“I thought I didn’t have a choice.”

“You know you always have a choice with me.”

He’s the only one that’s ever given me one. That’s why I’m currently up here and not cutting random wires at the back hatch.

“Where are we going?” I repeat.

Reece tries to hide another smirk. “Somewhere not quite fox but a lot less hollow.”

“To another one of your secret addresses?”

“No, I rented a cabin.”

Nodding, I watch through the windshield as the trees break ahead just enough to show a stream. The light from the waxing gibbous bounces off the water’s surface, highlighting the rushing current.

“What do you think about that?”

Lost, I shake my head. “About what?”

“Staying in a cabin.”

“I think…it’ll be more secluded than the place I just left.” When he doesn’t respond, I add, “Depending on how close the neighbors are, nobody should be able to hear your screams if I need to bleed you out.”

Reece laughs. “This weekend should be fun.”

I concentrate on that streak of rousing moonlight again, my eyebrows scrunching as my thoughts turn inward.

“I don’t think I know how to have fun. I don’t joke. I don’t smile, especially not on command. I don’t show gratitude properly. I don’t make claims on anybody. I lie, cheat, steal, and kill. I’m bitchy, I’m broken, and no, actually, I don’t…I don’t have the first fucking clue how to have fun because I don’t know what fun is.”

I blink rapidly like I’m coming out of a trance. What was that? Some sort of nature witchcraft? I gazed at a shimmering stream once and now I know what’s wrong with me? Without the constant buzz of other people, you’re forced to focus on yourself, but I don’t even…like…myself… Do I?

I don’t.

“I’ll teach you.”

Reece’s voice startles me.

“We know what we learn, so I’ll teach you how to have fun, then you will know. The rest of it…” He continues, “That’s what makes youyou. Haven’t you noticed I prefer the taste of you when you’renotfreshly cleaned?” He glances at me, but thankfully doesn’t wait for my response. “That’s because I don’t want the watered-down version of you, Lex. I want every fucking part of you, the best, the worst, all of it. I wantyou.”

“You’re—”

“You don’t have to hurt either of us right now. You can let me make you feel good and you can let yourself feel good.”

“That’s…” I sigh. He’s right. My initial reaction was, just like it usually is with him, to act out and say something nasty. In order to give this a real try, I have to actuallytry. That’s easily the nicest thing anyone’s ever said to me, but the idea of telling Reece that makes me feel like a little girl again. Not in a nostalgic way, or a giddy way, but in a vulnerable way that churns my stomach.

I take in his position. “Remember how you showed gratitude?”

Reece’s smile couldn’t be any bigger as he says, “Yeah.”

“Pull out your cock.”

“Now? I’m fucking driving.”

This is far more private than some of the other places I’ve had him pull his cock out.

“Right now.” I climb to my knees and angle my top half across the center console.

He doesn’t so much as unzip his pants, so I do it for him, freeing his gorgeous cock. Even limp it looks good. I scoop out his balls, too, because those are a package deal.
