Carter’s eyes swipe across my face and I dont know what expression I wear but he curses at whatever he finds and runs an agitated hand through his hair. “The way I want you, Rory…” His throat bobs on a swallow as he looks away, giving me his features in profile. “If you knew the things I’ve thought about doing to you, the different ways I’ve imagined us together, you would not be able to look me in the eye anymore.” But I am. I am looking him in the eyes ri

RORYI don’t realize I’ve dozed off during the car ride until I’m lifted into a pair of arms.My first instinct is to scream and fight but then just as I tense to do that, I catch a whiff of Carter’s amber, woody scent and I relax, settling against him. It’s a chore to force my eyes open, the lids weighed down by sleep. But when I eventually succeed in opening them, the sight of Carter’s gorgeous face etched in seriousness feels like a reward for winning the fight against sleep.I’m content to lay in his arms, staring at him until we walk into an elevator, then I frown. “Where are we?”Carter looks at me, surprised to find me awake. “How long have you been awake?”“Since you carried me from the car.”Shifting my weight onto one arm--which means he has to hold me tighter against his

RORYCarter rescued me.He came.When he’d first burst into the room and ruthlessly fought Blake like my own personal knight in shining armor, I’d first thought he was a figment of my own imagination and I’d just needed to feel him for myself. To confirm he’s actually real.I’d launched at him the second he loosened my binds and hadn’t wanted to let him go but then the cops came and I had to leave him to give my statement. They’d wanted me to come to the station with them for a full, detailed statement but dad had refused, telling them that I needed medical attention.I’m currently sitting in the back of the ambulance, my eyes on Carter as he speaks with the cops. His friend stands beside him. Adam, I think. He’s one of the reasons this mission was a success and I owe him my gratitude. He intervened at the right moment, provid

CARTERI climb carefully up the stairs of the dilapidated building, careful so my feet don’t make a sound.From what I’ve gathered so far, there’s no one else here. I mean there are still several floors for me to check but I doubt I’ll find anyone there either. If there are more people here then at least one should have been stationed at the entrance to stop anyone from trying to get in. And if there’s someone else on the top floor, then he should have taken me out the second I entered the street because as discreet as I’d tried to be, I’m still one big motherfucker and with the kind of view the building has, it shouldn’t have been difficult to spot me.I can hear them talking, so that makes it easy to single out the room they’re occupying from the other ones on this floor.Anticipation has my body strung tight as I creep stealthily down the hallw

RORY“Well, I got out.” He nods like he’s proud of himself. “But before I did, I met the best thing that’s ever happened to me. For the first time in my life, I found a woman who understood me. Wanna hear my most shocking discovery?” It’s obviously a rhetorical question, so no one says anything. “I found out that she’d been wronged by not just anyone but your shiny new husband.” He jerks his chin at dad. “That’s when I knew it was fate that brought us together.”My heart races in my chest. As far as I know, dad has a clean slate. I’m usually the problematic one. Who had dad gone and wronged now?Frown lines appear between dad’s brows as he appraises Harley Quinn. I see the same question that runs through my mind run through his. Who is she and how has he done her dirty?“Wanna introduce yourself to them, sugar?” Blake asks her.She steps forward then, cocks a hip, whips her mask

RORYElaine’s face is completely drained of color.I glance between them, wondering if I heard him correctly. Did this psycho just refer to my father’s wife as mom? ‘Mom’ as in the woman who gave birth to him?What in the actual fuck?Looking more closely at the both of them, I actually see a sort of resemblance and that’s when it finally clicks. I remember thinking that there was something familiar about him when I first saw his picture. Why it felt like I’d seen him before. Why his eyes had seemed so familiar…They’re Elaine’s eyes.They have the same eyes!That’s what I’d been trying to figure out then but had failed to make the connection. Of course, I hadn’t been able to. Who on earth could have convinced me that the man after my life was my own step mother’s son?A son we hadn’t heard of until today, mind you.

RORYI’ve lost track of time.I don’t know how long I’ve been in here.Hours?Days?Months?It can’t have been more than five or six hours but it certainly feels like months. I have no way of telling the time. I can only make a guess by how dark outside it is that it has to very late and there’s not much I can do with that really.The only thing it tells me is that I have been here awhile and no one has come for me. A heavy dread settles in my stomach and I begin to consider the possibility that I just might die here.When the Joker had asked for dad’s number, I’d first assumed it was because he wanted to demand for money before he let me go. But after Harley Quinn’s statement where she’d said dad would watch me die, I’m not so sur

CARTERI sit on the front steps of the house and get to work on lacing my shoes. Every morning before escorting Rory to work, I go for a run. It's not something I have to do considering that there's a basement gym in her house—which I've come to realise she barely uses but keep

CARTER “You’re wearing two different shoes. You know that right?”Rory frowns, looks down in confusion, then her eyes grow wide. “Oh, shit. I can’t believe I went out like that. I was so distracted, I literally just shoved my feet into the nearest things I could find.” Her head

RORYMy heart hasn't stopped it's racing pace by the time I step out of the elevator into one of the floors the company uses—the floor my boss' office is on. The walk to her office is done on auto-pilot, and when I get there, I knock on the door once and wait, trying my hardest
