his　pierced　nipple。　His　chest　hair　was　coarse；　scratchy　against　my　cheek。　His　body　covered　me　almost　pletely。　They　couldn't　have　seen　much　more　than　my　hands　and　my　legs　from　the　camera。
　I　had　a　very　strange　idea。　〃You're　too　tall；〃　I　said。
　Gabriel　had　to　raise　up　a　little　to　look　down　at　my　face。　〃What？〃
　〃The　camera　will　never　see　anything　but　your　backside。　You're　too　tall。〃
　He　crawled　backwards；　raising　himself　in　a　little　push…up　position。　He　looked　thoughtful。　He　turned　around　without　getting　off　of　me。　〃Frank；　can　you　see　her　at　all？〃
　〃Nope。〃
　〃Shit；〃　Gabriel　said。　He　stared　down　at　me；　then　smiled。　〃Don't　go　anywhere。　I'll　be　right　back。〃　He　slid　off　me。
　With　my　feet　free；　I　could　sit　up。　My　hands　were　still　above　my　head；　but　I　could　huddle　against　the　headboard。　It　was　an　immense　improvement。
　Gabriel；　Raina；　and　two　men　in　scruffy　clothes　were　talking　in　a　huddled　group。　I　caught　snatches　of　the　conversation。　〃Maybe　if　we　hang　her　from　the　ceiling？〃　〃We'll　have　to　change　the　room　setup　for　that。〃
　I　had　bought　some　time；　but　time　for　what？　There　was　a　long　table　near　the　room。　My　weapons　were　on　it；　laid　in　neat　lines　like　props。　Everything　I　needed　was　right　there；　but　how　could　I　get　to　it？　Raina　wasn't　going　to　hand　me　a　knife　so　I　could　cut　myself　loose。　No；　Raina　wouldn't；　but　maybe　Gabriel　would。
　He　walked　towards　the　bed；　moving　as　if　he　had　more　muscles；　more　something；　than　a　human　did。　He　moved　like　a　cat；　if　a　cat　could　walk　on　two　legs。
　He　knelt　on　the　bed　and　started　untying　the　rope　from　the　headboard；　but　leaving　my　wrists　bound。
　〃Why　not　cut　the　rope？〃　I　asked。
　〃Frank　got　pissed　that　I　cut　the　first　one。　This　is　real　silk。　It's　expensive。〃
　〃Nice　to　know　that　Frank's　fiscally　responsible。〃
　Gabriel　grabbed　my　face；　forcing　me　to　meet　his　eyes。　〃We're　going　to　change　the　room　and　tie　you　standing　up。　I'm　going　to　fuck　you　until　you　go　with　me　inside　you；　then　I'm　going　to　change　and　I'll　rip　you　apart。　You　may　even　survive　like　I　survived。〃
　I　swallowed　and　spoke　very　carefully。　〃Is　that　really　your　fantasy；　Gabriel？〃
　〃Yes。〃
　〃Not　your　best　fantasy；〃　I　said。
　〃What？〃
　〃Raping　me　while　I'm　helpless　isn't　your　idea　of　hot　sex。〃
　He　grinned；　flashing　fangs。　〃Oh；　yes　it　is。〃
　Don't　panic。　Don't　panic。　Don't　panic。　I　leaned　into　him；　and　he　released　my　face　so　I　could　do　it；　but　he　jerked　the　rope　up　tight；　making　sure　my　hands　stayed　in　sight。　He　had　definitely　done　this　before。
　I　forced　myself　to　lean　into　his　naked　chest；　my　tied　hands　pressed　against　his　skin。　I　leaned　my　face　towards　him　and　whispered；　〃Don't　you　want　a　blade　inside　you　while　you　do　it？〃　I　touched　the　silver　ring　in　his　nipple；　pulled　on　it　until　the　flesh　bowed　outward　and　he　gave　a　little　gasp。
　〃Don't　you　want　the　feel　of　silver　burning　up　inside　you　while　you're　shoving　yourself　inside　of　me？〃　I　went　up　on　my　knees　so　our　faces　would　be　closer　together。　〃Don't　you　want　to　know　I'm　trying　to　kill　you　while　you　fuck　me？　Your　blood　pouring　over　my　body　while　you　fuck　me；　isn't　that　your　fantasy？〃　I　whispered　the　last　against　his　lips。
　Gabriel　had　gone　very；　very　still。　I　could　see　the　pulse　in　his　throat　thudding　against　the　skin。　His　heart　beat　fast　and　hard　against　my　hands。　I　jerked　the　ring　out　of　his　nipple　and　he　let　out　a　low　moan。　Blood　trickled　down　his　chest。　I　raised　the　ring；　and　he　let　the　rope　go　so　I　could　move　my　hands。　I　raised　the　bloody　ring　between　our　lips；　almost　as　if　we'd　both　kiss　it。
　〃You'll　only　have　one　chance　to　fuck　me；　Gabriel。　One　way　or　another；　Rainy　will　see　me　dead　tonight。　You'll　never　get　another　chance　at　me。〃
　The　tip　of　his　tongue　curled　out　and　caught　the　ring；　licking　it　from　my　fingers。　He　rolled　it　in　his　mouth　and　brought　it　back　out；　clean　and　free　of　blood。　He　held　it　out　to　me　on　the　tip　of　his　tongue。　I　picked　the　ring　off　and　wrapped　my　fingers　around　it。
　〃You　just　want　me　to　give　you　a　knife；〃　he　said。
　〃I　want　to　shove　a　silver　blade　so　deep　inside　you　that　the　hilt　bruises　your　flesh。〃
　He　shuddered；　breath　escaping　in　a　long　sigh。
　〃You'll　never　find　anyone　else　like　me；　Gabriel。　Play　with　me；　Gabriel；　and　I'll　be　the　best　sex　you　ever　had。〃
　〃You'll　try　and　kill　me；〃　he　said。
　I　slid　my　fingers　along　the　top　of　his　leather　pants。　〃Oh；　yeah；　but　have　you　ever　really　been　in　danger　of　dying　since　that　first　time　with　Elizabeth？　Since　she　shapeshifted　underneath　you；　have　you　ever　feared　for　your　life　during　sex？　Did　you　ever　ride　that　thin；　shining　line　between　pleasure　and　death　again？〃
　He　turned　away　from　me；　not　meeting　my　eyes。　I　touched　his　face　with　my　bound　hands；　turned　him　back　to　me。　〃Rainy　hasn't　let　you；　has　she？　Just　like　she　won't　let　you　tonight。　You're　alpha；　Gabriel；　I　can　feel　it。　Don't　let　her　steal　this　from　you。　Don't　let　her　steal　me　from　you。〃
　Gabriel　stared　at　me；　our　bodies　touching；　faces　close　enough　to　kiss。　〃You'll　kill　me。〃
　〃Maybe；　or　you'll　kill　me。〃
　〃You　might　survive；〃　he　said；　〃I　did。〃
　〃Are　you　still　fucking　Elizabeth；　now　that　you　survived？〃　I　kissed　him　softly；　running　my　teeth　along　his　skin。
　〃Elizabeth　bores　me。〃
　〃Would　you　bore　me；　Gabriel？　If　I　survive；　would　you　be　boring？〃
　〃No；〃　he　whispered。　I　knew　I　had　him；　just　like　that。　I　either　had　the　beginnings　of　a　brilliant　plan；　or　I'd　bought　myself　some　time；　some　options。　It　was　an　improvement。　The　real　question　was　how　much　time　did　Jean…Claude　and　Richard　have？　How　long　until　Dominic　cut　them　open？　If　I　couldn't　get　there　in　time；　I　didn't　want　to　get　there　at　all。　If　they　both　died；　I　almost　wanted　Gabriel　to　finish　me。　Almost。

　They　kept　me　tied　to　the　bed；　but　Gabriel　slipped　the　knives　back　in　the　wrist　sheaths。　He　held　the　big　knife　that　went　down　along　my　spine　up　to　the　light。　I　thought　he　wouldn't　give　it　back；　but　in　the　end；　he　swept　my　hair　to　one　side　and　slipped　it　into　the　sheath。
　〃Don't　cut　the　ropes　until　I'm　in　the　shot。　I　want　the　camera　to　know　why　you're　scared。　Promise　not　to　spoil　it。〃
　〃Give　me　a　gun　and　I'll　wait　until　you're　on　top　of　me　to　pull　the　trigger。〃
　He　smiled　and　waved　a　finger　in　my　face　like　you'd　scold　a　child。　〃Uh；　uh；　uh。　No　rough　stuff。〃
　I　took　a　deep　breath　and　let　it　out。　〃Can't　blame　a　girl　for　trying。〃
　Gabriel　laughed；　high　and　nervous。　〃No；　can't　blame　you　for　trying。〃
　We　had　lights；　camera；　all　we　needed　was　action。　Gabriel　had　wiped　the　blood　off　his　chest　and　put　the　silver　ring　back　into　his　flesh。　We　were　starting　over　for　the　camera。　They'd　even　cleaned　the　blood　off　my　mouth　and　freshened　the　makeup。　It　was　the　young　woman；　Heidi；　the　lycanthrope　that　did　the　makeup。　Her　eyes　were　too　wide。　Her　hands　shook　when　she　touched　me。
　She　whispered　as　she　dabbed　at　my　face。　〃Be　careful　when　he　kisses　you。　He　ate　a　girl's　tongue　out　once。〃
　〃Can　you　get　me　a　gun？〃
　She　shivered；　eyes　rolling　white　and　panicked。　She　shook　her　head。　〃Raina'd　kill　me。〃
　〃Not　if　she's　dead。〃
　Heidi　shook　her　head　over　and　over　and　backed　off　the　bed。
　Most　of　the　rest　of　the　crew　walked　out。　When　the　director　realized　they　were　going　to　lose　too　many　people　to　run　things；　he　offered　bonuses。　Big　bonuses；　and　a　few　people　stayed。　The　rest　left。　They　didn't　do　snuff　films。　They　wouldn't　watch　Gabriel　kill　me；　but　they　wouldn't　stop　it；　either。　Maybe　one　of　them　would　call　the　police。　It　was　a　nice　thought；　but　I　didn't　pin　any　hopes　on　it。
　Power　rushed　over　me　in　a　skin…prickling　wave。　It　tugged　at　something　low　and　deep　in　my　body。　The　sensation　was　gone　almost　as　soon　as　it　came；　but　a　smell　lingered　over　my　skin　like　I'd　walked　through　somebody's　ghost。　I　smelled　Richard's　aftershave。　Richard　was　trying　to　tell　me　something；　either　on　purpose　or　because　he　was　being　driven　by　fear。　Either　way；　time　was　running　out。　I　had　to　save　them。　I　had　to。　There　was　no　other　choice。　Saving　them　meant　bringing　Gabriel　in　close　enough　to　kill　him。　Close　to　me。　A　mixed　blessing　at　best。
　〃Get　on　with　it；〃　I　said。
　〃You　are　terribly　eager　for　someone　who's　about　to　die　a　truly　horrible　death；〃　Raina　said。
　I　smiled。　I　made　the　smile　everything　Gabriel　wanted　it　to　be；　confident；　dangerous；　sexual。　〃I　don't　plan　to　die。〃
　Gabriel's　breath　sighed　outward。　〃Let's　do　it。〃
　Raina　shook　her　head　and　stepped　back　out　of　the　shot。　〃Fuck　her；　Gabriel；　make　her　cry　out　your　name　before　you　kill　her。〃
　〃My　pleasure；〃　he　whispered。　He　stalked　onto　the　floor　of　the　fake　bedroom。
　I　unsheathed　a　wrist　knife　and　cut　the　rope　that　held　me　to　the　headboard。　My　wrists　were　still　bound。　I　watched　him　while　I　turned　the　blade　to　cut　between　my　hands。　He　could　have　jumped　me　then；　but　he　didn't。　He　glided　around　the　bed　while　I　cut　my　hands　loose。
　He　ended　on　his　knees　beside　the　bed；　staring　at　me。　I　backed　away　from　him；　knife　in　my　right　hand。　I　was　going　to　get　off　the　damn　bed。
　Gabriel　crawled　up　on　the　bed　as　I　crawled　off　it。　He　mimicked　my　movements　but　made　them　graceful　and　painfully　slow。　He　shimmered　with　contained　energy。　He　wasn't　doing　a　damn　thing　but　crawling　across　a　bed；　but　the　promise　of　violence　and　sex　rode　the　air　like　lightning。
　He　was　faster　than　me。　His　reach　was　almost　twice　mine。　He　was　certainly　stronger　than
