 “You’re hurting me, Jacob,” I choke out.

“I’m hurting you? You’re fucking hurting me, princess.” He slams his left hand against his chest and it makes a sharp deep thudding noise. “Right here. You’re hurting me right fucking here.”

I whimper as my back hits the door. This isn’t right. I shouldn’t be scared of Jacob.

Then he is on me. His lips are hard and bruising and he shoves his tongue straight into my mouth. He’s trying to wipe away any remnant of Winston from me. Jacob grunts from his throat. He pulls away and my lips tingle from being crushed. “I’m the only one who loves you, princess. I’m the only one who really cares. Winston just wants to fuck you. He doesn’t really care.”

He’s hurting. I can see in his eyes and hear in the crushing pain in his voice that he’s hurting. It hurts me that he’s hurting.

I hurt him, I realize. I upset him. I need to fix it. I press kisses to his face and run my hands across the back of his neck because I know he likes it. I know it soothes him. And he needs me to soothe him right now.

He starts to unbuckle my jeans. “He needs to know who you belong to, princess. You need to know who you belong to.”

“You. Of course, baby. I know.” It’s because Jacob loves me so much that he’s like this. He just loves me this much.

My jeans are stripped from me and kicked aside. I’m shoved back against the door, the edge of his left forearm pressing against my throat. His fingers slip inside my underwear. “He needs to fucking know who this pussy belongs to.”

I gasp as tingles rush through my body making me lightheaded. How can this feel so wrong yet so right? “Yours, baby,” I choke out. “All yours. Please, let me−”

“Mine. That’s fucking right.”

His hand pulls from my underwear then I hear a sing of metal. When I look down I see a knife gripped in his right hand. Oh God. What is he doing?

“Do you know, princess? Do you really? Or do I need to teach you a lesson?”

“No, Jacob, Please.” Oh God. He wouldn’t. He couldn’t. My stomach twists and I choke on my own bitter bile. This is what horror tastes like.

He removes his forearm and I gasp for air. He places the blade against the side of my neck. The cold metal burns my skin. I squeeze my eyes shut.

He leans in, his breath hot around me. He whispers in my ear, words I will never forget.

“Your body, your blood, your life…belong to me.”

Bound Forever (#2)

Prologue

“Did you miss me?” he whispers. And I fight a shiver.

Snake shoves me into the car. He gets in behind me and Jacob gets in beside me, forcing me to the middle of the back seat. I am squashed in between the devil and the snake.

As the last car door is shut, the noise from outside disappears and suddenly I feel like I’m underwater.

Jacob leans in and tucks a lock of hair behind my ears. My skin burns at his poisonous touch and I flinch away from him. He grabs my chin and forces my head to one side so he can whisper into my ear. “You took away the one thing I loved. Now I’m going to take away yours.”

Through the window I see Garfield pushing Caden down to the ground on all fours. Even from here Caden looks defeated. His tied hands clutch the dirt as he watches the car I’m in drive away. His mouth is open in a scream. Garfield kicks him to one side and our eye contact is broken.

Now Caden is in profile as Garfield steps around him, putting them face to face. He raises his gun to Caden’s chest. Everything goes still and slow.

This isn’t happening. I feel like I’m watching a movie from the frame of the car window. It’s not real. It can’t be. If this were a movie this is when the cops would show up. Or Mick. Or someone…

But this isn’t the movies. The sound of my heartbeat thuds in my ears low and slow.

Glub, glub.

My heart swells with so much helpless fear it’s about to burst. In my head I’m begging him, No, Garfield. You’re a good man. Please. No.

But Garfield pulls the trigger. His hand recoils slightly from the shot. Caden jolts as if he has been electrocuted. A spray of blood spits out from Caden’s back and I swear I can see where the bullet has cut its deadly line across his heart. My own heart explodes with pain as if Garfield has shot me too.

Caden is frozen, held up for the tiniest of moments, shock clear in the profile of his face. Then he falls forward.

My Caden. My love. Falls into the dirt. Dead.

Yes, ladies! Caden’s back… and he bought some of his friends with him 😉

Mark your calendars for 6 August…

And oh, what’s that? Might there be a release day SALE for Bound #2 happening? Stay tuned… in the meantime, here’s a teaser. Feel free to share Caden, er, I mean, the teaser around 😉
