“Miles?” I hear Maddie's soft voice whisper.

She’s sitting in the front seat holding her phone in her lap, her head down, but I can see the tears from where they fell onto her hands.

“Yes, baby?” I grab onto her hands and rub the tears from where they fell. Her hands are trembling and it shatters me into a million pieces. I can’t stand to see her this way. She doesn’t fucking deserve it. She looks up at me, tears still rimming her lashes, but the look on her face isn’t fear or sorrow. It’s wrath.

“I want to kill him.”

I keep staringat my hands that are stained in my friend's blood as Julius drives us to our hotel. Hudson’s in surgery now and thankfully going to make it. He was shot in the stomach, but they were able to find the bullet and stop the bleeding. Morgan said he’ll be able to make a full recovery with therapy.

We didn’t change before we left for the hotel and we’re both covered in Hudson’s blood. People are going to think we fucking killed someone. I give Julius my wallet when we get to the hotel and instruct him to check us in. Once he’s finished, we enter from the side entrance of the hotel so no one sees us.

Our hotel has joint rooms, so Julius can have his own space, and we can have ours. When we get inside, Maddie stands in front of the bathroom mirror, staring at her reflection. I stand behind her and together we look like a hot fucking mess. Her expression is blank as she looks over at me in the mirror. I turn her around and she looks up at me with tears in her eyes.

“I know, baby, I know. I’m gonna end this for us. I fucking promise you, I won’t let him hurt you.”

I turn the water on and let the room fill with steam before helping Maddie out of her clothes and then stepping out of mine. She steps into the shower, letting the spray hit her and soaking her perfect curls until they fall straight. I step inside and let the hot water wash the blood from my arms and hands.

Maddie looks down and watches the blood circle the drain. I lift her chin, and a small amount of what's left of Hudson’s blood on my fingers coats her skin. I stare at it until the water clears it away and all that's left is her delicate flesh. I can’t stand to see blood on her. She should have never had any on her in the first place.

I help Maddie wash her hair and then wash mine. We quickly wash our bodies and then turn the shower off. Grabbing a towel, I wrap it around my waist, then grab a towel for Maddie to wrap around her body. She steps around me and heads into thebedroom. I walk into the room after getting myself dressed to see her sitting on the bed, still wrapped in her towel, soaking the comforter beneath her.

I walk over to where she sits and kneel in front of her. Water drips from the ringlets that flow down her shoulders, and I use my fingers to wipe the water away from her skin. She watches my fingers and then looks over at me.

“What if he finds us again? I don’t want to keep hiding, Miles. I can’t.” Her eyes glow from the tears she continues to hold back, and it’s like staring straight into molten lava. She's scared still, but she holds onto the anger more than anything.

“Let him find us. I'll break every fucking bone in his body and burn him alive for the pain he's caused you.”

Bringing my hand to the side of her neck, I watch as the tear she tried so hard to hold back falls softly down her cheek. I wipe it away with my thumb and lean in closer.

“And I won't fucking stop until I know he's felt the same pain.”

I pull her into me, kissing her plump lips. Maddie lets out a soft moan, and it's enough to send me into a frenzy.

I rip the towel off of her and grab her by her luscious thighs, lifting her higher onto the bed, dropping her there. She lays naked before me, her skin glistening beneath the soft light of the hotel room.

Fuck, she's everything.

She’s so beautiful it steals every coherent thought from my mind. Her perfectly tan skin is like velvet calling out to me, waiting to be touched. Her eyes are like flames, branding into my soul every single time she looks in my direction, marking me in a way only she can. The curves of her body are like a marble statue that was chiseled to perfection, made especially for me.

She ismine. My heart, my soul, the very air I breathe—and I will hunt down every ghost that dares haunt her until there’snothing left but ashes. If that’s what it takes to see her smile, I'll do it without hesitation.

I pull my shirt over my head and toss it onto the floor beside the bed. She’s watching me, and I can see the moment her greedy little cunt begins to weep for me. I lick my lips, desperate for a taste of her. I sink down to my knees and spread her legs further apart, opening her up for me.

“Mmm, that’s my good fucking girl. Look how wet you already are for me and I haven't even touched you yet.”

Maddie’s cheeks heat and she tries to close her legs to cover herself, but I won't allow it.

“Ah ah ah, don't even think about it, Princess.” I hold her legs down by her knees, inching closer to her pussy. She tries to lift herself up closer to my mouth, and I chuckle at her attempt.

“Don’t worry baby, I’m going to worship this pussy the way it deserves.” I lick up her slit, moaning at the delicious taste it leaves on my tongue.

“Mine,”I growl as I grip her thighs and begin to feast.

Maddie squirms in my hold, so I grip her tighter, my nails digging into her flesh. Her moans are loud and so fucking pretty. I want more. Ineedto hear her scream for me.

I flick my tongue repeatedly over her sensitive clit as she grips my hair in her hands, pulling me closer to where she wants me. I fucking love it when she writhes beneath me, her body handing complete control over.

I get up on the bed, hovering over her and kissing her neck, sliding my hand between her thighs. She leaves them wide open for me like the good girl she is and allows me entrance. Sliding two fingers over her clit, I circle over the sensitive area before sliding them completely inside her.
