Into the Darkness (Darkness #1)(16)

“Ah, Jared. Just in time.” Jonas slid his dick into Carrot Top’s mouth.

“What the—?” Jared froze, stunned.

“Howdy partner, good to see ya again. Let’s go ahead and invite you inside, huh?” Charles ushered him in, hitting him with a good Dose of pheromones to loosen him up. Human males had the propensity to scream with their first experiences with other men. They really needed to relax and just let the good times happen.

Which was exactly what Charles was helping him do with the Dose.

“What’s happening?” Jared stared down at his roommate, currently taking Jonas’s dick in hungry, deep gulps.

Charles sighed, impatiently staring at Jonas. “C’mon, bro. Hurry this along. I’m getting a weird feeling we’re going to get caught.”

“The Boss is on the other side of the city. He’s dealing with a turf breach. We’re good. I’m… almost…” Jonas flexed, his h*ps jutting out.

Charles noticed two slim hands reaching for his crotch. He slapped them away and stepped toward the door. “I’m not in the mood, kid. Jonas, handle this guy, would ya?”

Jonas let out a low moan, coating Carrot Top in something that was irritating to get off. It was another reason Charles preferred the ladies—cleanup was much easier when you were on the receiving end.

Breathless for a moment but not inactive, Jonas stepped forward and slipped a bag over Jared’s head. Before Charles could protest, Jonas had the kid’s hands bound behind his back and over a shoulder.

As they walked out the door, Charles asked, “Aren’t you going to mind wipe Carrot Top? I don’t think he’s g*y. This will severely f**k with his head.”

“Human males should be more open. This’ll help him.”

All Charles could do was shake his head. He had a really bad feeling about all this.

Chapter Seven

“Damn it!” I sat forward in the still room, silence wrapping me in a thick blanket. A moment of contemplation had me catapulting out of my bed and into some sweats. It was just after ten at night and I knew Jared would still be up.

“Think they can just keep sucking my brain out of my head, do they?” I jerked my hood over my head. “Well, joke’s on them—just like school, it doesn’t stick!”

I slipped into my tennis shoes and snatched my handbag. “I am going to give them a piece of my mind! Just as soon as I make sure Jared isn’t in some weird orgy!”

Just like the last time I spent a whole day with no recollection as to what happened the night before, I awoke remembering everything. Only this time, the recall was faster. It was as if my brain remembered the path out, and took it just as soon as my consciousness got out of the way.

I hesitated at the door for a brief second…then shrugged and grabbed my rape whistle off the table by the door. You just never knew.

I really needed to get a proper weapon…

Fifteen minutes later and I was knocking on Jared’s apartment door. It opened with a swirl of desperation, his red-headed roommate looking out at me, butt-ass naked.

“Uh…” I cleared my throat and stepped backward. “What, uh…what’s going on, Billy? You, uh…you’re naked…”

“I sucked a man’s dick!”

I’d been doing a lot of confused blinking in the last couple of days, and this was no exception. “That’s something. Is, uh, is Jared here?”

“Did you hear me? Why the f**k did I suck a man’s dick, Sasha? Am I g*y?” Billy’s eyes were wild and unfocused. His c**k was standing on end.

Suddenly I knew exactly what happened—two guys that liked to prey on straight boys had happened—and it wasn’t very nice to leave his memories intact. Poor Billy was scared out of his head, having known he liked girls his whole life and suddenly unsure; but unlike a drunken night of experimentation, he had been blind-sided. Unfortunately, I didn’t know how to talk him down, nor did I want to get any closer. Billy’s eyes were starting to lose their focus, sliding down my body in unmasked lust.

“I need to screw you,” he said immediately.

I took another step back. “Is Jared in there?”

“Nah, he got kidnapped. C’mon pretty pu**y cat, I wanna pet you.”

“You need to stay in your house until this wears off, Billy. You’re dangerous.”

“I’m a thrill ride. Wanna ticket?”

Ugh! I turned and ran down the hall, looking back before I hit the stairs to make sure Billy turned back into his house. Miracle of miracles, thankfully he did.

“Kidnapped?” I asked myself, knowing full well it was Charles and that other, scary guy.

Outside his apartment complex I slowed to a walk, thinking. How would I know where they took him? Because I had to get him back—that was a given. I could go back to that alleyway where those guys tended to pop up, but having been accosted by a homeless man, and met by crazy monsters that could spit out other, more colorful monsters, I wasn’t in a hurry to go alone.

I sank into the driver’s seat of my Firebird. Those guys must live somewhere. They may not be human, apparently, but everything needed a place to reside. So the question then became: Where did they live?

Probably on the bad side of town, since the Boss referred to it as his territory.
