Sadly, I do not own any of the characters.


The very moment that life had left Whip - that piece of shit who'd tried to rape her - had changed her life forever.

It made her feel all new and excited. Wide-eyed and breathless, like she had been under water for too long.

Sensory overload. She was fascinated with the sound of his breaking neck, mesmerized by the sheer beauty of death and oh-so turned on by its nearness.

And he knew it. Had to know it.

He'd seen the look of pure bliss gracing her features. She inwardly cursed herself for not being able to control her emotions when she saw the expression on her uncle's face. The complacent smile he wore wasn't new, neither was the predatoriy look in his eyes. But the intensity was definitely new.

New and scary.

He held out his hand.

India quickly regained her composure and – not wanting to seem weak - took it. He swiftly pulled her up to her feet. But didn't stop there. He drew her into his arms. A little dizzy, she intuitetively placed her hands on his chest, surprised by both his action and her reaction. The sudden contact made her shiver all over. Her head felt heavy.

„You okay?", he asked nonchalant.

As simple as the question was, she couldn't answer.

She didn't know what to answer.

She couldn't even think properly; with all the adrenaline pumping trough her veins. She was all too aware of her uncle's arms around her waist. She didn't even know where to look. She decided to down on her hands that somehow still rested on his firm chest.

They were trembling a little.

Treacherous things.

India suddenly felt caged, like a small animal.

She didn't like it.

She was no toy he could push around and pet as he liked.

And yet she couldn't move. Not when his hands made their way down her back, cupping her behind. She was completely paralyzed. She didn't know whether it was from fear or excitement. Her eyes, however, shot up to him in complete shock and disbelief. He just looked at her with those sharp eyes, raising his eyebrow rather unimpressed. He grabbed her cheeks and lifted her up. She automatically wrapped her legs around his waist, didn't even think about it.

A dangerously sly smile played on his lips. She frowned.

He carried her over to the nearest tree and pinned her against it. She gasped as the sharp bark cut painfully into her back. It felt like her thudding heart was about to break out of her ribcage.

That she liked very much.

As if Charlie could read her thoughts, he ground his hips into her, pressing his erection into her core. Her body betrayed her once more and she let out a small moan.
