“You’ll rot somewhere. I win, not you. You could never fucking win,” Clara spits out at him. I hold on to her, pulling her into the position I want, and slide into her wet pussy. She lets out a primal groan. “Fuck! Make me come all over your hard cock, Burke.”

She’s putting on a performance, and if that’s what she needs, I’m happy to be here to deliver. I grab her ponytail, jerking her upright, and slam into her. The way she squeezes around my shaft is almost too much to bear. I let go of her hair and grip her hips as I pound into her.

Clara grips the carpet in front of her, thrusting back on my dick as she screams out and tightens around me. “Fuck, Burke, I’ve never come like you make me do.”

“You belong to me, that’s why.” I growl and lift my leg to steady myself before pulling out and spreading her open to watch my cock disappear. “Dragonfly, you take me so fucking well,” I grit out before slamming in to the hilt.

Clara lurches forward until her hands rest on Andrew’s naked flesh. Blood seeps through her fingers, and it’s undeniably hot as fuck.

“Don’t stop, I’m going to come again.”

I never intended to stop slamming into her and reach beneath us to swipe my fingertips over her clit. When she squeezes down again, I can’t stop and fill her with my come.

“Just like that, such a good job,” I whisper. As much as I want to give her another round, I am aware Curt will be here soon, and I pull out. “What do you want, Clara?”

“Make me come again, please,” she begs.

Leaning back on my heels, I slide two fingers into our combined juices within her and rub her clit, and as she humps my hand, my dick throbs for more. Adding another finger, I fuck her until she clamps down on my digits.

“Fuck yes,” she screams.

“Perfect, let’s get out of here, Dragonfly.”

“I don’t have any clothes, you ripped them. What are we going to do? My prints are all over him now! Fuck, I’m stupid.” Clara’s face drains of colour.

“Nope, I know a guy. He’s scheduled to be here within an hour. I got this covered. No one will ever tie you to this piece of shit. Not like this.” I get up and pull my jeans on before doing them up.

“My clothes are still fucked.”

I hand her my hoodie and slip on my shirt. Clara drowns in the fabric, but it covers everything it needs to. I grab her blood-covered hand and leave the knife next to his body.

“Any parting words?”

“I’ve said everything I need to,” she whispers. Her gait wobbles, and I know the adrenaline is going to run out.

On our way home, Clara is silent, and I worry about her. I run my fingers over her bare leg, trying to keep her in the present, but she doesn’t respond. When we get to the front door, she stumbles over the first step, and I pick her up and cradle her against my chest. Walking up to the bathroom, I set her on the counter before drawing a warm bath.

“You did so good,” I tell her.

After I shed my clothes, I turn to her and watch the tears fall down her cheeks.

“Why does it feel bad, then?”

“Sometimes, it doesn’t live up to the image you had in your head, but you were and are so fucking strong. I wouldn’t want to get on your bad side. Clara, you are fucking powerful, and no one can take that away from you. Not Andrew, Ryan, or even me.”

I unzip the hoodie she is wearing and place it, along with her bra, on the pile of clothes next to the door.

“I’m exhausted.”

I pick her up and bring her to the bath. Laying her into the water, I get in behind her and rub the cloth through the bubbles before trailing it over her skin.

“It’s tiring being a complete badass. We’ll get you cleaned up and fed, and then we deserve a good night’s sleep.” I kiss hershoulder and continue to wash the blood off of her. She’s so fucking exquisite, and I can’t express the feelings that bubble in my heart. “You have a power over me. Have for years. I don’t know how to control it, but I’d walk to the ends of the earth if that’s what you wanted.”

Clara relaxes against my chest, and for the first time in my life, it’s like the puzzle pieces fit right. That even though I waited for her, it all came together when it needed to and not a moment before.
