them to watch me fuck you."

A spasm coiled around my clit at the thought. They hated him. And yet they were just as sick and depraved as he was.

He pulled halfway out and stilled. "Call for them or I'll finish fucking you in the front yard so all the neighbors can see how needy your cunt is for me."

Fuck. I knew he wasn't bluffing. I sucked in a sharp breath. "Poe," I called out.

Raine drove his cock back into me. "Good girl."

I screamed as he filled me to the hilt. "Grim."

" Louder ."

"Saint," I screamed .

Footsteps pounded up the stairs right before the door burst open.

The three of them froze at the foot of the bed, their fists clenched.

"It's okay," I panted.

"What the fuck, Raine?" Saint growled.

Raine snickered. "I want you to see how well your little fox takes my cock."

I bucked as he rolled his hips, as every ridge of his cock throbbed against my walls.

Poe walked around to the side of the bed and pulled out his cock. He bit down on his lip as he stroked himself. "Fuck, you're so deep."

I arched my back as he rolled his hips again, lifting my ass off the bed. "She likes it deep. Don't you, little vixen?"

Grim walked to the other side of the bed and gazed down at me. "Yeah, she does."

"Fuck her harder," Saint rasped.

Raine pounded into me. "You will cum for them, little vixen. But you will scream out my name."

The pressure in my core erupted as I glanced around the room. They weren't angry. No. Their faces dripped with arousal, an animalistic lust.

I bucked as my orgasm ripped through me. Clenching around his swollen cock, I let out a bloodcurdling scream. " Raine! "

"Fuck," he cried out as his cum filled my pussy, hot and thick.

Grim caressed my forehead as I came down. "Fuck, that was hot."

A deep moan erupted out of Poe as his cream shot out onto my chest, soaking my breasts.

Saint stalked over and dipped his fingers in it then shoved them in my mouth, pushing all the way to the back of my throat. " Good girl . "

I gagged as I sucked Poe's cum off Saint's fingers while Raine's cock still throbbed inside me.

It was one of the dirtiest things I'd ever done. One of the vilest things Raine had done to me so far. He was beyond psychotic. Raine was a fucking animal without restraint. Poe, Grim, and Saint hid it better, but they were no different.

It only made me crave them more.

Maureen gazed out at the garden, the wind rustling her hair. She was quiet all through breakfast and it worried me.

I sat next to her on the stone bench. "You okay, Maur?"

She sighed. "I'm still processing."

I nodded. "We've had a crazy night, haven't we?"

A sob wrenched from her throat. "You died, Bales… My best friend is dead."

I grabbed her by the shoulders and turned her toward me. " I'm right here . Just like I've always been. This doesn't change anything."

She threw her arms around my neck. "We're not gonna grow old together."

There were a lot of things we wouldn't be able to do together. But I've made peace with it. What other choice did I have? "No, we're not. But not that many people do. Let's not worry about that now. You've got me for the rest of your life and beyond."

Maureen sniffled against my shoulder. "What if there is no beyond ? Some of you are stuck here while others just disappeared."

I'd be lying to myself if I didn't admit I'd been wondering where my parents were ever since I found out I was dead. I wanted to believe there was an afterlife and that someday I'd get there and see them again. Maybe the world of the living wasn't ready to let me go. I knew that as long as Poe, Grim, and Saint were cursed to this house, I wasn't going anywhere. Not without them .

I refuse .

"No one knows, Maur. That's the big mystery, isn't it? Even in death, I know nothing more than you do. But we have to keep going. You have such an amazing life ahead of you. And I will always be here waiting for you, in Wickford Hollow."

Tears streamed down her cheeks. "I'm so angry, Bales. And I'm scared."

I rubbed at the goosebumps on her arm. "I know. I am too. But as long as we have each other, we'll get through this… Did you send out the Halloween invite?"

She pulled her vape out of her pocket and took a long drag. "It's done. A bunch of people already replied back saying they're coming."

I nodded. "Good. Meet me later tonight at Electra's boutique. We're gonna need some costumes."

"Some extra slutty ones," Maureen quipped. "This might be our last Halloween together…"

My stomach knotted. As much as I hated the fact that my best friend was moving away soon, I desperately needed her to make new friends and be happy. And I would be happy too… after tomorrow night.

A shiver snaked up my neck. "It's going to be Billy and Chad's last Halloween too."
