Unwanted Sacrifices

Blurb

Sabrina 
Sold. I never imagined I would be grateful to be bought by the Bratva. 
One more year and I was set to marry evil. I’ve heard the gruesome tales of that family before. 
I’m awarded with a new beginning when I’m given to the Mafia, for Nikoli to keep. 
He’s unlike anything I could have dreamed of, especially after the screwed up way I was raised. 
The problem? My betrothed isn’t willing to give me up.

Nikoli 
I’ve lost what I love; they were stolen from me, tortured and violated. 
I feel like I’ve fought my entire life to fill the void left inside. 
My heart is coated in sadness but I’m good at keeping it locked deep. 
The Mafia saved me, but now I’m faced with yet another unwanted sacrifice. 
I won’t let her go. I have to save this one.

Sabrina

“Ready beautiful?” Chek inquires like I’m privy to have some sort of choice about it and my skin crawls. If I never hear that pet name again, it would still be too soon. How can I possibly be beautiful after being trapped here and living like this? No, not living; at this point I’m simply existing.

He cuts away what’s left of the back of my thin, cami undershirt and washes an area on my back with a rough dish pad and then pats it dry. I have no idea what he plans to do; it could be a tattoo or he could be stealing my organs. Nothing would really surprise me anymore. I just know that one will hurt remarkably more than the other.

“Yes, Mr. Chek,” I respond automatically and feel the tip of something sharp on my back.

“You’re getting your mark Sabrina. It means that if you stay on track, once it heals you get to see Kolya. He will be very pleased with how tame you’ve become.”

“Thank you.” I gasp out as the sharp blade digs further into my flesh. The ripping sensation of skin and meat making me hold my breath to keep myself from retching what little is left in my stomach.

The tears come and I suck on my bottom lip until it hurts to keep myself from crying out. His deathly grip on my side keeps me from twitching away. Although as much as it hurts, I know he could drive that blade into my back at any time and it keeps me still.

“Ah, the mark of belonging to a Minski.” He sounds almost as if he’s in a lustful trance as the blood drips down my naked back. I feel something wet wipe one of the long drops off, and I’m trying hard not to believe it was just his tongue.

A tiny whimper escapes as the blade goes in a little too deep, my nose clogs and I wonder if this may be it. If I’ll somehow suffocate myself.

I’ll never belong to a Minski.

Concentrating, I unbutton his dress shirt, so it hangs open, showing me his muscular body and markings. The wine from dinner is working in his favor, giving me more courage to take control and show him what I really want.

“Why the blood on your stomach, my love?”

“You don’t want to know about that, especially now. You’ll think I’m fucked up.”

“Are they the marks for each hit?” I groan as he continues his onslaught of pleasure to my body.

Nikoli nods and it makes me even wetter to learn he’s that much more powerful, to know that my man has killed people. It makes me feel safe, like he’ll protect and cherish me, never letting anyone harm me ever again. I’m the fucked up one, getting turned on by tallies marking death, by being drawn to his tainted side.
