I walk up the steps with Maz and Birdie behind me.
Before I knock on the massive black door, it opens.
“Ronan,” I say.
“Yup,” he says.
Behind him Cullen appears.
He steps around Ronan and reaches for my right hand.
“You’re here,” Cullen says. “Finally. And you’re not alone.”
“Nope,” I say.
“They can’t come in,” Lazarus calls out.
“What?” I ask.
“Rules,” Cullen says.
“So no other person is allowed in here?” I ask. “Please.”
“There are exceptions,” Mattia says.
“Like what?” I ask. “When you bring someone here to fuck?”
“Exactly,” Gabriele says.
“That’s my plan then,” I say. “I brought twoThornshere so I could fuck them.”
I see the way all their eyes light up.
Typical dude perverts.
Picturing two -or three- women together.
Thinking about all those stupid videos they watched, thinking that stuff is actually real.
“Jaci,” Cullen whispers. “This is for you. Not them.”
I turn my head.
“We’re fine,” Birdie says.
“We’ll wait right here,” Maz says.
“This is bullshit,” I say. “This is why I’m not staying here.”
“Let me show you your room,” Cullen says.
I step into the large house and look around.
The house has a large foyer, a set of wide stairs to the second floor.
Which is where Cullen leads me.
We go upstairs alone.
