“Vinny.”
“Again,” he presses, fingers digging into my cheek.
“Vinny.”
His cock jumps. “Fuck, gets me so hard,” he says in a deep, husky voice.
“You like Jude.”
It’s not much of a question, but his entire jaw hardens. And I can’t help but smirk at how his cock jerks, harder than ever. His brows furrow low. “Don’t know what the hell you’re talking about. Go to sleep.” He rolls over.
Jude. He’s the doctor. The healer. If they grew up together, if he was around during Vincent’s fighting days…
“Did he fix you up after your matches?”
“I said go to sleep,” he growls.
“Fine, you stubborn ass.” I grin and give his rock-hard rear a little pinch. He flinches. “But it’s going to come out. Can’t hide that level of animalistic hunger forever. By the way…”
“What?”
“I’ll take that dildo now.”
And I’ll help myself to some knitting materials…

“Runaway (From Myself)
She’s not ready to run. But she will.
And when she does, I will hunt her like I hunt all my prey.
She’s tiptoeing out of Vincent’s cabin in nothing but her sundress. She’s already solidified her revenge on him. Her steps are slow and cautious. Still healing.
As soon as she crosses to one of the connecting bridges, I step out from the shadows, appearing on the opposite edge. I’m but a silhouette, a shadowy figure to her, but everything about her body language screams she knows it’s me.
“I wasn’t running,” she says, stepping onto the bridge, saving face.
“I know.”
I wait for her. I’ll give her credit for crossing the space to me when she could have turned tail and run right back to Vincent’s cabin.
“Your laws are vague,” she points out with a bite in her voice, but keeps her distance from me. “You didn’t say I had to spend all night sleeping with him.”
“Acknowledged.”
Crossing her arms over her chest, Briella pins her warm hazel eyes on mine. “Do you always speak in one-word answers and short sentences?”
“Mostly.”
Why give anyone the possibility of leverage against me? I’ve known how to keep secrets since my youth. Even from my own Kin. I have more to keep from her.
