My father was in his office, just as I knew he would be, and of course he didn’t seem to be the slightest bit concerned when I walked in with an angry scowl on my face.
“Seth, my boy, have you come to have a drink with me?” His words were slurred and his eyes were half closed. How he managed to run a multi-billion dollar company I didn’t know. All I knew was that you couldn’t do so when you were always drunk.
“No, I haven’t come to have a drink with you. I’ve actually come because I’ve done some investigating on that little virgin that Fox bought, and I need some answers. Answers that only you can give me.” I hid the anger from my voice, knowing that if I showed my emotions to him it would get me nowhere. You could die in front of this man and he would throw a rug over you and pretend it never happened… I knew that because he did it to his own wife, my mother.
He tapped his chin, just as I did when I was thinking of something. “You mean to tell me you need Daddy’s help with something. I’m pleasantly surprised.” He was milking this for everything it was worth.
“It’s not that I need your help, it’s more that I just need conformation of things. Do you know the girl that Fox bought?” I questioned. I wasn’t going to let the old man get away with this, not if I could help it. I knew he was the reason that Grace had lost her job, or at least part of the reason, which meant he was directly linked to the reason that Raven had to sell her virginity in the first place. Not that I cared what the woman did, but it showed courage, compassion, and love on her end.
“I’ve met the girl once or twice. Why does it matter?” He squinted at me, an accusing tone to his voice.
“Well, if you’ve met her, I’ll assume that’s because you know her mother, and then I’ll assume further that you knowing her mother has something to do with her working for Smith Industries… Am I getting somewhere?” I narrowed my eyes at him, waiting for it all to click in his head.
“I… I may know her mother as well, but none of this matters. The girl sold her virginity to your brother. I don’t see the fault in that.” He threw his hand in the air as if he was done with the conversation.
“You don’t get it, do you? One of your workers told her mother, who was on LOA at the time seeking cancer treatment, that she was fired. You took her health care away, and her only form of income.” The elderly man blinked. acknowledging that he had made those choices, but didn’t seem to care about much else.
“It’s a shit world, Seth. What can I say? I don’t have any control over those affairs. If she was eating into the insurance company and costing us money, then it’s nothing but a good thing that they fired…” I refused to listen to this man, my father, talk badly about this woman that had slaved away working for his company for years. I was more than going to cut a check to Raven for her mother’s care, I was going to double whatever Fox had paid for her.
“It’s people like you that make this world such a shitty place. You treated her the same way you treated mom when you found out she had cancer. You brushed it under the rug and pretended like it never existed. As long as you could forget your wrongdoings, you had no issues hurting others in the process.” I grabbed my father by the throat, feeling his fragile bones creak as I squeezed.
Maybe that’s why I felt drawn to Raven’s situation, or even more, worried about the truth coming out and having to tell Fox about it, because I knew it would open a can of worms that could never be closed again.
Because my father, Raven would have to pay for lying to Fox, and Raven’s mother would have to cling to life just a little bit longer until I could get the money to her for the care that she needed.
“You know nothing about the situation…” he gasped for air, almost falling back into his chair. My hand clasping his throat was the only thing holding him in place. Would it be so bad to make Fox and I parentless? After all, my mother would still be here had my father put the effort into getting her treatment instead of abusing her.
“I know enough to know that Raven is doing this and that it’s your fault. I know enough to know that you’re the reason my mother died.” I squeezed tighter, holding his life in my hands. If he died, nothing bad would come of it.
His hand moved up to mine where I was squeezing, his fingers trying to pry mine away. I released him that second with a shove, forcing his body into his office chair. He sucked in oxygen like he was starving for it.
I couldn’t handle sticking around in this room for another second. I needed to find Fox and relay the information to him before it was too late. Yes, we still had a deal, and yes, we would still follow through with it but maybe, just maybe, we could make this right for her.
Maybe we could give her the pleasure her body craved and make her first time special. That is, unless Fox already claimed that piece of her. Either way, seducing her wouldn’t be the hard part, it would be asking her to stay.
I spent the entire day wandering the mansion. I had spent way too much time in this hell hole over the years. The place reminded me of my mother more and more every day. It was suffocating and just downright depressing. The second my father died, I was going to sell this place and move somewhere warm.
Somehow, I ended up in the parlor with a stiff drink in my hand. I was more than ready to claim Raven with my brother, the desire and need was there. I just need to get the information to him.
It was perfect timing too, because as soon as I let the sweet amber slip past my lips, my brother was stalking into the room, his face a mask of fury.
“What seems to be the problem, Fox?” I asked, sarcasm lacing my words.
“She lied to me, she fucking lied to me, and she has been lying since the day I bought her. I have to punish her for doing it, but I can’t bring myself to. I care about her too much.” Fox was practically sobbing. The only part I caught was the part about him knowing she had lied to him.
“How did you find out? I thought I was doing the digging?” I scowled at him, as he poured himself a drink.
“She told me… That’s how.” He slammed down on the leather sofa, his body sagging against it.
“Our pasts are way too similar, Seth. Her mother. Our mother. It hurts to much to look at her, and to know that she did this all for her mother. Fuck.” He slammed back his glass, gripping the crystal in his hand just a little harder than needed.
I admired Fox’s strength. Where I may be weak he was strong, and where he may be weak I was strong. We complemented each other well and were able to get shit done. But hearing him say he was too weak to punish someone for lying was something I had never heard come out of his mouth.
“You’re going to get even more angry here soon.” I smirked over my glass, knowing what father had coming to him. This would be the strength that Fox needed to take Raven over his knee.
Fox perked up, his eyes brightening as he waited for me to start speaking. “I confirmed with Father what I suspected all along. Raven’s mother was an employee of Father’s. She took LOA for a while and when the medical bills became too much, he had her fired, resulting in the reason that Raven is here to begin with.” Fox’s mouth hung open in disbelief.
“Are you kidding me?” He was off the sofa and pacing the room in a second. “Do you think she’s known this entire time? I mean she’s had to know right? Who our father was, who we were?” I could see Fox’s anger mounting and I fed off of it, my cock growing harder with each passing second.
“I think she’s known, but I also think she did what she had to do. I think the hardest thing is going to be letting her go when it comes time to release her, because we both know you can’t keep her locked up here forever.”
Fox smiled but it wasn’t nice, or even funny, no it was evil. It was the devil finally showing his face.
“I can do whatever I want with her, Seth. I paid five hundred thousand dollars for her, even though I canceled the check to Tony. I can always give her the money, but not until I get to fuck her and claim her pussy like I’ve been threatening for days.”
Yes, Raven had done a good thing, but she had also signed a deal with the devil, and it was time to pay up. Nothing could stop Fox and I from claiming her now. She would be a begging, whimpering, mess by the time we got done with her.
“Then let’s go claim the princess, Brother…” My blood pumped straight to my cock. We were going to own her body in ways she could never imagine.
“Let’s…” Fox smiled like he always did when we were kids and he was about to do something bad. Except this time it was for something good.
