Scene 1:... more>>

“You were ours the day you stepped inside our club,” Azael said as he strode towards her and Elise took a step back instantly.
“I belong to no one.” She declared as she maintained her gaze on him. But her wavering voice gave her away and Azael arched his lips, taking it as a challenge.
“Are you sure, darling? Why does your heartbeat say otherwise?” Reuel approached her from behind and Elise was now trapped between the twins.
“I…” Elise licked her lips as she maintained her gaze on the man before her while her mind was focused on Reuel’s wandering hands that were inching towards her waist.
“You what, gorgeous?” Azael probed as he smirked at her evilly and Elise was lost in his mysterious depths instantly.
“Tell us you want us, Elise.” Reuel urged behind.
“Tell us, baby. Tell us you want us as much as we want you.” Azael ran a finger along her arm and goosebumps peppered on her skin instantly.
“Tell us, Elise.”
And that was all it took for Elise to surrender. “I want you.”

Scene 2:
"Remind us the count of your orgasms, darling." Reuel wiped a teardrop that had slid down Elise's cheek. "Was it the third or the fourth?"
Elise just panted, not having the strength to speak a word.
"Aww, is our favorite girl exhausted?" Azael cooed and brushed her hair lightly and Elise blinked her eyes twice in response.
"Too bad, darling. Too bad." He continued and pulled on her restraints, a sardonic smile making its way onto his lips. "This is just the beginning, baby and we will not stop until you say your safe word."
