“Please. I’m sorry. Don’t—”

“Shut your fucking mouth,” I snapped. “You’re only allowed to open it when I shove my dick down your throat. Now, eyes on my cock, Butterfly. Watch me give myself the pleasure you epically failed to do today.”

She sucked in a breath and cried more ugly tears while she did as I demanded, her gaze glued to my dick glistening with precum.

The anger, the rage, the jealousy—it all swirled like a vortex of poison inside my gut. But it didn’t stop me from working my cock, chasing my release while I watched Hope witness my pleasure with tears in her eyes. The raw sadness that painted her expression made my dick impossibly hard because I might not have had that one happy moment she experienced today, but I sure as fuck would have the saddest.

With my hips thrusting, my fist jerking harder and faster, I felt the depraved lust ignite the flame of pleasure at the top of my spine, rushing down and slamming against my balls.

I came. Hard. And I growled as the pressure tightened around every muscle, threatening to snap like a rubber band. I shot the white ribbons of cum between her breasts, on her pebbled nipples, and down her stomach—marking her beneath me. For those few moments, I allowed everything I had tried so hard to fight against, consume me. The darkness, demons, and wickedness engraved in my birthright—it thrived and relished in her fear and grief. Her torment took hold of me, and it was fucking liberating.

I looked down and wasn’t the least bit surprised when I saw that familiar corrupt hunger replace the tears in her eyes. She watched me, and the way her lips parted was proof that my warped sense of possessiveness over her fed her, satisfied her. It fucking turned her on. No matter how many happy memories she relived, she remained my butterfly.

My perversions nurtured her depravities.

Breathing rapidly, sweat beading at my temples, I placed my hand between her tits, slowly spreading my cum around her nipples, pinching hard and earning a heady moan from her lips. “You might bask in the beauty of the world, find joy in other things but me—but you and I both know that only I can give you what you truly need.” I dragged my cum down…down…down, keeping her gaze and biting my bottom lip as I reached between her legs and slipped my fingers drenched in cum through her slit. And I wasn’t the least bit surprised to find her warm cunt wet and throbbing for me.

“You feel that?” I murmured. “Even my cruelty turns you the fuck on.”

Abruptly I jerked her legs apart, her moan filling the emptiness around us. I bent down, spread her pussy lips with my thumb and forefinger, and slipped my tongue through her slick heat, licking her cunt with one slow, long stroke before sucking her clit hard. Her hips bucked off the mattress in a desperate attempt for more. But I gripped her hips and pushed down as I lifted my mouth from her pussy, meeting her desperate, heady gaze with a demanding glare. “You will not come tonight or any other night for a really long time.”

A sob escaped her.

“I want to see your hunger weaken you. I want to witness your desire shackle you until you cannot fucking breathe while your depravity chokes the life out of you. Maybe then you’ll realize thatIam your moon and your goddamn sun. Not yourbig brother. It’s me. For-fucking-ever.”

“Please,” she whispered, and I could already hear her pain, the agony echoing in her trembling voice. Already she was craving me, needing her fix to settle the anxiety that would soon set in. But, like every other goddamn pet, she too required reminding as to where her fucking place was—and to respect her owner.

Me.

Chapter 10

Icontinuously clicked the pen in my hand as I silently sat across from the man who had been the head of my father’s security for as long as I could remember. Xander Stone preferred to be called X and was one scary, ugly motherfucker. A scar stretched down his face from his right eye down to his chin. He never told anyone how he got it, but I knew it was my father’s handiwork. X disobeyed one of my father’s cardinal laws.Never touch what is his.That scar was his atonement for being young and stupid by raping one of Victor’s girls. It amazed me how my father had mutilated this man yet had his unwavering loyalty. X had devoted most of his life to my father, and the day Victor got buried six feet underground, X had sworn the same kind of dedication and loyalty toward me. Even though I was reluctant to keep X as my head of security, I had no choice. Because of X’s knowledge of our family’s allies and enemies, I needed him. Only X had the connections to get the information I needed—which was why we were having this little get-together today.

“You’re sure it’s here with him, in Chicago?” I asked, righting myself in my seat, elbows on my desk.

X nodded. “Yes, sir. I have it on good authority that he doesn’t leave Russia without it. Whenever he travels, it travels with him.” X took a sip of his bourbon. “He’ll be staying at The Waldorf Astoria Hotel. I’m one hundred percent sure he’ll have it safely tucked away in a vault.”

I leaned back. “Yes, I’m sure he will. Son of a bitch won’t let something like that just lay around. He’s got the one thing that can destroy me, and he knows it. Fucker.”

Just thinking about it made me feel nervous and edgy, feelings I wasn’t accustomed to. I never felt insecure or threatened—which was why this plan couldn’t fail.

There was a soft knock on the door, and I glanced at my wristwatch. “Fucking guy is punctual as hell,” I muttered and looked at the door. “Come in.”

Colton strolled in wearing his jeans with a buttoned-down shirt. Clearly, the man didn’t feel the need to hide behind sleek suits and silk ties. The man was as plain and uncharismatic as a fucking street dog. But he was determined...very determined.

“You wanted to see me.”

I nodded. “Take a seat. We have a lot to discuss.”

Colton peered at X and took a seat.

“Colton, you know X, my head of security?”

“I’ve heard of him.” Colton looked at X. “But funny enough, I haven’t seen you around much.”

X cocked a brow. “Why is that funny?”

Colton shrugged. “With you being head of security and all. Shouldn’t you be around more, maybe assist with the fuck load of deliveries that have been taking place the past few nights?”
