“You do? Even after all this?” she asks seemingly surprised.

“Judging by the fact that you’re the one here and not them I’m going to assume you did what you had to.” Elena nods. “I’m so fucking proud of you.”

“I’m all for this happy reunion, but, Elena, can you untie us,” Brooks grumbles beside us.

“Oh, yeah.” Elena giggles as she runs over to where Brooks is, produces a knife, and slices the ropes from his hands and ankles. “Sophie is in the safe room with her family, you can let them know the house is secure, but Max and Sergei need urgent medical attention. Sergei’s been shot and his arm is shattered, and my brother’s leg is shattered, and he’s passed out from the pain. There are also a couple of dead bodies in the garden, Anna and Damon’s bodies in the pool house, one near the garage, and Dmitri is dead in the living room,” she explains.

Brooks stills. “You killed all of them by yourself?”

Elena smiles at him. “Of course.”

Brooks shakes his head. “Fuck, mad respect to you. Good luck with that one, brother.” He grins at me and disappears out of the shed.

I clear my throat. “Um, babe, can you untie me?”

Elena looks over at me. “Seeing you tied up like that is kind of hot,” she muses, biting her bottom lip.

“Me all bloodied up, tied to a chair is hot?” I repeat back to her.

She produces the knife and swings it in her hands before straddling me on the chair.

“Elena,” I say her name in warning.

“Yes?” She grins at me before leaning back and slicing the rope from my ankles. Thank goodness, I get some feeling back in them as I shake them out. She sits there for a moment slowly rubbing herself against me.

“Kitty, please untie me.”

“You love me?” she asks.

“With all of my heart,” I tell her. And I mean it. In that moment, when I thought it was all over and my life flashed before my eyes, the only regret I had was that I was too chicken shit to tell her how I felt about her. That I was going to die, and she wouldn’t know that I loved her.

“I need you,” she whispers.

“Now?”

“Yes, I just need you,” she begs.

“I’m tied up?”

She swings that knife with skill and precision and slices the ropes holding my wrists to the chair. I give my hands a couple of stretches and then they are on her, she yelps when I hit her shoulder which is still dripping blood all over her.

“You need to see a doctor,” I tell.

“I need you inside me, please, just … I can’t explain it. I thought I’d lost you and I need to know I haven’t,” she pleads with me.

“I’m yours, kitty, take what you need,” I tell her, because I have that same itch, too, that needs to be scratched. I can’tbelieve she’s alive, I thought I had lost her forever after only just finding her. I feel that same need as she does to feel connected, to know that all this was just a bad dream and that we’ve come through it, together. She pulls out my hard cock, thank fuck she is wearing a dress, as she slides her underwear to the side and gently slides onto my cock. We both hiss, as my hands grip her ass and pull her harder against me.

“You’re stuck with me for life, Nash Madden,” Elena declares as she rides me.

“You’re stuck with me for life, you think you can handle that?” I ask her.

“Yes.” She grins as she continues to rock herself against me.
