“What happened in that dungeon was a ruse. Turns out it was used against us. It’s you I love, not Shay.” He stepped closer. “Let me hold you.”
“No one will touch me again. Cancel the forensic team. I don’t want them near me.”
“Mia—”
“I mean it.”
Ask him…ask him about her.
I studied his face, trying to read him and work through the fog of uncertainty and mistruths.
“Can I ask you something else?”
“Anything.”
“When you were at The Dionysus Club, did you meet a submissive there?”
He perked up. “Yes. You know about her?”
I forced myself to swallow the lump in my throat.
“I tried to do the right thing.” He shook his head. “That club was one big mistake.”
“Even that girl?”
“I wanted to help her.”
“Like you helped me?”
He fixed his gaze on me. “Nothing happened between us, Mia. You believe me, right?”

“Right. You need to rest.”
My chest ached as though my heart had fractured.
It’s time to let him go.
“I think it’s for the best, Cameron…”
“Say it. Anything, Mia, and I’ll make it happen.”
“I don’t want to marry you.”
“We can wait.”
“No.” I pulled the blanket up over me. “I think we should break up.”
“Mia?”
