“She feel the same?” I can’t help the slight smirk from forming on my face. “She’s getting there,” I reply cryptically. Jay finally takes the hint and drops it. “Well, you will be happy to know that no one has gone in and out of her house except her friend for the past three days.” Mark's threat still rings around in my head. Like a stray bullet ricocheting in a constant loop inside my brain. The Society knows about Addie, making her a target. They may love children, but they absolutely do not pass up beautiful young women to sell and ship off to other countries. There’s no shortage of demand when it comes to the skin trade. Evil people have their tastes, and some prefer their victims to be fully grown women just as much as some prefer them adolescent. The tension in my shoulders grows as my thoughts run away from me. A single moment—that’s all it takes for her to go missing. Vanish out of thin air within a short trek from her car to the grocery store entrance. She doesn’t know the danger she’s in, but that will change soon. I refuse to hide the truth from her. And I’m sure she’s not going to like hearing that our selfdefense lessons are going to be ramping up. Now I just have to figure out how to keep my dick out of her during those lessons. Fuck it. Won’t happen. I smile, knowing she will try to use those moves on me, but the thought only makes my cock thicken in my slacks. I haven’t seen her since the House of Mirrors, and I know deep down that makes her angry. She probably feels like I fucked her and got bored, but that’s the furthest thing from the truth. I’m a fucking fiend for her now. It’s been the most challenging three days of my life staying away, but I need to infiltrate Savior's and save these kids. I haven’t had a minute to myself, and as much as I ache for my little mouse, these kids need me more. This time when more tension rolls in, it’s because of my visceral need to be inside Addie, fucking her into oblivion and making her delirious with how hard I’m going to make her come. “Be ready, Ill be at Savior’s in an hour,” I warn Jay before hanging up the phone. For now, I need to push Addie out of my head. But later tonight, I'll be pushing myself inside her so deeply, I’Il be ingrained in every crevice inside her body.
