His eyes shine with dark sadism and strange satisfaction as I do as he says, partly because I don’t mind this time.
Partly because I don’t actually have a choice.
He retrieves his phone as he wipes a streak of cum from my chin with his fingers before thrusting them inside my mouth again, then whispers, “You can hide from the whole world, but you don’t need to do so in front of me, baby.”

GLYNDON
It takes me a few moments to put my clothes together. My fingers tremble and my body temperature doesn’t seem to get the memo that the fun times are over.
Killian has already tucked himself in, looking as flawless as the devil and just as hedonistic.
Seeming to notice my struggle, he subtly pushes my hand away and glides my bra over my breasts.
“I must say, I prefer undressing you.”
“Why am I not surprised?”
“Because you’re starting to know me better.”
“You say that as if it’s a privilege.”
“It’s not?”
“No. I’m only learning about you to know how to deal with you.”
“Smart little rabbit.” He lets the straps snap against my shoulders, his voice lowering. “Fucking red.”
My stomach tightens, instantly reacting to the change of his tone.
I stare at him from beneath my lashes as he continues putting my clothes together. But no matter how much I look, I can’t really read his expression. He’s the worst enigma to ever walk the earth, and I find myself wondering about what he’s thinking at times like these.
He definitely isn’t thinking about whatever emotional implications of his actions, considering he lacks emotions, and seems happy with the fact.
He owns that part of him, takes pride in it, and uses it to do depraved acts like the hunt tonight.
Like knocking out those people and tracking me as if I were an animal.
Would I ever feel like more than an animal in his presence? And what can I do to make him lose interest? If Eli and Lan are any indication, then his type has a short attention span for everything.
Unless we’re talking about Eli when it comes to Ava.
Or Lan when it comes to sculpting.
But those obsessions started fairly young for both Eli and Lan. They basically grew with their personalities, so they can’t be compared to Killian’s sudden fixation on me.
He’ll eventually get bored and move on to some other unfortunate soul.
He has to.
Or else I’m completely and utterly doomed.
“What are you thinking about?” His smooth voice swirls around me as he hooks his fingers against the edge of my top and tugs me against him. I’m starting to realize he likes to constantly touch me in some way.
“An effect Cecily once mentioned.”
