but all he cared about in that minute was Jo.
She looked pale, and he could see blood on her mouth and under her nose. It was a
sight be would never forget. Injured, afraid, and happy to see him—her bond-mate.
“Are you okay?”
“Get us out of here please, Nic,” she cried.
It only took one yank at the door to get inside. He dropped down beside her and
wrapped his arms around her.
“You came,” she mumbled into his chest.
“Of course. I said I would.” He gently cupped her face. Yes, there was blood on it. She
also had a bruise. “He hit you,” he said, not hiding his anger.
“Not now, please,” she pleaded with him.
He put his hands on the chains against the wall and pulled. She cried out and landed in
his lap. Then lifting the cuffs with the chains still attached to her wrists, she shook them at
him. “Get these off.”

After disposing of the cuffs, he picked up the blanket that had fallen off and wrapped it
around her. “Let’s get you out of here.” He picked her up.
“We have to save these other girls too.”
“Who are they?”
“Others Roger took.”
Nic nodded. “Christian and Julian will help them.”
Both women watched him with wide, scared eyes.
As he exited, stepping around the door he’d yanked off, she asked. “Where’s Roger?”
Nic only grunted.
“Did you kill him?”
Growling, he stared down at her. “Not yet.”
“Nic, you can’t kill him.”
“Yes, I can,” he said grimly.
“Nic.”
“Not to worry, baby, your boyfriend wasn’t here when I got in. I have to find him first.”
She relaxed in his arms. He smiled when she said bitterly, “Oh, he’s not my boyfriend.
We are so over now.”
No, he sure as hell wasn’t, and Nic was glad he wouldn’t have to fight her on that fact.
Jo was his.
“He didn’t wait,” Nic heard Julian say as he reached the top of the stairs.
“Did you really think he would?” was Christian’s response.
Nic grinned at the two men as he exited the building. “Look what I found just lying
around.”
Christian’s lips twitched, but Julian laughed out right.
Pulling her face from Nic’s neck, she looked at them. “There’re other girls down there.”
“We’ll take care of them.” Christian assured her.
“Don’t hurt them. They’re innocent,” Jo cried.
Christian frowned but didn’t comment as Nic walked away with her still in his arms.

The bed was warm, the covers soft, and the body she was tucked against was heavenly.
Jo watched the rise and fall of Nic’s naked chest. The night before he had taken her back to
his house where Kristen had been waiting. Jo had fallen into her sister’s arms. She had
decided while being chained to the wall that she didn’t care if her sister was an evil, soulless
monster. She wouldn’t give her up. She didn’t think her sister was any of those bad things,
but it didn’t matter. Nic hadn’t wanted to let her out of his sight when they returned. So
when Kristen said she would help Jo shower and get into clothes, Nic hadn’t looked too fond
of the idea.
Christian had helped by telling Nic they needed to talk about what to do next, so Jo had
gone up the stairs with Kristen.
Nic had been waiting in the room when she’d emerged clean and dressed. After tucking
her into bed, he walked Kristen downstairs. Julian, Kristen, and Christian were all staying in
the house. So were the other two girls so they could keep an eye on them.
Jo figured she should have felt uncomfortable with all of them so close, but she didn’t.
She knew as she stared at Nic’s handsome face that everything they’d told her was true. She
knew in her heart that she belonged with Nic, but her head wasn’t as easily convinced.
“Why are you staring at me?” Nic asked without opening his eyes.
She jumped and ducked her head in embarrassment at being caught.
He laughed and rolled on top of her.
She could feel his naked body against her, and even though she was fully clothed, she
started to warm.
“How are you feeling?” he asked, kissing the side of her neck.
Jo tried to take inventory of her body, but the feel of his tongue against her skin was
distracting.
“Hmm, goooooooood,” she murmured.
He laughed again. “Good?” He followed the question with a slight nip at her skin.
“When you’re doing that, yes,” she answered breathlessly as his hand crept up under
her shirt.
He smiled against her soft flesh. “Well, in that case, I must ensure you feel very good.”
He trailed his tongue down her neck while he cupped her breast.
She shivered as his thumb teased one nipple.

“Mmm.” She fisted her hands into his hair.
“We shouldn’t be doing this,” he told her as he pushed up her shirt and teased the other
nipple with his tongue. “You’re still recovering.”
She arched into his mouth. “Uh huh.”
He laved one breast, drawing out a low moan, before moving to the other. “You have
bruises on your face and wrists.”
“Uh huh.”
His mouth travelled lower and she shifted restlessly. She opened her legs wider to
adjust for his body. When he circled her belly button with his tongue, she laughed softly.
“Then what are you doing?”
One hand brushed against her wet pussy, and she bucked.
“Making sure you don’t have any more bruises,” he said and ran his tongue along the
waistband of her sweats.
“Ohhh, maybe you should check lower.”
“Maybe I should.” He pulled the sweats down slowly and she lifted her hips to help.
Once he had her naked, he settled back in and took his time, running one hand up her leg
and kissing above her pelvis.
She grabbed to his hair again. “Nic.”
“Still looking for bruises,” he said as he continued lower.
When the tip of his tongue ran over her hot core, she moaned again.
“Find any?” She breathed out heavily.
“Mmm, might be one right here,” he told her before stabbing his tongue inside.
She cried out and her hands tightened in his hair.
He continued to tease her most sensitive area. And when he circled her clitoris with his
thumb, she pushed her hips into him.
“Ohhhhhhhh.” She could feel the pressure building. “Nic, please,” she cried as her
hands tightened almost painfully.
He grunted in approval and added a finger.
Her hips bucked faster, and he opened her farther, adding a second finger.
“Nic. Oh my…”

The climax was strong, and she rode it out, her hips jerking a rhythm that was theirs
alone.
With his fingers still thrusting inside her, he covered her body. Her eyes were open
when he leant in and kissed her. Pleasure swamped her body when he replaced his fingers
with his cock.
He thrust into her and she tightened her legs around him. They watched each other,
neither one wanting to break eye contact. She met each thrust with just as much enthusiasm.
“More,” she cried and he pushed her legs up under his arms. She was trying to get as
close to him as possible. She had such a desperate need, and only Nic could fill it.
