“Well, yes, but…”
“Stop,” I said, lowly. “The more you think about what can never be, the worse it’ll become. I know this from experience, slave. I was every bit the captive you were. Sometimes we just have to accept what is and continue living with what we’re given.”
Her head lifted while she cupped my cheek. The soft press of her lips had my eyes searching hers.
“Let’s leave together. We can go back to San Francisco and you can get a job while I go to school. You can have a new start. Once my brother knows everything, he’ll destroy this place. We can do it, Master. We can escape.”
The happiness on her face had my hand fitting over her mouth—hard. “No more. You’re living in a fantasy world.” In truth, the temptation rocked me. I wanted to leave with her. Wanted to work a normal job while she went to school. We could get a little place and spend every minute of our free time in each other’s arms. What I liked even more was how she saw us together outside of this place. For some reason, I hadn’t expected that—hadn’t even let myself think of the possibility.
“No,” she said, managing to turn her head away from my palm. “You are the one living in a fantasy. You’re brainwashed into believing your father is more powerful than he is. You watch. My brother is going to kill him when he finds out where I am and what he’s done to all those girls.”
My fingers buried into her hair and I tightened my fist. “The only one killing that bastard is me. Enough of this talk. I want your pussy on me again. Kiss me and let me taste what’s mine.” I spun her underneath me, still holding her head steady and under my control. “You want me?”
Moans poured from her mouth as I let the underside of my cock glide over her wet slit. Her hips pumped, urging me to go faster.
“Yes, Master.”
“You said you wanted to be with me in your little fantasy world. That really true?”
Lily paused and the pink that tinted her cheeks had my mouth crushing into hers. I didn’t need an answer from what I’d just seen.
“I want to be with you, too. There’s no one else for me, Lily. You’re the one.” My hips shifted as I reached down, sliding one of my fingers deep into her pussy. Nails dug into the back of my biceps and I eased another in, thrusting at a slow pace.
No matter what was going through my mind, I couldn’t break my stare from the pleasure on her face. Her sounds grew louder, hypnotizing me. Warmth filled my chest until it resembled nothing short of liquid lava. How had she done it? Come into my life and turned a cold, ruthless killer into a man full of tenderness and love? True, it wasn’t to anyone but her and an outsider would see it differently with the punishment I inflicted on her, but I never thought myself capable to care for someone. To…
“I love you,” I breathed against her lips, telling her for the first time. “God, I do. And nothing will ever break us apart.”
“No matter what?”
Such raw hope on her face. “You have my word, baby girl. No matter what.”
Bright lights shone through the darkness taking Lily away from me. There was something over my mouth and nose that kept rocking my head the slightest amount. For the life of me, I couldn’t react to try to remove whatever was suffocating me…or was it giving me air? I couldn’t think to decide. Fire covered my chest and my body swayed at someone pushing down. Chest compressions? Opening my eyes took every ounce of strength I had, but my surroundings didn’t become visible before darkness blanketed me once again. A multitude of voices grabbed my attention and I fought to make out the words.
“Let's do a Dopamine drip to titrate the patient’s blood pressure. Systolic blood pressure of one-forty.” A voice further away, broke through. “We’re going to have to get him into surgery fast. He’s losing too much blood.”
“You’re bleeding.” My voice was cold as I walked forward, pulling Lily from the corner of the room she was huddled in. Nausea and rage mixed, sending my adrenaline through the roof. “What happened? Who hurt you?” I angled her face to the side, taking in the fresh bruise and laceration on her cheek.
“It’s nothing, really. It was my fault.”
It took everything I had not to shake her. “What. Happened?”
Tears rolled down her cheeks, feeding my anger even more.
“There was a slave. She was hurt. I tried to help.”
My head shook and I lifted her hand to kiss her palm. The long sleeve of the robe fell away and my eyes widened at the claw marks embedded deep in her arm.
“Oh…baby. Did they do this to you, too?”
She jerked her hand back. “No, that was the girl. She’s…”A sob broke from her and she threw herself into my chest, crying harder than I’d ever seen her. “She’s dead. She died in my arms while I was trying to comfort her. Then, Saul found me and—”A deep groan vibrated my insides as she broke.
“No more. I’m here now. I won’t let anyone hurt you again.” I covered her face, leaving her eyes showing as I led her to the shower. The moment the robe dropped to the floor, I knew what I had to do. The bruise on her face was enough to convince me, but the damage I saw covering my slave’s body went past simple murder. I was going to carve my uncle up every way I could for putting his hands on what belonged to me.
Lights broke through the darkness again. I blinked, feeling my eyes roll as what looked to be shadows hovered over me.
“He’s waking up.”
The voice sounded distant and my head turned to the side as I tried to figure out which direction it had come from. More talking and movement swirled and I knew I should have been scared, but the only thing on my mind was Lily. Someone had taken her. A man, wearing dark clothes and a ski mask. Was she okay? Was she getting hurt this very moment?
