“Knew what?” Tears spilled down my face.

“That we were destined to destroy one another.”

Fuck.

Fuck.

Fuuuuuuuck.

My mind screamed.

My fingers tightened their grip. The pulse beneath my fingertips slowed to a near stop.

Rage swirled like inky blackness.

Like a demon threatening to possess my soul.

And then, light broke through with a gentle, tender touch on my forearm.

The calm, steady voice of a siren sang through the darkness. “You’re wrong.” Then she was behind me, straddling the limp, lifeless body we both sat on. Her hands circled my waist. Her breath ghosted my ear. “We’re destined to save each other.”

Maybe it was suicide.

But I had to try.

The moment the words left my lips, Roman let go of Jared’s throat. He turned and threw me to the ground, pinning my hands above my head. He looked like a savage as blood trickled over his lip from where Jared had busted his nose.

I saw the moment his control snapped.

His eyes narrowed. His features darkened with feral, agonizing need. His body coiled with fierce power. Every muscle tensed against me. His cock was like granite, hard and heavy against my stomach. Every one of my nerves sprang to life. My body vibrated. My core ached to be filled.

“Isthissalvation?” he growled.

‘Yes,’ my body screamed.

He pressed into me, agony flashing in his eyes. Like his body did things his mind begged him not to. “Because it feels like Hell to me.” His nostrils flared and his fingers dug deeper into my wrists.

“Stop fighting it.” I lifted my hips off the ground, rocking against him. My body had never been so desperate. “Stop fightingme.”

“Do you see now? Do you seewhyI’m fighting it? I just killed a man. This was never supposed to happen.Wewere never supposed to happen.”

“That’s a lie and you know it.”

His tortured eyes met mine. The look he gave me ripped the air from my lungs. His gaze probed deeper than my skin, seeing all the way inside me, snatching me from my hiding place. Silence plowed into us, nearly shredding us to pieces. Air clogged in my throat.

Talk to me.

“Did you know he would be waiting here?” Roman asked, finally.

“No.”
