Harper said quickly. “Your life was in danger. You called us asking for help. Then what happened? Cartello got his claws in you? He made you a deal? He gave you money?”
“He cared about me,” I said. “He was the only one that ever cared about me. If you think I’m in trouble then you’re wrong, Mr. Harper. I’m exactly where I want to be.”
The agent let out a flabbergasted sigh and started for the door. “Whatever. I’m closing this line of enquiry. You are no longer our concern. When he gets bored of you and kills you, don’t come crawling to me.”
“I wouldn’t go out there just yet,” I warned him. “That large man in the hall will bite on my command, and god forbid that Vincent sees you.”
“I’ll take my chances,” he said.
“Stop,” I said, the word flat and sharp. An iron warning. He came to a halt, fear present in his eyes. “I won’t be a moment. There was only one thing I wanted. You wait here, and don’t move.”
I walked into my bedroom and found the overnight bag I had hastily packed, it was lying on the floor by my bed. I opened it up and pulled out the photograph of my grandmother. Nothing else mattered here. This was all I needed. When I stepped back into the entrance area I saw Harper standing in the same place.
“Goodbye Agent Harper,” I said. I closed the door behind me, leaving him standing in silence.
“Ready?” Wardorf said.
“All good.”
As I got back into the car Vincent was just finishing his call with Vigliati.
“How did it go?” I asked.
“Good,” he answered. “We’re going to meet in the next few weeks and discuss our options going forward. Did you get what you came here for?”
“Yeah. There was an Agent in the apartment, the same one I called. He wanted me to turn.”
Vincent raised an intrigued brow. “Wardorf didn’t catch that?”
“It was fine,” I said. “It wasn’t a problem to deal with him.”
“You could have left,” Vincent said. “They would have hidden you. You could divorce me. Testify against me. Put me away for a long time.”
“Why would I want to do that?” I said.
“Well, you wanted to do it once upon a time.”
The car started and we pulled onto the street. “Once upon a time feels like a different lifetime now.”
“So, you’re here to stay,” he said, putting his arm around me.
“How could I not be? You’re my master. I’m your slave. I’m chained to you.”
He leaned in and kissed me. “Til death do us part.”
Epilogue
Rachel
We were on his bed together, both naked, our bodies moving together in the silver moonlight. I was lying on my side while he gently fucked me from behind, his hands caressing my body and his mouth kissing mine.
A gentle sheen of sweat glistened over our naked bodies. We had to take things a little slower now, but we were still making sure we found time to show each other our appreciation. The slave inside of me was going a little stir crazy, she hadn’t been chained up or used properly since good news had come our way. Safety was the most important thing now.
Right now, this was Rachel’s time to shine. I had found a new role to play, but I could still be the woman at his side, and the woman that made love with him every night. He liked the change it had brought about in me, even though I couldn’t say I was happy with all the changes at first. I was curvier than ever; my breasts had grown three cup sizes and I thought I looked like a whale most of the time.
Vincent didn’t care though. He said I looked sexier than ever.
We came together on the bed, breath racing from our noses as we kissed each other deeply. Although this relationship had started with hard and passionate fucking we had slowly evolved and adapted. Now we made love. It was deep, it was intense, and it was utterly amazing.
Vincent gave me the gentlest of spanks just to let me know that old side of him was still there. In a few months we could go back to the rough and rumble that we both loved so much, but for now I was happy taking things slower with him.
Fast and rough, slow and sweet.
It was all amazing to me.
We climbed out of bed, a fresh night ahead of us. The world out there was waiting to be conquered, and the empire was ours for the taking. Vincent and I always woke up and made love and after that we showered together and got ready to tackle another night in this criminal world.
“Easy,” he said while helping me up from the bed. “You don’t have to rush. You don’t even have to come with me today. You need to start thinking about resting more now.”
“I will rest soon,” I said. “I still feel fine at the moment.”
He nodded and we went to shower again. Once we were dry and dressed, we prepared to head downstairs and meet with Vincent’s men. A change was coming in this world, and things were about to get real.
Vincent had finally got his meeting with Xavier Vigliati a few weeks after I’d turned down the feds for a final time. After all the waiting the meet turned out to be a dud. Vigliati had come to the meeting with completely unrealistic expectations. He wasn’t proposing a merger at all, he didn’t want an alliance between two families.
He wanted Vincent to bend the knee and worship him like a bitch.
My man was a king.
He didn’t bow to anyone.
Vigliati had taken great offence to Vincent’s refusal, and when Vincent walked away the old bastard had pretty much thrown his hat into the ring, declaring war against the Cartello family and all those that supported us.
He wanted us to shrink away. He wanted us to hide in the shadows.
That wasn’t going to happen.
Vincent and I had plans in motion for a while now, and I suspected that his men might have an idea what was coming, but today was the day we were going to officially declare war. Too long we had waited for an ally to help, only for them to betray Vincent and disrespect him.
The Cartello family wasn’t going to wait any longer, we would take what we wanted, and emerge from this world as victors over the ashes.
“You’re sure you want to do this?” Vincent said, brushing his hand down my back. We looked at ourselves in the mirror before leaving the room. I was wearing a blood-red gown accented with floral black panels. The ruby choker was on my neck and a huge diamond glittered on my finger. “War is dangerous.”
“And letting others stomp all over us is even more dangerous. This is what Vigliati wanted, so this is what he gets. I know we will win. We will be the victors. Our child won’t be born in this world under the command of a tyrant like that.”
I smoothed my hand over my round belly and felt the power coursing through me. Vincent’s heir was inside me. My child. His child. Our future.
My whole life had been spent cowering in the shadows of others. It took everything I had to realize my strength was in those shadows. Now I had that strength, and a beautiful man at my side. I wasn’t going to run away any longer.
We were going to stand and fight.
I had never felt better.
“I love you,” he said to me.
“I love you too.”
My heart was his forever. Our souls were always connected.
I was chained.
