I need to hear her say it. I need to know that this is not something she wanted or asked for. That it’s her worst nightmare, and Pierce turns her stomach sour when he’s nearby.

That he’s never touched her.

Never tasted her.

Never touched her lips or gazed into the blue abyss as his cock slides inside her snug channel.

Instead, she presses her lips together and rage begins to boil deep inside me.

I’m going to fucking kill him.

“Kyra,” I growl, as my hand grips her hip and I sit up, flipping her so she’s underneath me.

“Maddox. Don’t,” she warns softly. “You know you have to return me to him.”

NO!

“I don’t have to do fucking anything.”You are safer with me.“He’s a fucking monster. Don’t you dare lie and tell me you love him after I consumed every inch of your body last night.”

She sucks in a breath.

I grip her hair. “Tell me the truth.”

She both flinches at the pain and lifts her body to meet mine.

I moan and curse simultaneously.

“If you want my cock again, little prisoner, you need to start talking.”

“It won’t change anything. Please Maddox.”

“That’s where you’re wrong. It changes everything. Now say it. Are you in love with my father?”

Her blue globes dart around my face, then lock with mine.

“Yes.”

KYRA

MADDOX ROARS WHEN I answer and flies off me and out of bed. I tug the duvet over me, clutching it at my chest as I sit up.

“Liar!” He growls, pulling on his clothes.

“I’m...it’s true,” I whisper.

I need Maddox to believe me, even though it’s the biggest lie I’ve ever told. I can’t stay here with him. He’s holding me prisoner. And from the way he’s behaving, I think he’s a little bit insane.

Wait—he’s a kidnapper—he’s a wholelotinsane.

Except the way he touched me, held me, fucked me last night was the most sexual night of my life. His power, his manhood, his beautifully tattooed body calls out to me.

I crave him like I’ve never felt for another man.

The way his large hands maneuver me with ease, his tongue teasing and pleasuring me, and those silver eyes that send butterflies scattering in my tummy.
