Page 85 of All Your Hate
Something akin to grief washes over his face and I think he’s about to say no.
“I’ll do it.”
“Really?” I can’t hide the surprise in my tone.
“Yes. I’ll do what I can. But if you want to stop your own conscience from eating away at you, you’re going to need to protect her from them yourself.”
I look over at Grayson and take in Bones’ words.
He’s right. As much as I want to hand the reins over to Bones, plunging those pliers into Grayson’s eye felt morbidly good.
“Okay, but as long as we have the deal you’re not allowed to fuck anyone else.”
“There will never be anyone else.” He runs the backs of his fingers over my cheek.
“And you can’t share me or make me have sex with your friends.” I no longer think he would, but he’s a master manipulator and I don’t want him twisting this deal around later on.
Tucking my hair behind my ear, he gives me a lopsided smile that melts my heart. “Wynter, if I ever do anything to hurt you like that I want you to kill me yourself.”
My fingers curl into his warm chest and I try not to break down from this new unknown feeling of being so wanted. “You make sure Summer’s safe and I’ll be yours. Do we have a deal?”
His lips spread into a wicked grin. “Seal it with a kiss and I’m yours.”
Without hesitation, I bring my lips to his and make the deal.

“You’re going out? I want to come too.” Wynter catches me as I’m getting ready for the day in the bathroom.
I’m just applying a little bit of eyeliner as I tell her, “It’s another meeting. You’d be bored to death. Believe me, they call themboardmeetings for a reason.”
As I tie my hair into a top knot, I catch her reflection in the mirror. Her eyes are cast downward.
“What’s wrong?” When I turn to her she finally looks up.
“Nothing. It's just that since what happened at Grayson’s place I thought…I thought I’d be allowed out again.”
“You have everything you need here.” There's no reason why she can’t come with me. I have the tracker in her after all. It’s just the thought of her being outside without me that makes my skin itch.
“I don’t want to sit around all day reading or watching movies..”
She pushes her bottom lip out as she steps towards me and places her palms on my chest.
“Use the gym,” my voice is rough with sudden sexual tension. The simple touch of her fingers alone is enough to steal my every thought.
“I did this morning.” She bats her eyelids this time. Her hands trailing down toward my rock-hard cock. We may have made the deal so I can fuck her whenever I like, but it feels like it’s the other way around. I still can't believe she offered herself up to me like that. If she had asked me to find her sister I would have said yes. She didn't have to strike a bargain. But I'm a selfish fucker and wasn't about to turn down a good thing.
“Little viper. Teasing me is not going to get you what you want.” I grab her wrists to stop her from unzipping me.
“Yes it is,” she says huskily. This is too cruel. I bet her pussy is dripping for me.
“You could leave the door unlocked and I could explore outside?”
“No.” The word quickly fires out. “You’re not to go outside without me.”
She groans and steps away from me into the bedroom. “What’s the point in having this thing in my back if you’re still going to be there any time I’m out?”
