Page 42 of Mine, Forever

Ebony walked in the door of the apartment wearing tight jeans and an almost see- through tank. I could see that luscious cleavage poking out the top. She pushed her sunglasses up on top of her head and smiled at me in a way that told me she had come here for one thing. I couldn’t let the minx distract me.

“Where’s Ty’s body?”

Her smile dropped as she made her way to me. “Is that all you care about?”

“Yes. Now where is it?”

“Why don’t I show you?”

I wasn’t sure I liked her tone of voice, but I nodded, allowing her to lead me out of the apartment and down to the undercover garage I rarely used.

“Ebony—”

“Notice anything new?”

I looked around finally spotting the large yellow tub sitting in the middle of the room. Turning to her, I didn’t know what to say. So instead, I moved over to it lifting the lid only to be assaulted with the strongest, most pungent smell ever to evade my nostrils.

Acid.

She’d melted him.

A slow smile made its way onto my face as I sealed the tub again and moved back to her.

“Are you pleased?”

“Is this how you deal with all of your enemies?” I asked her.

“I wouldn’t know. I haven’t had enough time to test out what I would do if I wanted someone gone.”

Perfect answer,I thought. I led her back through the apartment and roughly pushed her into the bedroom. Not only was I impressed, but I was hard as stone—again.

“How’d you do it?”

“Shot him.”

“Here?” I asked, suddenly a little wary.

“Yeah.”

“How did you get him here?” I asked, not liking where this was going.

“How do you think?”

Anger coursed through me, my heart hammering in my chest. She didn’t seem phased which only made it worse. I closed the distance between us in two steps, taking her by the throat and slamming her against the wall.

“I told you not to let anyone touch you.”

She struggled to breathe under my hand, her fingers scratching at mine to release her. Watching her face turn red, I knew I was pushing it, but I couldn’t stand the thought of Ty touching her.She was mine.

I felt her squirm a little, and suddenly a hard thrust met my cock and balls forcing me to let her go. Pain ricocheted through my body, causing me to hunch over, trying to breathe through the intense throbbing in my crotch. Even though I was in agony, I still felt like I could take her right here and now.

“You can’t strangle me every time you don’t like something I’ve done or said,” she huskily breathed out. “I told you I would do anything for you like get rid of Ty, but you can’t just strangle me because he laid a hand on me. He didn’t do anything other than touch me, and that’s because I couldn’t stand the thought of him doing more. You won’t treat me like your rag doll—not me, ever.”

She kicked me in the back hitting me in the tender spot just over my kidney. I fell onto the floor as she opened the door, hitting my hand that was lying close by and storming out.

I didn’t like the feeling that had begun to well in the pit of my stomach, but for some reason I knew with the only part of my soul I had left that I was in love with my broken princess.

Jett Black had fallen in love.
