It's Thursday night, and once again we're down in the dungeon. Declan gives his full report as I kneel naked inside the circle of powerful men. I cringe when he mentions the shattered bathroom door and my escape attempt. Then it turns to full-on crying as I remember the first night when Cade warned me not to try to escape, that I would be punished severely... that there might be scarring.

“Strap her to the table,” Rafe says.

“She's working through things. It's hard for her. This isn't her world,” Declan says, still protecting me. He's standing between me and Rafe.

“She must obey,” Rafe says as though I'm not even in the room. “We can't allow these slips. What about Saturday? She has to learn her place here and fast. She's going to be punished. And she's going to learn.”

“Master, Please... please I'm sorry...”

Declan puts his hand over my mouth. “Shhh,” he says. When he's confident I'll stay quiet, he takes his hand away and turns his attention back to Rafe. “I marked her. She accepted my claim. So she's more mine right now than she is yours.”

“That will change,” Rafe says.

“Until it does, I said no.”

“Are you challenging me?”

“I'm asking you to follow your own laws.”

“Fine,” Rafe snarls.

Declan steps back into the circle with the other men. I chance a glance up to find Rafe's hard expression aimed at me. I'm lost in fathomless pits of black that could easily drown me. All the others have been surprisingly kind, but this guy is different. Why are they doing this? Why do they listen to him?

“I'm sure I can guess which one of the remaining two of us you're choosing tonight,” Rafe says with an undisguised sneer.

I point to the only remaining male besides the leader. Because there is no question that I will take anyone over this guy.

Rafe leans in close to my ear and whispers. “Tomorrow night, you're mine. And no one can save you.” Then he leads the other men out of the room, and I'm alone with my new master.

“Don't let him rattle you, kitten,” the man says. “He would never harm you. You're too important.”

Oh yes, such an important fuck toy. They can't possibly find another woman in the world to do this to. I repress the eye roll because even though this man isn't Rafe, he's still participating in this.

“I'm Archer,” he says, “But you won't be calling me that.” He winks and smiles at me, and it's at this point that I notice he has a dimple. He seems so disarming. He has sun-streaked blond hair, much like Declan's, except his eyes are green rather than blue. A sharp light bright green that shouldn't be possible in nature.

His hand slips into mine and he leads me up the stairs, down the main hall, up the second set of stairs and to his room. Archer's room looks like a grunge band exploded in it. He has classic punk rock posters all over his wall. A large solid black bed with black bedding—no animal pelts.
