CHAPTER NINE

Ajax

My brows shoot up at her words, and a chuckle escapes me.

Little shit.

The piece of crap beneath me takes advantage of my distraction.

Shooting his elbow back, he connects with the side of my head hard enough to tilt me backward and loosen the grip I have on his head.

Well, that achieved nothing.

I’m still on his back. All he’s done is piss me off more. I was going to release him anyway. Dickhead.

My girl knew that, and that’s why she’s mad. She knows what’s coming.

Kind of, I smirk.

This piece of shit’s not getting anywhere near her again. The only one who touches her from now on is me.

Glancing up, I see Lulu running through the trees. She’s pushing herself, and the distance between us is almost too much to bear.

After tonight, I’ll always be close, and on the few occasions that I’m not, she’ll be bound and gagged, waiting for me to come home. Until I can trust her not to run, she’ll never have a moment’s peace. I’ll own her—mind, body, and soul.

Every part of her being will crave me. She won’t want me to leave. More importantly, she won’t want to leave.

Lulu will be mine, just as much as I am hers. She doesn’t know it yet, but this woman owns me. I’ll do anything for her, and anything to keep her . . . which she’s about to find out.

This is going to be fun, my best kill yet. I smirk.
