“Had a little too much fun.”
His voice stayed calm. Too calm.
“In fact, I was having so much fun that I didn’t even realize the maid was in my bathroom, cleaning the whole time! Listening. Waiting for a chance to slip out without me noticing.”
A small shrug.
“But when I found her hiding… and then she saw the girl…”
Another shrug. Colder this time.
“I justknewthe maid wasn’t going to keep quiet.”
His gaze didn’t waver.
“So I did the same to her.”
Silence stretched for a beat before he continued.
“I would’ve done it to her boys too,” he added. “Wrapped my hands around their throats and finished it right there… but they were slippery.”
His smile returned. Slow. Cruel.
“I often wondered where they ended up. We searched the city looking high and low for the brats, but they stayed hidden. I suppose it’s a delightful coincidence,” he said softly, “that my favorite wife led me right back to unfinished business and loose ends.”
“They’ll pay for this,” he added, brushing his fingers over Silas' claiming mark. I jerked my head away from his touch.
He just laughed, settling back into his seat across from me.
“I’ve just had the most wonderful idea,” he went on. “I think I’ll make them watch.”
My brow furrowed.
“Yes.I'll make them watch as I fuck you for the first time. They won’t be able to do a thing while you wail fat tears with my cock inside you.”
My eyes widened.
“See, your little escape attempt has made me realize something,” he continued, his voice dropping lower. “Your submissionisn’t all that important to me anymore. For five years, I waited. And then you weregone.”
His gaze hardened.
“I’m not going to risk waiting again.”
He leaned over, his voice close to my ear.
“I will take what’s mine, whether you submit or not.”
A dark smile spread across his face.
“And while I’m doing it, I’ll make Silas and Knox watch.”
A pause.
“Then I’ll kill them…” he said almost thoughtfully.
His eyes locked onto mine, gauging my reaction.
“And maybe I’ll fuck you again in the presence of their cold, still, corpses… just to make sure you understand.”
