“Let go of the knife,” he murmured, and I did. I didn’t even hesitate. Be strong. I swallowed hard, reminding myself of the camera. I’d take my pride to the grave with me.

“Just get it over with, Tristan,” I said in disgust.

“R**e me. I’m done playing your sick game. I’m not a chess piece.”

“Not like a wh**e on a stained mattress.” 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.

“I haven’t started playing, and you aren’t a mere chess piece. You are the queen.”

“And what are you in this game of chess?” I whispered harshly, still lying on the mattress.

“I’m the king.”
