SWNOVELS Chapter 17
Chapter 171
It’s been a couple days since the k*ss with Garrett and even though he’s not being a total douchebag, he’s still reverted back to acting like a King. I’m not sure what to think, because although I like it when he’s nice to me, the no bullshit attitudes of the Kings tend to turn me on. That’s the attitude that I’m getting tonight as we spend a quiet night with just the four of us in the family room, watching movies.
As always, they send me to the kitchen for refreshments, but as I pass through the front foyer, there is a knock on the door, so I go and open it. There is no one at the door, but there is a box sitting on the front stoop, so I grab it and go back inside. I notice that it is addressed to
opening it, only when I do and I reach in to push away the tissue paper, my hand comes back all bloody; I drop the box and I scream.

The guys come running out of the family room and stop dead in their tracks when they see me standing here with blood all over my hand. I point to the box on the floor. “T–There was a k–knock on the door. T- That was on the s–stoop with my n–name on it.” I can’t stop shaking or stuttering.
Garrett reaches me first and pulls me against him, making sure my bloody hand remains away from both of us. Trip picks up the box and looks inside, grimacing before pulling out a note and handing the box to Xander.
“Fly away little birdie, we don’t want your kind in our town. If you don’t fly away fast enough, you will end up like this one.” Trip reads from the note and then looks at Xander with concern.
Xander pulls a dead bird out of the box by its little leg. The poor thing

had been stabbed in its tiny chest. A sob breaks free from my lips, but it’s more for the life of the little bird that was cut short because of me. Who have I pissed off that would want me to leave, I don’t understand!– I pull away from Garrett and head towards the stairs.
“Where are you going, Red?”
“I’m leaving. I’m going back to Hillcrest, so all of this stops!”
I’m pulled back roughly, “The hell you are! The Kings don’t run from this sort of thing, and I won’t allow you to run either!” Xander growls as he grips both my upper arms.
“You’re not the boss of me, Xander! I’m an adult and can make my own decisions. If someone wants me gone, fine, I’ll leave, and nob*dy can. stop me!” I try to break free, “You can’t keep me here, I will leave the first chance I get!”
“I guess that only leaves us one choice then, doesn’t it?” He scowls and then nods towards Garrett.
Garrett leaves for a brief moment but then comes back with a few sets of cuffs, grinning as he hands a set to my stepbrother, “Are you out of your f**king mind?” I ask incredulously, “This is illegal, you can’t keep me here!”
“Who are you going to tell, the cops? Sorry sweet cheeks but we own the police in this town, or have you forgotten that already?” He shoves me against the wall, none too gently, and pins my arms above my head, “We can do whatever the fuck we want, and nob*dy will bat an eye,” His eyes sweep down my b*dy, “We can do whoever the fuck we want and no one…will…care. You’re just lucky that we are patient and are willing to wait for you to come to us willingly, but make no mistake, Bree, you will come to us, and you will beg us…

I scoff, “In your f**king dreams!”
Suddenly, duct tape is being placed over my mouth by Trip and they all smirk, even Garrett, making me lose all hope of getting him to help me at all. Xander closes a set of leather cuffs over both wrists and then I’m being tossed over his shoulder. I struggle, trying to get him to drop me, even though I know it will hurt like a bitch, but at least I can try and run, but all he does is bring his hand down on my ass, hard, as he starts up the stairs to the second floor.
My eyes sting just before tears begin to fall. I’m staring disappointedly at Garrett as he watches Xander take me up to God knows where. I feel let down by the one who I thought I could lean on when things got tough, but I was wrong. He is like the other two, whenever an
opportunity arises, he will take it, and I fell for it. Actually, no, I didn‘ t, I knew. Deep down, I knew, but I still wanted it.
I’m surprised when Xander takes me to my own room and tosses me on the bed. He takes hold of my ankle, though, as soon as I try moving away. He drags me up the bed until he can hook the other set of cuffs to the metal framed headboard, locking me in place.
“I didn’t want to do this, Bree, but you have left me no choice.” He’s panting a little and it gives me a little bit of satisfaction knowing that I made him work at something, “We are trying to keep you safe, and it’s obvious that you don’t care about your own well–being, so we will have to do it for you.”
What the actual fuck is their problem? Why won’t they just let me
goes/into
leave, so they can go back to their own life instead of having to babysit me? I watch as he goes into the bathroom and then comes back with a wet cloth with soap. He washes all the blood off my hands and then tosses the cloth into the garbage can before turning his attention back
on me.

“Looks like you are going to need some time to think, Bree. Until we figure out who is sending you all these threats, you are not safe, even if you do go back to Hillcrest. Who’s to say the sick fuck won’t follow you? No, you
Will stay here and let us handle it.” He then hooks his fingers into the waist of my bottoms and pulls down.
I begin to squirm, thinking the worst is about to happen when he pulls them all the way off. My panties are still on, though, and then he covers me with my blankets. He sits on the edge of the bed and caresses my hair and then my cheek. I try to move away but he only chuckles, “I can do so many things to you right now, Bree. I think it would be so hot to fuck my stepsister as she’s cuffed and gagged, but I‘ m not a rapist.” Keeping his eyes on me the whole time, he leans over and places his lips on the tape over my mouth briefly, “One day, Bree, I’m going to feel what your lips feel like and taste the same thing Garrett got to taste. We all will, because one day, you will finally realize that you belong to us, Bree. You belong to the Kings.”
