“Nothing. He just came in and fucked me.”

“Did he speak?”

“Only a little.”

“What did he say?”

“Just to call Red if he got too rough.”

“Anything else?”

“He put a belt in my mouth to bite down on.”

Kaleb’s brow arches. “Did you like it?”

“Yes.” No point in lying. Kaleb knows better than anyone how rough I like it in bed. “I was chained to a wall.” Showing him the red marks that haven’t faded on my wrists makes my belly twist. He holds my hands and presses a gentle kiss on each one.

Locking eyes with mine again, he keeps his mouth close to my hand and asks, “Did you come?”

“Not at first. But afterwards.”

Kaleb swallows hard. I think there’s jealousy in him somewhere, not that he’d ever admit it since he made me do this. It’s his fault I fucked that guy. Besides, he doesn’t care about me like that anymore. I’m not sure he ever really did.

“Afterwards?” He runs his thumb over the signet scar. “Tell me more.”

“He…” I hate this so much. “He came first and then made me come.”

“How?”

“Fuck, Kaleb, why does it matter?”

Anger morphs his face as he grabs my wrist harder and yanks it, spinning me while twisting my arm behind my back. “Everything. Matters. Daelyn.” Keeping the pressure painful, he asks again. “How did he make you come?”

Shit, this hurts! “He ate me out, okay?”

“He tasted you.” Kaleb lets me go and backs away. “Good.”

I rub my aching arm and swallow the bile rising in my throat. “Good? What the hell does that mean?”

“It means he’s already addicted to you.” Kaleb walks through the open glass French doors that lead to a balcony and flicks his cigarette over the railing. “Trust me. I knowexactlyhow it feels.”

My mouth runs dry. I’m not that special and Kaleb’s out of his damn mind.

“Anything else?” he asks with his back to me.

I almost tell him about the fighter mentioning a place called the Monarch, but something stops me. After I got home that night, I’d looked it up and discovered it’s an elite sex club on the ritzy side of town. It’s a simple piece of information to give, but instinct tells me to keep it to myself for now. And if Kaleb isn’t looking at me, he can’t catch me lying.

“No. Like I said, he was a mindless animal. He just fucked and bled all over me. Then it was done.”

“Except he also made you come.”

Thanks for the reminder. “So what?”

“That means he cared.”

“Doubtful.”

“He came first and still took care of you, Dae. That means something.”
