"Inside, did I mess up anything..." I let the words trail off hoping that I wouldn't have to spell it out for him.

The dildo I used to fuck her ass was too big even for a professional and she was far from that.

"She's not torn if that's what you're asking but she's going to have pain for a long while. Nothing permanent." Dr. Nelson shrugged his shoulders and I let out a relieved sigh. It was a small stroke of luck. I was almost sure I'd torn her.

"Where was the blood coming from then?"

"Her leg, there was a piece of glass embedded in the cut on her thigh. I took it out and stitched her up. She has to keep it clean and apply the ointment I've given her to make sure she doesn't get an infection but besides that, it will be fine."

I looked over Dr. Nelson's shoulder toward the door of my room. Faye was in there healing from the beating I'd put on her and all I wanted to do was crawl in the bed next to her and hold her.

I shouldn't and I knew she wouldn't want me to but I couldn't stop the need from overtaking me.

"Go. I'll call you if we need anything else." I nodded at him once and he didn't waste any time getting out of my face. I didn't care that he was angry with me. I didn't care about anyone else besides Faye right now.

As quietly as I could I walked into my room, making sure not to let any extra light in from the outside hall.

She looked so small in my large bed. So fragile. So used up. I'd done that. I'd broken her down and now I was going to have to find a way to build her back up again. I only prayed that she'd give me the chance. After everything I'd done to her, I knew it wouldn't come easy.

"Oh Faye, what have I done," I whispered as I walked around to the other side of the bed and began to peel out of my clothes. I'm sure she wouldn't want me anywhere near her but I'm hoping that she'd be out long enough just for me to feel her against my side again.

After all, it may be the last time she'd be close enough for me to touch. I have a nagging suspicion that once she wakes up I'm going to see just how firey my sweet girl can be.

CHAPTER 28

Dominic

Leaving Faye asleep in my bed was one of the hardest things I had ever done.

Every time she would groan or whimper I mentally lashed myself for what I'd done. Thankfully though she didn't wake up during the time I laid in bed with her. Whatever medication Dr. Nelson gave her really knocked her out.

I couldn't waste the day away though. Not when I still needed to find out who was trying to take me out. I wouldn't dare go to my father with this but I needed someone to give me a damn clue. I was drowning and right now I had no lifeline.

My phone rang and dragged my hand down my face as I pulled it out of my pocket. Faye may have been able to get some rest but I haven't had a good night's sleep in days. I was running on empty.

"Yeah." I answered the phone without looking at the screen to figure out who was calling.

"Well, I'd say you don't sound too happy to hear from me." A deep voice rumbled through the line.

I squeezed my eyes shut and let my head hit the back of the chair I was sitting in.

Kumar had chosen the worst time to reach out. I didn't feel like playing diplomatic right now. Especially when I knew he was only calling to issue more threats.

"What do you want?" I asked, my words clipped and impatient.

"What do you think I want, Dominic? I want what you promised me. I'm just calling to make sure you know you only have two more days to get what I need." He barked back at me.

I hate having to deal with assholes like him but if I still wanted my empire to grow I'd have to suck up my hatred for the man and get the supplies he was paying for.

"I know the deadline. I don't need a reminder."

"That's good to hear. By the way, I've spoken with your father. It seems like he and I have worked something out for future shipments. I didn't want you to have to worry about it."

A rock dropped in my gut. If Kumar was already set up to start working with my father that meant a large chunk of my income had just been taken away.

"I'm glad it worked out for you, now unless you have anything of importance to say I'm rather busy."

"No, you have a good day, Dominic. I'll be seeing you soon." Kumar hung up the phone as I sat there trying to regulate my breathing.
