‘How long?’
‘Until the doctor clears your stomach. Don’t want to go bursting your stitches and getting an infection.’ The way her breath quickened let me know she wanted to break the rules as badly as I did.
‘When I’m cleared for action, you better get ready, Cora. I’m going to tie you down and fuck you until you beg me to stop. I’m going to make you need to come so badly that you cry, and then I’m going to use those tears to fuck that pretty ass of yours.’
I bit my tongue as I waited for her reaction, realising that she’d gone through something not so dissimilar with Edwards.
‘I want you to claim every part of me, Sir,’ she said, her pupils blown as she arched her body against my hip.
‘If you need it softer for a while, after everything that happened, that’s okay, too.’
‘I want you. The way it was. Don’t let him ruin it for us.’
‘Still my dirty cock-whore, then?’
‘Forever.’
FORTY-THREE
CORA
Nerves crashed in my stomach as I followed the nurse into the plushly decorated sitting room at the end of the corridor.
Ruby stood as I entered, both of us staring at one another while the nurse quietly left and closed the door.
‘I’m so sorry,’ Ruby said. Her fingers whitened at the ends as she gripped her hands so tightly together. My lip stung where I worried at it with my teeth, unsure of what to say. The spot where I held my crutch grew slippery beneath my palm.
‘What happened?’ she asked when I failed to answer her. My walls had slammed up on seeing her, barely feeling like I knew my twin anymore.
‘Lots,’ I replied, hobbling to a seat and lowering myself into it.
Her brows furrowed as she sat down neatly across from me and looked me over. ‘Ewen didn’t do it? Did he?’
Battening down a surge of anger, I shook my head.
‘I need to thank him for helping me,’ Ruby said while gazing down at her entwined fingers. ‘I was going down a dark path, and if he hadn’t forced me into recovery, lord knows where I would have ended up.’
‘Why did you do it? The drugs?’
‘As a way to feel included, to begin with. I didn’t want to be seen as a killjoy. But some of them made me feel so good. When my opiates from the hospital ran out, Seth was only too keen to replace them. But what he asked for in return kept changing. Getting worse. But I needed the high.‘
‘Seth tried to rape me that night. He forced drugs down my throat that he hoped would mask it.’
‘Fuck,’ she whispered. ‘What happened?’
‘Ewen got me out before he could. Then he went back and made sure he’d never hurt anyone again.’
Ruby’s eyes widened as she processed what I said before she blinked in quick succession.
‘He’s dead?’ She whispered, glancing at the door.
‘It’s okay, the staff won’t report it. His family owns half of the hospital. Ewen doesn’t just own the club. He’s part of an organised crime family.’
Ruby’s nostrils flared. ‘So you’re dating one of the guys who puts the drugs on the streets? The ones that almost ruined my life?’
‘Yes. And no. Ever since his sister Maeve took over, they largely deal in the illicit trade of medical drugs. Shipping from Europe to people who need access to medical treatment but can’t afford the pharmaceutical rates or deadlines.’
‘And you believe him?’ she asked, looking incredulous.
