She bit her lip and I nuzzled into her hair, ignoring the incredulous look Pax was giving me as he watched me fawn over my girl.

“We had a mission,” she finally said stubbornly, and I sighed, annoyed that she wasn’t getting it.

Her only mission was to be with me. When was she going to learn that?

The elevator door opened and Pax frog marched Stellan down the hallway to one of our rooms.

“You’ve given up on the idea of killing him, right?” Aurora asked hesitantly.

“Mmmh. Still debating.” I stroked her shoulder, my fingers getting caught on a bandage there.

“Never mind. He’s definitely going to die,” I growled, letting her go and stalking after him.

“No. Cain. I did that,” she called out frantically.

I skidded to a halt and turned and frowned at her. “You tore out your tracker? Why the fuck would you do that.”

She waved her hands in the air in front of her, flustered. I sighed and grabbed her arm, pulling her through the doorway and into the room that Paxton had just unlocked.

Aurora yawned nonchalantly as she slid past me, jumping on the bed and spreading her limbs like some sort of sexy-looking starfish.

Not that I usually found starfish sexy.

Paxton threw Stellan to the ground and he growled and stood up. “Fuck you, Paxton.”

Pax just smiled at him as I clicked my tongue.

“The three of you are exhausting,” sighed Remington as he closed the room door behind us and locked it.

“Don’t worry, Remington. The fun’s about to start—stop looking at her,” I snapped at Stellan, who was staring at Aurora a bit obsessively.

Being obsessed with Aurora was my thing.

Aurora was tracking me with her gaze,not willing to take her eyes off the biggest predator in the room.

Smart girl.

"Now, Aurora, I’m not happy that you took out the tracker specifically meant to keep you safe," I said, leaning over her on the bed.

That fire that I loved so much sprang to life in her gaze.

“You mean the tracker that you put in me without my consent?" she asked sarcastically. I grabbed her chin, squeezing her cheeks.

"Is that how you talk to me?"

She just glared at me, her breath coming out in gasps, and a faint flush to her cheeks. That was one of the things I loved about Aurora--she was just as fucked up as I was. She got off on the crazy.

I let go of her face and she dropped back to the bed. Then I slowly turned around to face Stellan.

"I’ve decided not to kill you," I said calmly, a glimmer of satisfaction flickering in my chest at the look of relief on his face. "But I am going to punish you," I continued.

"Okay, what's it gonna be? Drain my bank accounts? Make me in charge of the pledges? Do your homework for the rest of the year? Chop off my balls?"

I chuckled, enjoying how his skin paled at the sound.

"Maybe all of that will come, but I had something more…immediate in mind."

"Are you going to cut off one of his fingers? Make him bathe in bleach? Tear off his fingernails one by one?" Remington drawled. "Because if that's what's happening right now, I’m going to order a pizza and take a nap. This whole saving the damsel in distress and her loser boyfriend has tuckered me out," he drawled, giving Aurora an annoying wink.
