Slowly, he moved until I was on my knees, my head on the pillows. He pressed down on my back, the weight of his body pinning me to the bed. I cried out as he slammed his massive cock into me, hard enough to rock me forward. His thrusts became shorter and harder. He kissed down my neck, his hot tongue leaving a wet trail over my skin until he pulled my hair and told me, "I'm going to cum in you now."
Between my legs, I clenched around him as if I could hold him inside me, if only for a moment longer.
He pounded into me a last time, and I threw my head back as I came, the bliss tearing through my body, sharp and sweet.
Cain gave one last thrust and filled me with cum, his cock twitching and pulsing with each jet. The white-hot heat of him inside me made me shudder from the force of my own orgasm. He gave a dark chuckle as if he knew what he was doing to me, and I moaned, unable to stop.
When Cain withdrew, I whimpered from the loss, but he came back with a cloth to clean me up. His hand wiping the rough, warm washcloth through my folds and over my swollen, sensitive clit made me moan all over again, and he gave me a look that was distinctly self-satisfied.
He lay next to me and pulled me into his arms, and I curled against him. I felt heavy and tired, as if sleep were pulling against me.
"I'm here," he murmured. "I'll protect you."
I knew he would.
But given how little Cain cared about anyone else in this world…I worried what he would do to protect me.

AURORA
In the morning, I woke up to find myself too warm. Cain's muscular arm was draped over me, tucking me into his side, but Stellan had come in sometime during the night and was laying with his forehead against mine. The three of us were intimately close, and I just lay there for a few heartbeats, feeling warm and content in a way I knew wouldn't last. When I glanced beyond Stellan's broad, bare shoulder, I glimpsed Pax sleeping just beyond him. After all, Pax and I needed each other at night.
Stellan's eyes blinked open, his deep blue eyes meeting mine.
"Good morning," he whispered, before kissing between my eyebrows.
"Good morning." I threw my leg over his, enjoying the comfort of his body against mine. I hadn't thought I'd be able to sleep, but I'd slept deeply after Cain.
He pressed a gentle kiss to the side of my mouth, and I returned it, kissing him more deeply, as I slid over him to straddle him. He groaned as I kept going, climbing over Paxton too so I could leave the bed.
"I know," I whispered, reluctant to leave the three muscular forms sleeping in the early morning light. "But I need to talk to Remy."
"I try not to do that before nine am," Stellan said, but his eyes said he understood no matter how glib he sounded. "I'll go with you. I can't sleep if you can't."
Stellan eased off the end of the bed, leaving Cain and Pax—I wondered if they might snuggle—and in just his boxers, he padded ahead of me to open the door.
Down the hall, Remington's door was open. When we walked in, he obviously hadn't been to bed yet, and he looked exhausted and rumpled. But he held out his arm to me, and I went and sat on his lap. He wrapped one arm around my waist as he pointed at his screens.
"I think I triangulated Carnage's location to within a twenty-mile radius," he said. "He tries to avoid leaving an obvious pattern, but no matter how superhuman he thinks he is...he's not."
"If we have a twenty mile radius, I'm sure he'll find me," I said.
Stellan looked grim. He and Remington exchanged a look.
"That's not happening," Stellan said. "Unless we have eyes on him first, you're not playing bait."
"We don't have a lot of time." I couldn't stop thinking of my mother's face. When would the Demon get tired of keeping her alive to keep me dancing?
Maybe never. I knew how much he wanted to control me. But he was never tolerant of my weaknesses, either.
A sudden jolt of fear ran through me as I studied Stellan and Remington and realized... they were my weaknesses. Along with Jenna and my mother, they were the only human connections in the world I cared about.
I'd kill Carnage for my mom. That would buy us time, and then I'd find the Demon and kill him. For them. Then I would be free, and I'd never need to kill again. The thought sent a shiver of relief through me.
"Here's what we have working for us," Remington said, pulling up a map on screen. "There are only so many plots of land in this area. I've been cross checking ownership, trying to eliminate people who aren't potential suspects. Aurora, you know Carnage's face, right?"
"Yes." One little word with so much weight behind it.
