This was fromyearsof brutal treatment.

“We did a lot of training, Dante,” she said through her soft cries of need. The anger that burned through my chest couldn’t be satiated, and I knew it wouldn’t be—not until I finally got my hands on that bastard.

“Tell me what caused the scars.”

“I don’t know,” she said, shaking her head. “I have them everywhere from training with any weapon he could use. Broken glass. Knives. Shards of metal. I got good at deflecting, so the scars became thinner and less gruesome over time.”

“Which ones can you tell me about?”

She shook her head and leaned back into the hand that held her pussy, stroking it in a way that was slowly building the reaction within her. “It’s not that easy. I don’t remember the small ones.”

“I need to know everything.”

“You don’tneedto know. You want to know.” A small cry left her lips as I curled my finger inside of her, working her with my thumb. I’d bring her right to the edge that she seemed to love balancing on. “Dante.”

“Let me be the one to make this right,” I demanded.

She nodded quickly, rocking back and forth as if to deepen the plunges of my fingers. I inserted another, and she gasped, leaning forward and biting her arm to keep quiet.

“God, you’re fucking perfect,” I told her.

I was being entirely honest. The curves of her bare body beneath me sucked me in. She was everything I could have asked for in a woman and more. And the thought of her taking down a grown man on the mat without even breaking a sweat…

Fuck.

I steeled myself, resolving that I wouldn’t fuck her again. Not yet. Not until I got this information and made a much-needed call.

“He locked me in a room a few times, bound from head to toe. I had to escape and get out with no food or water,” she said as I withheld the assault of my fingers. “It was ropes a few times, zip ties a few other times. I had to dislocate my thumb to escape the metal handcuffs, and it took over two days.” She paused as I continued with the motion of my fingers, bringing her right to that precipice where her walls trembled around my fingers before pausing. “He’d send people in to torture me every three hours to give me motivation to continue. Usually, they went easy on me. I knew the guy who did it twice, and he didn’t do whatValentino asked of him. He just told me to scream every few seconds. Valentino found out and killed him after the second time.”

I ground my teeth together.

“I think he knew the kind of man Cameron was, and I genuinely believe it was a test. I think that’s why he never killed him. He just let him off the mob’s payroll.”

That was enough. I’d learn more later, but for now, the information was enough to solidify my resolve to find and torture Valentino. I plunged my fingers deeper into her and worked her with rough motions until she finally came undone, crying for me and pressing her body back into mine as hard as she could.

I tampered every ounce of her orgasm as it came and slowly faded, leaving her a shuttering mess.

“Nobody will ever touch you or hurt you again,” I swore.

“You’ve said that before,” she teased, pushing onto her hands and knees and turning to face me. She kicked her feet the rest of the way from her pants and sat bare before me. “Even you can’t protect me from the past.”

“I can make sure it never happens again.”

I tossed her clothes to her and guided her into the gym’s restroom before quickly dressing myself and pulling out my phone. I didn’t hit the dial button until she had the shower running.

“Marquis,” I said through the line as soon as he answered. “We have a new priority, and I expect everyone to be on this new threat.”

“Do you want me to pull from other projects?”

“I want every available person to look out for Valentino Accardi,” I told him. “I don’t give a fuck who you pull, but I expect him to be located and captured within the week. I’m done tempering his fucking threats.”

He made a noise of approval. “I’m on it, boss. You want him alive?”

“Alive but bloodied up preferably.” I paused. “Sweeten the pot. Ten thousand dollars to whoever brings him in.”

Marquis confirmed a few more details before ending the call, guaranteeing he’d delegate as many available men to the task as possible. But with the price tag on his head, I knew it was only a matter of days before he was brought to my doorstep.

This would go no further.
