Pulling back the hammer, theclickwas loud in the small space between us. I stared at him, waiting for him to comply.

“No safety on your gun?” He chuckled. “That’s not very safe, Francesca.”

“I never arm myself without being fully prepared to kill someone,” I said softly, pushing the gun into his skin just a little bit harder. “I amalwaysprepared to pull the trigger and we both know I never miss.”

His eyes flashed and a growl filled the car, so deep and low I thought I’d imagined it until he grabbed the barrel of my gun and effortlessly ripped it from my hand.

The cold metal was pressed to my temple before I could react and his entire body was pushing down on me. He wasso strongdespite the awkward position and I stared into those blood-red eyes, wondering if this was it.

Was he finally going to kill me?

I closed my eyes, feeling relieved for some reason.

Leo had every right to hate me. He had every fucking right on the planet to end my life and honestly, it was the least I could do for him. Theonlything I could do for him.

How pathetic was it that the only gift I could give him was the end of my existence?

“Fight back.” His deep voice was everywhere and nowhere. Like he was trying to command me deep underwater. “Don’t give up so easily, Francesca. It’spathetic.”

I could get out of this, but what was the point when he was right?

Lucy didn’t need me anymore, and despite our arrangement, River didn’t need me either. She was the master of her own universe and I was nothing more than a willing pawn.

But now that he was back…maybe I could finally stop trying so hard.

“You fucking bitch.Lookat me.”

I opened my eyes, seeing nothing but fury in those blood-red eyes. If I was being honest…seeing him angry like this gave me peace.

Leo wasn’t as different as I thought he might be if he ever decided to come back.

There was something wrong with me because I slid my gaze from his eyes to his mouth, refusing to give him what he wanted, even now.

He leaned into me, annoyed that I was ignoring him, but he thrived on it too.Lovedthat I kept rejecting him. Always used to say that it would make the moment I finally gave in all the sweeter.

I’d never admit how much it scared me that he was so confident I would.

His weight shifted until his whole body surrounded me – reminding me that he would always be stronger. Bigger.

But I wasn’t just meaner, I wascruel.

“I’m back?—”

“Whyare you back?” I interrupted him, lifting my gaze to his nose.

“I was ordered to return.” Leo moved so he was a fraction closer, but he was so careful not to touch me more than he needed to. “So, here I am.”

“Such a good boy,” I murmured, noting the way his entire body stiffened at that, including his cock. “But notmygood boy, are you?”

His silence was more telling than anything else.

Leo was almost trembling now, thanks to just how carefully he held his body above mine. He was desperately trying to hold himself back, but it wouldn’t take much to push him into losing it.

Part of me wanted to, but I couldn’t afford to take responsibility for the aftermath.

“Just say the word, Frankie…and I’ll be your soldier, not your father’s.”

I pushed myself so far down in my head that I disconnected from this moment, forcing myself to pretend I was anywhere but here to hide just how much that declaration shook me to my core.
