Her heavy eyes open, and she slowly blinks, her wet lashes fanning her cheeks. “You did so good for me.” I smile, and her eyes fall closed. She’s shaking uncontrollably, and I lean over the side of the Jacuzzi tub, kissing her passionately. She doesn’t reciprocate it. She’s too far gone.
I’ll wash her and put her in my bed. Where she’ll stay. In my house. With me. Even if I have to do this to her every night, I will. I wasn’t lying when I said I’d either tie her to my bed every night or chain her up in my basement. Either way, she’s not leaving this house.
No one is going to take her away from me.
After I finish, I carry and place her naked body in my bed next to a purring Muffin. As I turn to step away, I see her phone and earbuds on the floor over by the windows. I pick up her cell and open the screen and see she’s in her emails, and it’s paused on a video.
Looking down at her, I watch her sleep. The Lords sent her something that pissed her off. Why else would she all of a sudden want to leave me?
I press play, and I don’t need audio to see that it’s me fucking Ashtyn in the ass. It was our senior year at Barrington at the house of Lords. That was the night I overheard Sierra talking shit to Ashtyn in the bathroom. I shared my chosen with Hooke. Then Saint gave Ash an enema and fucked her mouth while she held it in. After he let her relieve herself, he fucked her ass and then let Kashton and me take our turns.
Find another whore to use.
That’s why Charlotte stormed into the gym in such a pissy mood. Aw, my girl is jealous. It’s cute.
My eyes drop back down to the phone and see Kash step up to take his turn and the video ends. Then it disappears. Gone as if it never existed. Why are the Lords sending her this? Why did they want her to see that? Do they want her to leave me? Or do they want me to force her to stay?
She’s not going anywhere. I don’t care how many videos they send her or how much it pisses her off.
Setting her cell on the nightstand, I lean down, kissing her forehead, and whisper, “Get some rest, beautiful,” then go to take a shower myself.
FIFTY-NINE
CHARLOTTE
I’m not technically released from Haidyn’s house arrest after I was attacked in the bathroom, but I’m also no longer fighting to stay at my house either. I feel stupid about my outburst. We both know I can’t walk away from him. The Lords can send me whatever they want. I can’t call quits on this assignment.
I needed a break and was surprised today when I told him I had a few errands to run and all he did was kiss me bye and went back to his office. Today is my IV appointment. I almost canceled, considering I haven’t been out lately, but who knew that sex was just as exhausting as getting hammered?
Last night after dinner, he tied me down and started with my mouth. Then moved onto my pussy. Fuck, I was in tears due to how sore my body felt. I wanted to beg him to stop just so I could have a break, but of course I was gagged. So like his good girl I am, I had to take it. And he reminded me every second how good it felt. I came three times.
Getting out of his bed this morning was a challenge. That’s when I knew my me day couldn’t hurt.
I’m sitting in the room with the IV in my arm, and I go to turn my phone on silent so I don’t have any interruptions when it dings in my hand.
I open it up to see it’s a message from Haidyn.
Sushi or Italian?
I smile and respond.
Sushi.
The three little dots bounce around until it goes off again.
Whatever my girl wants.
I shut my phone off without responding. Hating and loving the way my pulse races. Why does he have to say shit like that? Why does any text from a monster make me smile?
I’m getting in too deep. This is why my father had me remain a virgin for so long. My mother told me no man would ever know my body as good as I’d know it myself, but she was wrong. Haidyn knows it better than I ever could.
It’s getting confusing. Who he is in my life and what I’m supposed to be doing. My emotions are getting the best of me. The fact that he saved me from the attacker in the bathroom makes me think he actually cares about me. But then I tell myself, he can’t play with me if his toy is ruined.
An hour later, the nurse returns and removes my IV. I thank her and make my way to my car. When I turn my cell back on, it chimes with an incoming message.
UNKNOWN: Bring Haidyn to this location 10:00 sharp. Tonight or else…
I toss the phone across the car like it’s on fire and hear it hit the passenger floorboard.
“Fuck!” I shout, hitting the steering wheel. “This can’t be happening.” I run my hand through my hair, gripping a hold of it.
This is it. This is what they wanted me to do all along. Turn him over to them. But why? What has he done to them that they want to punish him? And why me? Why give me this assignment?
And if I don’t…I fail. I told Haidyn if it was ever him or me…I’d choose me. Every time. But now? He saved me. That guy in the bathroom could have raped and killed me, but Haidyn didn’t let that happen.
Is this why they sent me the video of him and Ashtyn right after he saved me? Because they know I’m getting attached and want me to hate him?
My phone rings and it makes me jump. Taking in a deep breath, I lean over and pick it up off the floor to see it’s Haidyn. For a second, I think about not answering, but I can’t ignore him. That would throw up red flags. “He-llo?” I clear my throat and try again. “Hey.”
“Doll face.” His deep voice fills my ear, and my thighs clench closed, hating how much my body responds to him.
“What…what are you doing?” I stumble over my words and want to punch myself in the face. Taking a deep breath, I try to calm my racing heart.
“You okay, Charlotte?”
His question makes my chest tighten that I’m that readable, and he’s not even looking at me. He can tell by my voice alone that something is wrong. “Of course,” I answer, giving a soft laugh. “I just finished up my IV,” I add. “The sessions always make me jittery afterward.” Lie.
“Okay.” He buys it, and I let out a sigh of relief. “I just wanted to let you know reservations have been made for dinner. Eight o’clock.” My stomach knots at the fact I have to turn him over two hours after that. “I have to go into Carnage, but I’ll pick you up from your house, okay?”
I had told him that I wanted to grab a few more things from my house today. I need more clothes. At this point, I might as well just move in with him. The thought makes my stomach knot because after tonight, it won’t matter. I nod my head to myself and answer him softly, “Yeah. Sounds good.”
He hangs up, and I drop the phone on my lap. Going into this, I told myself I’d do whatever I had to do to make it in this world. But I never thought I’d have to give up the one thing that makes me feel like our world isn’t so bad.
HAIDYN
I enter the office at Carnage. Saint and Kashton both look up at me and then at each other.
“Hey, man.” Kash gets up and walks over to me, giving me a handshake hug as if I didn’t just see him two nights ago. “What’s up?”
“I came to look at something,” I answer and drop into my chair at my desk, avoiding Saint’s stare. We haven’t had the talk yet to explain what and why I did what I did. I’m not in the mood right now. I have something to figure out.
Placing the USB drive into the computer, I pull up the surveillance footage from the gas station that Sin grabbed for me. I didn’t have time to watch it because I spent the evening inside Charlotte. Then my guest arrived, throwing me off. I ended up fucking Charlotte in my gym.
They plan on taking her away from me, but it won’t be happening. I have a plan of my own, but I’ve also got something else to handle at the moment.
Sitting back in my chair, I cross my arms over my chest and watch the screen. It has five different angles. One shows the four pumps, the second shows the off-ramp and busy highway. The third shows the front door and the window that you can pay at right next to it. The fourth shows the back, an empty parking lot with one car-which I’m guessing belongs to the employee. The fifth one shows the bathrooms.
I set it to three minutes before I know we arrived and push play. My eyes scan the one that shows the off-ramp, and her SUV appears after a couple of minutes. As I pull up to the pump, something catches my attention, and I see a black motorcycle exit the highway.
I sit up straighter. It pulls into the gas station as I get out of the car to pump her gas. I don’t even see it. On the screen, my attention is on the pump while I know my mind was on Charlotte. I was pissed at her attitude and thrown off by LeAnne showing up at Ryat’s.
The guy gets off his black R6, removes his black helmet and hangs it on his mirror, then removes his black gloves and jacket. He tosses them over his seat, and I notice he already has his ski mask on. He was wearing it under his helmet.
The blood rushes in my ears as I watch the passenger side door open. I know Charlotte and I exchange words, and then, just like I remember, she enters the women’s restroom.
He rushes to enter behind her.
