I gave her as much as I dared without fearing you’d take liberties with my life. She’s in pretty bad shape.

Maloch

She didn’t safeword.

I don’t release the air in my lungs as I read the damning message over and over. My chest grows painful with the need to breathe, but I can’t allow myself the privilege when my life is about to be wrecked to pieces.

Fuck.

Chapter 25

KARA

Ican’t stop shaking. My body is still riddled with the adrenaline of combating terror and agony at the same time. My knees ache from kneeling on the hard floor, but it’s a distant whisper of pain compared to the searing burn of the lashes etched into my back. I never saw the weapon that Greyson employed with the most meticulous brutality, but it felt like a thousand talons dipped in fire, setting flame to my skin with every strike. And those are only the physical wounds.

I shift uncomfortably on the floor as I wait for either reprieve or the next round of torture. If there is a next, I’m not sure that I will survive it. I bite my lip anxiously, flinching when my teeth puncture the chafed skin. My throat feels bloodied from screaming; I wish I could say that I withstood Greyson’s whip with dignity, but that would be a boldfaced lie. I screamed from the first, unexpected strike. I screamed for mercy, for Cade—neither of them came. I screamed for what felt like hours until all the energy and fight drained from my body—and then, when my voice vanished beneath the strain, I simply screamed on the inside.

The acrid scent of bile hangs heavy in the air, the bitter taste still lingering on my tongue. I should be grateful that my body’s natural reaction to the pain gave me no choice but to spew my guts onto the floor. The whipping stopped after that. Without a word, Greyson wiped the acidic remnants from my lips and the mess from my body. Even though my blindfold was still firmly in place, I could tell it was him from the subtle scent of citrus. He released me from the cuffs, my nerves shrieking as the shift pulled against the raw skin of my back.

“Kneel,” he commanded in a tone devoid of emotion, and I obeyed without delay. I felt so tired that I was grateful for permission to give in to the weakness in my legs. And that was the last time I was acknowledged.

Cade never said a word. Never checked on me. Never told Greyson to stop when he was whipping me within an inch of my life. The fact that he would give me over to another man so completely leaves my heart feeling shattered and useless within my chest. In the course of our relationship, I’ve only ever given Cade one hard limit: don’t fucking share me. And tonight—when we should have been celebrating our first major milestone—he chose to break that limit.

I don’t know how he did it. I don’t
