I swallowed hard. “I like to know what’s going on in our home?—”

“No, I think you don’t trust me and Fox. That needs to end.”

I breathed out, deciding to just say it. “I’m worried I’m losing you guys.”

She turned in my arms and stared me down in the moonlight. I searched her face, hoping she’d give me a reason to believe I was being paranoid.

“You will absolutely lose everything if you keep it up, Lorenzo De Luca.”

Her words sent electricity through my chest. She was so sure, her words so even and succinct.

“You would leave me?” I rasped.

She said nothing, her green eyes on me.

I couldn’t take it. I gripped her face tightly, making her wince.

“No onefucking leaves me,” I said fiercely. “I told you before, there isn’t a place far enough in this world you could run and hide from me. If you think you’d take Fox with you, you’re wrong.”

“If I’m forced to run, Fox will already be gone,” she choked out, her eyes filled with tears.

I blinked at her words, finally getting it.

If something happened to Fox, she’d leave. She’d risk it all and run.

“Do you love me?” I gave her face a shake. “Tell me. Do you love me like you always have?”

Her bottom lip trembled as I squeezed her face. “No. I love you more.”

I exhaled, relaxing a little. “Do you only stay because of Fox?”

“I stay because you and the guys are my entire world. I stay because I love you all so much that I’m willing to sacrifice myfreedom for that love. I stay because I havehope, Enzo. That you’ll deliver on your promises.”

Anson flashed through my mind, making my anger surge. She wanted him. I knew that much, but I also knew it was a fuck no from me. I’d never let him in. Not only did the thought of him touching her piss me off, but I knew it would throw Cole for a loop. All hell would break loose. I could never betray him that way.

“And Anson?” I asked.

A tear slipped down her cheek and onto my hand.

“Do you want him to join us?” I shook her face again. “Truth only, Sunshine.”

“Enzo—”

“The truth,” I said in a deadly whisper.

“I-I do?—”

She didn’t get to finish her sentence. I moved like lightning and tossed her onto her back. She bounced, a soft gasp leaving her. In no time, I was looming over her and shoving her nightgown up.

I had my pants down, and my cock buried deep inside her body in the blink of an eye, earning another soft cry from her as I pinned her to my bed.

I slammed into her five times before she was writhing, her release rushing out of her body like a flood as she spasmed beneath me.

“Look at me,” I demanded, gripping her face again and forcing her to look at me. “He will never join. He will never fucking touch you. You belong to me. To the horsemen. No one else. Tell me you accept that.”

I slammed into her again, earning more cries from her as she wrapped her fingers tightly around my biceps.

“Tell me,” I shouted, plowing into her again, the headboard banging off the wall.
