Tanesha watched them go and shivered with dread. For some reason she couldn’t fathom, she didn’t want Skull to leave her alone with the thugs. She saw Mickey sitting quietly in a corner of the room, watching TV. He would turn once in a while to look at her and from those brief looks, Tanesha could tell just how upset he was with her. Well, he could sulk all he wanted, Tanesha thought. She’d been looking out for herself. After all, he wasn’t the one being held against his will.
One of the thugs who came with Ghost came closer to Tanesha and began to run his fingers through her hair. She felt her skin crawl but didn’t even flinch. At that point, she didn’t really care what anybody wanted to do with her because there was nothing she could do about it.
“Damn, your hair is long.” The thug breathed. “I thought it was artificial. I wanted to come rip it out.” He suddenly gripped her hair painfully. “And you have such a smooth skin.” He murmured, bringing out his tongue to lick Tanesha’s cheek. “I can’t wait to fuck you, bitch.”
“I think you’ll have to wait your turn, Jack,” Mickey said quietly from right beside them, startling Tanesha. She’d tuned herself off to the extent that she hadn’t seen Mickey move from his chair.
“Hey, Little Mickey wants a piece too huh?” The thug who Tanesha now knew as Jack said, letting go of her hair. “No worries, I’ll let you go first.” He chuckled. “That will be best anyway because by the time I’m done with that pussy, she’ll be too big for you.” Raucous laughter erupted from the others at his words.
Tanesha watched him go join his friends in front of the TV and turned grateful eyes onto Mickey. But he only turned and went back to his seat. Even though Tanesha was saddened by the fact that Mickey felt she’d betrayed him, she knew that if an opportunity presented itself again, she would be out of the door in a blink. She was human after all. And it was only natural that she would want to escape. For now, she couldn’t do much. She didn’t know what Skull had in store for her but was ready for whatever they were going to throw at her.
They could cut her, rape her, beat her up…torture her however they wanted, she would take it like the tough girl she was. Tanesha knew how criminals like the men about to torture her, loved to hear their victims beg. She would never give them the satisfaction of hearing her beg Tanesha vowed to herself.
But by the time Skull was through with her later, Tanesha didn’t remember any such vow.

Outside, Ty had a lengthy chat with Ghost. He filed away every piece of information that Ghost released. By giving Ghost some constructive pointers, Ty earned Ghost’s trust and respect even more. The man was so impressed with Ty’s strategic thinking he didn’t hesitate to give him detailed information about his current operations. Ty couldn’t believe just how wicked the man was. And at that point, he knew he had to be very careful not to give himself up. Ghost was a ruthless monster.
“Enough of this talk.” Ghost slapped Ty on the back. “We have to leave.” He gestured towards the chopper they’d flown to the Island in. “What do you say the boys have some fun with the little lady huh?”
“About that.” Skull started, choosing his words carefully. “See how she is? All high and mighty and stuck-up?”
“Yes?” Ghost listened attentively.
“I know her type. She can’t really be bothered if we hurt her. Hell, she’ll be expecting that.” Ty chuckled. “What will hurt her to no end is actually fucking her and making her enjoy it.”
“Really?” Ghost looked incredulous.
“Trust me on this Ghost. I’ve dealt with women like her so I know what I’m talking about.” Ty smirked. “Put yourself in her shoes for a second. Now imagine actually enjoying being fucked by a ‘thug’.” Ty gave the word quotations with his fingers. “Don’t be surprised if she attempts suicide afterward. In fact, I should probably start making her sleep in my room instead, to keep an eye on her.”
“She’ll be devastated if her body actually betrays her.” Ghost said slowly. “I like this.” He burst into laughter. “You’re a smart man, Skull. So who’s going to…”
“I’ll do it,” Skull said dryly. He actually managed to sound bored. “She hates my guts. And I’ll enjoy nothing more than hearing her scream with pleasure against her will.”
“Damn, you’re good.” Ghost grinned. “But you have to do it in front of everyone. Humiliate her even more. At least the guys will get to enjoy the show now that they’re not going to partake in what they hoped would be a gang bang. They’ll be disappointed but…”
“Ghost…”
“Come on. The sooner we get this show on the road, the sooner we can get outta here.” Ghost entered the room, leaving a confused Ty behind.
“Oh fuck!” Ty swore.
He knew he was cornered. There was no way he was going to get out of this one without raising questions and endangering their lives. Shit! He also knew Tanesha was going to hate him even more than she already did if he actually went through with it. But there was nothing he could do about it. Unless… Ty pulled his secure phone from his pocket.

“Okay people.” Tanesha raised her head when she heard Ghost’s voice. “Change of plans.” He grinned at Tanesha evilly.
“Do we ballot now?” One of the thugs who came with Ghost snarled.
“No guys.” Ghost chuckled. “There’s not going to be a gang bang today.” He raised his hand for silence when the men started grumbling. “You can have your daisy chain fun with her on our next visit. Today, there’s going to be something even better. Skull has decided to give us a good show.” He turned to watch as Ty entered the room and closed the door firmly behind him. The faces of the men brightened again with interest. “So relax and enjoy.”
Tanesha watched as Skull approached her, looking so fierce and taut. His posture was pure predatory, making him look like a predator stalking its prey. She had to give it to the man…he was sexy as fuck, Tanesha thought as a shiver ran down her spine and goosebumps broke out across her skin. She swallowed hard. Only God knew what Skull was about to do to her. It definitely couldn’t be good. Tanesha was almost hyperventilating, wondering what Skull was going to do to her.
