My chest aches, but anger roils inside me.
He says the memories are too much forhim?He’s the one who lives in my nightmares rent free. His face is the one that’s haunted me for what seems like my entire life. The knowledge that the only reason I’m okay today is my silence angers me. I sold my soul and my silence to Emery’s father only days after being attacked by his filthy, entitled son. It’s the only reason I have any comfort and happiness today, and even it stemmed from that night, from the darkest parts of my past.
Fury ignites inside me, and I scream as I slam the paddles on either side of his head. His body convulses, eyes rolling back as electricity shoots through him. Shockwaves move through me as I pull them back, panting and letting tears of seething frenzy leave me.
“That’s my girl. Don’t you feel better?” Gage coaxes.
No words. I’ve no words for what I feel, but inside I feel a beast, dark and carnivorous, come to life, rolling around her neck as power tendrils through us both.
Moving forward as Emery comes back around, I hit him with another wave of power, screaming into the warehouse, echoing my torment through the three of us as I let it go. It’s as if I can see my anguish leaving me in the shouts of pain, flitting through the air as if they’re alive.
Gage grabs my hands, pulling them backward with the paddles coming along with them.
“We don’t want to kill him, little one,” he tells me, holding my wrists.
Realization dawns, and I drop the paddles, backing away as they hit the floor in a crash and covering my mouth as a cry of surprise leaves me.
“What have I done?” I sob, watching Emery’s unconscious body. Gage shuts the machine down, checking him for a pulse before coming toward me.
I back up, back hitting the cold wall.
“You’re not the fucked up one here. He is. He took what wasn’t his, you’re taking it back. When he comes to, we’ll see if your work gave him back more memories.”
Gage pulls me into him, and emotion overflows, sobs bursting from me like water from a broken dam. When I wrap around him, I realize the full excitement watching me lose it on Emery had coaxed within him. His hardness presses against my body, and my body warms. Pulling back, I look down at where his cock is hard as steel.
His eyes follow my line of sight. “You were magnificent, little one.”
My body sings to life under his praise, as if I was performing solely for him, wielding a symphony of electricity for his amusement.
I’d played right into the devil’s hand, and I’m not all too sure I hate it. Even as disappointment tries to rouse inside me at myself and what I’d done, heat burns it away under his unwavering stare.
Rising on tiptoes, I connect my lips with his, swallowing a deep, guttural moan. Tongues clashing, and hands grasping one another anywhere we can, the kiss is demanding and hot. Adrenaline fills me and coaxes me onward, into the depths of depravity.
I don’t know who I am anymore, but in this moment I feel powerful. More powerful than I’ve ever felt before. And it’s because of him. Even as fucked up as I am about what’s happened, and what I’d done, I know it’s because of him.
“Little one...” he breathes, pulling back.
I shake my head. “I’m taking back my power, remember?”
He eyes me heatedly.
“I’m partial to whatever it is you have planned, but I don’t want to be with you this way. Not here. Not...” he trails off, looking over at Emery, who’s unconscious.
I tug off my sweater, ripping my bra off next. “This is the best place. I want my power back, and you’ll be the first I’ve let inside me since what he did. Let him wake. Let him fucking watch me enjoy making my own choices for once. He ruined me...” I look down as the words rattle through me.
Gage moves forward, lifting my chin, his eyes meet mine as a smirk tugs his lips upward. “No, he didn’t. But I’m going to.”
CHAPTERSIXTEEN
Gage
Carina’s eyes go wide at my words. Watching her singeing Emery Stanner with electricity and rage has my cock as stiff as it can get without fucking hurting, but it’s playing second fiddle to her bare breasts with pert nipples standing on end in front of me. I’d meant it, I’m going to ruin her. If not her body, her soul. Just look at what I’d already gotten her to do. My Carina wouldn’t have done that without me in her ear. Or would she have?
I’m a firm believer in revenge, and she was working for the very man who’d hurt her for a reason. She had a plan up her sleeve, and I hadn’t had time to figure it out before she gave me his name and set me on this path that led us both here tonight.
Before I can even blink, she tugs her jeans down kicking her boots and pile of clothes to the side. Stepping back, I take her in. Her full figure entrances me momentarily, and I see her start to second guess herself as she covers her breasts.
Fuck the reasoning, I’m not a good man, and I can’t start pretending I am now. I’ll take what she’s offering. Something I’ve wanted for so long. But fuck if I don’t want it to be perfect, and this seems strange. To take her while the monster of her nightmares sits chained, and unconscious isn’t how I envisioned slipping inside her for the first time.
