And then the last huge wave crashed inside her, her entire body quivering with the force. Her soul, her mind, her body, everything shattered into a million pieces of decadent pleasure as ecstasy pulsed through her veins, all the while keeping her eyes locked on Rex’s.

Hunter pulled his hand out of her panties and reached up, now holding both her hands in his. Harder and faster he moved, thrusting inside her, stretching her, pushing her body even further, milking every last drop of pleasure out of her. By the way she felt his cock start to pulse inside her, she knew he was there. He was right there at the edge along with her.

Scarlet couldn’t stop herself. The moment was just too damn powerful for her to stop the words from spilling out. “I love you, Hunter.”

The second those words left her mouth, she looked at Rex, but he was too busy making sure Piper swallowed every last drop he had just given her to even realize what Scarlet had just said.

“Fuck.” A growl rolled out of his mouth and he pushed deeper when she felt him shoot his soul right into her. “Jesus, Scarlet.” He brushed her hair over her neck and placed his lips right against her ear and whispered, “I love you so fucking much.”

It was dirty, it was twisted, but it was fucking powerful.

She felt him relax behind her as his pleasure subsided, the remnants of his release gushing down her thighs. By now she was no longer trying to keep herself up, but gave all her weight to the chains she was bound to.

Hunter pulled out and moved around her. His green eyes were intense, bright, and completely mesmerizing. He took her face between his hands and kissed her like it was the last thing he would ever do.

There was no more pretending, no more playing games for Rex’s amusement. This was Hunter sealing that one powerful moment by kissing her fiercely, claiming her unapologetically.

His lips were soft, yet his kiss was unyielding—his touch gentle, but his ownership over her was unquestionable.

“You are mine, Scarlet,” he said with his lips hovering over hers. “And I am never letting you go.”

Chapter 24

Hunter stared into Scarlet’s blue eyes and felt like the richest man on the fucking planet. He had her. He had all of her, which was worth more than any silver or gold. When he heard her say those words, heard her confess her love for him, he wanted to fall to his fucking knees and thank whichever deity was up there listening.

“You’re beautiful,” he whispered while softly stroking her cheek with his thumb.

She smiled, but he could see she was physically and mentally exhausted.

“Let her down,” he ordered over his shoulder. “Now.”

Rex lifted Piper’s head by her hair. “Let her down.”

Piper scrambled to her feet, her eyes filled with tears—probably from gagging on Rex’s cock for the last twenty minutes.

First, the girl unlocked Scarlet’s ankles from the spreader bar. But when she went for the cuffs around Scarlet’s wrists, she was shaking too much, unable to turn the key in the lock of the cuffs. It was so fucking annoying that it had Hunter reaching up and grabbing it from her hand.

“I’ll do it.”

Hunter unlocked the one cuff then slowly eased her arm down, before doing the same with the other.

In a hurry, he grabbed his jacket and wrapped it around her shoulders. And then Scarlet’s legs gave out under her. He caught her and lifted her off the ground, cradling her in his arms.

He turned to face Rex. “We are done here.”

Rex smiled. “Indeed, we are.” He zipped up his pants. “There’s just one more matter of business we need to attend to.”

Hunter glared holes into the fucker’s skull. “I’m not playing your goddamn games anymore. She’s exhausted, and has been traumatized enough.” He tightened his hold around her.

Rex got up from the chair. “I agree. And it’s clear to me that she does, in fact, belong to you. But our honor code clearly states that when the property of a master has been tarnished by another, the penalty is death.”

“What?”

Rex lifted a dark brow and held his hand out, indicating for the rifle goon to hand him a drink. “Brent. He took something from you, and now you need to take something from him.” He lifted his drink to his mouth and smiled wickedly. “His life.”

God forgive him, but Hunter suddenly liked this asshole.

A racket came from outside the dining room, and suddenly the doors burst open. Brent came rushing through, his freaky eyes glaring at Hunter holding Scarlet in his arms.
