“Seven, you can keep Lori company for a bit.”

Panic seizes me, and I shoot him a desperate look. I don’t know what to do with children, or teenagers, or whatever she is. I only know hollow-eyed, terrified kids, not ones who are well-adjusted and happy.

“I can’t wait to get to the autopsy classes,” I say as I rub my thumb along the cut. I smile up at him and lick my lips. “Have you ever seen the inside of a person, Asch?”

He quirks a brow. “Can’t say that I have. Have you?”

"Get your hole slick for me," I text. "I’m going to fuck you against the wall, so hard you won’t be able to stand after."

The reply comes instantly. "Promise?"

I laugh. Only Seven would be this willing to drop everything for a pounding.

“She was scared stiff,” I say with a derisive snort. “A total meek little bunny.”

“She isn’t harmless,” he insists.

“Well, she won’t be a problem now,” I say. “She’s our personal toy now, and she knows it."

“Never have I ever…” I concentrate on making the words steady. “Never have I ever played never have I ever.”

Angelo chuckles, but Saint starts giggling.

“Just a few more drinks and we can get on with the main attraction,” Victor says.
“Main attraction?” Saint gives Victor a confused look, but he laughs, too.

“Getting you and Lucia drunk.” Victor smiles.

A realization strikes him then, and he thinks back to the fables and stories he’s heard of the forest.

“You’re a unicorn,” he whispers. “You—”

Fear strikes him deep. He knows that unicorns are drawn to virgins… but he realizes no one’s ever told him what they do to virgins.

He’s suddenly sure he doesn’t want to know.

Blaze buries his fingers in my hair and pulls. “So, Pandora. Let’s talk about some rules.”

My eyes widen. “Rules?”

“Rules.” Blaze snarls at me. “You do not say a word about this to anyone. You don’t run to the pigs or the school administration. My father practically owns this place.” He glances at Asch. “If Asch or I want your mouth or cunt, you open up and spread wide for us. Got it?”

“Are you okay? Did Sebby set you up with a therapist?”

Seven goes still. “What? Why would he?”
I grimace. “Because what happened was traumatic,” I say carefully. “It wouldn’t be a bad—”

“No,” Seven interrupts, his expression going distant. “I’m not seeing a therapist.”

“I’m not fragile!” I burst out, even though my outburst probably proves the opposite. “You don’t have to treat me like I am!”

We have to teach her a lesson, Asch.”

I glance at Blaze. “Yeah? What kind of lesson would we even teach her? Just ignore her.”

I don’t want to ignore her, though.

I want to make her bleed.

“What are we betting?” Caleb asks. “Pennies? Burritos?”

“You said Seven loses 52% of the time?” Vortex asks, taking a bite of his taco.

I scowl at him. 

Vortex grins right back at me. “Every time he loses, he takes off another piece of clothing.”

“I’m Pandora,” I answer cheerfully.

“Pandora? As in, Pandora’s box?” Blaze looks down from my eyes to my crotch. “Is your box as deadly as in the myths?”

“Are you holding up all right, Caleb?” he asks, his voice careful. “You weren’t all there in that meeting.”

I give him a crooked smile. “It must be really bad, if you noticed.”

Vortex scowls. “Doesn’t help that your eyes were red when Havoc and I got there today.”

“It was my birthday,” I tell him, my voice little more than a whisper. “I think I was… sixteen? Maybe. I don’t know. Sixteen, the first time.” I laugh, but the sound is broken somehow, and I don’t know how to pull these words together.
