By the time I was done, I couldn’t walk.

I thought about sleeping on the hard mats in the gym…but the moment I did, my body ached with the kind of fever I couldn’t take. Her alone…in our bed…I gave a sigh and made for the door, killing the music as I made my way through the empty house.

It was empty…cold, hollow. Devoid of her life.

She was nothing more than a shape in the bed when I stepped in. I headed to the bathroom, closing the door before the light came on. I showered, scrubbed the sweat from my body, and stepped out, wrapping a towel around my waist before lifting my gaze to the mirror.

I was hard, ripped. I spread my hand over my pecs, feeling the muscles tighten before I tugged the towel and looked down, remembering her bent over here two hours ago. Legs spread, her pussy against my lips. My cock hardened with the memory. But I didn’t reach down, I didn’t relive the fantasy. I walked into the bedroom as the light shone and climbed into the bed next to her.

The sounds of rhythmic breaths beside me were confusingly comforting. She was asleep. I knew that. I knew her sounds, knew her whimpers, knew her tortured moans.

“Fin…no,”she murmured beside me.“Please.”

I scowled in the dark, sliding my hand up and under my head. I lay like that, listening to her nightmares…ones which were always about me. I closed my eyes, willing sleep to come, but as always it stayed away, until that hollow ache inside me became the emptiness I so desperately needed.

Maybe this was rest for me.

A cruel, sadistic slumber.

It’s what I deserve…

Thud.

The sound woke me. I cracked open my eyes, coming back to reality with a heavy thud of my heart. I jerked my gaze beside me, finding the bed empty. “Anna?”

I shoved up, climbed out of bed, the scent of her perfume heavy in the air.“Anna?”

The faint sound of her car came from outside. I lunged, ignoring the fact I was naked, and charged for the front door. By the time I yanked open the door and raced outside, she was already turning onto the road with the security gate closing behind her.“Shit!”I roared, turning back inside.

Panic moved through me. She knew…she fucking knew.I moved back to the bedroom, snatching my phone from the charger beside the bed, and dialed her number.

“Hi, you’ve reached Anna—”

I stabbed the button, ending the call, and redialed.

“Hi, you’ve reach—”

“Answer the goddamn phone!” I stabbed the button once more, desperation driving through me.

She answered. “What, Fin?”

“What the fuck are you doing?” Panic punched through me as reality hit home.

She never left…not since her father went into hiding and my own exerted his control. She was to be guarded twenty-four-seven. Watched by either the guards at the facility, or by me.

“Driving,” she answered, coldly. “That’s what I’m doing.”

I raked my fingers through my hair. “You know what I mean.Youknow what he’ll do—”

“I don’t care.”

I stiffened, my stomach dropping. “What do you mean, you don’t care?”

“I’m tired, Fin. Tired of this, tired of…”

You.She didn’t have to say it. But she was tired of me, tired of my name, tired of the fucking terror I bought into her life.
