At home, I freshened up – took a shower and curled my hair. I even put on a dress, with pretty lingerie underneath. A few drops of perfume, light makeup. The weather outside was glorious, and I planned to take a walk after delivering Liza’s order.

The house where the party was being held turned out to be genuinely close. It took me no more than twenty minutes to get there. I hurried up the stairs, glanced at the text from Liza, and pressed the apartment number on the intercom. Through the speaker came shrieks and loud music.

«Hello, I have a delivery from… ahem-ahem,» I cleared my throat awkwardly, «from «Thorns and Roses’ shop.»

«Come on up,» some girl shouted, «the door’s open!»

I entered the building, called the elevator, and pursed my lips in frustration – I should have asked which floor. I roughly estimated the number of apartments per floor and pressed the button for «7.»

The elevator doors slid open. The corridor was dark, and I adjusted my glasses, trying to make out the nearest apartment number. This seemed to be it. Suspiciously quiet, I managed to think before my hand reached down and pressed the handle. The door gave way easily, and I stepped inside.

«Hello?»

Adjusting the strap on my shoulder, I walked deeper into the corridor and peered into the room. From the couch, two pairs of familiar eyes stared back at me. This couldn’t be happening! On the floor lay a familiar bag, this time open. Stacks of money jutted out, with several guns resting on top. My heart stopped for a moment, but a second later, I was already backing toward the exit.

«Not so fast, lady.» A strong arm wrapped around my throat from behind, and I recognized Raven’s voice.

The man who, along with his friends, had burst into my friend’s shop. He hadn’t been on the couch with Sorcerer and Thunder. I’d spotted those two first.

He locked the door, then yanked the bag from my shoulder, tossed it on the floor, and kicked it toward the couch.

«Thunder, check what’s in there.»

The man tightened his grip on my throat – not enough to cause pain, but enough to convey the seriousness of his intentions. Not that I needed convincing; I planned to stay very quiet regardless.

«How did you get in here?»

«A-accidentally,» I stammered, fear making my words stumble.

Raven scoffed.

«Accidentally? You think I didn’t recognize you and I’d believe in such a coincidence?»

Truth be told, I’d genuinely hoped they wouldn’t recognize me. Surely they encountered plenty of girls in their line of work?

«But it’s true.»

Whistles and jeers erupted from the couch.

«Raven, look at this!»

The man released my throat and shoved me forward, forcing me into the room. All I wanted was to sink through the floor from embarrassment. Thunder and Sorcerer were eagerly rummaging through the bag, continuing to whistle. Raven approached, glanced into the bag, and looked at me in disbelief.

«What the hell?»

«I… Liza… The girl from the shop, she’s my friend. She owns that shop. She asked me to bring the bag to a themed party. I really did end up here by accident,» I babbled incoherently and lowered my head. «I must have mixed up the floors.»

I stood with my eyes closed, thinking only about the fact that I was alone in an apartment with three criminals and a bag full of sex toys. I’d seen what Liza packed in there, so I understood Thunder and Sorcerer’s reaction.

Strong fingers gripped my chin, forcing me to raise my head. I opened my eyes wide, staring into Raven’s handsome face. Up close, he made an even stronger impression: flawless olive skin, brown eyes, a neat goatee.

«What’s your name?»

«Vera,» I breathed.

Raven

The woman was damn beautiful. He’d noticed that back in the bizarre little shop crammed to the brim with rubber cocks. Unlike Thunder, he hadn’t shown his interest, though he’d wanted to touch her too. That magnificent ass was the first thing he’d spotted when they’d burst into the shop, fleeing from pursuit.

She was wearing a somewhat old-fashioned dress now, one that deliciously hugged her curves. The girl stared at him wide-eyed through her glasses, her wavy hair constantly falling across her forehead.

«Who are you?»

«A teacher. I teach math.»

He nearly laughed out loud, but Sorcerer and Thunder didn’t bother holding back.

«Vera, darling, do you take this bag to your classes?» Sorcerer asked, tossing some device in his hand.

Her cheeks seemed to grow even redder after that remark, and Raven felt his cock straining against the thick fabric of his trousers. She kept opening and closing that lovely plump mouth, and he was already imagining those wet lips sliding along the entire length of his shaft.

He stepped closer and lowered his gaze to her chest. The fabric was thick enough that her lingerie didn’t show through, but light enough that he could clearly see her hardened nipples. His lips curled into a grin. Looked like the teacher had ended up at the right party.

Vera

Raven dropped his gaze to my chest, and I felt with horror how my nipples were hardening under his stare. When his lips stretched into a knowing smirk, I swallowed hard. How on earth did I end up here?

Raven caught me by the arm and guided me closer to the bag.

«Give us a lesson, Vera. Tell us what those devices in your bag are for.»

«What?»

I recoiled from the bag in horror, but Thunder rose from the couch that same instant. As I’d suspected, his entire body – not just his neck – was covered in tattoos. The ink shimmered over the interplay of muscles. His powerful frame towered over me.

«We’ll be very well-behaved students, Vera.»

«With this much visual material, there won’t be any problems with the lesson,» Sorcerer chuckled, rising from the couch as well.

Now they surrounded me on all sides. Three dangerous, powerful men whose intentions were all too transparent.

«Listen,» I tried to appeal to their reason, «you’ve got it all wrong. I really am a teacher. I don’t use things like that. I was just asked to bring this to a party.»

Hands settled on my waist from behind, and Raven pulled me against his chest. My ear was scorched by a hot whisper:

«Vera, darling, you’re the one who’s got it all wrong. We’re not making an offer – we’re informing you of the facts. Since you’ve barged in on us with this stuff, we’re going to try every single one of those toys on you.»
