âLet go of the knife,â he murmured, and I did. I didnât even hesitate. Be strong. I swallowed hard, reminding myself of the camera. Iâd take my pride to the grave with me.
âJust get it over with, Tristan,â I said in disgust.
âR**e me. Iâm done playing your sick game. Iâm not a chess piece.â
âNot like a wh**e on a stained mattress.â He smiled, and it was worse than any glare or threat. He brought his mouth down until his lips touched mine lightly, just barely, and yet a current shot through me.
âI havenât started playing, and you arenât a mere chess piece. You are the queen.â
âAnd what are you in this game of chess?â I whispered harshly, still lying on the mattress.
âIâm the king.â
