I shake my head. “That's the main bedroom. That's for one of you guys. I'll sleep in a guest room or whatever. I don't need anything so big.”
He rests his hands on the edge of the counter, gripping it until his knuckles turn white. “I said that's your room. You're the princess here. You get the main bedroom. Quit arguing with me about everything.”
I roll my eyes, but a smile tugs at the corner of my lips. Like I said, totally insufferable. “Okay. Well, thanks.”
“You’re welcome, Little one. Do you want me to tuck you in?”
I stop mid-step and turn around. Do Iwanthim to tuck me in? The first thing that comes to mind is, hell yes, I do. I want him to put me to bed, strip off my clothes, and fuck me every which way till Sunday. The other part of me wants to punch him in the face for thinking I need to be tucked in.
“No, I'm good. I can see myself to bed. Nice try, though.”
He shakes his head, looking completely exasperated. “Have it your way, lass. Sweet dreams.”
His words settle in my chest. The last thing I'll be having are sweet dreams. My sleep has been plagued by nightmares.
Remembering he had a cell phone for me, I run back to the kitchen. “Can I have that phone you said that I could talk to Cali on?”
He opens a drawer and pulls out a brand new iPhone. “Her number is programmed in there. All of ours are too. Just in case you need to reach us.”
“Thanks. Night.”
“Night, Little girl.”
I go to the main bedroom and text Cali.
Scarlet: Hey, are you guys okay?
She immediately responds.
Cali: Yes, are you? I miss you already.
Scarlet: I miss you too. Surprisingly, Killian's being nice, and I haven't killed him yet. But I'm going to. He's a dead man.
Cali: Are you sure you don't want to kiss him?
I scrunch my face. Ugh, I wish I could say I didn’t want to kiss him, but that would be a lie. He probably tastes as good as he smells. Not that I’ll admit it to my sister.
Scarlet: Don't be silly. He's a pain in the ass. All of them are.
Cali: Yes, they are. They're also pretty wonderful.
As much as I hate to admit it, they do seem pretty wonderful. They're so different than Ivan and his guys. They were horrid. Killian and his men are nothing like that. They're warm and funny and loving and thoughtful. It’s very irritating to be wrong about them.
Cali: I have to go to bed, Scar. I love you. Text me tomorrow.
Scarlet: Love you too, sis.

The smellof vodka hangs in the air like poison as I claw at the rough material covering my face.
“Please let me go!”
Laughter fills the space. Tears drip down my cheeks. My hands are bound together so tightly, I can’t feel my fingers.
“You should have known better than to fuck with me, bitch.”
His voice causes goosebumps to rise over my sweat slicked skin and as his hands start roaming my body, I try to wiggle away, only to let out a scream as he grabs my breast painfully hard.
