Reign watched me, his gaze telling me the fury he was restraining was a beast that wouldn't stay down long.
"Do you like pain?" Reign swallowed, his teeth gritting out the words. "You could've asked us. Any of us. Wecareabout you, Lizzie."
I gnawed on my cheek, not wanting to say the wrong thing.
How did I explain that I didn't want it but couldn't stop Alexander? That somehow he scared me into submission?
It's humiliating.
"Pleasure through pain has to be a good experience, sweetheart. Trust me."
I whipped my head to Reign, my eyes searching his as he frowned.
"What? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Because I don't know you, Reign."
His eyes flickered with confusion, his fingers scratching his chin as he stared skyward.
He held secrets that he shared somehow with Alexander, but I wanted in. I wanted to know Reign's secrets.
"What happened between you and Alexander, Reign?"
"I don't want to discuss it." Reign shrugged, sending me an almost apologetic look. "I know you want to know, Elizabeth...but I can't."
"You can't, or you won't?" I said, throwing my hands in the air. "Maybe I'll ask Alexander." I regretted it as soon as I said it, but I wasn't prepared for Reign's reaction.
Reign strode over to me, gripping my throat as he tugged me closer. His eyes bulged as he spoke through gritted teeth.
"Are you trying to fuck with me, Elizabeth?"
"I can't breathe," I whispered, clawing at his fingers.
He released me, stepping back, and stared at his hands in horror.
Coughing, I shook my head, wondering why the fuck I got involved in all of this.
Then Reign reminded me.
"If you want me to hurt you, I'll hurt you. If you want me to adore you, I'll adore you. But don't attempt to delve into my past because nothing there concerns you."
My breath burned, and I stared at him, unsure whether to fuck him or leave.
His breathing was erratic, his chest rising and falling as we stared at one another.
"Anything about you concerns me," I whispered, stepping closer to him.
His jaw tightened, but I reached out, stroking his chin softly.
"I'm not a romantic man; you know this. I don't want to lie to you."
Reign groaned, walking closer so I was against the wall. "I promised to share you, Elizabeth, but not with AJ West."
My tongue wet my lips, and Reign watched with interest.
"Neverwith AJ West. Am I clear?"
He had that look in his eyes again, which frightened me.
