Mention of drug use. You are warned.

Here goes another crazy one.

CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

EPOV

I was fucking livid.

"Son of a bitch!" I cursed as I purposely strode towards where I just saw Bella. I couldn't believe that asshole's hands were all over her. How could she even allow that? I was pushing everyone that blocked my way, enraged that these people were slowing me down.

I heard Marcus beside me, but I ignored him. I was suddenly pulled backwards and I growled. Victoria tightened her hold on my arm and I hissed.

"Edward…Boss…I know you're angry," she started; her eyes were pleading with me. "But Bella's our only chance to break Snake."

"Fuck that!" I hissed angrily. My vision was clouding; my rage was slowly consuming me.

"No one touches Bella! I'll fucking kill him myself." I yanked her arm away and started walking toward the staircase again. "Let me go, Victoria, or you'll regret having your hands on me!"

"Boss, if I could trade places with her, I would," Vicky explained frantically, still tagging on my sleeve. It was the first time I ever saw her like this - rattled and desperate. "Snake never shown interest to anybody, not until Bella. Please, just give her a few minutes. I'll stand outside their room to guard, just in case he planned something more."

She was really pushing her luck, and I was not in the mood to indulge her. However, whenever it came to Bella, I was always so irrational and short tempered than I usually was. This was no exception.

"Trust me on this," Vicky reiterated. Her words were warring with the emotions inside me. I needed to calm down before I made a decision.

"Fuck!" I growled, running my hand through my unruly hair.

"Please." Her eyes were pleading. I clenched my fists so hard; my nails were digging into the skin.

"I give you thirty minutes. If she's not out of there, I'll get her myself!" I kicked the chair near me, and started to walk out, but called on Vicky, who strode toward the staircase.

"Vicky, if something happens to her, I'll have your head for it."

I saw a flicker of fear in her eyes, but she masked it away quickly. She nodded before she turned and climbed the steps to where Snake and Bella were. Her only job right now was to make sure my wife stayed safe. That was it. Either Bella came out of this unharmed, or Victoria wouldn't live to see the next twenty-four hours.

I walked toward the exit reluctantly with Marcus following behind me. Waiting in the car would be the best option for me right now. I didn't want to do anything stupid like barging into the room and steal Bella away, especially if she was the only solution to get to Snake. Even if it was taking me a whole lot of control not to kill that son of a bitch Snake. Thinking about what they were doing was really pissing me off.

I looked down at my watch. Twenty-seven minutes more before I'll throttle that beautiful neck of hers.

BPOV

The two packets of white powder, one of which was definitely cocaine, were in my hand. I opened the one that contained the energy powder and started to make a single line on the small mirror Snake had provided. I snorted the powder, and made the impression that what I just inhaled was the pure grade-A coke I had promised him, and not just powder that contained caffeine and other stimulant. Then I proceeded to prepare three lines of the pure cocaine for Snake, making sure I had cleaned the glass mirror prior to putting the chopped up powder on it.

I turned my gaze on him. My heart was thundering against my chest, and I hoped to God he didn't see my nervousness. He was laying on top of the bed with only his pants now. He had discarded his shirt the moment we came inside the room. He was hairy, and I shuddered to think what he looked like naked.

"You're so pretty!" he said smugly, and touched his crotch. I tried not to balk at that, but instead I gave him a flirty smile. I wiped my sweaty hands on my dress, hoping I would get myself in control when Snake came near me. Thoughts of Edward were still lingering at the back of my head, knowing he might bust in on us anytime. Frankly speaking, I wasn't really sure if I wanted Edward to come and get me, or not. I just wanted to get this over and done with. I was in a very dangerous situation, I was aware of that. If I was being truthful to myself, I would rather Vicky or Edward deal with this asshole than I would, but having them bust in here now would definitely fuck this whole operation. I was here and I would goddamn deliver what I was set out to do – to make Snake confess about Charlie's killing.

"You're taking too long," I heard Snake say. "I'm already so horny for you, baby. I don't think I can wait." I was still standing beside the table when I felt his arm pull me backwards toward the bed, and I yelped. His hands were all over me. I could feel goose bumps break over my skin and I hoped he would think it was because he sexually affected me. Quite the opposite, actually. I forced myself to giggle, because that was the normal reaction of any girl flirting.

"Stop, stop!"

"What now?" Snake asked irritated. His hold on me didn't loosen; his hands were roaming around freely, as if he had a right to do so. The urge to punch him in the face was getting great, but I needed to do this so I reined it in. Instead, I wiggled my ass on his erection that was poking me and purred, "You have to take a hit, slugger. Or that coke would be a waste. It'll give us a good time, I promise."

He grunted before releasing me reluctantly. I quickly dislodged from him, trying so hard not to rub the skin where he touched. I was feeling so fucking dirty all of a sudden. I wanted to puke, but there was a lot riding on me here. Throwing up all the contents of my stomach wasn't the answer. I took a long, deep breath in the hopes I could control myself again.

I just stared as Snake snorted the coke. The looks in his face meant he had enjoyed it all. Good. Vicky said the coke would have the desired effect she needed especially when combined with the truth serum.

I had asked Victoria why it had taken too long for her to use the serum. There was something more potent with the ones she had to import from Russia. It had taken months for her to procure the particular truth serum she knew would work on Snake.

"Jessica, you're lost in your thought again," Snake said, and it took me a little while to register that he was talking to me. I grinned like a Cheshire cat should.

"I was dreaming about what you would do to me," I purred slowly, hoping I was doing a good job enticing him to get close. He grinned and lunged for me.

We fell on the bed, and I giggled, making sure I was faking it right. He started kissing my neck again, and I was too occupied to keep his lips away from mine, that I wasn't aware he was now fondling my breasts. My mouth soured, and I felt my stomach react; the food I had ingested earlier was threatening to come back up. I was on the edge of panic. I wiggled and pushed him, trying to get some air, but Snake thought it was my way of teasing him, so he pushed his hips against me, and his erection rubbed my stomach.

He was mumbling shit. "Ohh, baby, you're gonna get so fucked by my cock! Can you feel that fucking snake below? It's a motherfucking monster! I assure you would be screaming for more in just a minute." My mouth was so dry and my chest was heaving. His hands were all over me, and I tried not to think about it too much. Instead, I tried to take long deep breaths, just so I could breathe and not let the panic attack overwhelm me.

"Stop moving, you bitch!" he yelled so suddenly. He grabbed my hair, and moved my head aside, further exposing my neck as well as the swells of my breasts. It was a wonder why my breasts hadn't spilled over the scrap of cloth covering it.

"You smell so good!" He leaned down and licked from my shoulder to my skin. I couldn't help the shudder that escaped me.

"You like that don't you? I told you you're gonna be fucking moaning my name in a minute!" He said grinning, misinterpreting my shudder for one of desire. I nodded, because that was all I could do. I couldn't trust myself to speak, or I might scream.

"Oh, God!" He was grinding against me and I pushed him hard, heaving as I tried so hard not to puke in bed.

"I said to fucking stop moving!" I knew the moment the coke was getting into his system because he was mumbling shit and he was becoming violent. I moved my hand on the bed, in the hopes to find my purse, which I left on top of the bed purposely.

Feeling through the cold sheet, I found the leather and slowly slid my hand inside, careful not to attract Snakes' attention to what I was doing. He never knew what hit him. I plunged the syringe on his bicep, hoping it would quickly work.

"Shit! You bitch! What the hell did you do?" he yelled furiously. I scrambled to get up, knowing I wouldn't be able to defend myself lying down.

His eyes were so dark, but I knew from the way it was dilated, that the coke together with the serum was working its magic. He was squinting his eyes; the lights in the room were blinding him. He was so angry; his fists were clenched beside him. He could easily do some bodily harm toward me. Even though he was short, he was a lot stronger than I was.

He picked up the syringe on the floor and inspected it.

"What the hell did you inject me with?" he hissed, as he advanced toward me. He was staggering, and he shook his head, as if to clear it. "Who the fuck are you? Did you think you could get away with it, huh?" His maniacal laugh sent shivers all over me.

I screamed when he lunged at me, at the same time I heard something crash down. He toppled over me, and his hands were on my neck. He didn't get to do much of anything because he was peeled away from me.

Snake was screaming so loud, I was afraid the cops would be called any time soon. Then there was silence. I saw Snake on the floor unconscious. I could hear Vicky and Seth talking, but I wasn't listening much to what they were saying. I was shaking so much, my legs would surely give out on me in any moment. I felt an arm wrap around me, and saw Marcus was leading me outside. I followed him, grateful for his support. I was frantically looking for Edward, but Marcus informed me he was waiting in the car.

"Vicky and Seth will take care of Snake, Bella," Marcus said, still ushering me toward the exit. "Are you alright?"

I nodded, still trembling. He saw that I was still so scantily clad, so he removed his jacket and put it over me. I gave him a small smile in return, and held the denim close to me.

Once outside, I was ushered inside the black SUV where I knew Edward would be waiting. What I saw inside wasn't what I expected. He looked angry, but I could see his eyes glistening, and wondered if he cried.

He grabbed me to him, even before I could compose myself.

"Oh, God, Babygirl. Don't you ever do that to me ever again!" he yelled, his arms wound tightly around me. I hugged him back; my body was still shaking from the aftermath of what I just did.

"Promise me!" he tilted my chin upwards with a finger, his eyes boring into me, pleading. "I can't lose you!"

I nodded, and buried my face in his chest.

"I'm sorry," I whispered, feeling safe in his arms. I remembered Snake's hands on me and I shuddered.

"Please," I begged.

"What is it, Bella?" Edward's tone was desperate. He looked so worried; I wanted to cry for putting him in this position. "Tell me and I'll goddamn do it."

"Please," I croaked, my throat so dry from earlier. I raised my eyes to him, begging.

"I need to forget, baby. Fuck me here," I said forcefully, determined to get my way. It was the only thing that would placate me. "I don't want his hands to be the last to have touched me."

His eyes clouded with anger briefly, but he pushed it away. I tired to smile, wishing I could go back and not have Snake within a mile within me.

Edward captured my mouth in his. He effectively made me forget all except my desire for him.

Thank you for reading. Send me some love. ;D
