Fallen Into Hell: Fallen: Book 2, Layna Snow [the mitten read aloud .TXT] 📗

Thane blocked the attack with so much strength that Sin had to take a few steps back, his wrist hurting. Thanatos then turned to his side, using his bulk to check Sin into the wall closest to him.

While Sin was fast, he couldn’t move in time, and he knew that if he didn’t do something now, it would be over.

Sin pulled another knife from his body, as Thane’s shoulder pressed against his chest.

Thane lifted his sword, but before he could do anymore damage, Sin stuck.

He cut into his friend’s wrist, severing tendons needed to hold the heavy sword.

The clang of metal dropping to the ground was the only warning he had before the other hand came around to his throat.

It should have been an epic battle, but it was sadly very short.

He needed the battle to get his rage out, to take his anger out on something besides a useless bed!

Sin knew that the fight wasn’t lost yet, he could stab the kidneys, or the liver. He could get the man in the intestines.

But, something in him rebelled. Maybe he was getting soft! He hadn’t minded killing before! Now he cared about a woman and poof, can’t kill his best friend.

Just give up and talk to-

Sin dropped his knives and drove his fist into Thane’s solar plexus. The giant man bent over, clutching his stomach, which proved that he hadn’t prepared for it. Fucker thought that Sin was done. He’d never underestimate Sin again!

While Thanatos was down, Sin felt no qualms about kicking him. Specifically, in the face.

“You took her away! You stupid selfless fucker! You cared more about her than me! And after I protected you while you were down! Never again!” He called, pulling back his foot to kick again.

But before Sin could strike, Thane reached out and swiped at Sin’s knees, taking him down to the hard floor with him.

“Listen,” Thane growled, but Sin wasn’t going to follow the dude’s orders!

“No! You listen!” he yelled, kicking out again. “You aren’t supposed to make decisions on your own!” He planted another boot in Thane’s face. “We are supposed to be partners!” This time Thane caught his foot and flipped Sin over.

His chest hit the smooth stone, the pressure driving all the air from his lungs. Even his ribs felt bruised, and he might have broken one or two. For sure he hit his head, but even the sharp lightheaded feeling wouldn’t stop the rage from churning.

“Stop!” Thane tried again, as if Sin cared! He would fight this out, and if he lost, so what? It wasn’t like it would be the worst loss today!

“No! She was ours! I fucking cared about her! I wanted to keep her!” He would have kept her as long as he liked, and she would have been happy! He just had to make her see that!

“Sister needs her.” Thanatos said as Sin felt a knee borrow into his back. The weight that was behind that limb was immense, and he knew that he’d never get out of it.

“We need her!” It was true! Just seeing a smile on her face made him happy. Knowing that they were giving her something that she hadn’t had before, that she liked, was awesome! It made him feel like a good person for once in his life!

“She needs us?” Thane asked.

And that was the problem.

She didn’t need them. Sure, he knew they gave her things that she couldn’t get back in her little hick town, but that didn’t mean that she needed it. Actually, she had said that there was nothing down here. She said they were nothing.

“No. She doesn’t need us! She needs light and sunshine and all things happy. I’m sure she needs her family and friends, but she must want us. Right?” Please make her want them! If she didn’t, he’d be left with nothing!

“Right.” And if Thane believed it, then he would do, too. But there was a little voice in the back of his mind saying otherwise. He had been rude to her. He had hurt her in order to protect himself.

Afraid of love?

But, caring didn’t mean that L word! And it didn’t mean that he had to stay with her forever! They could work with this until they reached a natural end and then all move on happier than they had been.

What if this is the natural end?

It couldn’t be! He wouldn’t let it.

“Then we have to go to her! We can’t just sit here if she wants us and we want her! I saw how you looked at her! Thane, we need to fucking try! We will make her like us, make her accept us!” Was he pleading? Oh, he didn’t fucking care! He didn’t try to uphold a manly image, everyone knew that he was the height of masculinity no matter what!

“Can’t make her.” Sure they could, but it seemed like Mr. Holy was relenting. Wait…that didn’t take too long! Usually he had to argue and nag for days!

“So you’re in? We go to her and try to live above ground?” Because, although it would be difficult, he would do it to be with Phie. She was the sexiest thing he had ever seen! And being with her was amazing. Besides, above ground there were Sex clubs, dungeons, and he could take her there and show her off! She would learn that what they gave her was only the tip of the iceberg. And he had more than just the tip to give her!

“Yeah. Coming to get you” Thanatos growled, his bodyweight shifting slightly.

“You’ve gotta be shitting me!” He was planning on going the whole time? Well then, this was a waste! Except… “I’m still pissed at you for letting her go in the first place! I’m glad
