“What?” I ask, genuinely confused at how I could have missed details from my recollection.
“How the fuck that happened.” He points at my lip, the blossoming bruise a twin to the one my mother graced me with months ago.
“He hit me,” I admit.
“Then he’s a dead man,” he says simply, proceeding to find him through my phone, just like Tyler did me.
CHAPTER TWELVE
DEVIL I KNOW – ALLIE X
Leo
Her eyes zero in on the knife as I slip it in its holster and clip it to my belt. “That seems unnecessary. I don’t think they’ll hurt me.”
“Again,” I add.
She doesn’t retreat at the bite in my tone. If anything, my anger draws her in, confusing the shit out of me. She reaches for me, her fingers caressing the back of my hand, then curiously seeking out the carved handle of the blade.
“I don’t think they’ll hurt me, again,” she corrects, idly exploring the lines and ridges in the metal.
I lift her chin so I can stare into her beautiful soul.
Her hazel eyes snap up to mine and my cock hardens at her breathless voice. “I guess I should be glad you’re not taking a gun.”
“I take my gun everywhere, Kyra. Tonight’s no different.”
“What?”
“The only time it’s not with me is at Verus. I was carrying it the night we met. I had it in church while I was watching you on your knees for God. And it was with me the night I came on your tongue.”
She sucks in a breath as the truth of my words dawns on her.
“There’s no fucking way I’m relinquishing it now. Especially when I finally have something to protect.”
Her brows draw together. “If not a weapon for protection, what was it to you before?”
“A dangerous toy,” I admit nonchalantly. “I have a weakness for dangerous things. An addiction, if you will.” I don’t bother stopping the dark grin that tugs at my mouth. We’re past the point of no return. She might as well see all of me.
My eyes find hers, trailing a hot path down her body and back up to her lips. “You’re the pride of my collection.”
“I’m…a toy?” she sputters.
I reprimand her with a cluck of my tongue. “You’re my toy. Sometimes,” I add, enjoying the hell out of her incredulous expression. “Other times you’re my warmth, my home, my queen. Soon, you’ll be my lover.” And, if I can trick her into never leaving, one day she’ll be my wife.
Her eyes widen and her chest rises and falls with her shallow breaths.
I step closer, leaning into her lips and stopping just shy of a kiss. My cock grazes her belly and I almost lose control and dive between her legs when a soft whimper escapes her.
“But any or all of these, the most important detail doesn’t change.”
“What’s that?” she whispers.
“You’re mine.”
Her jaw drops and I take a long moment to admire the beautiful, speechless woman in front of me.
“Time to go, dolcezza. You have some introductions to make.”
