The agony and uncomfortableness in my chest have me reaching down between us and wrapping my hand around his erection. Lifting me, he lets me sink down onto him, and we gasp. It’s as intense as the other time, if not more now that I know a bit about the man beneath me. “Did she pay for it? Ana—”

“Don’t say her name,” he cuts me off. “I never want to hear her name come out of your mouth.”

“I’m sorry.”

“She’s dead. Just like Blake will be once I find him.” Laying back on the bed, his hands grip my hips as I grind into his stomach. I’m too overcome in sensation to take in precisely what he just said. That’s too scary to think about. Gathering from the devilish glint in his eyes, he doesn’t want to go there either. “Show me what it’s like to have his princess.”

Groaning when his hips drive upward, I ride him slow and deep. When I’m finally coming, his name falls past my lips. He watches me like he’s never seen me before, eyes burning into my soul. After pulling out of me and coming over his stomach, he carries me in his arms into the shower.

He kisses me against the tiles under the hot stream of water, pulling away enough to take time to wash me thoroughly with soap and then himself. After shutting off the water, he inspects my arm, which has healed quite a bit already, and then pulls one of his black T-shirts over my head.

Too exhausted to think straight, he pulls me into bed next to him, tucking me under his arm like maybe I’ve always belonged there. We don’t utter a word, and I don’t think we should. Even though it terrifies me, I settle into the warmth and safety he’s providing me, allowing myself, for the first time, to imagine a future like this.

After everything, my chest warms at the thought, which I never imagined was possible.

Milton’s right. I am made for him, just like he’s made for me. Like maybe I knew it the first time I laid eyes on him. No one else will ever come close. I just hope it’s the same for him.

When I finally succumb to sleep, I dream of devil red eyes luring me into the underground tunnels of Club X. And a collar around my neck.
