After that, I took it. My protests were a thing that belonged to another world. And I rode him. I made him eat me out.
Then we fucked again. This time it was slow and deep and like souls coming together.
That’s all in my head, of course, because that shit belongs to other people and he’s just trying to force me into saying I’m his because he likes control. And . . .
I’m scared.
He stripped me so naked, there was nothing much except the ugliness, the bones and flesh, the imperfections.
He stripped everything from me and made me admit I wanted to be his.
But I’m not.
I can’t be.
Right?
Before I can even begin to try and formulate any kind of answer, there’s a knock on the door. My skin pricks before Christian walks in.
Heat burns in my cheeks as he does, he’s even more devastating to look at. Heartbreakingly gorgeous and dressed all in black.
I expect him to be gloating, an air of confidence like he won. But instead, his gaze is unreadable beneath the worry, and in his hand is a phone.
“You okay?”
“I don’t know.” I stare at him for another second before looking away to study my feet in their red DC sneakers. “I feel . . .”
“Like you’re mine?”
“Violated.”
There’s the smallest smile that whispers over his mouth. “No, sweetness. It’s why we had the safe word.”
“Christian.”
For a second, when he sighs, I think he’s paying heed to my warning, but he’s not. He comes over and holds out my phone.
“I’m sorry, Mia. I answered your phone.”
“You have no right—”
“Mine, sweetness, remember?” He sits next to me and I sigh now, starting to lean and melt into him against my will. “You’re mine.” Christian bites my shoulder. Then he rubs his cheek there.
“Who rang?”
He straightens and I drop my legs and turn. “The security company. Reaper. Seems there was a fire in the early hours.”
My heart is now slamming hard against my ribs as my stomach turns to lead.
“At Hellfire.”

It takes forever to get there. I sit in the seat of the borrowed car, Christian behind the wheel.
“Mia, talk to me.”
“What do you want me to talk about? How you forced me? How my life just literally went up in flames?”
