“Yeah, baby?” I asked, glancing over my shoulder.

“I love you too. I always have.”

“I know, baby doll. Eat up and get yourself together for me. Three doors down, enter your birthday as the code and be waiting for me when I get back.”

The smile that lifted her cheeks had me suppressing a laugh. I needed to get my head in the right place for what I had in store for her. I hadn’t forgotten about that punishment. Now I had to add trying to divorce me to the list. I didn’t know what the hell she was thinking, but this was death row. The only way out was if one of our makers called us up out of this bitch. Otherwise, we were locked in for the duration.

SAGE

Ten Years Ago . . .

My heart rate slowly returned to normal as I sat in KD’s lap with my head resting on his shoulder. Somewhere in my mind, I knew what had just happened was terribly wrong, but just for a moment, I allowed it to feel right. As a matter of fact, it felt perfect. Even the constant stinging on my ass where he’d hit me with the flogger felt heavenly. The ache helped keep my mind off reality.

He sat with his head thrown back and his eyes closed as he rubbed my ass with one hand and my back with the other. Lying on his hard body, smelling his cologne, and feeling his hands on me made me want to climb on for another ride.

The bulge beneath me said that he was ready and willing for round two just as much as I was. I hadn’t even put my clothes back on. All I had to do was climb on a quick ride. Once we left the basement, we never had to bring up what happened down here. I just wanted to experience it one or two or three more times. Why was this wrong again?

“I have some cream I can put on that,” he spoke, bringing me back to the moment.

“Hm?”

“Some cream, so you won’t bruise.”

“Oh, so this is something you do all the time?”

He chuckled. “It’s new.”

“I’m pregnant,” I blurted.

“Damn, that fast? I knew this shit was potent, but damn.” KD tittered and placed his hand on my stomach to be funny.

“I’m serious, K. I found out yesterday. That’s why I was such a wreck when I got here. I told Jaylen this morning, and he told me to get rid of the baby and let him know how much his half of the procedure is.”

“What the fuck?” he asked, almost throwing me out of his lap when he stood up.

I adjusted in my spot on the couch, pulling my legs under me as I looked up at him.

“Yeah, he had the nerve to say I was trying to trap him. Do you know how long he begged for me to give him a chance? Now that the heat is on, he wants to run. He’s such a freaking coward.”

“Don’t chase him, Sage. You don’t need him in your life for things to be OK. You know that.”

I sighed, ignoring his attempt to make me feel better. That wasn’t his job anymore. He had done his duty of getting my mind off my shit for a while. Now reality was setting in even more.

“My dad is going to kill me. Oh God. Who the hell is going to raise my baby once I’m dead?”

“You know Bash wouldn’t do that. If he does, I vow to take care of the kid.”

“I’m serious. I don’t even want to imagine how disappointed he’s gonna be when he finds out. That’s the worst thing. Inever wanted to let him down, and here I am fucking up my whole life. He’s already going out of his way for me as always. Sebastian has done nothing but good by me, and all I do is find new ways to fuck up. Eventually, he’s going to get fed up with my shit and wash his hands with me too. No wonder my mom left and never looked back,” I said, allowing the tears to seep from my eyes.

KD’s shoulders dropped as he eased onto the couch next to me. He brushed my hair out of my face and pulled me back into his lap.

“Don’t say that, Sage. You know that’s some bullshit.”

“No, it’s not. You know I found out she had another kid with her new man and started over like me and Supreme never existed. I never even told him. You see how easy it is for people to throw away the people they claim to love. All you have to do is make one mistake and you’re all alone again.”

The tears rushed down my face as KD pulled my head against his chest. I wanted to kill my boyfriend, well ex-boyfriend, Jaylen. We met a year ago when he was one of my dad’s prospects. He had been pushing up on me since he’d come up to visit for a meeting and realized that we went to the same college. After a few weeks, I gave in and let him take me out.
