“We?” I asked,at the fantasy in my head, one I’d had countless ti with lust, ulped
“What’s our safeword, Baby girl?” Killian asked, the hard edge that drovehis words
“Gold,” I whispered, er down the column of my throat
“Go to our rooe in his eyesa shiver of anticipation run down my spine Without another word, I took the keys Kill was holding out, turned, and rushed toward the boys’ dorm
Honestly, if it weren’t for him, his brothers, or my cousin Dani, I didn’t knoould have made it at Thornhill But he’d been relentless in his pursuit, and the ave in, I was his, body and mind He was possessive and passionate, but he was also devoted I’d never felt htto hiilance and the self-control that had been instilled in me from the moment I could talk
“Hurry up in there, Princess!” Keir’s voice rang out, breaking hts That day was one of the best and worst of hteenth birthday, and they’d all shown me how much they needed me But it was also the last time I’d seen them before Erosh what could I have said to theree, from Family business, and to explain to them would have crossed the very boundaries that we’d always had been us
Thoughts of thery and hurt had haunted me for years, and I hadn’t feltwas off and decided that school was beneaththose first few months than any other time in my life, but it turned me into the robot I needed to be to survive
There was only one tiain, but Eros found out Generally, he controlled everything that went out of the house, including our eed to find a burner phone, but as soon as I started the call, he stormed in and sh toto live in the past As time went on, the distance felt even further It just solidified what I knew… My tiht at the time
I’d dated here and there since then but rarely got to a second or third date Thosefelt like a waste of time, and my time was far too precious to waste Which hy I wanted to push theer and scarier part oftheave ht, that too honest piece of me whispered, but forever
If I gave them the chance, I’d lose myself in them and their beautiful darkness But I couldn’t have any reason to hesitate when it came time to end the deal I owned my life, and I would own my death
Flashes of the night they’d sharedthe darkerme, the whispers of possession and conquest, the promises that I’d be all of theirs someday, not just Killian’s Just the o out there and let theical side of me wouldn’t allow it They didn’t know ht to their ed
Back then, I was stoic and quiet However, on the inside, I was anything but I’d been groorandfather He’d known froe seven, as he loved to remind me, that I was just like him That state alike Where Eros was bloodthirsty, I killed to survive While he fed off of fear, I longed to leave that life
Having all three of the Adrostos triplets out inup memories that should have stayed buried I’ve been independent here for three fucking years, and they think they can just walk in and take what they want from me?
But couldn’t they? The fact that I’d already let Kill fuck, but I kept doing another It was enough to drive me crazy
Your expiration date doesn’t mean you can’t have a bit of fun You walked away once, and they survived They’ll be fine Plus, you’ve changed… ouldn’t they? I mean, even I didn’t believe that lie They were sincere, that , I would have been told by now
