him. This was so morbid and sick. Her mind yelled at her to get up and
haul ass. Piper must have had the same thought. She slowly kicked her heels
off.
    Piper had hers off already. She felt Piper count to three
with her fingers on her hand. They moved slowly at first. Then they bolted,
they made it down the stairs before she heard Cieran yell.
    They knew these men moved inhumanly fast. They were right
they were already down the stairs. She felt Caedmon’s hands grab her but she
managed to break free.
    She knew they would never make it out the front door and
followed Piper into the bathroom.
    They slammed the door and locked it.
    There wasn’t a window in here. They had just trapped
themselves. She was waiting for the door to be hit or something but it never
happened. They sat together in silence for what had to be an hour when the
lights shut off.
    She heard the lock turned and the door open but she
couldn’t see shit. This dark seemed darker than a usual dark room should be.
She kept her back to the wall. Then someone’s hands landed on her. She jumped
ten feet in the air and screamed.
    The hands gripped her firmly and drug her from the room
she felt another body as she was drug out and knew it was Cieran. Caedmon drug
her out of the building and to a waiting SUV instead of the limo. He shoved her
in the back roughly and climbed in after her. He didn’t speak, he didn’t even
look at her and the silence worried her far more than if he would have just
done something.
    They arrived back at his house and he got her to his room
in record time. As soon as the door was shut he grabbed her by her throat and
tossed her. She landed on the floor her head hitting his coffee table. He
reached down and grabbed her by her hair dragging her as if she was a dog. She
tried to break free but it was no use.
    It felt like her hair was about to be torn from her scalp.
Tears of pain burned in her eyes.
    “You ran from me. Did I not tell you to never run from me?”
He shoved her on his bed. He leaned above her and then extended her arm and
tightly tied it with a thin sash tightly that was tied to his bed. He did the
same to her other arm. “What are you doing?!” She yelled as he did the same to her
feet.
    He ignored her and ripped the dress down the center and off
of her with his bare hands he did the same to her underwear and bra. She knew
what he was about to do now. She struggled but she was tied tight. This was one
of her biggest fears being played out.
    She started to cry pathetically even though she told
herself to be strong. He stood above her naked, she hated how perfectly
beautiful this creature was and hated him more for it.
    “Already crying and I haven’t even started yet.” He settled
over her and between her legs. He shoved inside of her and she bit her lip to
the point of drawing blood from the pain. It hurt.
    He started thrusting hard and deep to the point of making
her eyes leak with tears of pain she had tried so hard to hold back the sobs.
She couldn’t adjust or move any part of her body to try and ease the pressure.
    He was larger than she remembered. “I want to kill you very
badly, but I can’t allow myself to.” He growled as he kept thrusting. She had
quieted her sobs and tears ran silently down her face. She just wanted to
disappear.
    He had already been inside of Lorintha and had his mouth on
that poor girl. He grabbed her throat and put pressure on it. She had to force
her swallows around it. He chuckled from above her.
    “You like this.” She cried harder because he was right. Her
body was doing the opposite of how she felt.

Chapter Eighteen
    He switched what he was doing and he started driving into
her G-spot and she knew she was about to have a mind blowing orgasm and hated
herself. What the fuck was wrong with her? She was moaning and breathing heavy
from crying. He let her throat go and grinned.
    “You are an amazing woman.” He leaned down and kissed her
neck and she felt the fangs as they
