I lick my lips.

I have to end it too soon.

I hold her against the wall with one arm.

“When I tell the McCarthys—” she starts.

“They’re not coming to save you,” I whisper in her ear. “They don’t have any use for you anymore. Why do you think I waited until they were done with you? I’ve taken away every single block between you and me.”

Her eyes widen, and she shakes her head, momentarily taken off guard.

“Who are you?”

I give her a patronizing slap to the ass. I relish the sting of pain in my palm and imagine how much better it will be when she’s naked, over my knee. “You know who I am,” I whisper. “You know exactly why I’m here. You’re a smart girl, aren’t you? Sadly, playtime’s over. For now.”

The needle’s in my hand before she can react.

The sharp gasp she releases when it bites into her neck makes my dick hard.

She feels it.

The second the drug hits her system, her struggles weaken. I wrap my hand around the back of her neck, yank her mouth to mine, and kiss her. Hard. Claiming. My tongue touches hers, and her eyes flare with drugged shock.

I’ve had this drug particularly formulated to work with the pills she’s been taking under the guise of sleeping meds.

Her body betrays her instantly.

Her muscles lock, and the fight bleeds out of her.

Our lips are still connected.

She claws weakly at my shirt as we break apart, her voice laced with venom as she begs me to stop.

“Don’t,” she cries, her bravado slipping from her face. “Please.”

“Good girl. There we go.” I catch her before she slumps fully to the ground. Holding her against me feels easy. Natural.

Her body fits against mine.

Made for my arms.

It almost makes me feel soft toward her.

“You’ve been mine for a while,solnyshka.” I brush my lips against her temple, then her ear. “Your cunt. Your womb. Your whole fucking body was meant to be mine. And now, you’ll pay for what you’ve done.”

I carry her nestled in my arms like a baby to where the car waits, idling at the curb. I jerk my head at the driver, and he opens the door.

I slide her inside, tuck a blanket around her, and sit next to her.

Time to take my girl home with me.
