His words puncture a hole in my heart. My mom told me he lost someone important to him, but I didn’t ask questions. I didn’t want to hear it, afraid I’d feel sympathy toward him.
“Were the two of you close?”
“Yes. I’ll tell you about her sometime. But right now…” He rolls onto his side, pulling me closer and grinding his hard cock against me. “It’s really hard for me to think.”
A wide grin spreads across my face. I feel powerful. Sexy. Considering the horrific circumstances we find ourselves in, that really speaks to how deeply Chase affects me.
I whimper, pressing my hips against his. “God, it feels amazing.”
He bites his lip, his brows furrowed as he moves against me. “Fuck, Kenz. You feel incredible.”
A smile tugs at my lips. “Shut up and kiss me.”
He laughs, his mouth pressing against mine. Like gasoline being dumped on a fire, we explode, our lips hungry, our hips moving together in perfect harmony, lost in our own world.
“Trying to take my virgin from me, huh?” Orpheus’s frigid tone extinguishes our fire.
Chase and I pull apart, unmoving. I close my eyes, trembling as worse-case scenarios race through my head.He’s gonna kill Chase and then punish me.
My nails curl into the fabric of Chase’s T-shirt. He flashes me a brave smile, but his eyes are hollow and barren.
I know Chase won’t go down without fighting like hell.But will it be enough to save either of us?

CHASE
Fuck. I’m going to die.
Terror swims through my veins, making my heartbeat thrash inside my ears. My jaw clenches as I look up at the fucking devil himself, staring into his soulless eyes.
My hard-on vanishes the second I look down at Mackenzie. Her fingernails are curled into my shirt, nails digging through the fabric and cutting my skin as she trembles from fear. Wide, panicked eyes lock on mine, her lips quivering.
“How the hell do you know she’s a virgin,” I snap.
Orpheus chuckles. “My doctor and Rosario checked her out, ensuring she is.” His onyx eyes flash to hers. “I need the blood of a virgin on my dick for the ritual.”
Dread fills my gut from his horrific words, knowing he’ll do his damnedest to break her and permanently extinguish her light.
“We’ll discuss it more later. For now, Rosario is bringing you food. I was going to be kind and untie your wrists so you could eat, but since you want to take what’smine, it’s best to keep you restrained.”
“Mackenzie isn’t yours,” I growl, rage thrashing through me.
Orpheus laughs, his lips curving into an eerie smile. “You’re right. She’s not mine. She’s just as disposable as you are once the ritual has been completed.” His eyes harden as he stares me down. “Until then, her virginity ismine.” He arches a brow. “As is anything else I need from her.”
“It doesn’t belong to you. You have no fucking right to take something she’s unwilling to give you.” My rage turns the attic red. All logic leaves me as I jump to my feet, my bound hands shoving his chest. It happens so quickly, his painted face registers surprise as he stumbles back. I follow, lifting my foot and kicking his shin.
But I’m fighting a powerful demon. A formidable opponent who blocks my next kick, then smashes his fist against my nose, sending me flying back against the wall. I nearly take out Mackenzie, who has gotten to her feet sometime during my attack.
Horrified, her gaze moves from Orpheus to me before she runs over, squatting down beside me. “Holy shit, Chase.” Wide panicked irises examine me before she glares at Orpheus. “You sick fuck. Beating on someone after you’ve drugged them.”
With three large strides Orpheus is in front of us. He grabs Mackenzie by the hair, yanking her to her feet. “Watch your mouth girl.” She tries to kick him, but he tosses her onto the hardwood floor before she has the chance.
Despite the pain I’m feeling and my rapidly swelling eye, I jump to my feet, kicking him in the balls with all the strength I can muster. He falls to the floor, doubling over and holding his junk.
Reaching down, I pull Mackenzie to her feet, guiding her away from him.
Rosario appears with a tray of sandwiches, water, and fruit. Her wide eyes take in the scene, freezing when she sees Orpheus on his knees. “Are you okay?” Her voice is barely audible behind her veil. Her wide eyes lock on mine before she looks away.
