“I don’t mind playing whatever game this is, but I want to make sure you’re alright.” “What are you going to do if I say no and tell you that I’ve been kidnapped by a drug cartel and shipped to South America?” I ask, my words dry. “Come find you, kill them all, and bring you home.” “What if I want to stay and rule over them?” “Then I’ll make you their queen.”

Probably.”

“Guess I’m alone again,” I murmur, eyes fixed on the door. “Just like always.” Suddenly, arms slide around my waist, yanking me back against a taller, solid form behind me. “Oh, sweetheart.” Cass buries his face in my hair with a sigh. “You’re not alone.” His grip tightens possessively, and I realize a normal person would be unnerved by the possessiveness in Cass’s hold and in his voice. “I’ll never leave you alone again, Winnie. You’re mine forever.”

“What are you going to do to me?” I ask, wondering if I should ask or if I really want to know the answer.”  It’s the right question, or maybe the wrong one. His small, teasing grin goes wide, showing off white teeth and a predatory smile. “I’m going to wreck you. I’m going to ruin you.
