“Thank you, ladies. Enjoy your visit,” he tosses over his shoulder as he leaves.
I sit rigid on the couch, pressing my knees together. For a moment, I’m dizzy. My clit is throbbing, screaming for release. If my friends weren’t here, I’d be tempted to risk punishment and squirm out of my jeans to rub one out.
“You okay?” Daria asks.
I press my hands to my cheeks. My skin is burning hot.
I nod slowly.
“Are you sure?” Angel asks. She’s rubbing her tattoo, a knowing look on her face.
Love you. And you love me.
I shake my head.
“Did you ask him about tonight?” Honey asks, breathless. “Is it the ceremony?”
The ceremony… the dress.You’ll come to the party as mine.“I don’t know. He didn’t mention a ceremony, not exactly. We discussed… other things.”
Honey giggles. Even Daria has a smile on her face. They know exactly what went on behind closed doors, and I can’t bring myself to care.
I stare at the front door, wishing Jaeger would return.
He wants to make you his elita.
“I don’t know what I’m doing,” I tell them.
“Are you in love with him?” Honey asks.
I put my hands on my cheeks. I’m burning up. “He’s Fraternitas.”
“So?” Honey snorts. She starts to say more, and Angel holds out her hand to stop her.
“If he wasn’t in the mafia, would you want him?” Angel is sitting up straight, studying me.
I gnaw on my lower lip. “It doesn’t matter. He won’t let me leave.”
Honey’s eyes go wide, and Daria shakes her head, but Angel doesn’t seem fazed. “Do you want to leave?”
“I don’t know.”
“Are you afraid to stay?” Angel keeps digging. Honey looks from her to me, drinking in the interrogation.
“Gods, Angel.” I blow out a breath. “Maybe.”
“Well then, there’s only one question you need to ask yourself. What would you do if you weren’t afraid?”
I glare at her and then Daria, who’s silent, biting her lip.Be careful.
And all the while, my sex pulses with need. Because deep down, I’m turned on by danger.
Stupid bunny, hopping right up to the wolf.
But it’s more than that. Jaeger is my safe place. Everything he’s done to care for me has lured me in a little bit more.
I need him. I crave him. I want him and want to take care of him. He’s had so little, and yet he’s given me so much.
I want to give him my everything.
