I squeezed her throat softly. “There were people that came after me tonight because I purchased back some of those women from the auction I found you at and released them back to their families. There are a few people that aren’t very happy with me right now.”

Her eyes widened. “You’re kidding.”

I quickly backed away, allowing the burning sensation of her skin against my palm to fade away. I wasn’t sure the hold this woman had over me, or my bodily sensations. But, I couldn’t let it go to my head.

Thin ice, Teo.

“I never kid about something so precious,” I murmured.

I turned my back to her, but she continued her line of questioning. “How many women did you set free?”

I shrugged. “Does it matter?”

“It matters to me. I mean, if you purchased the bulk of them back, then maybe there’s a chance to end the auction for good. You know, so no one else has to get hurt.”

I shook my head. “I don’t wield that kind of power. At least, not yet.”

A long silence fell between us before I heard the bed creak softly. And when her voice spoke, I felt as if the angels themselves were talking directly to me.

“You really did that for those girls?” she asked softly.

I peered over my shoulder. “Hard to think of the Devil that way?”

She crooked an eyebrow. “I never said you were the Devil.”

I turned my eyes back toward the door. “You need better judgement, then.”

“Wait!”

I grinned to myself. “Yes, Miss Pettigrew?”

She drew in a broken breath. “Maybe I should take a closer look at those stitches. Just to make sure I did them right.”

I slowly turned around to face her. “I thought you said you’d never done this kind of thing before.”

And when she didn’t have a response for me, I stalked toward her like a lion in wait.

“Teo?” she asked breathlessly.

I locked my eyes with her as I stood just beyond her knees. “Open.”

She paused. “Uh, what?”

I bent forward. “I said, open.”

When she opened her mouth for me, I almost chuckled. Almost, at least. Her tongue looked ripe for the taking and her soft cheeks beckoned to my already-hardening cock. I raised myself up and drew in a deep breath as everything inside of me began puckering. My balls twitched with need. My muscles flexed with a desire to tremble at the mercy of her throat. And with those doe eyes of hers staring up at me, I couldn’t resist a second longer.

So, I started unbuckling my belt.

Her eyes fell to my crotch as I slid the leather out from its belt loops. I cracked the leather midair, watching her jump as a wicked smile spread across my face. I made quick work of sliding my pants down to my knees before pulling out my cock. And as it stood there at attention, dripping from its tip, I watched Miss Pettigrew’s eyes widen.

“Holy shit,” she whispered.

I slid my fingers through her hair. “Open wide.”

The second she parted her lips, I slid my cock along her tongue. A groan fell from my lips as my head fell back, my hand twisting tighter into her soft tendrils. Her hands slid up and down my thighs. I felt her swallowing and gagging around my girth. I gnashed my teeth together as her cheeks hollowed out, and the sucking sounds she made sent me into an otherworldly dimension.

“Fucking hell,” I growled.
