She stilled, her grip easing. “Then we make it so I can.”
I lifted my gaze to hers.
She licked her lips and my rock hard cock spasmed. “If he wants to fuck, then we make it on my terms,” she murmured. “Only you won’t like it.”
Relief hit me hard. It was only a matter of time before he clawed his way out once more. The bruises and marks on her skin from this morning were burned into my mind. I couldn’t fight him. Not the way I was, at least. Next time she might not escape so easily.

London
Hale is dead?
HALE IS DEAD?
I lifted my head from the constant barrage of messages on my phone. Curiosity gripped me as I opened Facebook and searched his name…
Bad move.
He was everywhere. Images of the police dragging his waterlogged body from the river was the first thing you saw. He was certainly working hard to make it well known he was no longer a threat.

Rossi: We need to meet.
“What the fuck now?” I muttered and typed out exactly that.
Rossi: We have a problem.
When didn’t we? I glanced at the time and winced. I didn’t have time for this. Not now at least. I typed…
Give me an hour.
It was barely a second later.
Rossi: I’ll be at our warehouse.
I knew the one. A refrigerator trucking company on the outskirts of the city. What was so goddamn important? Whatever it was, it was big. But right now, I had other very dead matters to attend to. I started the brand new car and put it into gear, backing out of the driveway.
