A soft murmuring woke me up from my sleep. "She's been out for a while." I blinked, my body stiffening. I was still curled against Cassian, my legs tucked to the side. His arm rested lazily over my waist, keeping me in place.

Nico stood a few feet away, his expression unreadable. He was dressed sharper than usual, his sleeves rolled up, revealing the inked veins of his forearms. Cassian barely acknowledged him, his fingers absentmindedly tracing circles against my hip. My breath hitched at the feeling. Nico's eyes met mine, and something in his gaze made my stomach twist.

"Come here, piccola," he ordered, his voice leaving no room for refusal. I hesitated, glancing at Cassian. His grip on me tightened just slightly before he finally let go. "Don't keep him waiting, birdie." I slowly moved over to Nico, when I was a few steps away he tugged at my arm pulling me close into his chest. "Slept well?" He asked rubbing his thumb across my upper lip. I nodded softly, before I remembered they wanted a verbal answer "yes" I managed for the first time without stuttering. He pushed his thumb into my mouth "I-" he gave me a glance that told me to shut up "what did we say about responding Jules, mhm" I opened my mouth in protest, but he pressed deeper, cutting off my words. Causing me to let out a gagging sound. He chuckled at that "suck" my eyes widened at that but his gaze left no room for argument.

My skin burned as I hesitated. Nico's thumb remained against my tongue, pressing down just enough to remind me who was in charge. My breath came shallow, my lips slightly parted around him.

"Suck," he repeated, slower this time, like he was giving me one last chance. I forced myself to obey, my tongue brushing tentatively against the pad of his thumb as my lips closed around it. The moment I complied, his free hand cupped my jaw, tilting my head up so I had no choice but to meet his gaze. His eyes flickered with something unreadable—something that made my stomach twist in knots.

"Good girl," he murmured, the praise making my body tense further. He lingered for a moment, his thumb pressing just a little deeper, almost drawing blood, before he finally withdrew, his fingers tracing the dampness left behind on my lower lip. I took a small step back, this made Nico smirk, asshole. "Nico, Cas Gli irlandesi hanno attaccato una delle nostre spedizioni, dobbiamo uscire" the irish have attacked one of our shipments, we need to head out** Alexander had stormed outside his blonde hair a mess and his glasses perched on the tip of his nose. Nico's sighed before his gaze turned ten times darker before he looked over at me "Jules I know getting us mad is a habit of your, but right now I need you to comply" he was scaring me and in no way i wanted to do anything this man had to say.

"You kidna-ap me and expect me to j-just do anything-g you say" I shuddered as his fist clenched tightly. He seemed to mutter something under his breath before he walked closer to me, throwing me over his shoulder in the process "let me g-go!" I bit his ear, oh shit. I fell of his shoulder my muscles ached as i landed with a thud on the ground.

My breath came out in sharp pants as I scrambled backward on the stone floor, my palms scraping against the rough texture. Nico stood over me, his head tilted slightly, the muscles in his jaw tight as he slowly straightened. His hand lifted to his ear, where my teeth had sunk into his skin moments ago.

Then, he laughed.

I swallowed hard, every instinct in my body screaming at me to run, but there was nowhere to go.

Nico crouched down in front of me, one hand braced against his knee. He reached out, his fingers brushing my cheek before gripping my jaw in a vice. His thumb traced the outline of my lips as he forced me to look up at him.

"You just made the worst mistake of your life," he murmured, voice deceptively soft. "I was willing to be gentle with you, but now?" His grip tightened just enough to make my pulse stutter. He picked me up again, this time cradled against his chest, walking inside the house up the stairs into my room. I was roughly thrown down on the bed, bouncing a bit as I did.

"Alex, prendi il midazolam" he ordered, I made him mad. I hated myself. I saw Alexander messing with the nightstand, opening it with a key. He grabbed a small bottle and a wrapped syringe "n-no" I stuttered trying to move away. I ran towards the door but Nico had grabbed me by the arms, placing me firmly against his chest. One of his hands covering my mouth "we tried playing nice but if you can't behave when we're gone this is what we do, sweetheart" I shaked my head, my life had become a nightmare. My head was craned to the side, leaving place for Alexander to stab the needle in my neck.

I felt a sharp prick, before my body became limp and my lips didn't seem to work anymore "I- w-hat" I slurred before I was moved onto the bed. Cassian tight my hands into the leather cuffs I had been bound into earlier while Alexander worked on my legs. My eyes went wide when I saw Nico walk over with a ballgag "can't have you screaming, right picolla?" I tried to shake my head but nothing seemed to be working. He squeezed my mouth open with his hands while placing the gag into my mouth, tightening it around my head securely.

I felt tired, my eyes began to flutter. "Sleep tight darling" Alexander placed a kiss on the top of my head before walking out of the door with Cassian and Nico. I felt myself drift of shortly after the door was locked.
