“It’s yours.” She shudders as I lick her again. “Yours.”
“Tell me I can eat it whenever I want to.” I delve my tongue inside, hungering for her on a level I can’t even fathom.
“Whenever you want.” Her thighs shake. “Please, I can’t take any more. I can’t–”
“You can and you will.” I flick her clit with my tongue. “But I’ll let you recover for the moment. Just remember your promise. It’s mine whenever I feel like a snack.”
“Yes, I promise.”
“Good girl.” I pull my fingers from her and lick them clean.
She watches me, her lips parted, eyes heavy-lidded. I rise, then lift her to the center of the bed and cover her with the blanket.
“Get some sleep.” I stare down at her, my hunger not abated in the least. “I have a feeling I’ll need an early breakfast.”

CADENCE
I’m trapped. There’s no way out and no one to help me. I try to scream but it’s useless. Panic begins to rise, breathing becoming harder by the second. I open my mouth, trying to scream but nothing.
The familiar throb in my skull starts to pulse. It’s always darkness. There is never any light. Only pain and the loud sounds I can never make out no matter how hard I try. It’s a dream, and I know that, but still each time it happens, fear grips me. I fight to open my eyes to break away from it, but I can’t.
“Cadence!” I stiffen at the sound of someone shouting my name. My eyes finally open, the light flooding in causing them to close tightly again. Two hands grip my shoulders.
“Stop! Let me go.” I try to break free. My fear is only growing. But this time it feels different.
“No.” The authority in that one word has me dropping my arm to my side that seconds ago had been flying around trying to hit anything I could. “I’m not letting go.” His hold only tightens on me. “Be a good girl and open your eyes for me.”
They fly open to see Vargas. A dark expression covers his face. A huge sense of relief fills me. I want to fling myself at him, but I don’t. Instead, I grip the sheets tightly, needing something to hold on to.
“I’m sorry.” I lick my dry lips. “Did I wake you up? Crap.” I drop my eyes, not wanting to stare into his eyes that appear darker than I remembered them.
“You didn’t wake me up, but you scared the fucking hell out of me.”
“Sorry,” I say again.
“Stop apologizing,” he orders, grabbing me from my bed.
“What are you doing?”
“What I should have done sooner.” He heads for the door. “Sassy.” Vargas calls for her.
I peek over his shoulder to see her following behind us. I lay my head on his shoulder, realizing he doesn’t have a shirt on. My cheek only meets warm skin. I take a deep breath, his scent enveloping me into calmness.
Vargas heads into his bedroom, putting me down on his giant bed. I can’t help but gawk at his broad chest. The man is sculpted like a fine piece of art.
“Cadence.” Vargas’s hand grips my chin to make me look up at him. He looms over me, standing between my legs. “What was that?”
Crap. I should’ve known better than to think he would let me get away without an explanation.
“Just a nightmare.” I try to shrug it off, but he doesn’t let go of my chin. My dad has always made them out to be a big deal. He gets worked up when I have them. It’s made me self-conscious.
“Tell me,” he orders once again. I’m finding that Vargas enjoys bossing me around.Ishouldn’t enjoy the small thrill I get when he does it. I know it’s because of the rough firmness of his tone that’s part of it. He’s so commanding.
“It really is just a nightmare.” I reach up and touch the scar hidden by my hair. It always throbs after I have one. I equate it to the scar that Voldemort gave Harry Potter. I suppose I do have one spell, or maybe it’s a curse. The jury is still out on that one.
“Does it hurt?” He releases my chin only to push my hair back and inspect it more closely.
