“It was the easiest thing I ever did.” A sparkle glinted in his eyes. “And pumpkin?”

“Yeah?”

He placed a bony finger beneath my chin, lifting it. “I’ll see you soon.” He pressed a tender kiss to my forehead before we said goodbye.

After I hugged Mom, she climbed into their SUV and drove away. I rubbed my arms against the loneliness that crept in as I watched the car disappear down the street.

My slip-on Uggs scuffed the sidewalk as I entered my house with my stomach in my throat.

I locked the door, but before I set the alarm, black boots caught my attention. Ones I was beginning to know all too well.

“You’re here in the daytime,” I said to Death.

“I wanted to see your father off. He will come home a new man, Ella. I promise.”

I strolled past him and to my kitchen, where I located my coffee again. Hopping onto the counter, I blew on the hot liquid before I took a sip.

“Thank you for doing this. For helping Dad.”

Death approached me, then took my cup from my hands and set it down. He forced my legs apart and tugged me to the edge. I waited for him to speak, but instead his mouth crashed down on mine. A bolt of heat punched through me, and I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer.

His kiss was so intense I lost the ability to form a coherent thought. With quick movements, Death pushed me backward, yanked my yoga pants off, and tossed them on the floor. He dropped to his knees and placed his mouth on my center before I could comprehend what was happening.

Sparks skittered down my spine as his tongue darted over my clit. My eyes rolled back into my head as I surrendered to the pleasure. Every nerve in my body screamed and trembled at his touch, a blissful heat radiating from where he licked my sensitive skin. I moaned deep in my throat, my back arching as I melted beneath him.

He explored my body with the reverence of a worshipper, uncovering hidden pleasures and sending shocks of desire through me with each caress. Death pushed two fingers inside me, and I sighed.

I panted as his hands gripped my thighs hard enough to leave bruises.

His mouth left my pussy as he stood and quickly undid his jeans. My juices glistened on his lips as he lined himself up at my center. Instead of slamming into me, he slowly pushed past my entrance. I gasped as I took every inch of him.

“That’s it, little lamb. Take all of my cock.” He trailed kisses along my jaw, and I tilted my head, giving him access.

I quivered as a wave of pure pleasure washed over me. His feral growl echoed through the room, sending shocks of electricity ricocheting throughout my body. His need was palpable, radiating from his body like wildfire, igniting my desire. A moan escaped me as he found a rhythm. His thrusts grew faster and deeper as I moved against him, demanding more. Every ruthless snap of his hips sent me spiraling into an oblivion that I hadn’t ever experienced before.

I was so wet that my juices slicked my thighs, and I couldn’t get enough of the man I was terrified of.

Death slipped his hand between us, massaging my clit with the right amount of pressure. “Oh shit.”

Gazing at me with a combination of hunger and danger in his eyes, he pumped into me until my pussy spasmed around his shaft. I ground my hips against him as he threw his head back and came while I drained every delicious drop from his cock, my body soaking it up.

Then, he released a possessive growl like I hadn’t ever heard before—one filled with pleasure and defeat.

I blinked several times, clearing the haze from my vision as I focused on him. What had just happened between us?

Chapter 30

Ella

The man I’d just had sex with wasn’t the same one I ran from the previous evening. I couldn’t deny it. There was a shift between us—a tenderness, however slight, that had awoken something in me. Even though I knew he was complicated and dangerous, I couldn’t ignore the small gesture of his gentle kiss. My monster had a side to him he hadn’t allowed me to see until after he brought me home and bathed me last night.

His cock began to soften, and he pulled out. A sudden emptiness consumed me, and I struggled against it.

The sound of my phone buzzing interrupted the moment. Death left me on the counter and disappeared into my bedroom. Seconds later, he leaned against my door frame, wearing a menacing glare.

Without a word, he slipped out the back door and left. A chill gripped my bones—something was off, but I had no idea what.

Sighing, I struggled with the idea of being alone and curling up with a good book or seeing if Cami could hang out for a few hours before her night shift. I wanted the scoop on her and this cop. If I was going to be sneaking around with a serial killer and protecting Sebastian, I had to know exactly where and who our enemies were.
