I look over my shoulder to find the owner of the smooth tone. Another large man, his body tight and muscular, though not as broad-shouldered as Jet, with sandy hair and bright green eyes, steps out from the shadows.
Jet gives him a greeting with a tilt of his chin. “Hey, Liam. Tell our little visitor here what parts of the legend she got right.”
He steps forward, his jade eyes burning into mine. I catch the faintest hint of his woodsy cologne. “You mean about how we punish naughty little girls we catch snooping.” “Spank them until they’re begging us for mercy.” Jet gives a dark chuckle. Liam’s eyes rove over my body as he crosses his arms over his chest. “Make their pretty asses red like a cherry—”
“Then use them for our pleasure,” Jet answers.
My life might be on the line but the first question that pops out of my mouth is on clarifying facts for my article—are they talking about anal? “Wait—use the women, or use their asses?” They answer in unison. “Both.”
Jet smiles. “We like to punish them, inside and out.”
“Tell me more, gentlemen.” My throat suddenly feels impossibly tight but I press on with my information gathering mission. I’m getting direct quotes right from the source. I swallow hard. “But only if they consent, right? I mean… you wouldn’t take a woman that didn’t want to be with you?”
Liam gives his own dark chuckle. “But you will want to be with us.”
Jet’s eyes undress me. “Not only because of what we can do to that tight little body of yours.”
“But because if you don’t submit to our way, you’ll still be punished.” Liam steps closer. So does Jet. “But not by us.”
I take a step back. “What do you mean? What will happen to me?”
“Like I said, the Brotherhood doesn’t like snoops.” His tone is heavy, his words a warning. Jet crosses his arms over his chest, pushing up his already insanely huge biceps. “We can always turn you in to the cops for trespassing. Or, call your magazine and let them know that you went about gaining your information in the most unethical way.”
“Wait—you know about my article?” I squeak.
Liam raises a brow. “Yes, and you sneaking around gathering information, it’s no different from stealing, is it?”
“And those who steal from the Brotherhood rarely live to tell the tale.” Jet’s words make me shiver.
Liam leans in, his face close to mine. “What’s it going to be, Lulu? Or should we call you Lourdes?”
They know my name. They know my intentions. A sick feeling swirls through my insides. My shaking words tumble from my mouth. “It’s Lulu to you.”
“What’s it going to be?” Jet asks. “Are you going to take your punishment from us, or should we call your boss and lodge a complaint, Lulu? The Bachmans have a lot of influence in this city, as I’m sure you’re already well aware.”
Liam shrugs. “Or we could take her to Rockland. Though there’s no telling what he’d do to her.”
I can’t lose my job. I can’t go to jail. And I do not want to face the head of this family— he’s not going to look lightly on my trespassing.
My only choice?
To submit to these two men.
To let them punish me however they choose.
The knowledge should have me panicked, have me wanting to run, wanting to cry. Instead I find a calm, curious warmth spreading over my entire body. Much like when I wake from my recurring dream.
I look into Jet’s blue eyes, then Liam’s green ones. Taking a deep breath, I hold up my chin—though I’m about to lose, I can try to retain my pride. “I choose your way. But know this— I don’t go down without a fight.”
They exchange a knowing glance—as if they’ve just won a contest, and my body is their prize.
