He’d released my neck and my arms, and he gripped my hips, leaving me to grab onto the blankets as I fought to breathe. Fought to remember exactly why I wouldn’t do as he asked.

His pace became punishing. His balls slapped against my pussy as he took me over and over. I moaned and cried out as he pushed me over and over again.

His strong hands were the only thing keeping me standing now.

“Good girl, Rylee. Taking everything I give you.”

I didn’t think I could take more, but I couldn’t cry out in protest. I was caught between the feeling of euphoric pleasure and reality that surely my body couldn’t take anymore.

“I love you, Rylee Klein. You. Are. Mine.”

As he said those words, he grunted and pulsed inside of me, filling me with the heat of him and the weight of more than just his body.

THIRTY-EIGHT

Rylee was still passedout on my bed as I dialed Zeid.

“Is X with you?”

I shut my bedroom door behind me as I grabbed water from the faucet.

“Yeah. He’s here. Where should we start? Your sixth sense for this shit is pretty fucking creepy.”

I smiled. My sixth sense, as they’d called my natural ability to smell out the shit in the world, had gotten us here.

“Yeah, well, what can I say? So start with the shit that the PI was claiming. What did you find from that fucking briefcase?”

I knew that this little honeymoon would end too soon, but for the moment, they had shit handled. What we didn’t have a handle on was the death of a judge and this fucking PI. That detective wasn’t sitting right with me, and it was for more than just his attempt to hurt what was mine.

“Zeid, hello?”

He cleared his throat.

“Yeah. All that shit? It’s all true. There is a rich as fuck grandfather out there. He owns the White Building and other properties. The thing is though, nothing new has been boughtsince the females in that family have died. Or, rather, been killed I’m sure.”

The last bit tracked.

“Lots of coverups have happened with this paper trail. The PI had only scratched the surface. It looked like nothing was paid since a small retainer fee about a year ago.”

I took a sip of the water.

“That was about the time I pulled the money from the aunt.”

I mulled that over.

“That was about the time I had to take care of her and her big fucking mouth.”

I heard a gasp behind me.

“You really did kill her?”

I turned around and regretted the way she’d heard the truth. I didn’t regret the truth.

“I don’t know what you think you know, but yes and no.”

Emotions played across her face like a movie in fast forward, and I was just waiting to get to the end.
