Chapter 17

Ledger

Every fiber of my being revolts against the idea of returning her to that man. The uncertainty gnaws at me, an insidious doubt clawing at the edges of my consciousness. I despise the helplessness of this situation, the knowledge that her safety hangs in the balance, yet here we are.

She wants Bane. She’s fucking marrying him. To her, this is but a fleeting interlude, a passing moment in the grand scheme of her life. But for me, it’s something altogether different.

With each passing second, the depth of my emotions for her becomes more apparent, a revelation that both exhilarates and terrifies me. She ignites a fire within me, a passion so fierce it consumes my every thought. In her, I see the possibility of a love I never dared to dream of.

Is it madness to believe that she could be the one, the missing piece of my soul? Perhaps.

I pull up to Bane’s gate, and wait. The gate opens, and I pull my vehicle forward, my heartbeat racing out of control.

I slow down, before making my way to the circular drive. “Tonight, before you fall asleep, close your eyes and think of me.”

Posey looks at me. “I already do that every night anyway.”

It hurts to breathe when I hear her words. “So do I,” I tell her honestly.

She reaches over and places her tiny hand on my thigh, and I quickly cover it with my own hand. “I think about you all the time.”

I bring her hand to my lips, kissing her knuckles before dropping her hand. “I think about you way more than that. You’re becoming a part of me, Posey. I don’t know how to overcome it.”

She swipes a tear from her cheek as I continue the drive up the path toward Bane’s place. “I’m so sorry,” she says, and I let out a deep breath.

Changing the subject, I say, “If I hear anything more from Devereaux, I’ll be sure to let you know.”

She nods. “Thank you. Any new leads on my attacker?”

I shake my head. “No.” And as soon as I drop her off I plan on making it my mission to figure out who’s behind all of this.

It’s nearly three in the morning, but I plan on going back to the club, figuring out exactly what’s going on with Bane and his men. Why Posey was attacked.

I pull around the circular driveway, stopping by the front door, and Bane steps out. I shut off the car, and step out to greet him.

Bane’s already helping Posey out of the car.

“What happened?” I ask him, wanting all the details of what went down at the club tonight.

Bane looks at Posey, and then smiles. “Let’s get her inside, and we can discuss a few things,” he says, like he can’t be bothered to share any information with her. Like she’s a five-year-old.

It makes me sick.

I follow him into his mansion, and I head into his office as he walks Posey up the stairs. While I’m inside, I roam over the many books he has displayed on his bookshelves.
