A tiny grin curled on my lips. "I want to. That way, you can decide for yourself who the true monster is."

Vic nodded, wiping a tear from my cheek.

"Trevor revealed to me that he had a kink for voyeurism?. He talked me into having sex with other men while he watched and rubbed one off. After the men finished, he would take me. I didn't like having sex with other men,but Iloved that Hobbs wanted me so badly afterward. When I turned eighteen, he talked me into filming porn. But after a few shots, I decided I had enough. I didn't want to sleep with anyone else. I wanted it to be just me and him. I wanted to be his husband and live happily ever after with the man I thought I was so desperately in love with." I groaned. "Trevor wasn't happy with that. He began ignoring me. There were days I didn't see him at all. And shortly after, a young man moved into the apartment I now live in. He was supposed to be the next big thing in gay porn. A bright, shining star." I gritted my teeth in frustration. "His name was Lucien Wittle. A short, perfect little pixie. A power bottom that could take a round of cocks like a champ.

"One day, after I came home from some shopping, I found the little twit on his knees in mine and Trevor’s living room, sucking Trevor's dick. I was furious. All I could see was red. Before they even knew what was happening, I yanked Lucien off Trevor by his hair and kicked him in the face. It shattered most of his teeth and broke his nose, but I didn't stop there. I beat the ever-loving fuck out of him. Trevor had to pull me off. Lucien ended up in the hospital, and I ended up in shackles." Closing my eyes, I drew in a deep, calming breath before concluding, "Lucien is here. I ran into him, which is why I had the panic attack."

"So, you ended up in shackles because of assault."

"I nearly killed a man," I hissed. "All because I was jealous. I loved Trevor more than anything, and I found him getting his cock sucked by some soft little pixie."

Vic got to his feet and held a hand out toward me. Hesitantly, I took it and allowed him to pull me up. "I'm getting you out."

Chapter 17

"The bracelets have trackers in them."

"I'm not talking about running away right now. I'm talking about getting you out of servitude altogether." When I gave him a dumbfounded look, he asked, "How long have you been a servant?"

"Ummm... almost ten years."

"For assault?"

I nodded.

"How much does this Hobbs guy charge for your time?"

"Why?"

"Seriously, what does he charge?"

I shrugged. "I don't know. I know the guy who beat the fuck out of me offered to pay twenty thousand sinders if he could do it again with no rules."

"Twenty thousand?"

I nodded.

Drawing his lips into a thin line, Vic stared at the ground, trapped in deep thought. "I need to get back to work. You need to go mingle and have fun. Just stay away from that Lucien guy. It might take me a while, but I am going to try and figure out how much your debt is and why you haven't been able to pay it off after ten fucking years. I might be able to get Alex to help."

"Don't get caught up in a debt with Alex."

Vic gently ran a thumb over my knuckles. "Alex isn't that bad. He's a really great guy to work for. And he likes you a lot. In all honesty, I don't think he sent me here just to spy on your boss. I think he sent me to keep an eye on you." He grinned. "I think he wishes you would look at him the same way you look at me, though."

I smirked. "The way I look at you, huh?"

"Yeah, it's almost the same way I look at you. Although I think I look more desperate."

I pulled him close to me, locking my lips to his. Vic returned the kiss, and we stayed in that embrace for a long while before he pulled away. "I need to get back to work, and I don't want to do it with a raging hard-on."

I chuckled, "Mmm, Daddy, give it to me."

He rolled his eyes but said seriously, "I mean it. I'm going to get you out of this life."

I wrapped my arms around myself as I watched him leave, and then I spent the rest of the night close to Hobbs. I wanted to run the moment Lucien and his husband entered the circle of people my sponsor was speaking to, but I repressed the urge. Instantly, Isaac was buried deep down, and Starburst came forth with his sassy personality. My indifference toLucien'spresence bothered him deeply. He didn't realize that Starburst couldn't be broken. In fact, Starburst wanted to fuck with the little shit just like he tried to fuck with me.

Pulling away from Hobbs, I sauntered over to the man who was supposedly the wealthiest person in Sin City. Running a hand over his shoulder, I inquired flirtatiously, "You're going to come visit me when we build our club, aren't you, big boy?"

Lucien's cheeks turned red as he stomped toward me. "Keep your slutty hands off my husband."
