Chapter Twenty-Four

Her words took Connor completely by surprise, and he released her face from his palms. Caught off guard, he stumbled backwards, but his gaze never left the trembling woman at his feet. He had no idea where any of this had come from. Sure, he knew she wasn’t ecstatic about being here, like this, with him, but since the cage she’d been compliant, even if he knew her heart wasn’t truly in it. An outburst like this though couldn’t just be ignored, and the fact she’d seen fit to use his name instead of his title made anger spark inside of him.

“You’ll bleed whenever I command it,” he snapped back. “On demand if I so order.”

He expected to see her face tense, those large eyes widen, or her body scamper away, but to his dismay, she only looked weary.

“No,” she replied in a gentle tone. “I have nothing left to give.”

Molly glanced up, meeting his gaze for the first time in a while, and in her blue eyes he saw the fire rise.

Wildfire, the voice in his head reminded him. Just like Lydia.

“No?” he roared back, clutching the back of the nearest chair for support. “Who the fuck do you think you’re talking to, darling? We’ve been through this. I make the rules, pet, and you—all you have to do is obey.”

“And I have obeyed,” she countered, her chin rising as she answered him back. “You’ve had everything from me! My life; you’ve taken away my friends, my home, everything I thought I knew. You’ve stripped me, punished me, reduced me to this!” Her arms flew wide as she practically spat out the final word. “You’ve tortured me, demeaned me, you kept me in a fucking cage for God’s sake! What else is there? I have nothing else. You’ve bled me dry.”

He was shaking as she concluded. Fury and disdain mingling to create a dangerous combination. “Be quiet, or I’ll gag you,” he warned her in a low, gravelly tone.

He couldn’t listen to any more of her diatribe. He wouldn’t stand for it. “Gag me then,” came the tired response.

“Gag me, beat me, fuck me. Do whatever you want, but you’ll never have this,” she hissed, gesturing to her head before her palm fell to where her heart was pumping inside her chest. “Or this. And I will never, ever write for you, again.”

Her tone was resolute, and the flare in her nostrils made him want to punch something. Hard. Connor closed his eyes for a moment, fighting to push down the wave of aggression which threatened to burst from him. No, no, no, he told himself. Don’t lose it. Don’t fucking lose it and do something you’ll really regret.

Again, the small voice in his head added, helpfully.

“I thought we’d gotten past this, kitten,” he growled through gritted teeth. “I thought this lesson had been taught and learned, but… apparently not.”

His feet were already moving toward the drawer next to her pet bed, his hand grabbing the chains and the gag he required without his brain having to command them to do so.
