Paige
Caleb and I were done keeping secrets from each other. Everything needed to be
resolved before his trial; first and foremost, the depth of deceit we’d failed
to unravel. The stakes were higher. And as our past, present, and future
collided, we should be on the same page. But what if I knew something that
would destroy him, and us?
I would do anything for him. Anything for us.
Caleb
My father was a liar, a manipulator, a killer. He was—me. Only, the
longer I’d been away from him, the more those broken pieces of myself had been
gravitating back together. Because the mind was a powerful thing. And love—was
a weakness. A strength. A four-letter word for loyalty. Where was mine? Not in
the hands of the man who’d made me this way. So I didn’t have to wonder what
would be the worst thing that could ever happen to me. Instead I wondered,
could I stop it?

My eyes
followed Paige through the mirror as she walked over to the weight rack. I
didn’t want to include her in everything that went down for her safety, but it
was the only way to prevent her from taking off again, trying to do it on her
own.

She stopped

picking up one in each hand.

“It’s been

one and then the other dumbbell—“work them out a little.”

I walked up
to her and plucked the weights from her hands before setting them back onto the
rack. “This isn’t starting slow. Two-pound weights are. Better yet, no weights
at all.” I touched her stomach. “You were a personal trainer. You know to use
your core even when you’re only doing curls. With the added weight, it’ll be
too much stress on your stomach.”

“I know,
but I don’t want you to push too hard too fast. If you pull something, it’s
going to take you twice as long to recover.” I bent and retrieved my weights
from the floor and set them on the rack. “We have to go anyway. That was
Stuart. We’re meeting with him and Langley.” My arm dropped around her
shoulders as I guided her to the door.

The door to
the gym opened, revealing a guard standing in the hallway, so I lowered my head
and whispered in her ear, “Cock.”

Over the
past few days, she’d started to do this thing where she casually cupped my dick
and balls, and it had been driving me fucking nuts. It didn’t help that I got
embarrassingly hard every time she touched me. Like I was getting this second.

This
pent-up need to fuck her was making me fear the moment I finally did. Hard,
possessive. Caveman-style, I was sure. I was also sure her body wasn’t ready
for that.

“Tell me. Later. In detail.” My hand circled around the nape of her neck, and I
caressed. “I would love to hear them.”
