The windows were too dark to see inside. My head lowered, catching the driver’s face from the glow of a passing car. The street was industrial and deserted. No businesses were close enough to catch anything, which only meant one thing—no cameras.
“Yep. The driver is a guard. Mohammed. Looks like I won.”
Blake cursed under his breath and increased the speed even more while we both pulled down the masks sitting on the top of our heads. “I’ll take out the driver and the passenger to buy time. You do what you need to do.” He jerked the wheel, placing us in front of the car and slammed on the brakes. The force pulled me forward, but I managed to unbuckle fast enough. We both threw open the door at the same time and the cracking glass from the windshield was louder than the shots.
I raced for the back, my gun drawn as I approached. “Don’t do it, Zain.” My cousin’s voice filled the street as the back door was thrown open. He raised the gun and time slowed as my heart slammed into my chest.
I weaved to the side and pulled the trigger as the sound of metal getting hit shrieked behind me. Though, it was only a distant thought as I watched my cousin drop to the ground. Such havoc and chaos reigned down around us and yet, I had no doubt people were peacefully sleeping not streets over. My breathing deepened as I saw Blake coming up on the other side.
“Out, now,” I growled at my father. His eyes were wide, fearful, as he looked up at me. I’d never in my life seen anything but anger or emptiness cloud his vision. The sudden change of emotion had my hand reaching in and grabbing him out. The man sitting beside him was already dead. I’d never heard the shot coming from Blake’s weapon.
“Make it fast,” Blake said, quietly.
Arabic poured from my mouth as I grasped his throat, squeezing to make him kneel before me. He hit the ground hard and my fingers rose, clenching in his hair while I shoved the barrel of my gun into his mouth. “You spilled blood to bring me in. The blood of my mother and a man I considered more of a father than you ever were. Since then, you’ve done nothing but cause damage in the lives of others, doing the unthinkable to their children. I’ve been waiting for my time to finally make the bleeding stop. That day is today. You wanted a killer. Here I am, father,” I said, pushing the barrel in even deeper. “It’s time I take what is owed to me and everyone else you’ve ever hurt. Death to bring me in. Death to set me free. Say hello to your brothers. Expect two more shortly.”
I thrust upward and pulled the trigger twice, letting him drop to the ground. Not once did I break eye contact. I needed to see his fear. See the life leave him. It didn’t bring back the child he’d damaged, but there was a sense of peace within the man he created. A closure I hadn’t expected.
“Let’s go,” Blake said, pulling on my arm. “I want to get the hell out of here.”
I was already obeying before he could finish. The SUV took off at a fast speed and I ripped the mask free, tossing it into my lap.
“You okay?” Blake looked over, his mask also gone.
“Never been better.”
My stare went to the urban setting outside and I let myself zone out. I’d been telling the truth. I hadn’t felt this light since before I’d been taken. Lily was safe. Slade was on board with us being together. My father and more of his men were dead. There were only two more people on my list, then I’d be completely released from my past.
“Can you give me some time with Lily before we head to Afghanistan? There are some things she and I need to take care of before I can leave.” Asking Blake to wait didn’t sit well. I had always been like him, solo, but he already had the address. If I didn’t get him to comply, he’d go on his own and I knew it.
“Yeah, sure,” he said, lowly.
I could tell there was something on his mind, but he kept his gaze straight ahead.
“Listen, I’m going to drop you off. Tell Slade I’ll be in contact. My wife called earlier. I think I’ll head home early and surprise her. Maybe spend a few days there before I head back this way to tie some things up with Gaige.”
Blake turned down our road and I could tell whatever he was thinking about, it was deep. His eyes kept narrowing as if trying to calculate some impossible problem. I pushed it away as he pulled to the front of the building.
“I’ll be back two weeks, to the day. Be ready.”
I leaned back, putting the gun back in the big black bag. It wasn’t mine or Marcio’s, it was Blake’s. Everything I was armed with was his.
“I’ll be ready.” I opened the door and slid out, nodding as I closed it and headed for the entrance. My mind slipped into thoughts and I let Lily take me over as I hit the button for the elevator. Was she waiting for me? Worried? Sleeping?
Stepping inside and hitting the button for the floor was a fog. Memories of how her body felt under mine had me leaning against the glass walls. So soon she’d be mine again. My slave would be kneeling and begging me for more. God, yes. I needed her submission. Needed her screaming as I made her come all over my cock.
The wealth of pent up emotions I held nearly suffocated me. I’d had a taste of what was mine. Felt her pussy around me for the first time in years. The beast inside had been teased and he was desperate for more. There was nothing else holding me back. No more barriers. The Master in me was about to be sated. I could feel him take over as the elevator opened and I was faced with Marcio and Brace. They immediately stood upon my entrance.
“All good?” Marcio took a step toward me.
“Done. Is Lily ready?”
I reached for the doorknob.
“Actually, she’s too tired to leave tonight,” he said, looking toward Brace. “She wants to go in the morning. Slade said you can tell her you’re okay and here, but you’re to sleep on the couch. That’s final. Already put a blanket and pillow there for you.”
I pushed the door open. “The couch. Of course.” Had I been thinking Lily and I would be making love until dawn under some roof in Washington? I should have considered how exhausted she was. Shit, she’d been kidnapped and beaten for over two weeks. My priorities were out of line. It was time to get my head in the game. I was the Master of someone. That came with responsibilities. This wasn’t about me or what I wanted. This was about what was best for my slave.
Silence met me as I crossed through the living room and turned left, down a hallway. I knew from watching her that her room was located at the end of the hall. I slowly eased the door opened and the glow of her closet light greeted me. Lily lay in bed awake, tears staining her face.
