Page 59 of Dare To Break

Her diary suggests she longs for security. Money will give her that. A home that isn’t going to be snatched away. Bills paid on time. No worries about losing gas or electricity. No more picking the cheapest option at the grocery store just to make sure there’s enough food to eat until the next paycheck.

I get it. I understand the drive behind it. It doesn’t mean I’m going to allow it to continue, though. I’m still going to ensure neither she nor her mother get their fingers on the money my father has. But my focus has changed, evolved.

My intention is still to drive her away, run her off, send her scurrying from the school with her tail between her legs. I don’t want her here. She distracts me and I don’t like it. But now I want to savor it. I want to take my time instead of scaring her into begging her mom to take her away.

Standing in front of the bench, I can still feel her lips around my finger, the warm wet lick of her tongue. Her soft, quick breaths as she tried not to show her fear and excitement … and I want more of it.

“Eli?” Kellan’s snapped word brings my attention back to him.

“What?”

“You didn’t answer me.”

I frown, trying to recall what he’d said, then I nod. “I wanted to see how much she wants to play.”

“She was giving your finger a blowjob.” His voice was dry. “I think you got your answer.”

I pull off my ski mask and laugh quietly. “I did. She needs more practice before I let her mouth anywhere near my dick.”

Kellan snorts. “You think she’s going to get on her knees for you?”

“I think she’s going to do a lot of things for me. You heard her. Her acceptance was clear. Even after I stood here and had her blow my finger like it was my dick. There was barely any hesitation. She wants what I’m giving her.” I shrug, turning to set off back to the school. “I’m just performing a public service at this point.”

“A public service?”

“Sure. Who knows what trouble she’d get into trying to get her kicks and relieve the itch she writes about in her diary if I wasn’t supplying her with an outlet.” I throw a sidelong glance at Kellan. “Someone might take advantage of her. The way I see it, I’m doing her a favor.”

Kellan shakes his head, shoulders moving with his laughter. “Not sure she’ll see it the same way.”

“Not sure I care.”

I care.

The idea of her dropping to her knees for someone else makes my jaw clench. I want to become the center of her existence, her sole reason for getting through the day. I want to be on her mind every second until sucking my dick, and making me come, is all she can think about. And then, when she’s in so deep with me that she can’t climb out, I’ll bring the world crashing down around her ears.

We make the rest of the trip back to our room in silence, creeping through the tunnels until we reach the exit inside our building. Once we’re back in our room, I lock the door and turn to face Kellan.

“Let’s see what our cameras caught.”

“I got a really good shot of her mouth around your finger.” He pulls out his cell and taps around the screen, then turns it to face me.

We both watch as the scene plays out. Kellan pauses just as I pull my finger free from between her lips.

“Did you see how she was squirming on that bench? She either desperately wanted to pee, or she wanted to come.”

A smile slowly spreads across my face. “Let’s find out.” I pull out the second burner phone I’d picked up and power it up.

Me: When you were sitting on the bench, sucking on my finger, were you wet, Kitten?

Her reply came through seconds later. I wonder if she’s got the cell close by. Did she expect to hear from me so soon?

Prey: Who are you?

I roll my eyes. So predictable. I don’t reply to that, and just repeat my previous question. The response is almost immediate.

Prey: Yes.

Me: Good girl. What are you going to do about it?
