“You want to be a bad girl?” Fingers shaking, I rest my hand on her ass.
She jolts.
“You want to test me, Carina?” I rear back and smack her ass hard, my palm stinging as she screams against my palm.
She tries to get up, but I shove her back down, splaying my fingers across her back as she writhes.
“You want to toy with me?” I slap her again, hard.
She arches and pants against my palm.
If I ran my hand lower, right to the honey between her legs, I know I’d find her wet. That thought is another shot of adrenaline in my blood. I slap her ass again and again.
Her cries turn into moans, and she whimpers against my palm. My cock is so hard, pressing against her stomach as she breathes hard.
“Remember this, Carina.” I slap her again, softer this time. “The next time you want to use that smart mouth on me, remember what happened here tonight. Because I can get into your room. I can get to you anywhere at any time. I can find you, and I promise you, I will give you this same treatment until you do as you’re told.” I rub her red ass, squeezing and feeling her until the roar between my ears demands I throw her to the floor and fill her with my seed.
That’s when I lift her and lay her on the bed, then stand and walk out of the room, closing the door softly behind me.

CARINA
Ocean: I need you to calm all the way the fuck down.
Magic: This is not the breakdown I thought we’d be having today.
Ocean: Right? You’re the one that should still be up on some non-sleeping binge listening to police scanners and watching monitors while triple checking you covered everything.
Magic: Kinda nice that you’re not the one freaking out.
Ocean: But are we really shocked that Rebel is about to well… Rebel?
Me: I can see everything you guys are saying.
A second after I hit send on the message, the whole thread disappears.
Me: Ha ha
Magic: I got jokes sometimes.
Ocean: So I think maybe you should talk to that brother of yours.
I let out a long sigh, but I know she’s right. I can’t run away. My brother would send out a search team or kill off a few families thinking they’d kidnapped me if I did. I have to do this the rational way. Boo.
Me: Is there anything else happening today beyond my meltdown?
I’d blown up their phones this morning saying I wanted out of the country. That I wanted a new identity, a passport and so on. I googled a bunch of places that I could possibly move to that would get me as far away from Gilly as possible.
I still can’t believe what he did last night. At that moment, with his hands on me, I'd been so lost in him. He’d given me a taste of something I had no idea I wanted. Then in true Gilly form, he did what he always does to me. He turned his back on me and walked out, leaving me there aching. Only this time it was in more places than one.
Magic: I’m still running the guy's face you shot.
Me: The other two?
I expect her to tell me they’re in some hospital in the burn unit or something but nope.
Magic: Dead.
I stare at the one word. I don’t care that they’re dead. They are lower than scum as far as I’m concerned. Not only do they prey on women, they make sure they drug them so that they have no chance to fight back when they do it. The only thing that surprised me was how easily Magic gave the information.
Me: You okay?
Magic: No, the coroner just put in the report. Cause of death for both was a bullet to the head. Also, not one hospital in a hundred miles of that location treated anyone for two gunshot wounds last night.
Ocean: Mystery man is in the wind.
Me: Find him.
That is not good. He saw my face, and I saw his. There was something familiar about him that still pulls at the back of my mind, but I can’t place it.
Magic: I’m trying.
A knock sounds at my door. I message the girls that I’ll check back in later.
“Come in,” I shout, knowing it could only be a handful of people that would knock on my door. Angelica pokes her head in.
“You ever coming out of your bedroom?” I see her sister Bianca behind her. Bianca is one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met in my life.
Is that what I’m lacking? Angelica has an inner sweetness too. Is that why I’m not so appealing? Gilly’s words from last night run through my mind. Am I just a brat who's gotten everything she wanted handed to her in life? Well, everything besides Gilly, that is.
