“I have enough information to find him on my own.” I was bluffing, but Xavier didn’t realize that. I tossed the little white pill at him, and it landed on the floor out of his reach.

He stretched as far as his body would let him and attempted to crawl to it, his fingers grabbing for it like a greedy child.

“That should keep him busy for a while. Let’s go.” I took Ella by the arm and led her out of the room. Once the door was shut, she looked up at me.

“Do you believe him?”

“I’m not sure. I need to chat with Dope and tell him what I’ve learned between John and Xavier. If anyone can find the man I’m looking for, it will be him.”

I leaned down and kissed my little lamb before I brushed my nose along her ear. “As soon as I know where to find him, I’ll give you another gift.”

She grabbed my biceps and nipped at my neck. “Really?”

I straightened and placed my finger beneath her chin. “Yes, Xavier is yours to kill.”

“Even if he’s your brother?”

A chuckle rumbled through my chest. “Especially if he is my brother.”

“As long as you’re sure.” She pressed her hips into mine. “I’ve missed you. I’ve missed what we share.”

I slid my hand around her neck, my thumb rubbing up and down her sensitive skin. My cock hardened with the fantasy I’d had earlier about her in John’s blood, sucking me dry.

“Come with me.” We walked down the hall to where I’d killed John just hours ago. When I entered the room, his body was gone, but the blood had congealed on the floor. I closed the door behind us and grinned at her.

“You were here earlier with Sebastian.”

She nodded. “Yes. I was.”

“Do you think he’ll ever come to terms with who I am?” I strolled over to the partially dried blood and swiped my fingers through it, staining them red. I motioned for Ella to join me. She did as she was told, and I smeared the blood over her throat. With a quick jerk, I ripped her shirt open, the buttons flying across the room and pinging off the cement floor. Her chest heaved, the swell of her full breasts peeking out from the black satin bra.

“Would you miss him if he were gone?” I asked, my voice hovering above a whisper. The smell of her arousal mixed with fear about Sebastian was intoxicating. I stepped closer to her, our bodies touching, and I could feel her heart pounding. “Or would you welcome the freedom that comes with his absence?”

Ella licked her lips and locked her gaze on mine. She didn’t answer, but the look in her eyes told me everything I needed to know. I traced the line of her jaw with my bloody fingers, feeling the heat of her skin under my touch. “You don’t want him to be gone,” I whispered, my breath warm against her ear. “But you also want me.”

She shivered, the desire and desperation tangible between us. I pressed myself against her, the evidence of my own desire straining against my jeans. “I can give you what he won’t.” Nipping at her earlobe with my teeth, I added, “I can give you everything you need.”

Ella moaned softly, a low sound that seemed to reverberate through my entire body.

“I want both of you. I can’t choose.”

It wasn’t the answer that I wanted, but her response hadn’t surprised me either. Threading my fingers through her long, dark hair, I gripped it and forced her to her knees in the pool of blood.

I stepped away from her, allowing some space between us. “Do you remember who you serve, my little whore?”

She looked up at me, her green eyes full of longing. “Only you.”

“That’s right. Crawl to me, Ella. Show me how much you want to worship the only man that sees who you truly are—my hungry slut ready to serve her god. I have the power to give you anything you want, but you’ll have to earn it.”

She glanced at the floor, then got on all fours and crawled through the thickest part of the congealed blood. Her hands grew slick with John’s sin, and the corners of my lips twitched as I watched her. Once she was before me, she stopped.

I cupped her chin and tilted it up. “Undo my jeans and free my cock.”

My little lamb flipped open the button and lowered the zipper. I wrapped my fingers around my shaft and stroked myself.

“Open your mouth and suck me.”

Her lips parted, and I rubbed the tip of my dick along her lower lip. She ran her tongue across the smooth skin. She sucked lightly, coating my skin with her saliva. I grabbed the back of her head so she couldn’t jerk away as I shoved my shaft into her mouth and down her throat. Her cheeks turned red as I mercilessly fucked her. Tears gathered in her eyes as she attempted to breathe around my girth, but it wasn’t helping.
