“There were two of them last night,” he said to me, then scanned the area behind me like he was looking for Gage.

“The other one is in her bed. You just missed her screaming his name over and over,” Levi drawled.

“Levi!” My face was bright red.

He shrugged. “Dude thought we were gonna hurt you last night. Pushed Gage too far. I’m just reassuring your friend that you are being taken care of properly.”

I winced at his choice of words, then turned back to Wilder. He looked angry. I’d never seen Wilder angry. It was shocking.

“I’m sorry about him.”

Wilder narrowed his eyes. “You’re sleeping with that psychopath? Did he tell you that he put a gun to my head?”

Levi made a tsking sound from behind me, but I didn’t look back at him this time. I was trying to figure out what I had just heard.

“A gun?” I asked, not sure I had heard him right.

Wilder nodded.

A hand was on my waist then, and I tensed. I hadn’t heard Gage walking due to the carpet cushioning his steps. He pressed a kiss to the side of my face.

Wilder’s eyes widened, as if he was scared. Had Gage seriously held a gun at him?

“You saw her. You can leave now.” Gage’s tone wasn’t normal. It had a darkness to it.

Wilder looked from him to me.

“You got two seconds,” Gage said coldly.

“I’m fine. Thanks for checking on me,” I told him, then went to close the door quickly before this escalated.

Levi started to clap. “That was handled like a fucking pro. Damn, if you’d handled shit like that five years ago, things might have gone down differently.”

“Gage, did you point a gun at Wilder?” I asked in disbelief.

Gage shook his head. “No, baby, I pressed it against his forehead. I didn’t point it,” he replied as if this were a normal conversation.

“You did what?” I asked.

He smirked. “After I licked your pussy and had you come all over my face, I warned you about this. Me.”

I shook my head. “No, you didnotmention anything about guns.”

He ran his knuckle down my face as he tilted his head slightly. “The monster that consumes me. Takes over. The insane jealousy. I explained this to you. That wasn’t a fairy tale, baby.”

I ran my hand through my hair. “Being jealous is one thing. But that … what if you’d accidentally killed him?”

He chuckled. “I’ve never accidentally killed anyone. Everyone I’ve killed, I meant to pull the trigger.”

I needed to sit down. I felt light-headed.

“She’s gone pale,” Levi said.

Gage wrapped his arms around me and brushed his lips against my ear. “I warned you many times that I was dangerous. Your uncle warned you.” He licked along the outside of my ear. “I’m cruel, unstable, deadly.” He ran the tip of his nose along my neck and brushed my hair back. “And I’m fucking obsessed with you.” He pressed a kiss on my neck. His warm breath caressing my skin. “For you, I’m willing to try and be better. I didn’t kill him last night. The son of a bitch wants what’s mine, and I let him live. You’d be sad if he was dead. And I don’t want you sad.” His hands grabbed my butt, and he jerked me against him. “I want you happy, satisfied, and taken care of, but only by me.”

My heart was racing as I placed my palms flat against his chest and tried to push him back. I needed air.

What he’d just said …
