Fangs bit into my neck, the stinging prick sending a familiar shiver through my being. My yelp morphed into a moan, my body instantly relaxing into my masculine cage.
Cam,my soul seemed to whisper.
Yes,he replied, his blazing form a brand against my back.Cane snapped your neck. You’ve been out for a few hours.
My brow furrowed, his words slowly processing through the befuddled mess of my mind.
He’s given me the day—which is really just an afternoon now—to process everything he’s told me. But I suspect there are cameras in here, so I need you to play your part.
M-my part?I repeated, still muddling through everything he’d said.
Yes, love. Your part as my queen. His lips caressed my pulse, reminding me of the fangs in my neck from moments ago.
You bit me,I marveled.You… you haven’t bitten me in…I frowned harder, memories weaving together behind my eyes.
Cam killing me.
Me waking up in his underground lair.
My quest to make him remember me.
Our bond nearly shattering.
His emotions and intentions slamming into me. His goal to make me his queen. His comments about old Cam not being worthy of me.
Me being taken.
Cane…
My eyes opened, the tiled wall foreign and cold. However, the body beneath me was the complete opposite—familiar andhot.
I shivered, the juxtaposition of our situation slamming into me and stealing the air from my lungs.
Cam’s mouth moved against my neck, his muscular arms still resembling bands around my stomach. “It’s been a long fucking night, Ismerelda. And I’m about to turn it into an even longer day.”
Cam’s mind elaborated on what he meant, his dark intentions glittering to life via our bond.
This was the new version of Cam. The one who didn’t hold back. The unrepentant predator.
A shudder worked through me as I realized what this would entail.
He’s going to use me again.
Fuck me.
Bleed me dry.
Because we were on camera.
And likely being spied on by his brother right this very moment.
That realization sent a chill down my spine, Cane’s earlier taunts echoing in my mind. He’d watched Cam fuck me. Had said how much he’d enjoyed the show. How he’d liked observing me on the brink of death.
He’d expect a similar demonstration now.
And Cam was ready to oblige him.
I originally wanted to take you back to the jet,Cam whispered to me, his thoughts confirming the veracity of his words.Back to your brother, where you’d be safe. But it would only be temporary, Izzy. If Cane thinks he can’tcureme of my humanity, he’ll kill you. And I can’t let that happen.
