“Wow. Charming.”
“I know, thanks.”
I roll my eyes but don’t resist the urge to smile.
“I told you to stop doing that.”
“No, dictator.”
He grunts. “You and that fucking no word. I swear I’m going to fuck it out of your system one of these days.”
“You can try.” I pause then clear my throat. “So, I have a hypothetical question.”
“Don’t ask it.”
“Come on. I’m curious.”
“Shoot.”
“If one day, I choose someone else over you, will you let me go?”
“I’d slice their throat, make you watch then claim you in their blood.”
A shiver runs through me. “What happened to repressing?”
“Not in thathypotheticalsituation.” His voice darkens. “Were you contemplating turning it to reality, baby? Hmm? Think that will get me off your case?”
“No, I mean, Cherry said if I choose someone else you’ll never touch me again.”
“That applies to everyone else but you. Listen carefully, baby. I’llneverlet you go.”
A shudder goes through me, but instead of fear, the feeling that invades me is so similar to relief.
A splash of water soaks us and I gasp, pushing away from Killian.
“I say, you two either get a fucking room or get in here!” Nikolai, the culprit, shouts.
“Be right back, baby. Give me five minutes to kill the fucker.” Killian removes his wet shirt and jumps into the pool, and I laugh as he wrestles with his cousin in the water, with Jeremy and Gareth trying to break up the fight.
My phone vibrates and I think it’s Cecily since I promised to go shopping with her.
Instead, I find a text.
Unknown Number:Careful who you fraternize with, bitch.

“Sleep tight and have an erotic dream where I’m eating your tight little pussy for dinner, baby.” I peek through my car window. “Or filling it with my cum. Either would do.”
Glyndon comes to a halt and searches our surroundings for possible eavesdroppers, then glares at me.
I love it when she glares. It’s my Glyndon’s love language.
And because I love it, I push, “Unless you changed your mind and would rather spend the night in my bed, which is five stars, highly recommended?”
“Dream on.”
