“Does that meanIdidn’t cause those bruises?”
She pulls back from me, startled. “Huh?”
“I didn’t cause those bruises,” I breathe into her hair, answering my own question. “Ray did. I didn’t hurt you.”
“Of course you didn’t cause the bruises,” she frowns in utter confusion. “Why would you think you did? I didn’t even see you that day.”
I don’t care that I’m revealing a lot more than I probably should. I’m justsorelieved. “I blacked out. I thought I’d hurt you. Fuck me, I thought I’d hurt you. But I didn’t, did I?”
“You blacked out? Were you drinking?” Her voice is muffled from how hard I’m hugging her to me.
“Something like that.” I let out a loud breath. “No, nothing like that. Devil has been fucking with me. That’s why you need to stay away from them, okay? Stay away from Ray Campbell, from his father, from Devil Tower. All of it is bad news. Promise me you’ll stay away.”
She hesitates.
So I lift a hand up and smack her ass hard. She yelps, herreaction reminding me just how sore she is. But I’ll happily make her a lot more sore if that’s what I need to do to keep her safe. In fact, I’ll happily make her more sore, period.
“I promise,” she whimpers.
Something tells me that the concept of a promise isn’t as meaningful to her as it is to me. But I’ll just have to be satisfied with hers for the time being.
After all, I have an asshole to kill.

“Pumpkin! Wake up time! Come on down and eat breakfast!”
“Uh huh, Dad,” I mutter, wiping a line of drool from my mouth.
The next minute, I’m stuffing my head under my pillow, my face flaming bright red.
A low chuckle has just made me realize that Quill spent the night in bed with me. He went out for a while after I told him about Ray, but then he clambered back in through my window later, and spent at least an hour making me come pretty much nonstop. Then he folded me to him, and I fell asleep in his arms.
I had expected him to leave at some point, but he’s still lying beside me, his arm wrapped around my waist, shaking with laughter.
“Wake up time, Pumpkin,” he croons, making me both shiver with desire, and want to disappear underground. “Does your dad not realize you’re a high school senior?”
“Well, itiswake up time,” I mumble defensively.
“It’s cute,” he breathes, nudging the pillow away from me. “You’recute.”
“And you’re weird,” I groan, flipping over to face the other side, mainly so my morning breath doesn’t assault his nostrils.
He clearly doesn’t care about my bad breath, though, since he climbs over me and plants a kiss on my lips. That kiss turns into another one, and another one, until he’s lying on top of me, trapping me between himself and the mattress.
Then he rains down kisses, licks and bites all down my neck.I moan when he reaches my pajamas, flipping up my shirt and continuing his downward path to my breasts. He rolls my nipples around in his mouth, biting them and then licking over the burn. His mouth continues to trail down my stomach, stopping between my thighs.
“Ooh, yes, Quill,” I murmur, as he gives my slit a long, wet lick. “Yes,please.”
“Huh? Did you say something, pumpkin?” asks my clueless dad on the other side of the door.
I groan, hiding my face behind my hands. Oh God, why is he so embarrassing?
Quill is back to chuckling between my legs. I try to clamp them shut, but he positions himself between them, forcing them open, while his hands pull my hands away from my face. He seems to really enjoy my embarrassment. Which only serves to make me redder than ever.
