Going back to the place I was raised held nothing but a twisted sense of hate and relief. I was ready to put an end to my past, but I couldn’t stand the fact of facing it again. Knowing I’d be there so soon had me gripping Lily’s neck as her mouth connected to mine. Harder, I held her, wrapping my other arm around her waist to spin her over. Desperation drove my hips forward and made me meet her tongue with an urgency I hadn’t felt seconds before.

“Fuck, I don’t want to leave you,” I whispered against her lips. “I just got you back.”

Lilian’s arm tightened around my neck and I didn’t deny her more. I couldn’t. Master or not, I knew how much my slave needed me and I needed her just as much. If I didn’t return—

I cut my thoughts off, refusing to believe my uncles would win in this war. They tortured me growing up. Saul had killed my unborn child and beat the woman I loved, not to mention all the slaves he’d killed over time. No, he wouldn’t make it out alive. Even if I ended up dying in the end, he’d beat me to death’s door. There was no way I’d go out without him paying for his crimes.

“Master, can I ask something of you?” Her words came out broken up as we continued to kiss.

“Don’t. I know where your thoughts are.” My hand fisted in her hair as I ground into her even more. Temptation was a hell of an invitation. Just hearing Lily’s question opened the little dark box and I could feel the fight that raged on inside of me. It had my other hand coming up to lock onto the other side of her head.

“Show me,” she moaned. “Don’t leave without introducing me to the real you. Just this once.”

A moan slipped through my clenched teeth and I pulled back on her hair until she made a small sound. “You can’t take it, baby.” I pulled even harder. “Don’t you see that? You pushing this issue is only going to hurt you more.”

“Wrong. You hiding it will. Do it,” she said, angrily, jerking beneath me. “Show me what you’re capable of or I flip the switch and introduce you to someone who will.”

I didn’t have to ask who she was referring to. The dominance she held behind her stare had me remembering her description of dominating Alec. I knew my slave possessed the will. She said she’d wanted to be me. Seeing her as she was now, I had no doubts she would try.

Angrily, I pushed the dress to her hips, hearing it split in the process. “You think you’re going to order me around? Hmm?” The panties tearing from her hips had a smile edging to her face, but not for long. Something flashed behind her eyes and the next thing I knew, her arm was flying out and knocking mine further away.

“You want to be my Master? Prove you’re worthy, or maybe I’ll find someone else who will.”

Lilian could have hit me with a bag of bricks for the force her words had. Rage flared even though I knew she didn’t mean them. She was baiting me, and it was working.

“You’ll never be rid of me, slave. Never. If you even think about trying to replace me, you’ll regret the day. You’re mine. Mine,” I said, reaching back to pull her panties off completely. The struggle was there while she tried to wiggle further away. I let her feel the power in my hand as she pushed against my grip on the lace. Fuck. I could feel my darkness beginning to thrive with her fight. This wasn’t good. Wasn’t right.

The pressure against my wrist sent my hand flying back. My head shook and I lifted from the bed, turning to pace the living room.

“No going to happen. Not yet.”

Mindlessly, I talked to myself, letting the calm try to snuff the need to completely overpower her. I could take what I wanted. Whatever I wanted.

“Don’t you dare.” Lily flew off the bed and undressed. It only made my urges even more intense. I could feel my shoulders cave in and my movements become more lithe. Faster, my heart raced, and I could see the Lily before me was no longer my slave. She was replaced by a woman who thought herself my equal and she glared back at me with every intent to pounce if I didn’t first.

Slowly, we circled each other, testing, getting our feel for one other. I couldn’t stop staring at the sway of her breasts. My fingers twitched while I tried to keep my distance and focus.

“You don’t want to do this, slave. Your best bet is to go kneel and get in position. I’ll let you apologize, you can get your punishment, and we’ll pretend like this never happened.”

Her head shook even as the unshed tears reflected in the light. “I will not. You owe me this after everything we’ve been through. Give it to me before you leave. Don’t deny me a part of yourself that I might never get to experience again. I haven’t once told you not to go. And I don’t want you to,” she sobbed. “Blake Morgan could handle it, but I know what you need. Now give me what I need.”

My eyes closed, confliction clouding my mind, and my darkness easily winning in the process. And then…nothing. Gravity became nonexistent and I landed hard on my back. The air whooshed from my lungs and Lilian was on me before I could process that she’d even moved to begin with. My jeans tugged against my hips and she had them unfastened within a second.

I growled, kicking out my leg and easily pinning her underneath me. The waistline slid to my lower hips and my cock was so hard, it ached behind the material that kept it restrained.

“Your mistake was telling me you liked the fight. I’m about to give you one you’ll never forget. Just don’t say I didn’t warn you.”

A laugh bellowed out of me as I took in her small frame beneath me.

“I have you at my mercy, slave. What are you going to—?”

Both of her elbows came in and with a yank, her wrists somehow broke free from my grasp. I was barely able to deflect the heel of her palm thrusting toward my face.

“Nice,” I breathed out. Damn if my adrenaline wasn’t starting to shoot through the roof. This was my fantasy come true with added competition. It wouldn’t be as easy. Lilian would make it hard for me. She’d make me work to have her where I wanted.

My hand shot out to grab one of hers and her body shrimped to the side. The fist that slammed into my ribs had my mouth parting in shock. What the fuck? I hadn’t thought she’d get that physical.

“That’s it.” My fingers embedded in her hair and I tried to roll her onto her stomach, but her feet planted and she made it difficult to turn all the way. I added more of my weight and used my legs to separate hers to help with the maneuver. “Is this what you wanted?” I spanked her hard, causing her to yelp and fall onto her stomach. With one hand, I managed to grasp her wrists and with the other, I removed my pants completely. Lily’s ass lifted, rubbing against my cock, but still she tried to break my hold. My hand came down on her ass again—hard. “You think this is so bad? That taking you is what sates my sick needs? Not even close,” I said, growling in her ear. “You just fucked up, baby, because there’s no going back now. You want it. You fucking got it.”
