sometimes.”
“Yeah, your fun gets my dick in trouble.” Shad finished his beer and sat the bottle on the bar.
Law laughed again as Shad wrapped his massive arms around the little woman in front of him. “Ready to go baby?”
Nikole let her eyes run up the black chains that encircled his arms and fronwed.
“Mmmhmm.” Lacey nuzzled her nose into the man’s neck.
Nikole caught the wink Lacey sent her and then they were gone.
Nikole found herself staring at Law. When he smiled he was almost handsome, if his eyes weren’t so cold. If he didn’t speak he would be panty dropping gorgeous, but he was a bastard to the bone and every word betrayed it.
“Do they live nearby?” She asked trying to sound flippant.
Law frowned. He got in her face until their noses touched. “What the fuck do you care? You don’t get to talk to her. She is an old lady and you are a whore. Don’t try to mix, you ain’t in the same league.”
For some reason that hurt. Nikole felt her eyes well with tears and she shoved both hands into Law’s chest hard.
“You really are an asshole Lawless.”
He was in her face again as if her hands were nothing. “So? What the fuck do you care what I am? All I want from you is your pussy and maybe your mouth when I want to stick my dick in it. Queenie is worth more than you ever will be. I trust her. I will never trust you. Like I said you can’t compare. Best get that through your fucking head from the start. ”
“And you are an asshole who could never compare to a real man.”
He gripped her throat again and this time she thought he’d choke her, but he just held on until he saw enough fear in her eyes and let go.
“You will learn to keep your fucking mouth shut.”
“Yeah I guess so.”
“Where the fuck have you been Nikki?”
“I’d tell you, but I’m learning to keep my fucking mouth shut.”
She thought she saw something glimmer in his eyes, but that would mean he was human and Law wasn’t human. She ground her teeth as she turned and walked away from Law. She wiped her tears and climbed back on the bar. She may have just made a mistake there, but she was damned tired of him treating her like she was worthless. She was starting to believe him.
Three
Nikole struggled to her feet. Teddy had made her move into a tiny apartment not far from Tease. That was where he had taken her from her bed just after she’d escaped the party. He had beaten and questioned her for hours. Then he had given her to his friends to play with while he made his sick plans. He did say they couldn’t fuck her though, but that didn’t save her from their other disgusting actions. She could still feel their hands sliding over her body and she wanted to shower again. She was glad Dax had been busy, he wouldn’t have been denied anything. He already claimed her as his property and Nikole knew he wouldn’t be kind to her the way Shad had been to Lacey.
The Defenders were not gentlemen, but these were far worse. The Devils hurt her just to hear her scream. The harder she fought the more they enjoyed her and the more she lost herself. Before the night had ended she’d just gone cold and still as they forced her to touch them and as they did as they pleased to her. She was sore and she was bruised all over. Last night had been the first time Teddy had given her to his men and it had killed something inside of her. Now she was exactly what Law had called Mace that first day. A pussy with legs and she didn’t even have the nice tits. She was no longer a person. She was no longer the little girl her mother had loved. No longer the woman who had laughed and had fun with friends. Nikole was dead. Now all that was left was Nikki, a whore and a stripper and no one would mourn her when she was dead. For the first time she was almost glad that her mother was dead so she couldn’t witness the total mess Nikki’s
