“Be my pleasure.” Turning my face, I sank my teeth into her hip.
She yelped.
Another chorus of sick laughter.
I had no idea how I’d mark her without hurting her, but that was a problem for later. Slapping her ass again, I winked, jumped off the stage, then carted my naked jewel through the gazebo, out into the night-shrouded gardens, and deep into the heart of Victor’s fake fortress.
I didn’t stop until I’d stalked up the stairs, entered my chamber, and almost collapsed to my knees the moment the door slammed closed behind me.
Chapter Twenty-Two

HENRI STUMBLED AS WE CROSSED the threshold.
Lurching forward, he dumped me unceremoniously onto his bed, freed me from the belt buckled around my shackled wrists, then backed away as if I’d burned him.
The cloud-like softness enveloped me with a whiff of clean sheets and his unique earthy, woodsy scent. My heart skipped as the stickiness of his pleasure dribbled between my legs, and my bruised ribs ached from his shoulder.
Being hauled up here like a dead deer hadn’t exactly been comfortable, and the lack of food in my belly seemed all the more obvious now it’d been squished into nothing.
A few mouthfuls at dinner had barely tamed my starvation, but…if I had to be completely truthful, food wasn’t what I hungered for.
Shifting on the bed, I gathered my legs beneath me and kneeled. My clit throbbed for attention. My entire body on tenterhooks for more.
Henri’s grey gaze met mine.
And all the fire in my blood ignited.
When he’d entered me?
God, I almost came.
When he’d fucked me?
I struggled to remember not to enjoy it.
And when he’d roared and spurted inside me?
I very nearly followed him.
I would’ve followed him.
If it wasn’t for them.
The bastards watching us.
The monsters who destroyed the lives of others.
And I couldn’t.
I couldn’t let myself go.
Couldn’t allow myself to feel anything other than sickening fury and hate.
I didn’t care that Peter said living in a whorehouse caused everything to become sexual. I didn’t care that my body had already begun the slippery slope into its demise.
