MARKED
by
CHERISSE SPIERS
Welcome to my
fucking world. My
name is Kaston Cox and I’m a criminal’s
worst nightmare. Most people run from
darkness, but I live in it, require it, and thrive in the
night. Some call me a
monster, some a lover of evil, and others, the devil
himself, but they’re all
wrong. I’m just a shadow in the dark. I
speak for the innocent when no one else
will. Once I have marked you, you better beg for
forgiveness, because your time
has run out…
Revenge is the ultimate
wage for
evil. Some just can’t stomach to do it
themselves. That’s where I come in. I am
the ultimate judge when called upon for justice. I will
decide who lives and
who dies. Blood may be on my hands, but it’s
not the blood of the innocent.
Remorse is nowhere to be found. I don’t
give a shit if you understand. I can live
with the man I look at every day in the mirror. My soul was
tainted the day I
was conceived. You think you know me? You have no fucking
idea. I am who I am
because of what they did to her, and to him. They were my
family. This was the
only form of restitution he believed in. I owed him
everything. I took over the
empire he built. This is how I repay him. There was only one
rule: never allow
emotions to form. Numb and heartless are the only two ways
to live.
What I never
included in the
plan…was
her.
My name is Lux
Larsen. My life is
as perfect as it can get. I’m a partier, a seductress
when it comes to
something that I want, and the ultimate sexual con artist. I
use my body to get
what I want and I’m not ashamed. Designer
tags are what I’m after. I love sex.
I’m good at it. Fuck double
standards. Guys can do it, well guess what, so can
I. I will never be caught back on the other side of the
tracks for as long as I
live. I left that hellhole years ago. I’ll
do anything to stay away. You can
call me a whore if you want, but I just look at it as I’ve
decided to become a
player in a man’s game, and I’m
a fucking pro at it. Love is for the weak
minded. Weak is something I’ll never
be.
I never anticipated
the predator
that would find me. I’m now his prey…but
I’m
not sure I can run.
The world likes to
think that love
is only pure, only for those that do good, but what no one
considers is when
bad has to be done to formulate a different type of good.
Two of the most
random people can be a perfect match, being placed together
like pieces to a
puzzle. Being in the wrong place at the right time can be
terrifying and it can
also be exactly what is supposed to happen, because
sometimes…love is born in
the dark.
"Here. Good play. I can't say with that view it was
the worse
time I've ever lost money." He turns and walks away as
they announce last
call over the speakers.
"Does that mean I get half? I'd
say I earned it."
I look at Makayla as she turns toward
me and hangs her legs over the
side. "You think
so?"
"I didn't see you pulling your
dick out as bait. My pussy was
the one on display so you could
win."
I move in front of her and grab her
chin, closing in toward her. She
starts to close her eyes until I speak. "Let's get one
thing straight,
baby. I would have won whether your pussy was present or
not, but since you
helped by sending him to the bathroom to take care of the
hard-on you just
created, I'll repay you in orgasms here in a few minutes.
How does that sound?"
She grabs a handful of my shirt in
her fist, pulling me closer.
"Damn, just take me already. I've never been so turned
on in my
life." She presses her lips to mine and the alcohol
takes over, directing
all of my muscle movement. I grab her hips and pull her
toward me as I roughly
kiss her back. She instantly wraps her legs around my waist.
I grind her
against my now hardening cock. She grabs the
waistband of my pants, no
longer concerned with where we are.
"Starting without
me?"
I release her lips and look at Danyel
standing next to the pool
table. It's just now that I realize the bar is completely
empty. "Where is
the rest of
staff?"
"I sent them home and locked the
doors. Since I'm the manager I
can do that. No one ever complains when being sent home
early at closing. No
work for them and a good time for me after a long night.
It's a win/ win
situation."
Makayla groans out, clearly
frustrated and not wanting to share. I
nod for Danyel to come closer and look at Makayla, locking
my eyes with hers.
"I'm your partner. You trust me in the field,
right?" She nods, her
eyes flitting from my eyes to my mouth and back again.
"Trust me now. Be open-minded.
Just because you try something new doesn't mean you have a
label. We're all
straight. Danyel probably likes dick more than you do. Got
me?"
She breathes deeply, clearly nervous,
but nods lightly. "Yeah,
okay. I'll try...for you." I'm going to pretend I didn't
hear longing in
her voice and hope like hell I don't regret this at work
Monday.
I reach out and hook my index finger
over Danyel's waistband,
pulling her closer. I kiss her, starting things slow. She
slides her tongue
inside my mouth, allowing each of our taste’s
to mix, creating one of its own.
I stop and turn to Makayla, doing the same. She moans into
my mouth before I
release her lips. "See. You taste her. You taste me.
It's no
different." I continue to look at her. "Danyel.
Come show her how
gentle you can be. I want to
watch."
I step back, allowing Danyel to take
my place. I can see the
disappointment written all over her face, but she remains
silent. Danyel
touches her knee and skims her fingertips up Makayla's thigh,
tracing the side
of her body until her hand is on the side of Makayla's neck.
"Relax,
Makayla, and I'll reward you later." Her shoulders
immediately drop.
Danyel lowers her face and kisses
Makayla, slowly at first, but then
you can tell the moment Danyel slides her tongue between
Makayla's lips,
because she completely lets go, and places her hands in
Danyel's auburn hair,
wanting more. My dick presses against my pants, wanting
free, as I watch two
beautiful women experiencing each other for the first time.
The room is hazed
from the alcohol, but that's exactly where I need to be.
I walk up to Danyel's backside, pressing my front against
her. I
press my lips next to her ear as they continue to kiss.
"Do to her as I do
to you. Are we
clear?"
I found books when I was going through
a hard time in life. They
became my means of escape when things got bad. I realized
quickly how much I
loved to take a backseat to someone else's life and watch
the journey unfold.
That began my journey with books in November of 2012. I
constantly had a book
open on my Kindle app. Never in a million years would I have
imagined myself as
a writer, because I never thought I was creative enough. I'm
living proof that
things will fall into place when they're meant to be. People
will make their
way into our lives when we don't expect it, setting the path
for what we are
meant to do. Never give up on people. Never stop taking a
chance on others.
Someone took a chance on trusting me with her work when she
didn't know me from
a stranger on the street and gave me the opportunity of a
lifetime as our
relationship progressed, which led me to editing and writing
as well. This is
my dream I never knew I had. As soon as I sat down and gave
writing a shot, it
was like the floodgates opened. Now, I am lost in a world of
fiction in my
head, new characters constantly screaming for their stories
to be told.
Continue to dream and to go for them. No one ever found
happiness by sitting on
the sidelines. Sometimes we have to take risks and put
ourselves out there.
Thank you for all of your support, and may there be many
books to come. XOXO- C
