Sucking in a breath, I slowly release it, giving her a nod. Her smile widens before she drifts to the staircase. She slowly descends, a vision as her hand glides over the wooden banister, her heels clicking against the stairs.
Colin jerks his head toward the sound, his eyes widening when he sees her. He was unconscious when we arrived, and I asked Everleigh to stand on the balcony and watch before I brought him back to consciousness.
Everleigh steps into the room, owning it like the goddess she is. The air shifts, swirling around her with sinister energy. Her brown curls bounce as she strolls across the room, her shoulders back, her steps sure and confident as she glides across the room.
She stops beside me, her gaze drinking me in with a smile before she turns and faces Colin, her smile fading, disgust contorting her features.
Pulling her knife from the sheath on her hip, she holds it up, the blade glinting beneath the light.
“Let’s have some fun now, shall we, Colin?” she says, brow arched, a malicious smile pulling her lips up.
My gaze locks with Bryan and we smile.
Eve is a fucking force to be reckoned with.
Colin is about to get the full experience of her wrath.
It’s showtime.

MybodyhumsasI stand beside William, vibrating with an intense desire to torture and kill Colin. But my desire wars with a gripping need to strip off William’s clothing and give myself over to the haze inducing lust that courses through my body.
I sneer at Colin’s injured body, bound to the chair.
William sure did a number on him.
My head turns, my eyes lifting to William, who stares at me with lust-filled eyes. Eve turns him on just as much as Everleigh does.
He’s not afraid, nor is he disgusted by Eve.
Instead, he reveres her as much as he does me.
It’s a heady feeling, to be loved and accepted so completely.
Forged from pain and trauma, we don’t operate on the same level as most do. We aren’t afraid to step into the darkness. We seek it out in moments such as this, craving it so that it can provide us what we need.
Vengeance.
Closure.
Healing.
I’m never alone in my darkness, for it reaches out, seeking William. When my darkness beckons him, he answers, providing everything I need.
And more.
Right now, the monster inside me seeks his darkness, drawing from his strength. Gifting me more courage and power to take back what was stolen from me.
Mylight.
While Colin failed to rape me because the man standing beside me intervened and saved me, he was successful in stealing other things from me.
My sense of safety and security.
The loss of intimacy with the man I love.
