"Get dressed. I need you downstairs."
"Can't it wait?” I ask.
"Downstairs now."
I roll back over, placing my arm on Riley's shoulder, ready to wake him.
"No, let him sleep. We can fill him in later." He demands before turning and striding out of the room.
Quietly, I slide out of bed as I head for the bathroom, starting the shower. I know I'm stalling for time, but I'm not ready to be alone with Corbin yet. It's not that I don't trust him. I do. But yesterday, when he found out about Xan, I'd never seen him so mad. When he stormed from the room, I had no idea what he would do, and it scared me.
Ten minutes later, I walk into Corbin's office to find him staring at his laptop.
"I watched the surveillance footage from yesterday when the flowers were delivered. It looks like he comes in from the south, but I still have no idea how he avoided the cameras.” He finally looks over at me. "Do you know what he looks like?"
I shake my head as I walk over, stopping at his side and staring at the image on the screen. The man appears to be in his mid-twenties. His cold hard eyes stare straight at the camera as if daring me to see him. He stands tall, carrying himself with an air of confidence that could easily rival that of Corbin or Riley.
Speaking of Corbin, I can feel his eyes on me, and I know he is waiting for me to say something.
"I don't know anything about him apart from his scent. Sandalwood. I caught it in the air the night I returned to my apartment and found all my clothes slashed and the bed covered in semen. Steven made me ring the police, but nothing ever came of it and the case went cold until the night he killed Steven.”
A growl breaks out before I fall hard into Corbin's lap. Corbin's very hard lap.
"He broke into your apartment?" he growls in my ear, and I shiver for all the wrong reasons. Being this close to Corbin after all these years is confusing and natural all at the same time.
"Yes." I gulp as he pulls me back tighter against him. His hand coming down to caress my thigh, making me thankful that I had thrown on one of Riley's t-shirts rather than getting ready.
"Why didn't you tell me last night?"
"I told Riley. You had already left by then."I reply as his hand drifts higher until it's right where I need it to be.
“A man broke into your apartment, destroyed your things. Left his semen, his scent in your bed and you didn't come home."
I shake my head. “This isn’t my home anymore.”I moan as his finger circles my clit.
“You had a choice, Lei. You’ve always had a choice. You could have come home. I waited for you. Every day for two years, I waited for you to walk back through the door.”
"I didn’t have a choice, Corbin, please, believe me."
His fingers pinch my clit as I gasp, laying my head back on his shoulder.
"This man is a fool if he thinks he can have you. I'll break every fucking bone in his body. I'll skin him alive. I'll carve out any fucking organ you desire, Lei, just say the word."
I shouldn't be this turned on by his words, but I am.At this moment, there’s only one thing I need from Corbin.
I need him to own me.
To claim me.
To make me his once more.
I can hear him breathing heavily behind me, the fast rise and fall of his chest against my back, and I know he's about to give me everything I need.
“You’re mine Lei and nobody is taking you from me.”
His hands grip my hips roughly as he pushes me to my feet, standing up behind me. “Do you trust me, mate?” he growls.
“Yes.” I moan.
