’His fingers dipped lower onto my collarbone and traced the dark outlines of my chest tattoo. And then lower.
“Seb, quit playing with the new toy, please.” Tristan’s voice was like a bucket of cold water. I had literally just been kidnapped. And here I was like a bitch in heat from a few soft touches on my bruised neck.’
no annoying characters?? thats a plus in in my book
”Shoes off,” he said, pointing at my boots.
Holding my shirt to the front of me as I bent over, I unlaced them and slipped them off. I picked them up to take them upstairs with me, but he shook his head.
“These cost more money than I had to spend, asshole. I’m not leaving them lying around in a strange house.”
“Scarlet, seriously. We are holding you for ransom and you think we are going to fuck with your shoes?” I shrugged and hugged them tighter to my chest. He sighed.
2 stars seemed harsh huh? bcs this was really not bad. but idunno blame it on my slump or whatever but yeah
’His other hand came up to my face and he trailed his finger lightly over the scar. “Who did that to you, little one?”
“Someone that definitely didn’t get what they deserved.”
“Mm,” he murmured, taking my jaw in his hand and running his thumb along the jagged line instead. He nuzzled his face into my hair. “I can remedy that. Do you want to hear what I would do to them, princess?” Before I could stop myself, I gave a slight nod. Despite myself, I was curious as to what his particular brand of torture would be.
“I would cut off each and every finger that touched you, knuckle by knuckle.” His breath was hot against my ear as he took it between his teeth. “I would string them up and cut them all over their body just as they cut you. I would cauterize each wound so that they didn’t bleed out and die too quickly. I like to play with my food.” I squeezed my thighs together at the ache growing there. “I would let you watch,” he said as he licked my scar.
God, this should really not be doing things to my body.
“You can sleep now, little one.” He rolled off the bed and jumped onto his feet. “Sleep well knowing I will personally castrate anyone who tries to put their filthy hands on you.” And with that, he was out the door, locking it quickly behind him.
ohh i know what my other prob was; things between the mcs just moved too quickly / easily for my taste. this was pretty short, but it is gonna be a series, so why not take ur time??

"We leave in two hours. Get showered and dressed and be ready when we come for you." With that, he shut the door behind him, and I heard the lock slide into place.
"Phrasing! I yelled through the door."
