Page 49 of Petty Deadly Gorgeous

“You are both hunting the same animal.” Jon’s voice whispered, and my eyes widened.

“Your piece of shit partner hurt other girls?” I growled and grabbed a cup, sending it flying at the back door.

“Who?” He demanded and stepped up to me, grabbing my shoulders. “Who else did he touch, Anna?”

A sardonic laugh came out as I gritted my teeth. “Two of ours. And for that, he will die.”

His hands loosened. “No.” His head shook. “Tell me not Maddie.”

My eyes narrowed. “How did you know?” I brought my arms up and knocked his hands from my body before shoving him back. “How the fuck did you know?”

Dom blew out a hard breath. “It was his behavior that made me wonder. Then he disappeared at the diner for a significant amount of time and when Maddie returned, she was different. Almost broken.”

“Tis true, Countess.” Jon sat back. “I found Dom at the library researching.”

“I left the library and went to talk to one girl, but she…” He dropped to his knees. “She committed suicide.” Tears streaked down his cheeks. “So I checked on another girl and she gave me the confirmation I needed.” Dom lifted his head and his yell shook the frames on the wall.

“Your services won’t be needed.” I scowled. “We take care of our own.”

In the blink of an eye, he jumped up from the floor and wrapped his hand around my throat, holding me tight. “I. Am. Your. Kind.”

Darkness flashed in his blue eyes, and his face changed before my eyes. His hairline moved, giving him a deep widow’s peak, and it had replaced his wavy locks with shorter, lighter hair. His nose grew to a long point and his lips flattened.

I gasped for air and grabbed his arm. My voice tried to come out, but his hold was too strong. I knew why I felt connected to him. It wasn’t only the darkness inside us, and before blackness filled my vision, I saw a blast from my past.

Anna went limp under my hold. I released her throat and caught her, holding her tight against me.

“Dammit! My anger got the best of me.” I whispered and felt Jon at my back.

His finger traced down my spine, giving me the chills before his hand cupped my shoulder. “Come. Let’s lay her down.”

It took some adjusting to scoop her up in my arms, and then I turned and followed Jon up the steps and down the hall. He opened the large oak door at the end of the hall and step aside to allow me to pass by him.

After he closed the door, he flipped on the lights, and awe filled me. The large king bed served as a focal piece and a place to sleep. The comforter on top of the bed reminded me of a pool of blood with its deep burgundy color. She had a lighter hue for the drapes and they had stained the furniture mahogany.

I walked over to the bed and set her down gently, and Jon dimmed the lights.

“You should lie beside her, and I’ll take you through a regression while we wait for her to wake.” He smiled. “If you need help to relax…” He ran his hand softly in circles on my ass cheek. “I can do a special method for you.”

My cock liked that idea.

“Why are you so curious about who I was?”

He nuzzled my neck and ran his forked tongue up to my ear. “I know who you were. It’s time for you to see the truth.”

“For the record, I think this is ridiculous.” One of his arms reached around me, stroking my ever-growing cock through the jeans. “Mmmm.” I relaxed into his embrace.

“Get on the bed.” He stepped back, letting me walk around the bed to stretch out.

I kicked my shoes off and sat down on the edge, taking a few deep breaths before lying back and stretching out. My head bounced on the pillow twice to get it fluffed for my head and I folded my hands on my chest.

“I’m ready.”

His rich laughter helped me relax, and then she climbed beside me, stretching out to touch my body with his. He covered my hands with his and I felt his warm breath on the shell of my ear tickling it.

“All I need is for you to relax.” His soothing voice murmured in my ear. “Listen to my words, breathe in two, three, four and release that breathe slowly.” His thumb stroked the sensitive area on the side of my wrist as he continued.
