Page 64 of Sinful Bargain

“You took down a Lowtown thug, and because of you, we have Britney.”

He bends, his teeth clamping around my earlobe, tugging gently.

Fuck, how he brings me from zero to horny bitch in the blink of an eye is beyond me.

He makes quick work of my clothes, baring my flesh for his consumption.

I spread my legs and pull him closer, so that the bulge in his pants is pressed firmly against my center.

He’s not as attentive as he normally is. He’s savage, unleashing his girth and thrusting into me with the unrepentant lust only a sinner can possess.

And I take it all, greedy for more.

“You’re mine—always,”he rasps.“Mine to protect.”Thrust.“Mine to devour.”Thrust.“Mine to fill.”

“Yours…”

That I should want to be owned after all I’ve been through is twisted, but I want nothing so badly as to be marked by him, here, now, and throughout all of eternity.

Epilogue

BROOKE

While I love the Keep and being a ‘Kept Woman’, the fact that it is so large and with so few people gives it an eerie feeling that I hope will lessen over time.

I locate Selina and Suki already seated at a table and rush over to them, excited for female companionship.

I take a seat next to Suki. “You two are always here before me.”

“It’s because we drop off the kids before coming,” Selina says.

“Is that hard for you two? Saying goodbye.”

“It is, but I know how important it is that Jayne gains some independence from me. Besides, there are some great kids, and Eva is amazing with them.”

Suki shrugs. “The boys are happy, so why should I be sad?”

“That’s a good way to look at it.”

Gabe bends to kiss me on the temple. “I’ll see you in a bit.”

As soon as he’s out of sight, Selina asks, “So, how are things working out between you two?”

After a week of being here, I keep waiting for the ah-ha moment. Where I wake back up in the terrible world I left behind.

“It’s almost too perfect, which is terrifying, because I have so much to lose.”

“I know the feeling, which is why it’s so important we take our mission seriously,” Selina says. “Not just the baby making part.”

After what happened to me at the club, Cole insisted all the women learn proper self defense, so that’s how we spend our mornings.

Clint, the resident martial arts expert, teaches us for an hour, then we are supposed to workout, to help support his teachings.

Luckily, none of the men get jealous of him because he is as gay as gay can get.

Selina lifts her head and looks across the room. “Oh, look who decided to show up.”

Gage is perp walking Remi to the table as she grumbles her distress.
