A killer was after her, but for a few minutes at least, we’d been able to get lost in our love for one another, and it would be a moment I’d cherish until I took my last breath. I’d lost her once before, and I refused to do it again.

“I love you, DeeDee.”

She relaxed further into my body, wrapping my arm tighter around her middle. “I love you too, Rey.”

If I hadn’t been so content being wrapped around her body, I would’ve gotten up and done a damn dance. Even though I knew she still loved me, I hadn’t about thought of how the words would affect me when she finally said them—if she ever said them again. I’d missed hearing it.

“We only have a few minutes before Amir shows up,” I mumbled against the hair.

She sighed, and I understood exactly how she felt. I wished we could stay this way, at least for the day before the shit hit the fan, but we couldn’t because a madman had his eyes on her.

“You take the master bathroom,” I pecked her on the lips before sliding out of bed, “and I’ll take the guest.”

“Why don’t you take the master bathroom with me?” she asked, standing.

I perused her naked body. Nothing had really changed other than her hips were a little wider and her thighs a little thicker. Damn, she was exquisite.

“Because if we take a shower together, we’re not coming out any time soon.”

“And what’s so wrong with that?” she replied, walking toward the bathroom with a little more sway in her hips.

I groaned, licking my lips at the gorgeous sight of her round ass. My cock hardened, and I stroked it as she looked over her shoulder.

“Amir can wait,” I mumbled and rushed over to her as she dashed into the bathroom, laughing.

I couldn’t wait until this was all over. There was no way Dana was going back to her life without me in it.

Chapter eight

The Infinity Killer

One…two…three…four...wanthimdead.

I pounded the sides of my head, then pulled on the curly strands of my hair to get them to quiet down so I could focus.

Kill him…kill him.SHE IS OURS!

“Shut the fuck up!” I paced just out of sight, seething, watching the love of my life fuck another man through the open blinds. “I can’t fucking think when all of you are talking at one time.”

FOUR will not be quiet. SHE IS OURS…kill him! Take her! Take her now!

“Shut up for just one minute,” I growled through clenched teeth. “One minute of silence so I can fucking breathe. So, I can think.”

I wanted to take her, andtheywere right. She was ours, but I had to be careful now that she was back. I let her know it was time for her to come home so we could spend eternity together. Trying to get her attention was tiresome. These bitches only wanted the pleasure my rope provided, but all I wanted was her. Now, it was time to take what was mine.

You’re a fucking idiot. You let him take her. Now he’s fucking what is OURS!

“Shut up! I know what I’m doing!”

In a few hours, I would put our plan into motion.

Fuck the plan! Take her! She is ours!

Theywouldn’t stop talking until it was done, but I needed to stay strong.

“Stick to the plan, Harold. Stick to the plan.”

The other cop I despised, Amir Shaw, pulled up at the perfect time. Although I had no problem with him, he would be the key to getting Dana. I followed his every move, trying to find the perfect opportunity to strike. Now was definitely the time.
