“Open! Fuck, Sam, open!!” Her screaming turns into unbearable shrieks being pulled out from deep inside her.

“You can’t do that!” Rachel shouts at him as if he doesn’t get it. I’m afraid he knows precisely what he’s doing. She just doesn’t see it. “She…she can’t be alone in a room with the door closed, let alone locked! She…”

She finally gets it.

“But you know that already,” Rachel concludes in a whisper.

Sam doesn’t grant her a response. He puts the key in his pocket and starts walking away, but none of us follow him.

“Rachel,” he tells her. “The longer you stay by that door trying to reassure her, the longer she stays in there.”

Rachel gulps at the threat and steps away from the door. On the other side, all we can hear are Rose’s sobs.

“I’ve never seen her cry before,” Rachel admits quietly.

“There’s a reason for that,” Sam agrees. His gaze snaps to me. “We need to talk.”

And while I was worried for Rose’s safety, it all goes away with the tone in his voice.

Now I’m just worried about mine.

As Lik and I walk back into the kitchen and living room, my head gets crowded with thoughts of the mistakes I made.

I can’t just order Rose White around. A girl who spent her life fighting orders. Fighting people controlling her. Finding loopholes to avoid obeying every single powerful, dangerous man who tried to keep her for themselves.

I breathe in through my nose and exhale through my mouth. My fist is itching to punch a wall and I run my knuckles against my jaw.

I betrayed Lik, and I’m paying for the consequences. I should have known it would come back and bite me in the ass. And I could have taken it. I would have gritted my teeth and accepted my punishment…if it had been anyone else buther.

I’m a possessive man when it comes to Lik. I have found what I looked for all my life in a man who accepted to submit to me. In an addict who chose me for redemption. We fell in love at points in our lives where we needed each other the most.

Lik is the high to every single one of my lows. He picked me up more times than I care to admit. Lik fills my silences with love and joy. He is my comfort when I lose myself to phantom pains. His humor, his childishness, his lack of control over his impulses. It all fits with me in an unexplainable way that we’ve both become addicted to.

He’s mad at me, furious even, but he can’t leave me. Not only because he knows I would never let him—I would chase him down, I would bring him back, kicking and screaming. I would chain him up and shove my cock so far down his throat it would cause permanent damage. No, he can’t leave me because we are nothing without the other. What’s day without night? What’s the sun without the moon? What’s a king without a kingdom?

Nothing.

It’s endless time and pointless lives. It’s running around in a circle, losing beginning and end, losing a sense of self, losing sanity.

That’s me without Lik and Lik without me.

And yet, there is one thing he cannot be for me. Something he willneverbe.

Rose.

While I wish I could explain it to him. While I wish I could put words to the feelings that crossed my body knowing he decided to take his revenge on me by touchingher. By putting his hands onher.

While I wish I could explain how I felt to learn that she let him make her feel good. She let him make her come. She fucking gave to him what she knows belongs tome.

I can’t.

I have killed most people Rose has slept with. Every single one whose death wouldn’t raise suspicions is six feet under. Not that she knows it.
