Pretty Poisoned Novel by Elle Mitchell

“Were the two of you close growing up?” she asks Blakely. “No,” Blakely says. “We were four years apart and didn’t have much in common. After her accident, I tried to be there for her, though. We became close; she moved in with me when she started at Cal State, but we were still so…

I reach between us, pulling his boxers down over his hips, and wrap my fist around his hard dick. He moans into my neck and dips his fingers inside my pussy. “Yeah, you’re nice and wet, aren’t you, baby?” He pulls his fingers out and brings them to my lips. “Suck,” he says. I part…

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t stare straight into the eyes of anyone wearing a gold mask for a little too long—just in case. But Sebastian wasn’t behind any of them. “Mmm…I would have waited for you guys to get back,” I tell her. “I’m sure you’re tired, and now you’re doing all…

“Only in front of the main building,” he says. “It’s a very dated system—they won’t be able to see anything anyway, but I took the plates off, and I’ll keep the lights off until we leave the property. They won’t be able to tell when we left. It’s a rental from Texas, and I used…

“Don’t,” Luca says, his hand closing around my wrist when I stand. “It’s okay,” I say. I place a hand on his cheek and lean in and kiss him before moving to Sebastian. He pats his leg. “Sit on my lap.” Luca scoffs. “You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.” But I do it. Sebastian…

I stand on my toes and press my lips to his. “You’re sweet, baby,” he says. “I’m sorry I yelled at you, Teag.” “It’s okay, Luca.” I take his hand, and when we step back into the room together, Declan and Sebastian are stuffing the last pieces of a dismembered body into two black garbage…
