He woke me with a kiss on my lips. I smiled and opened my eyes. It was Gage. He grabbed me by the throat and was choking me. Then he climbed on top of me and forced my legs open, he thrust hard inside me. I tried to cry out but I couldn’t breathe, I felt the tears roll out of the corners of my eyes and pool in my ears. I was clawing at his hands but I couldn’t get free. I was hitting and kicking him, trying to cry out but all he did was smile down at me showing his sharp onyx teeth.

My eyes flew open in shock. The nightmare clung to my body and I started to choke for air. My heart was pounding. Rayce burst through the door and rushed up to the bed.

“Babe, are you alright?” He wiped a tear away from my cheek, “Why are you crying?”

I tried to cover my sob with my hand. I closed my eyes and saw nothing but Gage and his rage. It was heavy in my mind and his presence lingered in my room. It seemed so real. I couldn’t control my tears.

“Talk to me,” he whispered as he pulled me into his chest. His touch was a comfort. He had already cleaned up my mess of a life and put my broken heart back together. He had done so much. They all had. I wanted to hide this one thing but it seemed as if that wasn’t going to happen.

I replayed the last night with Gage for him. He knew Gage had beaten me but had no idea what he attempted to do or what would get him angry in the first place. All he did was wrap both of his arms around me and held me close. I placed my ear against his chest and heard the erratic and angry beat of his raging heart. I thought it would burst out of his chest.

“I’m sorry that happened to you but I promise, it will never happen again. If he comes within a thousand yards from you, I will slaughter him,” he growled. “Fuck!”

“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you before. I was embarrassed that I caused something like that to happen. I never thought,” I paused.

“Jessica, you did not cause that. That was of his choosing.”

“I know, but.”

“There is no but. Don’t ever apologize for him.” He sighed, “Is that when he gave you that horrible bite?”

“Yes,” I replied softly. “I thought it would never stop bleeding.”

“He ripped into you because his dominance was threatened. I know from experience. I’m sorry that happened.”

“Me too. What made it worse was the cops wouldn’t help me.”

“What?”

“I ran two days later and they said they couldn’t help me. Are any of the police hellhounds?”

“It’s possible but I’m not sure.”

“I couldn’t help but feel as if Gage has the law under his thumb.”

“It wouldn’t surprise me.”

“I would love a bath,” I said and stood from my bed. The scent of lasagna lingered in the air but I wasn’t anywhere near hungry.
