Kieran’s head dipped, this time slower.
I thought of the way I’d kissed the man standing in front of me.
The way I’d let him touch me.
The way he’d felt inside me.
It felt like someone grabbed my heart and squeezed. The pain was so intense it stole my next breaths.
M
ake it go away.
“He’d be furious,” I said through the pain.
“Then how do I find him?”
I could see it. Kieran was already thinking of every way to kill a man he didn’t have a name for.
“You can’t; he won’t let you.”
A cruel grin tugged at Kieran’s mouth. “Wanna bet?”
A dry laugh forced from my chest. Yes, I did.
And I wanted to bet on Kieran.
But I was already playing such a dangerous game.
I already had so many lives at the tips of my fingers.
Kieran’s arm suddenly snaked around my waist and his mouth molded to mine. He crawled on the bed and onto me, leaning me back and pressing his body to mine in all the ways that made me forget about the horrors in my mind.
As for his . . .
Three . . .
Two . . .
One . . .
His body started to vibrate as that monster inside began taking over, but he simply slid me up the bed like I weighed nothing and curled his body around mine.
“Tell me,” he begged gently as his lips ghosted along my shoulder. “Tell me and I’ll find a way to put an end to it.”
Make it go away.
Please . . .
I burrowed deeper against his chest, hoping he wouldn’t be able to see the longing and fear in my eyes.
You can’t.
Jessica and I fell asleep not long after Beck left. And when I woke, she was gone.
I tried not to think of where my body automatically wanted to take me. Tried not to think of the name that had been the fourth on my list for so long. Tried not to think of why Jessica was gone after all the shit she told me.
Tried not to think that she was never coming back.
