Tears streak down my cheeks and into my hair at his words and he kisses me again, his thumbs trying to dry my tears that don’t seem to want to stop.

“I love you, too, Diego. I was so worried I wouldn’t be able to tell you when Jerry…” My voice trails off and my throat tightens at the memory of Jerry’s gun barrel pressing into my forehead.

Diego places a finger on my lips and then kisses me again. “No one is ever taking you from me again.”

“Or you from me.”

We lay like that for a while longer and only when my skin pebbles from the cold does Diego pull out of me. It’s then that I realize he hadn’t fully undressed—he’d just shoved down his boxers and jeans earlier.

He completely strips and then heads into the bathroom before coming back with a damp cloth to clean me up. We slide under the covers and I can’t stop my smile when he pulls me close into his arms. He presses a kiss to my forehead and I sigh in contentment as I snuggle into him, drifting off to sleep.

The next morning, Levi catches us just as we finish breakfast. She’s carrying a box and when Diego sees it, he barks out a laugh.

“Is that what I think it is, Levi?”

Levi grins darkly and it’s the first time that I’m seeing this darker side of Levi, but she doesn’t say anything in response.

Diego shakes his head and kisses my forehead. “I’ll take the dishes into the kitchen. You can head into Thor’s office with Levi.”

I look between them, confused, but end up following Levi. She shuts the door behind her and gestures for me to sit on the couch.

“To understand what’s in this box and what led up to it, I need to tell you my story.”

Levi tells me about when she was sixteen and she and her mother were kidnapped by Black Plague, a rival MC group. They tortured both of them for hours and then they raped her mother repeatedly before killing her. Thankfully, her family rescued her before Levi could suffer the same fate. Years later, Black Plague came after Levi again which was how she ended up here at the Steel Archangels clubhouse—her dad had asked them for help.

“A few months after I came here, Black Plague kidnapped me and Reaper—that’s where the scars on my legs, and some of the ones on my chest and arms came from.” She pauses as she presses a hand to her stomach as if in memory. “Just the daybefore, we’d confirmed I had was pregnant with twins. Because of that, though that wasn’t the only reason, Reaper tried to draw their attention off me repeatedly. As a result, his scars are significantly worse than mine.

“After that first kidnapping and then later coming here, I started working with some old friends of mine. I came up with the idea and they made it happen. After hearing bits and pieces of what those women and children went through, I think the men that the rest of your club escorted back home deserve the same treatment that my captors endured.”

She hands me a box and I tentatively open it.

My jaw drops at the contents, and for several seconds, I can’t say anything.

Finally, I find my voice, lifting up one of the items. “Is this a metal dildo?” I ask incredulously and Levi laughs, nodding before taking it from me.

“Yes, it is, but let me show you what it does.” She sits it on Thor’s desk, making sure it stands upright. Then she pulls out the controller in the box. “Each remote is paired to a specific dildo and they are each engraved accordingly. This button turns it on and this one causes this to happen.”

She presses it and I can’t help but jump a little when metal spikes protrude from the dildo.

“Holy fuck, you made a spikey metal dildo,” I whisper, and a moment later, I start to fully grasp onto why she had this made.

And why she is giving them to me.

“Yup,” she says, popping the ‘P’. Then she presses a button and the spikes recede. Picking up the dildo, she shows me the bottom of it and then pulls a regular dildo out of the box. “You’re able to put a normal dildo into the metal and secure it around their waist, which will cause the metal spikes to vibrate inside of your guest, slowly tearing their insides apart.”

Then she reaches into the box and pulls out a round device. She sets it down on the desk and presses another button. Metal spikes protrude from it as well and then they slowly start to move.

“Holy shit, it’s a spikey cock ring,” I find myself saying and Levi busts out laughing at the stunned look on my face.

When she calms down, she nods while gesturing at everything. “So, each guest will get the dildo. The spikey cock ring is for the men and as for the second device for the women,” she says, pausing as she reaches into the box yet again. “We have the spikey metal claw bra.”

She sets it down and I wince when a barbed spike protrudes from it and starts moving.

“Fuck, Levi, you’ve thought of everything.” I stare down at the contents in shock, but a dark part of me isverymuch looking forward to using it on our ‘guests’ as Levi calls them.

“There’s one more thing,” she says and then she surprises me by giving me a sad smile and pulling a small pouch out of her bag.

“I had these made for me and my family after I was kidnapped that first time.”
