All Chapters of His Undercover Submissive: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

~Ryder~The moment we step out of the shower, the rhythmic chirp of the sat phone cuts through the tense silence of the bathroom. Honestly, it is a relief. It gives us both something else to focus on, a shield against the tension vibrating between us.I swallow down the bitter taste of disappointment. Her flat-out refusal to believe me feels like a blade twisting straight into my chest. All the ground we’d gained, all the trust I’d been breaking my back to build with her… where the fuck is it? I know I am throwing a massive, reality-shattering accusation at her, but she could at least try to meet me halfway. She could at least try to believe me.Lila charges past me straight to the phone, her wet feet slapping against the tile. “Jacobs,” she barks into the receiver.After she rattles off her security clearance code, a muffled male voice buzzes on the other end of the line. I stand back, watching her as she gives a series of professional “yes, sirs,” before finally wrapping up w

~Lila~Crap! I can’t go anywhere alone with him. It is too dangerous. What if Ryder and Zane can’t follow?Fearing that I’ve overplayed my hand, I cast my eyes down again. “Master Ryder told me not to wander from this area.”He grabs my hand. “So sweetly obedient. Such a shame…” He sighs. “There is a sofa against the wall. That’s not too far.”I breathe a sigh of relief. It is a bit shadowed for my comfort, but even without a weapon, I am well trained in self-defense. Ryder and Zane can still see me. They’ll step in if anything goes seriously wrong.With a nod, I follow him. He settles himself on the sofa, then pats his thighs. I hesitate.Jordan scowls. “I won’t punish you… yet. You merely look like a sub in need of comfort, and my job is to provide all guests on the dungeon floor what they need.”The slime is stretching the privileges attached to his authority, but I do my best to look understanding.“Master Ryder might paddle me if he sees me… but I could use cuddling.”I

~Ryder~I stare at the screen, my mind racing, trying to comprehend exactly what I am seeing. Holy son of a bitch!Adam fucking Vance, Lila’s stepfather, is standing and ogling the two bound women as Allison has her mouth raped by a resort employee. The other is sobbing, chained against the wall, her ass a throbbing red. The bastard barks something at her, and I damn the fact that I can’t hear any audio with the images. But Adam speaks a universal language when he picks up the crop at the woman’s feet and ruthlessly swats her ass again. The poor girl’s shoulders shake harder as she does her best to curl into herself and escape.“C’mon, man!” Zane tugs on my arm. “The one in the suit could be Sire. We’ve got to get in there and save the women before something bad happens to them.”Just like that, the pieces of the puzzle snap into place.Before her death, my mother had organized a neighborhood effort to locate a missing teen. Vancr, with his law enforcement c

~Lila~“You and I both know that you’re here to bring me down. I won’t let it happen.” Kantor says with the Glock aimed at my head. “I didn’t tell Jordan about you because he’s a terrible actor. He would have given us away. Come with me now.”As he grabs my wrist and pulls, my mind races. I have no doubt that if he gets me alone, he’d either kill her or sell her. No way am I going down without a fight.For a moment, I drop my gaze and my shoulders in defeat, letting Kantor get comfortable with the thought that the little woman isn’t going to struggle. As soon as I draw closer, I shock him with a knee to the balls, then deliver a round kick to his face. He stands as much as his aching testicles allow and throws a mean right cross. I bob out of the way, send my left fist screaming into his jaw, then my right into his nose in a nasty one-two. When the impact of the blow shoves his head back, I charge, grabbing his salt-and-pepper waves, then slam his forehead onto the desk beside him

~Lila~“Adam!” I yell.“Shut up, you ungrateful bitch. I raised you, and you did what? Chose the guy who fucked you good over me.”Shock washes over me. Ice spreads through my veins as I struggle against his hold. “What are you doing? Let go!”“I don’t think so, princess.”“Do it, you motherfucker! Let go now,” Ryder yells. “Or I’ll blow your head off.”Adam holds firm, the gun biting into the soft skin of my temple. I realize that he is using me as a shield so that Ryder can’t take a clear shot. And Ryder clearly knows it. Terror and frustration burn from his blue eyes. He stares down the gun at Adam like an avenger, his finger taut around the trigger, just waiting for any opportunity.“Not before I blow hers off first.” Adam’s arm moves from my middle to loop around my throat and squeezes my windpipe.I choke. Before this, I would have never believed my own stepfather capable of hurting me. Now, I have no doubt he’ll do exactly as threatened
