EPILOGUE

Ava

The door slammed shut behind me and I quaked, a thrill of fear and rampant arousal coursing through me at the deafening echo. His footsteps were loud and angry as he followed me into the foyer.

The thrill of the chase consumed me.

I still hadn’t gotten used to living in the lap of luxury. Cyrus’ penthouse apartment was massive, sprawling and dripping with expensive taste. My uncle David had given me his word of approval after finding out about the whirlwind romance between Cyrus and me. Apparently, the two of them procured several business deals between each other in the past and thought quite highly of each another.

Everything had just sort of fallen into place after that.

“What do you have to say for yourself, my beautiful wife?” he asked, and my thighs trembled at the very dark promise in his voice. I drew in a shaky breath as he grasped my arms roughly enough to remind me of his strength, but not hard enough to hurt me.

“I think the mayor seemed agreeable to our cause by the time we took our leave,” I offered suggestively.

We’d just returned from an important charity function in which the two of us had arranged a meeting with the new mayor. The invitation had been hard to come by and had taken a lot of work, but an agreement had finally been reached between us. He would look the other way in exchange for certain charitable donations to the causes he supported. He’d also made it clear that he would not turn his nose up at any extra that ended up in his offshore accounts.

“I watched you with him, my wife. You were flirting with him right in front of me,” he accused.

I swallowed hard. I knew he’d noticed. I’d been particularly shameless about playing with my hair or dragging my fingertips up and down the neckline of my dress. When I’d dropped something in front of the mayor, I’d bent over in a way that would give him ample view of my cleavage. I’d exaggerated the maneuver when I noticed that Cyrus had been watching.

Cyrus pulled me close against him. He grasped my left hand and pressed it against my chest. “This ring means you belong to me, my love,” he warned.

I squirmed against him. I could feel his cock hardening against my ass, and I taunted him with my body without remorse.

“I know,” I replied feistily.

“You weren’t flirting with him because you wanted to, though. I think it was something else entirely,” he mused, and I stiffened against him.

“I don’t know what you mean,” I answered quickly.

“Oh, but you do, my bad girl. You wanted to get back at me for canceling our date night so that we could both go to the mayor’s charity ball, didn’t you?” he said arrogantly. He was right, but I didn’t want to admit it.

I tried to pull away from him, but he didn’t let me go. To be honest, I didn’t really want him to, and my pussy pulsed unbecomingly.

He gripped the edges of my dress and tore it open like it was made of nothing more than paper. I cried out in surprise, but he made quick work of the expensive ball gown as if it meant nothing.

I knew he didn’t care how much it cost. He’d buy me another that much grander.

He tossed it to the side with one arm still holding me prisoner. He ripped my bra clean in half, making my breasts bounce free. My nipples hardened at the sudden exposure.

I trembled, standing there in nothing more than a skimpy pair of panties and a pair of Jimmy Choos that were precariously tall.

“I am the only one that you are to flirt with, wife,” he growled.

His hand dove down and gripped my panties, pulling them up so that the fabric speared through my pussy and wedged against my clit hard enough to sting.

“I am the only one that gets to see you like this,” he declared.

His grip on my lacey panties became dangerous and he tore them off before I could do anything to stop him.

“I’m the only one who gets to hurt you like this,” he spat as I keeled forward, reeling from the stinging agony blossoming across my most sensitive place.

I stood before him now, naked, trembling, and afraid.

Exactly how I wanted to be.

He spun me around and grasped my nipples, pulling me toward him roughly enough to make me scream from the pain.
