Clearly he was determined to have my attention whether I wanted to give it to him or not. Rolling my eyes, I sighed and focused back on Nazai.
The way he spoke and broke the plan down made me feel like a spy getting ready for a mission. It had my insides buzzing with excitement. True crime, thrillers, and mysteries had always been an obsession of mine, even before my sister’s disappearance, and now I was able to put all the reading and research I’d done to use to help real people.

A moan released from my mouth and I shifted when a warm, wet tongue swiped across my hard nipple. I went to move my hands, but when I realized I couldn’t, I fluttered my eyes open. At first I was confused. After the meeting with the Tavarez family, I came home, went straight to the bedroom, and fell asleep. Slowly, I was beginning to regain my strength, but I found myself more tired than normal. Lucas said it was normal, that my body was still healing after all the trauma it experienced, but I hated feeling tired all the time.
Lifting my head and gazing down, I watched Ezra as he feasted on my breasts.
“What are you doing?” I moaned.
Ignoring me, Ezra cuffed my breast, circled his tongue around my nipple, and pinched the other one.
Flinging my head back, I noticed he had opened the ceiling. I watched as pleasure built between my legs. He had tied my wrists down but at my sides instead of above my head like normal.
“Ezra,” I called out.
His hand moved lower, between my thighs. He brushed over my clit and teased it gently.
“You’ve been walking around here giving me the silent treatment for days and I let you because I know you were upset, but that ends now,” he uttered, his voice gravelly and smoky. He shifted his head and teased my other breast with his mouth while fondling my clit and brushing over my lower lips.
My teeth sank into my bottom lip when he slipped a finger inside me. “I did what I did to protect you, Bumblebee. Why can’t you see that?”
Another moan left my mouth when he skillfully flicked his tongue quickly over my bud and sucked it into his mouth. His finger moved in and out of me. I gasped when he pushed another one inside then another.
“You shouldn’t have done it without my permission,” I struggled to get out.
His fingers pushed deeper inside me. My walls clenched around his digits.
Right now I was upset at Ezra. I didn’t want to enjoy the pleasure he was bringing me but my body was betraying me. It craved his touch, welcomed his tongue and mouth on every inch.
“Love these freckles.” He kissed the tops of my breasts. “Look at me!” he demanded.
Flicking my eyes down, I felt my breath catch at the scalding desire that shone from his low irises. There was an edge of darkness mixed in that made my heart shoot into hyperspeed.
“We’re going to clear this up now.” My body twitched when his fingers rotated and spread. “I try to keep my crazy hidden, but when someone I care about, someone who ismineis harmed, that all goes out the window. In order to keep the monster threatening to break through the barriers at bay, Ineedto know you are out of harm’s way. You calm that rage inside me and keep me grounded.” He leaned up and inhaled deeply. A shiver exploded through me. “I told you in the beginning, I hate having to share you with the world. Now the urge to keep you hidden away so no one else can harm you is clawing at me and every single day I have to force that urge down.” His tongue dragged up my neck. Just inches from my stitches. “Don’t make me release the monster, Bumblebee. It’s been so long since he’s seen the light.”
My hands balled into fists and my eyes rolled to the back of my head as pleasure shot through me like an exploding bomb.
Laying eyes back on Ezra, I inhaled a sharp breath when he brought the fingers that were just inside me, covered in my juices, into his mouth and sucked.
Ezra rolled off me and lay on my side. He stroked his fingers through my hair. Breathing heavily, I closed my eyes, feeling my heart rate increase with each breath.
“Untie me.”
“Are you going to talk to me if I do?”
Making eye contact with him, I swallowed hard and nodded.
His mouth twitched. Ezra reached over me and undid the binds then moved to the hand on the side he was lying on.
It took me a few seconds to gather myself. Ezra watched me patiently, waiting for me to speak again. His hand gently brushed over my skin.
“I don’t want you making decisions for me,” I revealed. “I can admit I should have taken the threats more seriously and it was a miscalculation on my part, but that doesn’t mean I needed you to come in and force me into something I didn’t ask for.”
Pausing, I studied his face. Just like always, his face was unmoving and gave away nothing. It was one of his annoying traits if anyone asked me.
“If I told you that you could go home right now. Would you?” Ezra’s fingers lightly brushed over the stitches on my stomach, causing it to contract.
