They made love until darkness had fallen and she ended up sleeping in his arms in a state of exhaustion. When she woke up, she was in his bed, still naked, and curled in the arms of her Master.

She whispered, “Master?”

What is it, pet? His arms tightened around her as he spoke.

Swallowing, she told him shakily, “Something’s wrong with me.” It was the only thing she could risk saying. She was too ashamed to admit the entire truth.

I know.

She stiffened, and she stiffened even more when her Master shifted. She thought he would let her go then, but instead she felt his lips pressing on her forehead.

Tears burned behind her eyelids.

Her Master was a hunter, whose work required that he become cold-blooded and anything but gentle.

But with her?

He had always been with gentle with her. Always, Zari realized. How could she only realize that now? And God, why couldn’t it be that he was gentle with her because he loved her and not because she was his pet?

Will you tell me what you feel is wrong with you?

She shook her head.

Alexandru was grim. He remembered the autopsy reports he had received last night, compiled by both humans and otherworlders, and the picture had been grisly. Once the demon was able to sink its claws in a soul, a quick meal for it would be to drive the victim to suicide. That had happened with its first few victims. But lately, the demon had become stronger, smarter, more daring, and it had been able to manipulate its victims into committing a graver sin: murder, and all to hide guilt.

I need to tell you something, my pet.

Her eyes rose to his, anxiety darkening them almost to black.

There is a demon on the loose again, and it feeds on guilt. He didn’t speak right away, allowing the words to sink in. When she whitened, he knew that she had realized the truth.

That she was the next victim, and the demon had already sunk its claws into her soul.

“How did it happen?” she asked dully.

“That’s what I intend to find out. I’m betting the demon’s found a host. We kill the host, we end its hold on you.” Alexandru was grim. “But for now, I ask you again. What has it made you guilty of?”

“Something…I can never tell you about.”

He cursed under his breath. “Zari, dammit—”

“I can’t. Just know that I won’t ever do it, ever. Even if it means I have to be another man’s—”

Never. His tone was savage. Haven't I made myself clear enough? In an instant, he was on top of her, his weight imprisoning her but not overwhelming her. He pinned her arms over her head. “You are mine.”

His mouth crushed hers, and even as despair swamped her, she couldn’t stop herself from kissing him back. Soon, their mouths were no longer their only connection. He rose over her, and when he came back down, his cock slid into her. His mouth returned to her, and she moaned into his kiss even as her legs snaked around his waist and her body welcomed his possession.
