“Knox…” I tugged at the chain, scrambling from the bed to as far as it would go, desperation making it hard to breathe. “Just wait!”
This was my fault.
All my fault.
Knox paused, turning to me.
I reached for him, whining as the chain jammed again, but he stepped forward and my grip closed on his shirt.
“I’d have guessed, by our conversation earlier, that you were perfectly aware of what might happen if you pushed some more,” he said.
“Yes, but…” The fingers of my free hand dug into my scalp. “But then I met him. I need him. You c-can’t stop me from seeing him.”
“I can.”
“But you don’t understand. He’s my scent match. I n-need him. Please don’t do this.”
I lifted my hand, cupping his neck as I looked up at him. “Don’t hurt him,” I whispered.
“Andwhatare you going to do to convince me not to?”
I froze, panic spearing my veins.
He wasn’t nearly as broken in the brain when it came to me as I was with him, but sometimes I could see him waning—I could see the lust in his eyes when he looked at me.
But that was all I had, and Rogue was still here.
“Um… could he leave? Then we could…” I swallowed, trying not to look at Rogue. I leaned closer, tugging at his shirt again until he took a little step, my voice a whisper. “I’ll be anything you want.”
“You just asked if you could bring him in.”
I bit my lip, knowing he was playing with me now, but this couldn’t happen. Not when I’d met Rogue, and he was real and more perfect than I could ever have imagined.
Knox went on when I couldn’t find an answer. “Bothof my pets have misbehaved. Whoever gets punished, the otherwillwatch.”
I heard the echo of Rogue’s growl. “I said it would be me.”
“She’s the one who broke the rules. Perhaps it should be her call.”
“No—!”
“Sit down andshut. Your. Mouth,” Knox snarled, turning burning eyes on Rogue, who was on his feet.
I flinched back, heart fluttering uncomfortably.
I’d never heard him like that before.
Rogue’s chest was heaving, and I finally did look at him as he sat stiffly in the seat, burning eyes fixed on me. When I met them, he shook his head and there was fury in his gaze.
I… I didn’t like this.
I didn’t like how cold Knox was, or how I truly had nothing here.
I’d been so afraid that if I broke for Knox, I’d lose Rogue. I hadn’t thought about the other way around…
Back to the start, Bunny.
Out of power.
