“We’ll get her back.” And we would, I was going to make sure of it. I always knew there was a possibility of her being found. It’s why I have several different plans I’ve come up with.

“How do you intend to do that?” Enyo demands, spinning to face me, eyes narrowing to tiny little slits. “Her father and that brother of hers won’t leave this alone.”

“Neither will that club she’s associated with. Her best friend is with a member.” I looked into Rosemary. Did my homework to find out her weaknesses and her strengths. I know everything there is to know about the woman. Because of this, it’s why I know what I know, and I will use it to regain her. She won’t endanger those she cares for. “I will get her back. I can promise you that. I know your daughter and where to strike.”

“She is not my daughter,” Enyo snaps. “Do not call her that.” Her eyes grow tender as she moves toward me. “However, you’re my son, just as Cobra should have been. It’s why I love you so much.” I stand still as she tosses her hair over her shoulder, cups my cheek, and strokes her thumb over my bottom lip. “You always stick with me and give me everything I need.”

I don’t bother giving her an answer, I know what she wants. It’s what she always wants. To be worshipped. The center of attention. To have everyone give in to her demands and needs. For the longest time, my needs felt as if they were hers, but in the past months, they’ve shifted to someone else. Someone who Enyo despises for her own selfish reasons.

Taking her in my arms, I slam my mouth to hers and push all other thoughts for the time being away. For now, it’s time to please Enyo and give her what she needs. I scoop her in my arms, still kissing her, and carry her from the office to her room, where I lay her on the bed. A thought creeps in, and I change my plans. I will always keep my loyalty to Enyo, but it’s time for a change. Lifting, I distract her while reaching for a pillow. Fisting the fabric encasing the pillow, I bring it back while straddling Enyo’s small frame.I lower my head to her tits and listen to her moans right before I bring the pillow over her face, smothering her.

Enyo’s body struggles and her fingers claw at my wrists.

“I’m sorry, Enyo, but this is the way it must be. It’s time for a change in power,” I remark as she takes her last breath. Pulling the pillow away, I stare down into her sightless eyes as I reach with my free hand to close them. “I won’t let you down. I’ll see to your legacy. That it remains and grows. I will get her back, and together she and I will reign as king and queen. She’ll help me rule what you started.”

Hopping off the bed, I readjust my clothes and make my way to the doors, pulling out my cell. It’s time to put my plans into action. Enyo is right about there being a fight in a month’s time. One that Rosemary must fight in, and I will ensure that she’s there. That she wins the fight and gives herself to me. I’ll start by taking from her the one person she cherishes most.

CHAPTER14

ROSEMARY

I’m waiting impatiently for Kevlar to get back from what he’s doing to Rex. I don’t have to be in there to know he’s probably killing him. He had the same look in his eyes the last time I saw him. I wasn’t going to stand in the way of whatever he was going to do. Rex deserves what he gets. If he lives, it’ll only be because someone deemed he deserved it, but I highly doubt he’ll be given the chance to breathe again once they finish.

In fact, I know he won’t, and honestly, as bad as it sounds, as horrible as it makes me, I’m okay with that. Because of him, I was forced to kill innocent women. They were only doing what I was also doing in order to survive until the next day.

The sound of the door opening draws me from my thoughts, and I sit upright in the middle of the bed, wearing nothing more than one of Kevlar’s shirts. I thought about being completely naked, but I felt uncomfortable just waiting around with nothing on.

It didn’t feel right.

Putting one of Kevlar’s shirts on, yeah, that made things better for me. I brushed out my hair and left it long. In the past months, it’d gotten even longer, and I don’t know how to feel about the length. Usually, I’ve always kept it around my shoulder blades now it was about three inches farther down my back. I’m tempted to cut it, but I’m not sure. There’s a small part of me that likes the way Kevlar’s fingers tangled in the locks like he had when kissing me. Another part hates it because it feels weighted. Dominic had enjoyed touching it as well.

Kevlar steps into the room, eyes instantly coming to mine. He holds my gaze, not looking anywhere else, while closing and locking the door behind him.

“What are you doing, Tigress?” he finally asks, coming farther into the room, eyes dipping to take in my appearance.

“Waiting on you,” I answer softly, licking my lips and scanning over him, making sure he’s okay.The air grows tense, and I hope I’m not making the wrong choice right now in wanting him to have sex with me. “Are you okay?”My eyes drop to Kevlar’s fists, seeing the blood coating them, and I know without asking the answer to the unspoken question between us.

“I need a shower,” Kevlar grunts and makes his way to the ensuite bathroom, stripping out of his clothes as he goes. I follow him with my gaze but don’t move or speak. I simply watch him until he disappears into the shower before I hear him turn on the water.

A part of me wants to run and hide, but the other, the one that craves to be with Kevlar, it screams for me to join him. To soothe the demons in his eyes.

That’s the part of me that wins the turmoil battling inside me. Kevlar has been there for me in the days since they got me away from my hell. He killed someone for me, multiple someones, I’m sure of it, and now it’s my turn.

My turn to be there for him, to give him what he needs.

Scooting to the edge of the bed, I climb to my feet, suck in a breath, take the shirt off, and walk directly to the bathroom and through the open entranceway. I watch as Kevlar stands under the spray, head bent down, partially cocked slightly, eyes on me.

“You get in here with me, I’m fuckin’ you,” Kevlar warns.

“I know,” I whisper in answer, climbing in the shower and watching as he turns toward me.

“I won’t go easy on you, Rosemary,” he remarks, gripping my hips, his fingertips digging in. “I won’t be gentle with you as you deserve.”

“That’s okay, I don’t want gentle.” I reach up, sliding my hands across his chest, wrapping my arms around his neck, and press a kiss to first his neck, then his jaw, and finally brush them against his lips. “I want whatever you give me.”

“Fuck.”

Kevlar releases one hand from my waist, grips my hair, using his firm grip to hold me still, he slams his mouth over mine. Passion swirls around us. It’s heated. So hot, my body feels scorched by it, and if he doesn’t do something to put out the flames soon, I’ll burn alive from the inside out.
