I smiled as the realization she was actually dead set in on his face.
He wasn’t half as terrified as a normal person would be. And it was what the camera I paid Leah to keep hidden on her at all times caught afterward that beckoned the darkest of my demons to the surface.
I’d spent hours rewatching this video, stroking myself and coming to the grunt he released when he climaxed. And it was how perfect it felt when we came together that told me Preston Lucas was everything I’d been looking for. It was that feeling of dark euphoria that allowed him to possess my thoughts and plague my dreams.
Dirt covered the lens, and I cut off the video, smiling as I thought of all the fun I was about to have with him.
I readjusted myself before I grabbed the shovel and plastic tarp from the passenger side, then climbed out of the car.
It was time to go dig up the redhead I’d paid so much for and make sure she had a proper burial, and I had a proper partner…

Preston
I dropped my towel on the bench of the steam-filled shower room, stepping beneath the spray just as the last guy left.
The heat eased the tension in my exhausted muscles. I needed this moment of reprieve away from prying eyes.
I closed my eyes and let my body relax beneath the warm water. Moments later, another showerhead cut on, putting an end to my solitude.
I opened my eyes just as Tobias Benton stepped beneath the stream of water. I couldn’t help the momentary once over I gave his ass before I faced the shower wall again.
While Tobias’s honed and sculpted muscles were enough to shame a Roman gladiator, it wasn’t just his looks that made him hard to ignore. It was everything about him. From the way he held his shoulders to the way he looked down his nose at everyone around him, screaming of wealth and power. The Bentons had more money than God, thanks to Mr Benton developing surveillance technology that every government in the world wanted a part of, and Tobias was an heir to that seemingly endless fortune. More than anything, though, what drew me to Tobias was the way he watched me. I’d never spoken to him, but whenever I was around him, it seemed his dark gaze always waited for me.
Sure enough, when I looked over my shoulder again, his dangerous stare snagged mine.
With a smirk, he placed his back to the tile wall.
Water cascaded over his defined chest and abs. I was like a mouse in a trap, unable to look away as he trailed his hand down his stomach to his hard cock. There was something animalistic and raw to the way he fisted himself, something that made my dick twitch and beg for every sordid thing he could give.
Steam billowed in the space between us. Tension cloyed the air, promising to suffocate me as I watched Tobias’s fist pump with more purpose.
My balls grew heavy and tightened.
I’d only ever fucked girls, but this—this was erotic as fuck. It was alluring and taboo, something I told myself I shouldn’t want, but given the way my dick hardened, my body definitely wanted something from him—And he knew it.
I fought not to touch myself, but when Tobias dropped his head back on a low groan, I lost that battle.
I fisted myself, stroking a thumb over the bead of pre-cum on my tip as ribbons of come spurted from Tobias’s cock and splattered the shower floor.
As soon as he was done, he turned the water off. He hadn’t soaped up. He hadn’t washed his hair. It was as though the only reason he’d set foot in the shower was to give me a show. And I liked that thought.
His gaze dropped to my hard cock as he wrapped a towel around his waist. His teeth raked his bottom lip before he stepped out and rounded the lockers.
I may have never publicly dated men, but that didn’t mean I wasn’t into them. I’d kept those desires hidden only because my self-righteous, church on Sunday father would disapprove. He was a good man, so long as everything in his life fit into a perfect box. I did not. While I didn’t care for his approval, he funded the college fees my scholarship didn’t. But… Tobias Benton made forbidden seem so intoxicating.
A football players entered the locker room, and I turned back to the wall, hiding the erection Tobias had instigated. I finished my shower, then dressed.
Thoughts of Tobias still danced in my head when I stepped into the hallway, but every inch of that lust vanished when I spotted Sarah Brown standing by the bulletin board outside the locker rooms.
She’d been hassling me every day for the last week. Every day since Leah had gone missing.
