“How did you find me so quickly?” “I told you,” he murmured against my shoulder. “I’d always find you.” I pulled back. There was something evasive in his tone, a flicker in his eyes that sent a pulse of suspicion through me. “What do you mean by that?” “Ava, it’s late. We’ve had a rough night. Let’s talk in the morning when things are—” “No,” I interrupted, my voice steely as I pushed back against him. “Tell me. Now.” He let out a long sigh, dragging a hand over his face, but when he looked back at me, his expression was unreadable, almost unapologetic. “I put a tracking device in you.” “You did… what?” I whispered, barely able to breathe. The room spun, and my head filled with a sickening buzz of disbelief. “Take it out.” “No.” “Take it out,” I repeated, my voice breaking, “or I’ll rip it out myself.” I pressed my nails into my neck, dragging them over my skin as if I could claw the damn thing out. My skin felt like bugs were running underneath it. “That’s enough,” he snapped, catching my wrists in an iron grip and slamming them against the wall above my head. His face was inches from mine, the intensity of his stare fierce and raw. I spat in his face as I fought against him, my voice raw with fury. “Get it out. Get it out now!” He didn’t even flinch as my spit ran down his cheek. He stuck out his tongue to lick it as it ran past his mouth. I hated that as I writhed in his grasp, he hardened against me, causing heat to gather between my legs. Dang him for getting turned on right now. Dang my stupid body for joining in. With a quick wrench of my wrist, I broke free from his grip, recalling one of his own techniques he’d taught me. My fist connected with his jaw, a burst of satisfaction surging through me as he let out a curse. But it was short-lived; his hand closed around the wrist, my knuckles throbbing, before pinning it back against the wall with unrelenting strength. “I can’t lose you again,” he roared, his voice echoing off the walls, each word jagged and desperate. His chest heaved, his arms trembling as he held me there, his face so close I could see every pained line, every shadow of grief and need. His forehead rested against mine as he shut his eyes, his jaw tight as if battling against his own emotions. He was terrified. The realization shocked me. He was frightened, desperate. His love for me had fueled everything he’d done, every action, no matter how wrong. Something broke inside me. I didn’t want to think about the betrayal, the grief, the rage boiling in my chest. I just wanted to feel something else, anything else. Before I knew what I was doing, I surged forward, capturing his mouth with mine. ~ Read this intense dark romance trilogy by Sienna Blake for FREE in Kindle Unlimited when you click the Download button now!
