I hear a gagging noise behind me and turn around to see Alex bent over, his hands on his knees trying not to vomit. Finn is smiling, nodding his head. Jenks is rubbing Alex’s back. “Dude, you kill for a fucking living.”
Alex shakes his head and stands upright, crossing his legs with his hand over his dick like he’s next.
I look at Colt, who is staring at me intently. He’s got his legs wide, and arms crossed over his chest. He arches a brow as if to ask me if I need help, and I give him a smile.
I can do it myself.
Turning back to Mike, I shove the jagged edge into his thigh and pull the trigger. His body jerks while he sobs into the duct tape.
Then I do it again to his other leg. As I smile, a sick and twisted feeling of satisfaction comes over me when I see the blood run down his hairy legs.
I decide to hit both arms. I had to be quick with Nate because my life depended on it. But right now? I’ve got Colt and his friends here. I’m safe and can take my time.
Crying, he shakes his head, and I hit him in the stomach. My breathing picks up at how pathetic he looks. This was me—a sobbing mess on the floor—and it makes my teeth clench. How helpless I was. What would they have done to me if I hadn’t killed Nate by the time Mike returned home?
I pull the trigger again on his hip. And then on his knee.
Finn reloads it for me twice. I pull the trigger over and over. Holding it up against Mike’s body, he hangs there, head falling forward while I pump him full of nails. But he’s not the one who’s screaming, I am. Tears run down my face while my heart pounds in my chest. I don’t let go until I run out again. Letting it drop to my side, Finn reaches out for it, but I step away from him, needing a moment.
“Princess.” I blink tears away to see Colt now standing in front of me, and he reaches out his hand. “Hand me the nail gun.”
I shake my head, too tired to go on but not ready to let go.
“It’s empty again.” He looks down at it dangling by my side, softly tapping my thigh. “He’s dead. It’s over.”
I sniff, and his green eyes search mine. “You did good, princess.” His warm hands cup my face, and I lick my wet lips. “How about we go home now?”
Yeah. That’s what I need. Him and me in our bed. The world falls away when it’s just us. He knows how to make nothing else matter.
I hold out the gun, and he takes it, handing it off to Finn.
Turning back to face me, Colt kisses me. His tongue invades my mouth, and I moan into his. My heavy arms wrap around his neck, and I open up for him, letting him dominate me.
One of his arms wraps around my back while his other hand holds my head in place. He growls deep in his chest when he tastes my tears.
I don’t know what’s going to happen today or tomorrow, but I do know that no matter what, Colton Knox will be by my side, reminding me that he belongs to me. And I will crawl on my hands and knees, begging him to make me his.
The end
