“Okay, baby.” He placed a soft kiss to my forehead. “We’re going to rest a little while, and then we’re going to go up on the bed, and you’re going to be a very good boy and stay very still forme as I use your cock again. You’re just going to lie there and let me take care of it. Okay?”
I nodded. That sounded so nice.
We did exactly as he said, moving to the bed once we’d recovered, then I lay still as he straddled me and rode my cock exactly the way he wanted it.
After we’d both come again, we cuddled until the sweat on our skin cooled, and he placed soft kisses over my chest, shoulders, and face.
Everything was fine. No matter what happened, as long as I had him, it was all fine. Nothing else mattered. Leon wasn’t going to get to us in any way that mattered.
Then he removed my blindfold, but not the collar as I wanted to keep that on, and we got dressed ready to leave and go home.
I felt so much better than when we’d arrived. My mind was quiet, and my heart was full.
We collected our things and made our way back to the surface.
My phone buzzed the moment it got a signal, and suddenly multiple missed call notifications were popping through—from unknown numbers, from Rachel, and from Matthew.
Harper frowned at his phone as it received the same.
We shared an uneasy look. I clicked Rachel’s name to call her back.
“Fuckin’ finally!” She sniffed, and it sounded like she was crying. “Do you fuckin’ know how fuckin’ worried I was that somethin’ had happened to you?”
“What are you talkin’ about? Why would somethin’ have happened to me?”
“You need to come to the hospital.”
My chest tightened, and my lungs refused to take in air as she continued. “It’s Ma. There’s been an accident.”

WE BOTH LOSE.
This was my fault.
He’d warned me he could do other things, but I’d thought, foolishly, that he was running out of options when it came to paying off Benny’s clients and employees.
No one was saying it, but we all knewhewas behind this.
A black truck had rammed into the side of Ginny’s car just one street from her home as she left to collect the boys from a play date at a friend’s. A truck that had been driving far too fast for a residential area. The driver had left her at the scene. A witness had stated the truck had no plates. It was all too suspicious.
This was him.
Cutting off our money wasn’t working, so he’d escalated.
Because of me, Benny’s mom had been in surgery for hours. Because of me, she might die.
Benny was pacing the waiting room. Rachel was a sobbing mess. I couldn’t imagine the fear they were experiencing, especially after they’d lost their father in a car accident too. Matthew had taken the boys for a walk to find some food, but I’d seen the stress on his features as well.
Leon had hurt the one person closest to them all. To get to me.
I’d never forgive him. I’d never forgive myself for letting it happen.
She just had to make it through this, and I was going to fix everything. Somehow.
Every time a nurse came through the doors, Benny and Rachel would look up hopefully, only to be disappointed when they didn’t have any news for us.
