Chapter Seventeen: Rip

“Awesome dinner, Rip.”

“Fan-fucking-tastic night!”

They roared off into the velvet night, laughing and joking as I waved them off. The evening was a complete success, and I was under no delusions as to why. There had been one or two sticky moments, but the Zetas had overlooked them, purely because of Morgan. They’d liked seeing her properly awake, but having her sleep in my lap sealed the deal.

“Ay, she’s suffered,” Quique whispered when he saw her curled up comfortably. “Rip, find out who her ex is, and I’ll help fix the capullo.”

“We’ll all help,” Gordo assured me. “Anything you need, okay?”

They were speaking to me as one of their own. They knew what I was, and they weren’t bothered, and it was all because of the girl. It was perfect, and I was determined to keep Morgan forever. She was my ticket to the good life.

So as they went home, I was delighted. I’d had a perfect hunt, an excellent dinner, and I wanted to finish the day with a bang. “Let’s go to bed.”

I was half expecting a protest, but Morgan just nodded. She was subdued, and although her nervousness around the Zetas was clear, it hadn’t passed me by that some parts of the conversation had affected her more than others.

The implications were interesting, but I wasn’t going to push it. At least not for the moment. Right then and there I wanted to dive into her and lose myself again. The plane ride home had given me time to plan, and I was having fantasies of silk ties and gags.

I piloted her upstairs, and out of sheer habit, undressed her and checked the fading bruises. Morgan shivered but didn’t protest.

“They’re almost gone,” I told her. “You’re looking great, Morgan.”

“Yes, Rip.” I looked into her eyes, and my joy shrivelled. Morgan looked like death warmed over. Her face was so pale that the bones stood out like knives, and her eyes were dark with exhaustion.

I remembered how she’d been hiding under the covers, frightened by her dreams, when I’d come home. She’d been so upset that she’d hugged me. “Morgan, did you sleep at all while I was away?”

The grey eyes were definitely depressed. “Some.”

I really wanted to tie her to the bed and ride her till she wailed, but I didn’t want to push my meal ticket too far. I’d be sensible and give her a break. But being a nasty piece of work, I made sure she’d be properly grateful. “You won the game, Morgan, so you get to pick the next one.”

“I don’t want to play.”

Just what I’d thought she’d say. But I made the most of it. “Oh, come on. You had a good time. Are you sure you’re not up for some fun?”

She gazed at me, exhaustion coming off her in waves, and suddenly I was shifting perspective. I had escaped death only to find myself in a strange country and in the hands of a monster.

I snapped out of it just as quickly, but for a moment I was rocked.
