“I’m going to soak your pussy with my cum.” My strokes were hard, firm, allowing her to find friction. “You aremine. You areours.There is nothing besides us.”

She moaned, breaking the kiss with Ciel and then whispering, “Wynn.”

Ciel sat back, waiting for Wynn to move. I was about to snap that he better fucking kiss her when he surged forward andcovered her mouth with his. His eyebrows furrowed, but the kiss was devastating. Slow and sensual, a contrast to the way I was still fucking her. She slowed the roll of her hips, gasping into his mouth, and I let her dictate the pace until he pulled back. Their cheeks matched the same pink color while they stared at one another until he retreated.

“Come for me,hanii,” I murmured as I nipped the base of her neck at her shoulder. “Come for us. Let us watch our goddess take her pleasure.”

Her eyes locked with mine, hazy with lust. Her mouth parted in ecstasy as her orgasm washed over her, pussy clamping down on me so hard it pushed me over the edge with her.

I rested my head against her collarbone, the knife long forgotten on the seat beside us. My palms flattened against her back while I sucked in greedy breaths and held her tight.

Peace spread through me.

For the first time in days, the stress melted away.

I kept her secured on my cock the entire way home, fucking her lazily and letting her dictate what she wanted from all of us. I only let her climb off when I was forced to, but I carried her to the elevator, to our door. She fell asleep, head on my shoulder, before we made it inside.

WYNN

Ciel slipped into my room as soon as Cas and Ryuji made sure Leona was clean and settled on the big bed in the living room. It was just after sunrise.

Even after everything that happened tonight, I was restless.

I might have lied and snuck out, but I’d also found Vokshi. I’d found the auto-repair shop. We’d dealt with the Albanians because I’d caught him. Ever since I lost him in the marina, I’d been trying to fix it, and tonight I did.

I thought I’d done well. I thought my brothers would be happy with me, and so would Leona. I thought she’d be relieved we could end Orik Vokshi. One underboss was dead, leaving only his two brothers and the Head, Armir Vokshi, left. It should have been a step forward.

But then I’d killed Orik before we could interrogate him. When I saw him clawing at Leona, I just acted. I set us backagain. I should have been more careful, but I couldn’t bear the thought of her being hurt again.

Guilt wracked me while I scrubbed my face in the bathroom.

“Wynn.” Ciel’s voice was firm. Not as angry as before, butdefinitely not the same soft voice he usually took with me. “We need to talk.”

I knew what he wanted to talk about.

Don’t you dare do it again.

I did what I had to do, and I had found Vokshi. Ultimately, the good of the evening outweighed the bad, didn’t it? So why did I feel so guilty? The dissonance felt like it was tearing me apart.

He knocked on my bathroom door, even though it was half ajar.

“What, Ciel?”

He pushed inside. He hadn’t changed out of his combat clothes. The dark material clung to his muscular thighs and tapered around his trim waist. He wore a black henley tucked into his pants, and bunched around his elbows. His arms crossed over his chest, accentuating his forearms.

Ciel and I had similar builds, and we used to train together often when Obi had first recruited me. I had always been slightly more built than him, with more muscle on my bones, but since theincident, I’d lost weight. Lost muscle. He probably weighed more than me now. It was a stark reminder of how far I’d fallen, and how much I still had to make up.

He took a deep breath. “We need to talk. I—I’m worried about you.”

“There’s no reason to be worried.”

“Bullshit.”

My head snapped up to meet his frowning face. “It’s not bullshit.”

“Youliedto me, Wynn!” He caught his voice raised and took a breath to calm it. “I—I know you’re not sleeping. I know you’re hiding how much you’re hurting. I know you’re driven by some need to redeem yourself, but that doesn’t give you the excuse to put yourself at risk.”
