Chapters (41)
I force myself to relax and take a deep, silent breath. I do, though all it does is lower my temperature to a vicious simmer.
She goes back to brushing, humming a tune as she does.
Then she flips off the light and heads to bed.
I watch as she crawls between the sheets then grabs her phone, firing off a few quick texts. Who to? Her fucking lover? My rage tries to swallow me whole again. This time I let it.
I rise slowly. She doesn’t see me, the light from her phone blinding her to anything else in the room.
She nibbles her bottom lip, then smiles a little as a message comes through to her.
I don’t know what the fuck is going on, but I do know that whatever little high school prick she’s talking to isn’t long for this earth. I’m going to find him, and I’m going to make it hurt before I kill him. I’ll do shit to this boy that will make the Butcher go green at the gills.
Advancing on her, I stand by the bed and watch her, the way her fingers race across her screen, the way her tits press perfectly against her top. I want to see her panties again. Fuck, I want them in my goddamn mouth.
But first, she needs to learn a lesson.
The moment she darkens her cell phone and reaches to put it on her nightstand, she gasps, her eyes finally catching sight of someone in her room. That’s when I move, slapping my hand over her mouth as I grab one of her wrists and pin her to the bed, my body covering her as I feel every fucking bit of her forbidden body.

CARINA
For a split second, my heart jumps into my throat, but then the smell of Gilly fills my lungs, and I relax, knowing it’s him that has me pinned to the bed. Damn, his body feels good against me. Since I’ve been pulled back home from school, I've dreamed of moments like this. Ones that had Gilly slipping into my room to have his way with me. So many nights I’ve played that fantasy out in my mind. It’s hard not to when you’re watching the people around you fall in love.
In those fantasy-filled dreams, Gilly and I would enjoy the thrill of it being a secret for a while but then eventually come clean. Obviously, none of that ever happened. He’s not in my room because he wants to be. I’m in trouble. If I had to guess, it’s because he caught me sneaking back into the house. If he had caught me sneaking out, things would have played out differently. I probably never would have made it past the estate wall.
