Chapter Three

Guards led Lana and the gladiators beneath the Senator’s house. Several gates were unlocked and opened. The same gates were closed and locked behind them, with squeals that seemed to reach straight to her soul.

She curled closer to Adonis as they came to the tunnels that were the gladiators’ sleeping quarters. All twelve men filed into the darkness, lit only by flickering torches every so often. The cold was almost unbearable in the darkness of the stone-lined halls.

Like a tomb.

She jumped when the last gate was slammed closed behind them.

“Adonis?”

“Hum?” His jaw had been locked since the Senator’s speech, and something about the dangerous glint in his eyes made her nervous.

“You’re scaring me.”

He froze and looked down at her. “Why?”

“What’s wrong?”

“Oh.” He continued walking.

She looked away from him, her uncertainty building, and realized they were walking past one tiny room after another. The rooms were bare, other than a few trinkets, and pallets with thin blankets on top.

“Do you understand what the Senator has done?” Adonis asked, his words soft.

She shook her head.

“We wanted this to be over. To touch you gently tonight. To hold you gently. To show you that we are more than what that man tried to make us into tonight. But now?” His hands tightened around her.

“What?”

They entered a large, surprisingly warm, room. She glanced around and saw that an underground spring had created a large bathing area of some sort in the center of the room. A crude firepit lit the other end of the room, and a few tables and chairs were scattered about.

“Is this where I’ll be sleeping?” she asked.

Cadmus moved in front of them. “Adonis just doesn’t know how to tell you that you’re in for a lot more fucking tonight.”

Her entire body stiffened.

Adonis cursed and shoved Cadmus.

“Whoa!” Damon said, pushing between them. “Cadmus, you could’ve said that differently. And Adonis, she needed to hear it one way or another.”

“More sex?” Lana asked, her head still spinning.

Damon shrugged. “These men could take you over and over tonight, and still might be hard for you in the morning. But none of us are willing to have you hurt…”

“A couple more days!” Adonis swore. “We just needed a couple more days.”

Cadmus glared at him. “We don’t have a couple more days, so unless you want her to be too injured for our plan—“

“Don’t,” Damon shot him a warning glance.

Lana struggled out of his arms, and Adonis slowly lowered her feet to the ground. She moved away from them and looked back at the men. The other gladiators stood silently behind them.

“Tell me what’s going on here.”

Damon shook his head. “We can’t. All we can say is that you’ll be safe in a few days, we promise you. But for now, we must follow orders. Or you won’t live until then.”

Just a couple more days.

But more sex? Her body was pleasantly sore. But what would it be like by the end of the night?

She nodded, wrapping her arms around herself.

“You don’t have to do this,” Adonis said.
