at the safe house, gripping her hand.
    “What?” She looked to Shawn and Micah in disbelief. But really, how did she not know that?
    “Sweetheart …” Shawn leaned forward with both hands clasped, brow full of tenderness. “He’s done a lot of bad things.”
    As true as that was, Micah felt dirtier than ever, guiltier than ever, stupider than ever, while sitting there with her kissing cousin explaining how horrible he was. He knew he’d have to answer for his crimes. Sarah stared at him, a look of betrayal in her eyes.
    Micah stood, suddenly unable to breathe. “Prison is the last thing on my mind, Sarah. Forgive me.” He paced and rubbed the back of his neck. “Getting you out alive and keeping you that way is what’s important.”
    She gasped, a sound of offended incredulity and Micah spun to her. “There was never a get out of jail free card in this. Getting out of hell was priority number one. Living through that was priority number two. Remaining alive after that, is now priority number three.”
    Her face slowly morphed with the horror of that end reality. But to him, prison was paradise. What he worried about was how very impossible staying alive was likely going to be.
    “We’ll try and get his sentence as shortened as we can, sweetheart.” Shawn went to the couch and sat next to her, pulling her into an embrace then hit Micah with a glare. “The question is, does he deserve less for dragging you into this hell.”
    Micah stared at him, speechless with a guilt that left him furious. He hated that the bastard was right. Micah went back to pacing unable to stomach the constant verbal and physical affection Shawn lavished on Sarah. And Sarah’s naïve “ it’s not his fault” earned him monster of the millennia award, delivered straight from the hate filled stare of her sweet kissing cousin.
    ***
    Seven days in hell it felt like. A noose tightening around them. Stuck at a safe house feeling about as safe as a rat in the devil’s laboratory. They were being watched. Baited. Fed. Fattened. For the slaughter.
    At least Sarah was healing. Thank God. But Micah wanted her in a vicious way. His body hurt, his mind and soul groaned in silent agony not being able to make love to her the way he wanted. He needed to obliterate her with passion and sear her sweet spirit to his. He slept wanting her, he woke wanting her, his entire existence was saturated with the dire need for her. He couldn’t look at her without seeing her thighs open wide before him, without smelling her secrets scarred into his psyche, hearing her moans, feeling her desperate cries against his lips.
    And then Shawn’s little evil confession happened. Fury slithered into his body as he braced his palms on the bathroom shower wall, recalling her cousin’s blasphemous words. “ Sarah and I were tight, ” he’d said.
    Micah had managed a halfway civil chuckle. “ Kissing cousins? ”
    Shawn hit him with, “A lot more than that. But, it was a long time ago. ”
    Those words ate through his core like an acid. No matter how he told himself she didn’t want him or love him and that it didn’t matter, Micah was burning. He planned on having sessions about it with Sarah when she was feeling better. Problem was, her kissing cousin clearly still had the hots for her. It brought out monsters in Micah straight from hell. The need to kill him grew with his need to claim Sarah in dominance like some animal. Not exactly something he should do to a woman in a fucking arm sling while running from Satan’s passé.
    And dear God, that bitch Tabitha that came along like a spider, aka Shawn’s partner. The whore slowly gnawed away his threadbare control. Why was she even there? What was the point? She made him want Sarah more than anything. Walking around hanging out of everything she wore and openly flirting with him. It made Sarah so insecure, which made Micah need to love her harder. Sarah thought her insecurity wasn’t showing but Micah saw the
