CHAPTER 24: Please, be gentle

"Let go of me, you big dumb fuckers!!"

Even before the guards could fully drag Raquel out of the room, Ezekiel's arms wrapped around my waist from behind.

I can sense his superiority and possessiveness lingering around me no matter how I am contradicting those senses.

I bit my lower lip and wiped away the remaining tears from my eyes.

This is the first time Raquel and I have seen each other in three years. I pray that this is not just a dream. I hope that her promise to help me escape this place is not just a dream.

"Did you use my shampoo?" Goosebumps formed on my arms as Ezekiel smelled my hair and neck with intimacy. His grip on me tightened, and I held my breath.

From outside the room, I could hear Raquel screaming and causing a commotion. But Ezekiel acted as if nothing was happening, and it felt like we were the only two people in the world.

"You smell even better with my scent printed on you." His warm breath blew into my sensitive ear.

I struggled to swallow my saliva.
