“Both of them.”
Then I headed up the stairs

happened to Sofia when the job was finished. Before looking back at him, “what do you want with me? Hmm? Keep as a prize or a pet? I bet you have millions of girls who want your dick.”

I knew what was to come, I asked for it… I ask for him to hit me, to shoot me, or cut me.

I stepped away from the car, then looked back at her.
“And before you start asking again—yes.”
I spread my arms.
“You're free.”
She'd been fucking obsessed with that word.
I looked at the driver and pointed toward Sofia.
“Take her wherever she wants.”
Then toward Grae.

[Nico @NicoVassari]

I was still grinning when I pressed the barrel against the side of her head. “You’re free when I say you’re free, Sophie.” I held it there just long enough to make the point, then pulled it away and dropped back against the seat like nothing had happened,

I looked at Nico, completely breathless.

“I better be free after this shit.”

I pointed between us, my eyes narrowing.

“Drive.”
The trunk slammed.
I shoved Sofia into the backseat, climbed in after her, and the car tore out of the alley.
Only then did I finally sit back.
My breathing was fast. My ears were ringing. Adrenaline ripping through every fucking inch of me.

@HerStoker went backward.
@CatesInnocence behind him dropped with him.
Then the whole place fucking exploded.
Screaming. Chairs scraping. Glass hitting the floor. People diving beneath tables, parents grabbing children, somebody knocking over an entire display trying to get away.

[Nico @NicoVassari]

“TAKE HER FUCKING LEGS OR I'LL SHOOT YOU TOO!”
We moved.
Straight back through the chaos. Through the kitchen. Out the same door we'd entered through.
The driver was waiting.
Engine running.
Trunk open.
Zip ties already in his hand.
I dumped Grae into the trunk and secured her

“My fucking earrings.”
There was someone behind them too. Watching too carefully. Standing too straight. Cop, security, whatever the fuck she was, she stood out immediately.
Didn’t matter.
Everything happened at once.
I raised the gun.
Two shots cracked through the shop.

There.
I recognized him immediately.
David.
Looking goofy as fuck with an ice cream in his hand, completely oblivious.
And beside him—
My eyes dropped to her ears.
I smiled.

“Next time, maybe don’t use me as a pillow.” I glanced back at him with a teasing smirk. “Although… you weren’t exactly terrible at it.”
