Dangerous Lies (Lies 5)

I can’t think about…

I just can’t.

We have to win.

“Who—who are these men?”

“Most work for the Browns. The others are worse.”

And then I feel her gripping my cock. I don’t give a shit what she does. She can rip my cock from my body all I care.

Rose.

Atlas.

Declan.

We can’t fail.

We won’t fail.

If we fail, we have to fight to the death to get them back.

My eyes lock on Liesel, and her jealousy vanishes. She’s no longer concerned that a sadistic woman is doing god knows what to my cock right now. She realizes why there are only men here—sick men who want our daughter.

Phoenix and her family were hurt more than we thought, and she plans on making us pay. All of these men know who we are, and they are going to do everything they can to destroy us, to hurt us. Humiliating us on this flimsy stage is the least of what they plan on doing.

They don’t know who we are, though. There may be doubt about whether Liesel and I truly love each other, but there is no doubt that we love our children. They don’t know the depths we will go to to protect them.

They’re about to find out.

I don’t know how I didn’t realize it before, but in a flash, a flip in my mind switches, and I realize what’s happening.

Why there are only men in the room playing the game.

Why Zeke and I are the only ones completing the bets.

Why it’s us versus them.

Atlas is the prize.

If we fail…no, there is no failing.

I felt that before, but I feel it even stronger now.

We won’t lose. We won’t back down. Even if the game is purposefully rigged against us, it won’t stop us.

Langston may feel like I betrayed him before, but everything I did was out of love for him. He’s like a brother to me, same to Zeke. We will do whatever it takes to keep his child safe.

That?

?s what keeps me going round after round.

It’s what keeps me walking up on the shady stage that feels like it will collapse under my feet every time I take a step. It’s what keeps me removing clothing item after clothing item until I’m naked in front of a room full of men. Until I’ve bled all I can. Until I no longer feel humiliated from their stares and chuckles. Until I’ve given up all of myself.
