Shackled (The Lord Series) by Carlos
196. Olivia - Old friend I

I stand next to Sean's car, wrapped in a warm blanket and watch the road. Despite the raging blizzard, the sound of an engine roars in the air. Ansel and Jasper are coming after me.

Everything I have loved and cared for is gone. I even lost my will to love. For years, I craved to be reunited with Camila. Even now, it is the only thing I want to do, but the bonds... will break, bringing more suffering. I don't want Ansel to be in pain because of me. He has already suffered so much because of me. If for nothing else, I will keep living for the bonds. Until I find a way to break them without anyone involved in this mess, feeling the agonizing pain brought by a shattered bond.

An SUV appears out of the snowstorm and parks right behind Sean's car. Ansel and Jasper get out immediately and without thinking, I run to them, the blanket falling from my shoulders.

Ansel catches me in his arms and my legs wrap around his waist, my ass exposed to the brutal wind. His lips clash against mine and his palms cover my ass. His kiss is brutal, punishing my mouth and I take all the harshness and even add to it. There's a mix of teeth and lips and tongues and moans and groans.

"You're alright,” he says before slamming my back against the SUV. "Do you have any fucking idea how worried I have been?" he growls. Jasper tries to intervene, but Ansel snaps at him, "This is between my bonded and I." Sandness reflects in Jasper's eyes, but there is no time to comfort him as Ansel bites the mark he left on my neck, his hips grinding against mine. Is he going to fuck me right now? Or punish me? He does neither. He stops bitting me only when I hiss in pain and lifts up his head. His eyes turn scarlet. "Do you have any fucking idea what you could have started by leaving with Jason?"

I wanted to end everything but I guess I didn't see things from his perspective. Besides, even if I didn't want to go with Jason, he would have beaten me until I stopped resisting and dragged me by the hair. It's not like I had any say in the matter. Jason says something and I must obey immediately, unless I want him to break my bones.

I don't get to answer as the passenger door opens and Tyson steps out. My breath leaves me. Why is he here?

"Can you spank her after we get her home?" Tyson asks.

Ansel leans his forehead against mine and breathes me in, gaining his composure, his eyes returning to their natural color. "Let's go," he says a moment later.

Tyson goes over to Sean's car and starts searching inside it.

“Wasp and Beetle already went through it. You are wasting your time if you think you will find anything," I let him know.

Tyson arches an eyebrow. “Ever since you've been clean of drugs, you found your tongue." His hand goes to the knife on his belt. "Since you are talking, you might want to tell us who Wasp is. And what are you hiding from Jason? From us?" It might be weather or the fact that I am in Ansel's arms, Jasper next to us, but I suddenly say, "Tyson, fuck you. I don't owe you any explanations."

I slap my palms against my mouth. So, so stupid. When will I learn to think before speaking?

Ansel and Jasper laugh. Tyson glares at me.

"Let's get our little kitten home," Jasper says.

****

Jasper kisses me before feeding me another strawberry. Mose grabs my face between his palms and licks the seams of my lips and I part my lips for his. Beneath me, Ansel's cock throbs and I grind my pussy against him. He doesn't react, but I know he enjoys what I am doing to him.

"You taste so good," Mose murmurs against my lips.

The door to the kitchen opens. Rueben and Tyson enter. Behind them are five men. I don't pay any attention to them as Jasper offers me another strawberry. Ansel and he have made it clear I can only eat what they give me. Sometimes, Mose joins them. It's a strange thing to see three men feeding a grown-ass woman, but I'm not complaining.

Tyson sits at the table across from Ansel's chair and grabs a strawberry from the plate.

"We found some volunteers to help us guard the farm until we deal with Jason and his dipshit friends," Rueben says. "In a few days, Ansel and I will return to work, Mose has a restaurant to worry about and Tyson and Jasper are not enough to keep..... our woman,” he basically chokes on his spit while saying the last two words, “safe.”

Jasper's eyebrows shoot up.

Is Rueben sick or something? He and Tyson have been ignoring me for the past two days and all of a sudden, I'm his woman? No, thank you very much. By the tone of his voice, I know he is lying. A show for the guests.

It's been a few days since the incident with Jason. The snowstorm is over, but we still haven't found Miss Teapot. We have been searching for her for many hours and even left bowls with food for her outside. I have no doubt we will find her, but Jasper is very worried. Rightfully so. But for sure, the blizzard has forced her to hide in some warm place, and she will return sooner or later. I am sure of it. "Olivia?" 

My back stiffens. I know that voice.

His name leaves my lips before my gaze finds him. “Levi?”

I jump from Ansel's lap and I run to Levi, but Tyson intercepts me quickly and grabs me by the waist, pulling my back against his chest.

"Let's make one thing clear,” Tyson snarls, looking at Levi, “if I see any of you touching my woman, there will be hell to pay!"
