“I can feel my cock inside of you,” Lorcan rasped. “Claiming every part of you.”
I cried out as my orgasm hit me, and Lorcan let out a harsh shout. His cock expanded inside of me, making me see stars for a second. I shuddered, my clit throbbing fiercely.
My head fell back on his shoulder, completely overwhelmed. For a second Lorcan pressed his face into my hair. It was strange being this close to him now, to hear his heartbeat, feel his warmth. Too soon, Lorcan stepped back and pulled his cock out of me. I winced at the sharp pain. Lorcan loosened the knot keeping me chained to the ceiling. The rope fell and suddenly I was free. My legs buckled and I dropped to the floor. My calves were shaking, not just from my orgasm but also from the cold and the flood of emotions. Lorcan zipped up his pants while I tried to get my bearings. When I finally stood, my legs were shaking. I could feel Lorcan’s release run out of me, and suddenly I felt hollow. Lorcan took out his wallet and tossed a wad of cash at me.
My eyes grew wide with indignation and shock. Was he really paying me for what had just happened? “We’re married.”
“Buy yourself a one-way ticket back to Dublin. I don’t want to see you in New York again. I’ll send you divorce papers to sign. Consider this fuck and your life my wedding gift to you.”
I couldn’t believe what he was saying. I always thought I would have to flee from New York and hide from Lorcan to escape our marriage. Now he was letting me free, just like that?
The worst thing was, I didn’t want him to drop me like I meant nothing. I was confused and not sure what I was feeling anymore. These last few months of searching for Imogen and becoming a part of Lorcan’s brutal world had completely messed with my head. It was frightening. Our time with Finn had changed things. I saw a side of Lorcan I hadn’t believed existed. Few people had ever been so gentle with Finn while treating him like a normal kid.
“You’re sending me away?”
“Would you prefer if I do what I usually do with traitors?”
“I didn’t tell them anything. I just wanted to find Imogen. I still need to find her. You can’t just send me away.”
Lorcan stalked closer, eyes blazing with fury. “I can and I will, and you better take this offer. You’re damn lucky, Aislinn.” Now wasn’t the time to argue with Lorcan. He was furious, for good reason.
I grabbed my dress and quickly put it on but it was ruined. Lorcan moved toward a row of steel lockers I hadn’t noticed before and removed cargo pants and a checkered shirt from it. “These are Nollaigh’s. He’s thin as a stick. They should fit.”
He flung the clothes at me, and I barely caught them. I felt like bawling. I was completely overwhelmed by the situation.
When I was dressed, Lorcan picked up his phone. “Get her now.”
Five minutes later, the longest five minutes in my life because every second in Lorcan’s rage-filled presence made me feel guiltier, Seamus entered the hall. If he was surprised that I was still in one piece, he didn’t show it. Maybe Lorcan had shared his plans with him. I didn’t even care that I wasn’t wearing panties and socks. The clothes covered everything I wanted covered, and I was still in a state of shock when Seamus led me outside toward his car. Lorcan had his back turned to me as if he didn’t want to see me. Was this our goodbye? Lorcan had been such a crucial part of my life these last few months…
I couldn’t believe that only a few months had passed. It felt as if I’d become a new person in that short time.
Seamus didn’t speak as he took me away. The low rumble of the car filled the uncomfortable silence. I soon realized that we weren’t heading toward the apartment. “Where are you taking me?”
“To Gulliver’s. After we searched your belongings for hints about your betrayal, we sent them over to your uncle. You’ll stay with him until your flight leaves tomorrow morning.”
“So soon?” I whispered, shocked.
“You have no business in New York anymore.”
“But my sister—”
“Listen to my advice for once. Teturn to Dublin and forget everything that happened here. Your sister is a grown-up. You should save yourself. You’re lucky Lorcan didn’t kill you.”
I pressed my lips together. I couldn’t return to Dublin like this. Without Imogen. Without having talked to her at least once. And part of me wondered if I’d miss Lorcan. It was strange to consider. I never wanted our marriage. I despised what he did. And yet part of me still couldn’t believe he just gave me up like that, as if I meant nothing to him.
