“Yes.”
“Why do you not value your life?”
I froze, a million thoughts racing through my brain.
Could Cameron have told him? Had they talked that long? Surely he’d not shared my most sacred secret…that dreadful, shameful secret.
My death wish.
“What do you mean?” I shook my head, trying to make the blindfold slip so I could see his face, read his meaning.
“Cameron accepted you into his club for one reason, Scarlet.”
“Because he knew I’d make a great submissive.”
“Because he saw you in the ER having your stomach pumped. That was before you trespassed into his club.”

“What are you doing? Danton!”
“Giving you what you want.”
“I don’t understand.”
“I’m Danton Belfort, the bringer of death. That’s why they sent you to me. So that you are put out of your misery.”
Shock chilled my bones.
His ironclad grip tightened around my throat. “It’s a pity. You’re such a pleasure to fuck.”
The air rushed out of me. I couldn’t think, couldn’t fight back. I was drowning in fear.
And I’d been so wrong.
