Book 2 Chapter 21
Benjamin
*Why?*
That’s all I could say. Why would Colton’s father want me dead. I bent down to clean up the glass. I let the tears fall. So much pain spread through my chest.
“Benjamin?” Chloe squeezed my shoulder and sighed.
“Chloe, my parents—” I choked, holding back a sob.
“Benjamin, I’m so sorry.”
I shook my head, not wanting to believe Mr. Davenport wanted me dead.
*Why?*
“Come on, Benjamin. Let me take care of you.”
I stood up and wrapped my arms around her waist, burying my face into her neck. She ran her fingers through my hair and whispered, “Shh, Master, I’ve got you.”
I looked up, defeated and broken from the news. “I have to know why. I need to know why he wanted me dead.”

Jenna
I found Colton in the bedroom with his head in his hands. Something happened, and it had to do with Benjamin’s parents and Colton’s father. I walked slowly, unsure if I should stay to comfort him.
*Should I tell him it would be okay?
That I was here for him?*
I cupped his face, “Colton, what happened?”
“Jenna, baby, no matter what I do—I turn everything to shit.”
“That’s not true. I’m here.”
“Benjamin, I-I—”
“Look at me, baby. Take a deep breath."
Colton inhaled and exhaled. Tears leaked from his eyes as he croaked out. “My father— he killed Benjamin’s parents.”
He pressed his cheek against my belly, making my heart break. I wrapped my arms around the back of his neck and tried to comfort him the best I could. “It’s not your fault. It was—”
“No!” he cried out in frustration, “I could’ve stopped him—stopped my father from attempting to murder Benjamin.”
“What?”
“That’s right, it wasn’t his parents that he was trying to kill. It was Benjamin.”
This wasn’t the strong and fierce Colton I knew. This was someone else. A broken man who felt responsible for something that was out of his reach. I heard a soft knock at the door, but I ignored it. Colton needed me more than whoever was on the other side of the door.
“Why?” Colton whispered as he looked up with sad eyes.
“Why what?”
“Why are you so good to me when all I do is destroy everything?”
I shoved him back and straddled his waist, cupping his cheeks. “Because I love you. Now, are you going to push away those terrible thoughts, or am I going to have to fuck you until you believe me. I. Love. You.”
I closed the space and crushed my mouth to his, pouring out every emotion I could. Love. Lust. I wanted him. Wanted him to see that I loved him no matter what.
“Jenna, baby. I love you, too.”
I reached down and pulled down his pants, taking him in my hand. I stroked his member as our tongues clashed together. Like a damn hurricane, sweeping everything out of its path.
“Babe, slow down.” He breathed out as I stroked him faster.
“Tell me you’re worth it.”
“Yes, I’m worth it.” He groaned, jerking his hips.
“Tell me you’re a good man.”
“Yes!” Colton threw his head back, parting his lips.
His swelling member throbbed as I pumped him in my hand. Colton’s shallow breaths made me want him. Want his Daddy side to come out, but I pushed those thoughts away. This was about him right now.
I pulled my hand away and watched his face scrunch up in pain. His eyes darkened as he gripped my wrist. “You’re not finished yet, Babygirl. Finish Daddy off.”
I wrapped my fingers around his member and pumped him. Hard. Fast. From the base to the tip. Making him let out a breath and suck in one as I brought him closer to the edge.
“I’m going to come.” He moaned, guiding my hand. He spurted on his shirt as I continued to pump his cock. His hips jerked and his breaths slowed when he finally came down from his intense orgasm.
“Christ, baby, what’s gotten into you?” Colton asked, still breathing heavily.
“That, my love, is how much I love you.”

I stepped out of the bedroom with Colton and made our way to the kitchen. Benjamin was nursing a beer as he sat at the table. His eyes was red from crying, and his face held so much pain. I knew what needed to be done. Someone was going to have to pay Colton’s father a visit. I knew if either one of them went, it would be chaos. So, that left two other people. Either me or Chloe. I didn’t want to, but it had to be done.
Benjamin peered up to us and whispered, “I just don’t understand.”
“Benjamin, I have an idea. Maybe if—”
“No! Absolutely not.” Benjamin hissed, “I don’t want you to put the baby at risk.”
“Please, if you—”
“I’m with Benjamin on this. You’re not going near that monster. Look what happened the last time you faced him.”
“I just want to help.” I whispered.
“I know, but I can’t let you do this. We’ll find another way to find out.”
“Colton’s right, Jenna. We’ll find another way. Perhaps, I can visit him.” Benjamin agreed.
“Are you sure that’s a good idea?”
Benjamin shook his head, “It’s a terrible idea, but I have to know the truth.”
I sighed and leaned my head on Colton’s shoulder. “Okay, you’re right.”
Colton leaned down and whispered in my ear, making me freeze. “I’m going to go talk to my father with him.”
Fear gripped me, making tears roll down my cheeks. “No, I can’t lose you again.”
“You won’t baby, we’re going to bring someone with us. Someone that has a lot of power.”
“You already planned it.” It was meant to be a question, but came out a statement.
I asked, “Who is it?”
“A friend.” Colton replied, a smile ghosting his lips.
