CHAPTER 137

  I had to swallow down the bile that rose in my throat. I had never attended the Gladiator games, not even on opening day, and I didn’t want to start now. I didn’t agree with any of it. Forcing men to fight in a barbaric and inhumane way, more so, I didn’t want to show support or encouragement for my father.

  I hated him. And as for the slave girls being initiated… well, is it a wonder that at 21 I was still a virgin growing up in this hell hole.

  *We need to talk, meet me in my room.* Jasper's voice filled my head and I told him I would be there shortly before I cut the link and excused myself from his mother, making my way to his room on the 2nd floor.

  I knocked softly, looking left and right down the hallway, making sure no one was watching. The door opened and Jasper grabbed my arm, yanking me into his room and closing the door behind him quickly.

  He pushed me up against the wall and began rubbing his body all over me and licking my neck. Covering me in his scent.
