He really did like to threaten me with a good time. I eyed the door and then him. “I can help with whatever plan you’ve come up with.”

“All I care about is you being safe.”

My heart started beating funny in my chest. It was the sweetest thing he’d ever said to me. Other than when he’d told me I was too beautiful to hide my face behind a mask.

“But I care about you being safe,” I said.

“I don’t need anyone to protect me, doll.”

I wasn’t sure that was true. I didn’t know what Kebe was. But I knew she was powerful. And there was no chance in hell I wasn’t going to be part of this fight. “Fuck me as many times as you want. But I’m still walking down there and taking part of the plan afterward.”

“And now you’re threatening me with a good time.” He grabbed my hips and flipped me over so that my ass was jutting into the air. “Arch your back, doll. I’ve been dreaming of fucking you from behind for over a year.”

Well, if I was going to be held captive, this was the way I preferred. But I was getting back down into the bank whether Titan tied me up or not.

Titan raised his eyebrow at me. “And you promise you’re going to be good and leave town with Emma?”

“I promise,” I said and held my wrists out to him. He’d tied me up ages ago. When I’d come to the bank, it had been morning. The sun was high in the sky now. I wasn’t complaining about the things he’d done to my body, but I needed to get downstairs and figure out what the plan was.

“I’m serious about this, doll. Otto will be driving you out of town tonight.”

“Awesome.”

He was still looking at me suspiciously.

Which I understood. Because I was lying through my teeth. Kind of. I’d be happy to leave with Emmaafterwe confronted Kebe. It was Titan’s own fault for not being specific enough. Just saying tonight was very vague. That gave me plenty of time to help out.

It was probably bad to lie to him again after we’d finally cleared everything up. But I wasn’t leaving town. Titan’s controlling ass needed to get used to me in his life. And it just so happened that I liked being in control too. Well, most of the time. I certainly didn’t mind being tied up.

I lifted my wrists higher.

Titan shook his head, but slowly untied the knots.

I quickly got dressed. I could feel his eyes trailing over my body. There was something about the fact that he’d been watching me for over a year that really made me feel so desired. I couldn’t wait to spend more time with him. I liked being alone with all of my boyfriends. But none of them were quite as sinful as Titan. Or as dangerous.

My eyes fell to the scar on his face as I pulled on my jacket. I closed the distance between us and ran my finger down the jagged mark on his left cheek.

He just stared down at me.

“How did you get this?”

“It was an accident.”

“An accident that involved your friends? Or more of a motorcycle accident or something?”

“I don’t ride a motorcycle.”

So one of my other boyfriends had done this to him? Titan didn’t offer any more information. But he didn’t really need to. I knew none of them were quite themselves when they shifted. Whoever it was hadn’t meant to hurt him. Just like whoever had done that stuff in the hay maze hadn’t meant to.

“I think it’s very sexy,” I said.

His Adam’s apple rose and then fell. “It usually scares people.”
