“The blackout?” I ask, and he chuckles. “It was all too easy.”

I feel the air shift beside me, and glance up to see Zoe standing beside me. Her brows are tugging inward as anger contorts her expression, and I do a quick check of her hands to make sure she’s not holding a gun.

I mean, I’d get it if she just wanted to shoot him dead. She has every right, and frankly, I think that’s what Gunner wants. But the club needs this execution. Everyone needs this closure and we all need reminding of what happens to members that betray us.

“Did you watch Gray fuck me while you were hiding under our noses?” Zoe asks Gunner, her tone sharp and hateful.

Gunner’s eyes widen and his nostrils flare, which just eggs Zoe on.

“You did, didn’t you?” she scoffs. “Did you see how good he made me feel? How he owned my body. Every single fucking inch.”

“Shut up.” Gunner hisses through gritted teeth, and I fucking grin, crossing my arms over my chest as I watch his inner torment come to life.

“Did you see how easily his dick slid into me? No fucking lube needed. I was so wet for him. Unlikewith you.” She sneers that last sentence. “You had to slick your own rotten dick because you never once made me wet. Never once did I want you. Never once did you make me feel good.”

Gunner’s lip twitches at each word Zoe throws at him, but then he chuckles.

“Oh, I did fucking make you feel good, Sugar. Don’t you remember?”

I stiffen at the same time Zoe snarls and I dart my eyes to her.

What the fuck is he talking about?

“Uh-oh, Sugar. Haven’t you told him? The way you writhed under me while you slept, your legs spread wide as I tongue fucked you. Do you remember how hard you came on my tongue?”

“Shut the fuck up!” Zoe screams, her face red with fury as she balls her fists like she’d love nothing more than to punch the fuck out of him.

“You always did like it when Gray came to you in your sleep. Naturally, your body still thought it was him, but it was my tongue that licked and drank you those nights when you first came to the Reapers. Your cum tastes so sweet, Sugar.”

My whole fucking body is vibrating with rage as his words sink in.

He assaulted her in her sleep, and she had no fucking idea. Her subconscious would have thought it was me because I’d done that to her so many times, and she’d fucking loved it.

Now he’s taken that from us too.

I’m about to leap forward, ready to strangle the life from him, but Zoe beats me to it, producing a knife that I didn’t see her holding before, and she plunges it into his shoulder with a scream.

“I HATE YOU!” she screams, stabbing him again. “I FUCKING HATE YOU!”

I’m trying to decide if I should stop her or just let her have at him, but I don’t need to do anything because Zoe stops, her lungs heaving audibly as she forces herself to stay in control.

“Stretch!” she barks, and my club brother hurries forward, eyes pinned to her as he awaits her words. “Tie his hands behind his back and get him in a chair.”

I fucking smirk.

She really is a ruler.

Their queen, but always my princess.

Stretch follows Zoe’s orders as she stands with the knife still gripped in her hand at her side, Gunner’s blood dripping to the floor.

“Zo,” I rasp, stepping in front of her so she’ll stop looking at Gunner, and I cup her cheek.

“I’m okay,” she whispers, answering a question I never asked, her eyes glassy as they connect with mine.

“You’re the strongest person I’ve ever met.” I admit, loving the way she tilts her head into my palm, accepting the small bit of comfort I’m offering.

“I’m only strong because of the support you give me in the moments when I’m not.”
