My head lowered, but I didn’t drop my act. “That’s between Alec and me.”
A furious glare was turned on me. “Lilian, answer my question.”
“It was consensual. I didn’t choke him because I was trying to seriously hurt him.” My own anger was pushing in and I tried to stay calm. For some reason, it wasn’t easing like it usually did. Tonight was just too much. “Are we done? I really don’t think this part of my life is any of your business. I’m a grown woman, whether you want to see that or not. And this,” I said, pointing toward Alec, “is only the beginning. I’m finished with all of the security I’m stuck with. Guards,” my head shook, “no more. Not a single one. I want my freedom.”
Shattering…fuck, it was happening. I was breaking. That word…
“Do you hear me!” I yelled. “I’m done being a slave. I want freedom! I want to be on my own. No more,” I said, slicing through the air. “I’m finished. Brace and Terrance can take me home, but then they leave. If they don’t, I will, and if you try to stop me, I’ll never forgive you. Never!” I yelled again.
The hurt on Slade face disappeared as fast as it had appeared. “This is all my fault.” The way he ran his hand over his mouth had me fighting not to explode.
“This is my fault. Not yours. Do you hear me, Brother? I did this. All of it. And you know what? I’m the only one who can fix it. Not you. Not your detail. Me. Now, back the fuck off and let me figure out my life for myself.”
I didn’t wait for his reaction. I wheeled around, heading toward the door so I could leave. The temptation to take off and disappear was there. What would happen if I just got in the car and started driving to wherever I wanted? To leave and never look back?
Brace and Terrance almost collided with me as I broke past the door, but I didn’t stop. I glanced back. They seemed too fixated by what was before them that they didn’t even notice my increase in pace. My quick walk turned into a jog and I turned up the speed as much as I could in heels. The sidewalk pounded beneath my feet and I felt myself becoming free for the first time since I’d come back home.
Traffic blurred by and I kept going. People moved out of my way and thinned out the further I disappeared from downtown. My lungs were on fire with each intake of breath, but I pushed myself harder. Before I knew it, I’d somehow kicked my shoes off and was blocks away. My building was only fifty yards ahead when I stopped, gasping for air. Shit, had I just done that? I laughed, huddling over as I breathed in the cool San Francisco breeze. A hole in the nylon fabric had one of my big toes showing and it made me laugh even harder.
“You always were a rebel, disobeying at every opportunity.”
My eyes widened and I jerked to stand. Breathing became impossible as I connected with a pair of eyes I only saw in my dreams.
“Well, hello, slave. Did you miss me?”
Rage was present on my Master’s face and I barely heard my cry escape past the roaring of my pulse.
“Answer me,” he said, dragging me to an inlet on the side of the building.
Darkness cloaked around us as we became concealed from the main road. “You have to let me go,” I said, weakly. God, my voice hadn’t sounded convincing in the least. How could it? My wildest dreams flirted with my worst nightmares. Every desire tugged and pulled at my core, making me wet.
“Let you go?” Shadows played across his face as he shook his head. “But, slave, you knew once you became mine there was no going back. You belong to me. For life. You even said so yourself.”
It was my turn to shake my head. All the therapy told me to run. To call the police and report the dangerous man before me. The submissive who loved her Master begged to drop to her knees and take hold of his legs so we would never be separated again.
“What’s the matter, my gift? Did you forget who you are?” The caring person I’d fallen in love with shone through and I grabbed his wrist. This couldn’t be real.
“You never came to get me. You weren’t supposed to come.” The two statements clashed about as much as the conflict going on inside my brain. Cold brick bit into my back while he pushed into me, pinning me to the wall.
“You doubted my vow? I killed for you. I’ll still kill for you.”
“Please…”
Zain covered me with his body even more, grinding his hard cock against my lower stomach. “Please, nothing. Forgetful slaves have to face consequences. Bad ones hurt even more.” His hand dove into the top of my dress, forcing its way under my strapless bra. A moan poured from me at him squeezing my nipple and rolling it between his fingers. “If you asked me, I’d say you’ve been a very, very naughty girl tonight, Lily. I think it’s time you partook in your punishment.”
Chapter 7
Zain
Feeling Lily under my hands again, smelling her sweet skin as she breathed against my cheek…it didn’t get any better than that. The scent of her perfume made me lightheaded with lust. I wanted my cock in her so desperately, I knew there was no stopping the events that had been set into motion. Our time had finally come, and it was all thanks to my slave’s temper.
When I saw her stand and follow Alec Brighton into the men’s room, blood red jealousy had me easing from my car, gun in hand. I’d been lucky to get a view of them at all. The flirting I saw from the beginning had been a time bomb waiting to go off. Every smile, every inviting expression…Lily had hit the detonator when she stood and joined him. If Slade hadn’t pulled up at the same time, I’d probably be in handcuffs. Whatever happened in that restroom had been bad enough to leave all of her protectors dropping the ball on her safety. What had they seen? Were they killing Alec this very moment? Had they already left his lifeless body on the floor, a mystery to anyone who happened upon him?
“Tell me what played out when you joined Alec.” My finger pinched her nipple harder, while my other hand pulled her dress up past her hips. The garter belt stretched as I twisted it in my fist, still angry that she’d worn it for him when she never had the chance with me.
“You saw that?” Her voice cracked and she sobbed as she moved against me.
“I’ve seen almost everything you’ve done since you were taken from me.” I jerked at the belt, turning it even more, bringing her impossibly closer. “I fucking said you were mine. I said I loved you a million times. How could you turn your back on that?”
