“So, was he a part of that hacking group?”
“No,” I answer simply. “That’s an all-women group. We have rules, too, you know.
Look, they just help me hack. They don’t ask any questions, and they don’t even know who I was hacking. Can we leave them out of this?”
He understands the code and nods.
“Last question - why did you leave the data drives behind? Why were you ... loyal to me?” he asks.
This was the question I was dreading most.
For this one, I choose to go with complete honesty. I take a deep breath and meet his gaze.
“I left the data drives behind because I couldn’t betray you like that. You may be a dangerous Don, but fou always treated me with unbelievable kindness. From the beginning, I thought ... that there was more to you than you
let on, and I just couldn’t do what I was about to do to ...you.”
“So you found yourself at odds between your loyalty towards me and your need for survival.”
I sighed heavily, exhausted from all this lying but knowing it was necessary for my safety. “Yes,” I say eventually,” that’s exactly how it felt.”
“And you chose loyalty to me?” he asks, his fingers lingering over my arm as his eyes reach mine.
I nod, feeling fear and excitement as his fingers gently trail up my arm. “I did. I know it was foolish, but I couldn’t betray you.”
“You chose to remain in debt... to die for me?” he asks, his voice barely a whisper.
I want to deny it, but how can I when the facts speak otherwise. I feel a shiver go down my spine and want him, need him to touch me.
The next thing I know, his lips are pressed against mine, his hand tightening around my waist as he pulls me close.
I gasped against his mouth, surprised by the sudden intensity of the kiss. One of his hands slides up to cup my neck, tilting my head back as he deepens the kiss.
I feel dizzy with desire as our tongues tangle together, my fingers gripping the fabric of his shirt tightly.
I can feel the hardness of his body pressed against mine, and I moan as he nips at my bottom lip.
Suddenly, he pulls back, his eyes dark with desire.
“You make me crazy,” he whispers before crushing his lips down on mine again.
This time, he picks me up, his arms wrapping around my waist as he carries me to the bedroom.
“Maybe that’s because I am crazy,” I whisper back.
Chapter 9
FELIX
AsIcarryherto my room, I catch a whiff of that lavender again. I don’t know if she guessed that I purposely turned everything in the bathroom into lavender.
The soap, the handwash, the lotion.
I can’t wait to take her dress off and taste it all over her. I know she’s used it.
I open the door and kick it shut behind me. I want to throw her on the bed, but I remember the bruises and instead lay her down on it.
Her arms reach for my neck, and she pulls me closer to herself, kissing me tenderly. I turn it passionate.
