His face breaks into a brilliant smile. “That would be

wonderful.”

The world is bleeding.

I don’t have time to form a response before he turns to

Adam. “Show her what she’s missing, would you?”

Adam answers a beat too late. “Sir?”

“That is an order, soldier.” Warner’s eyes are trained on

me, his lips twitching with suppressed amusement. “I’d like

to break this one. She’s a little too feisty for her own good.”

“You can’t touch me,” I spit through clenched teeth.

“Wrong,” he singsongs. He tosses Adam a pair of black

gloves. “You’re going to need these,” he says with a

conspiratorial whisper.

“You’re a monster.” My voice is too even, my body filled

with a sudden rage. “Why don’t you just kill me?”

“That, my dear, would be a waste.” He steps forward and I

realize his hands are carefully sheathed in white leather

gloves. He tips my chin up with one finger. “Besides, it’d be

a shame to lose such a pretty face.”

I try to snap my neck away from him but the same steeltoed

boot slams into my spine and Warner catches my face

in his grip. I suppress a scream. “Don’t struggle, love. You’ll

only make things more difficult for yourself.”

“I hope you rot in hell.”

Warner flexes his jaw. He holds up a hand to stop someone

from shooting me, kicking me in the spleen, cracking my

skull open, I have no idea. “You’re a fighter for the wrong

team.” He stands up straight. “But we can change that.

Adam,” he calls. “Don’t let her out of your sight. She’s your

charge now.”

“Yes, sir.”
