A small table is next to the altar with the piercings my mates chose for me. I haven’t seen them yet, but I have no

doubt they are beautiful.

Alekos is the first to pierce me, and he has me bending my knees and spreading them wide to give him access to my clit. The incense numbs my senses, and when he plerces my clit, the pain is so dull I can barely feel it. He murmurs to me, his words lost to me, and while I want to ask him to repeat himself, I lay there on the altar, unable to speak and just listen to him. His whispers are not the only ones I hear, as the demons from the catacombs call me to them, promising me things I never dreamed of before. My men already warned me this would happen as the demons who have consumed their vessels are still trying to find a way into the Garden of Eden. If I am to listen to them, following the dark whisper, I will not only go insane, but I will be killed, as they lost their minds a long time ago.

Their voices grow louder and louder until it is the only thing I can hear. When they send images to my head, showing me what they will do to my baby if I don’t obey them, I feel like I am going crazy, but keeping my eyes on Alekos helps me stay calm and focused only on him.

When Alekos is finished, he gives my pussy a kiss and then lets Reyes pierce my right nipple. Just like Alekos, Reyes murmurs something to me. All of a sudden, the lights die, and I can’t see anything else except pitch–black darkness. I want to jump off the altar and run away, but I follow Reyes‘ voice and find my way out of the darkness.

When the small round piercing he chose for me adorns me, he kisses it and steps to the side.

Stefan is the last to pierce me.
