one.”
    “But you and Timber, he allows you both to see his body. He trusts you.”
    “No, Sin.” Kyle shook his head somberly. “That has nothing to do with trust. It’s his own twisted way of seeking redemption.”
    “What? I don’t understand.”
    Kyle swiped his hand over his face. It was obvious this was a matter that had concerned him for some time as well. “Devon doesn’t believe he deserves anything good. Me and Timber are like rewards, eye candy he offers women as payment for the offense of his touch.”
    Sin shook her head sadly. “Why does he see himself as such a beast?”
    “Just one more of the many scars he was left with. Not all are on the surface.”
    The thick knot in Sin’s chest tightened. “There is also so much good in him and so much to be proud of. Tell me, Kyle. Tell me what happened to him.”
    “It’s not a pretty story.”
    “I’m not squeamish.”
    The corners of Kyle’s lips lifted. “You’re definitely not that.” He sighed heavily. “What I’m telling you is in the strictest of confidence.” She nodded solemnly, and he continued. “Devon was abused by his tyrannical father throughout his childhood. Wealth and power were a deadly mix, and the monster used both as armors to hide his evil. I can’t say exactly what he did to Devon, but from the wounds he carries, I think there wasn’t anything the fucker didn’t do to him.”
    “So many scars.” Sin frowned. “How did he get away for that long? Why didn’t anyone do anything?”
    “Simple. No one knew. Nobody even had a clue that there existed a boy who lived in a dungeon, surviving the most inhumane treatment. According to what me and Timber were able to find out, Devon’s mother died in a mysterious accident while he was still an infant. To us there is nothing mysterious at all. The dog had simply discarded his old victim as soon as fresh new prey had arrived.”
    Grabbing Kyle’s hand, Sin dug her nails in. “Are you saying he tortured Devon from the time he was a baby, and no even knew this baby existed. How did he get away?”
    “The father or Devon?” Kyle shrugged. “In Devon’s case, the child grew into a man. He escaped. He could not even speak when he entered the world, but Devon is a survivor. And, well, the father committed suicide not long after Devon found freedom.”
    “The bastard probably knew Devon would come for him.”
    Kyle smiled simply. “He sure did himself a favor by putting that bullet in his head.” He grew serious. “Coming back to trust, I think Devon tried at times to get help. He hasn’t said anything, but I refuse to believe a person as strong and determined as Devon would have idled away his time without rebelling. A mansion the size he was held captive in had to have had many servants.”
    “You think he begged people there but was denied help and eventually got away on his own.”
    “Yes, Sin, that’s exactly what I believe. Devon was never given a reason to have faith in humanity, so he shrugged mankind off and lives by his own principles.”
    Sin had to agree, but how did Kyle and Timber fit into the picture? They could not be simple medals of bravery Devon plugged in his sub’s pussies. “You and Timber must mean more to him than you think.”
    “Huh!” Kyle threw his hands into the air in frustration. “Devon doesn’t even allow us to take cell phone contracts without first having us sign a contract with him first. He even makes us sign our names on the dotted line with matters pertaining to the bedroom.”
    Sin’s jaw dropped to her chest. “You mean you had to sign a contract?” Her finger stabbed into her chest.
    Kyle nodded. “I’m sorry. But I have to be honest so you understand just how impossible it is for Devon to trust.”
    Her temples throbbed, and she rubbed them distractedly. She could not give up. If he had fought for so long and survived, the least she could do was put up her own fists. This man was worth fighting for. And she damn sure
