Another sob. “You never came,” she said, pushing against me angrily. “You left me here. Let them take me. You fucking—” A sound laced with pain had her crying harder while she thrashed beneath me. “No, you’re in part responsible. You ruined my life. Get off of me.”
“Never.” With a yank, I broke the belt, moving my hand down to the side of the thong. “Did he see this? Did he touch what’s mine? Hmm?” Fabric ripped under my hand and I jerked the other side just as hard, removing the barrier completely. The sway of her body bumping into mine sent a growl pushing past my throat. “Fucking speak, slave. Did you let that motherfucker touch what I own?”
“You have to stop. Please.”
“Answer.” My hand let go of her hip and I held her face level with mine. “What happened in that restroom, Lily?” My tongue licked over her lips, needing to taste her again. I nearly moaned as I pulled at her lower lip with my teeth. “Do you know how much that hurt watching what I’ve tried to get back give herself away so freely? You didn’t have to go back there, but you did. Now…tell me,” I gritted out.
A sniffle left her and her eyes cut up as she tried to straighten. There was that strength I knew in her.
“It’s all your fault. You turned me into this.”
“Into what?”
Silence. My shake had her weeping. “Don’t you see? I became you. Every single part. I tied him up. Told him what to do. Then, my brother walked in. End of story.”
The world could have stopped and I wouldn’t have known it past the pain that slammed into my chest.
“You told him what to do?” I gripped her face tighter. “And what was that?”
“Let me go,” she said, angrily. “This ends now. I’m not yours. I never was.”
The building of pressure against my heart was damn near breaking it. This wasn’t my Lily. I knew to expect this sort of reaction, but experiencing it firsthand was far from easy.
“You’re going to tell me every single detail. I want to know what you just lived. What you let him experience.”
“No. If you don’t let me go, I’m calling the police. I’ll have you arrested for assault.”
“Assault? On what’s mine?”
She tried to move her face out of my hand but I gripped tighter, not allowing her to break our stare. “You can’t do this here. The law won’t even let you touch me if I don’t want it.”
I kissed her, cutting off what she was about to say. “But you do want it,” I said, rubbing my cock against her again. “I feel how your body gravitates toward mine. Your hips are moving into me as we speak.” She stilled, but I kept going. “Don’t close your eyes, slave. Look at me.” Tears streamed over my fingers as she obeyed. “Good girl. Now, tell me you don’t love me. I know you can’t. God, Lily, you’re everything to me. Do you know how long I’ve been waiting to get to you? How hard this has been for me, too? I love you,” I stressed. “Do you think I would be here right now if I didn’t?” Again, my lips pressed into hers. “Fuck, I’ve missed you so much.”
The crying only got harder. “We can’t. This isn’t right. You’re the enemy. You’re the bad one I’m supposed to stay away from.”
“Your enemies are dying off one by one. I’ve killed two of my uncles so I can cut ties. Two more and my father, and we’re home free. No more worrying about them ever hurting anyone again. I promised you I would make them pay for what they’ve done. I’m keeping my word. Just like I kept my word on coming for you. I’m here. Right fucking here. Don’t stop loving me now. We’re so close.”
The squeal of brakes had her eyes breaking from mine. I thought she had been taking my words sincerely, but she began to struggle in earnest. Fuck, I didn’t want it to be like this.
Her mouth opened and my hand slammed over it, muffling her scream. “Don’t you dare. You know in your heart I’m the one for you. I don’t give a fuck about the conditions that surrounded us when we first met. Something happened when it was just you and me. We fell in love. Now you’re trying to find any excuse you can to deny what you know is true.” My head shook. “I’m not going to let you. I refuse to stop until you’re the Lily who was forcefully removed from my room. She fought with every ounce of strength she had to try to stay with me. I want her back and you’re going to give her to me.”
I removed my hand, taking her mouth with all the brutality I felt she deserved for her betrayal. I couldn’t get enough. For the briefest moment, I felt her kiss me back. “That’s it. Let yourself go. Come back to me.” My arms wrapped around her as I deepened the kiss. At my hand tugging at her hair, she broke the connection, taking in a deep breath.
“This is so wrong.”
“No, this is right. We belong together and I’m going to show you why.”
I fixed her dress as I let her feet search for the ground. Slade’s fancy sports car was parked in front of Lily’s building, but the Town Car was nowhere to be seen. They had to be out looking for her or dealing with Alec.
“One night to try to convince you,” I said in her ear. “You give me that and if you want to go home in the morning, you can. If you refuse to stay with me tonight, we leave the country immediately. Your choice.” Before she could answer, I continued. “One night or Afghanistan. Either way, I get my chance. Think my proposition through. There, you’ll never escape and you know it. I’m willing to be miserable under my father’s roof if it means I get to keep you, so I’m fine with it either way.”
A frustrated sob left her. “This isn’t fair. You have to see how complicated things would be. My brother would kill you if he knew how we met. We have to go our separate ways. You have to leave while you still can.”
“Slade doesn’t scare me. Besides, do you really think he can best me at my own game? Death is nothing more than a delivery service in which I excel. He doesn’t stand a chance.”
The fighting grew stronger. “Zain, tell me you’re not going to hurt my brother.”
Killing was something I never joked about and I wasn’t going to lie to convince her either. “Your brother is safe…for now. Unless he gives me reason. Now, choose. One night, or do you want to go back?”
