“Louder.”
“I love you.”
“Don’t stop.”
“I love you.”
Those three words were Kody’s currency. They were the dealer to her demands, the wish for her every want, and the dominant to her darkest desires. Those words were the key to unlock my monster or calm him completely. Right now, all he wanted was to claim her in the most possessive way there was, and there was no way in hell I was holding him back.
“God, I fucking love you too. Do you have any idea what you do to me?”
I pounded into her damn-near mercilessly. Her lips parted to answer, but my hand covered her mouth as I held firm, slamming and grinding my cock into her. Anything to make her see. To make her feel the overwhelming emotion she sparked inside of me. Disappearing into work was easy. Looking and taking down these men…it kept the suffocation away. I couldn’t run from my feelings when I wasn’t distracted, and neither could she. Kody was getting all of that with me. Stopping the intensity was impossible. Ignoring or sidetracking it was only a delay—a building of the inevitable.
“Jase. Say yes. J-Jase.”
Lowering, I slowed, nuzzling along her neck until I hovered just over her ear.
“Please. Oh, God. Jase.God!”
“Come.”
And she did. Screams filled the room as spasms had her tightening around me. I kept my thrusts slow, adding pressure over her clit with each grind of my hips. Only when she started coming down did I let myself go completely. I went back to fucking her hard, losing myself in her moans. In her wetness, and the way she fit to me perfectly. I surrendered a part of me I didn’t even know I had left as she cried out my name. We were both lost to each other, maybe even to the world as my cum shot deep inside of her.
Words. Whispers. Work. It all spun in my mind as I cleaned us up and snuggled her close. Despite feeling as if I had everything I could have wanted, something was off. There was something missing. Sleep beckoned, but my mind raced.
Light snores lured me into the shadows of my mind. I was taken to the days I was a prisoner of war. Back when cutting me open wasn’t punishment enough for my sins. Not to me anyway. Those days traveling from cave to dark cave, I’d longed for death. Not before my men, but if I could have gotten the remaining ones free…I had been prepared to pay the price for the ones I couldn’t save.
“Holy shit, man, you’re back. Are you okay? They had you a long time. I must have dozed off. Colter? Jase?”
“I’m fine, Rian. Go back to sleep.”
My voice sounded strangled and raw as I squeezed my eyes shut through the pain.
“I can’t. Someone has to say it. We’re all thinking it. This isn’t your fault. It was supposed to be a shortcut, Colter, you didn’t know they’d be waiting for us. Jase, can you turn over and look at me. Where are your clothes?”
“They’re going to bring me something later. Enough. I don’t want to talk about any of this, Rian. Let it go.”
“Not until you turn over and hear what I’m saying. You didn’t know this would happen. Hell, I would have followed the same route Jammas suggested. We thought he was our friend, Jase. Jase.”
“Stop!” I turned, growling as the pain nearly caused me to pass out. My chest and stomach were obliterated from the torture I’d been through and at the horror on Rian’s face, it cemented in even more.“I did this. Just…let it go. It’s done. The only thing that should be on any of our minds is finding you all a way out of here. Go to sleep, Rian. Sleep.”
Sleep.
Sleep.
“Rian.” My eyes flew open, and I eased myself free of Kody as I headed for my phone.Three missed calls.Just as I had suspected, my best friend’s number was on the screen. I hit voicemail, glancing over at Kody as she rolled to her back, burying half of her face under her bicep as she slept.
“Hey, Jase. I’m a few blocks from the house. I think…maybe someone’s following me. I’ve taken precautions and am headed towards the freeway. I called Warez and left a voicemail. I’m sure it’ll be fine, I just thought I’d give you all a heads up.”
The thundering in my chest left me shaky as I hit the next message and grabbed my jeans. I pushed my legs in, rushing from the room as Rian’s voice filled my ear again.
“Jase, I was right. I’m definitely being followed. I’m headed out of the city at an insanely fast speed. They’re right on my ass. I can’t get ahold of Rush either. Where the fuck is everyone?”
I hit the next message racing to my computer to pull the tracking on Rian’s phone.
“Jase! Jase, they got me! Motherfuckers ran me off the road. I…I’m bleeding. I think I’m hurt pretty bad. Fuck. I’m trapped. I can’t get out of my car. They’re coming. They’re fucking coming, Jase!”
The line went dead as adrenaline slammed through me. I hit Rian’s number, cursing as it went straight to voice mail. The computer was still loading as I called Rush. Three rings sounded before a groggy voice answered.
