When I turn around, Andrea is standing there looking like the Norse goddess of death, Hel, herself. Completely stripped of all her clothing and covered in her attacker's blood. Just how I like to see her.

“I want to be the one to do it.” She states, holding out her hand for the matches I have taken out of my pocket.

“Okay, pup, you can do it.”

Handing the matchbox to her, she takes one and strikes it against the side of the box before slowly tossing it onto the gasoline-covered couch. It lights up in an instant and we both just stand there, watching as it burns , before I whisk her back out of the door.

We'll be back another day to make sure the asshole died in this fire as he deserves. I would have preferred to take my time with him, but I just want to get my woman home.

Chapter twenty-eight

Andrea

Neverinamillionyears did I think D would come to save me from this hellhole. I was so sure that I was going to die today, tied up to that fucking spanking bench for what I did. I don't regret it one bit either. Well, maybe a little, considering I choked on the damn thing before spitting it out. So fucking gross. But I will never forget the amazing feeling of taking back my power, even if I was going to die for it. My head is filled with so much right now that I can barely even think straight as D leads me away from the house as it burns behind us.

Stopping suddenly, I turn around to observe what is happening. Dropping D’s hand, I fold my arms over my chest as I watch the flames as they engulf the house. Watching as the entire cause of my nightmares slowly burns to the ground. I hope The Alpha doesn't make it out of there. He deserves to burn alive for all the hurt that he has caused in his lifetime.

Feeling a pair of powerful arms wrap around me, I lean into them for support, wincing from the pain. I don't mind it so much now as I’m so tired that I can hardly stay upright on my own. The adrenaline is starting to wear off, and the exhaustion is creeping in. The heat from his body causes me to shiver, so I tip into his warmth, letting him comfort me.

“It’s beautiful, isn't it, pup?” he asks as he pulls me impossibly further into him.

“It is something, that's for sure. Just kind of surreal to finally see the thing you've been dreaming about come true.”

Taking my last look at the house, I shrug, turning in his arms and burying my face into his chest.

“Thank you for saving me. I know I mean nothing to you, but it means everything to me.”

Stepping back out of his arms, I shake my aching limbs out, looking around me. If there is anyone left alive after tonight, I don't see them. But what I do see are three men making their way toward us and start panicking. Ready to run for the hills, D grabs me by the arm to hold me in my place.

“Relax, these are my brothers. You have nothing to worry about because if any of these fuckers even think about touching you, they will have to deal with me.”

“I don't know, D. This one here looks like he could be a lot of fun, if you know what I mean.”

Sauntering up to the three men as they stop near us, I put my hand on the broad chest of the only blond one in the group. He looks younger than D and while he is blond; he is still stunning to look at.

A growl fills the air behind me, causing a shiver to race down my spine. Spinning around, I back into the poor guy and grind my ass on him. I can feel his cock starting to swell in his jeans at the contact. He looks up and locks eyes with D, hands flying into the air as he backs away from me.

“I think that's about enough, don't you, pup?” he says, walking up to me. “Or do you think you could handle both of us?”

“Oh yeah, I think I'll pass on the Andy sandwich. One dick is more than enough for this girl. Thanks though.”

Walking away from the men, I head toward the trees. Ready to leave this all behind for good.

Turning suddenly, I say, “Hey blondie, sorry if I got you in trouble. I love fucking with the asshole. It's just too much fun.”

“No hard feelings, hun. Damien can be a bit overprotective of the things he likes, but he means well. You should give him a chance.”

“Woah! Woah! Woah! Did you just say his name is fucking Damien? Or did I just hear that wrong?”

There is no way in hell I’m leaving now. Things just got interesting.

“You mean to tell me that this entire time, you had no idea what his name was?” he chuckles as he shakes his head in disbelief.

“No, I didn't! He always said that I will know his name when I earn it or some shit. I've always referred to him as D!” Laughing myself as I look around for Damien.

“Well, I suppose since Damien couldn't hang around for me to thank properly, I will just be on my way out then. Thanks for all the help, guys. I do appreciate everything you all have done for me. Maybe we'll all run into each other again someday and I can return the favor.”

They all tell me I should wait around for D to come back, but I just can't.
