Helanie:
"You've gone crazy. Even if you don't believe me, you said you didn't want to do it anymore," I kept yapping nonstop while Maximus dragged me back to Rune's mansion with him. Rune's guards said they wanted us in his bed before he lost his mind, but since Maximus was clearly on board, they let him handle me.
But I was in shock and panicking. Maximus was supposed to remember everything — why didn't he?
"Maximus, I'd rather kill myself or Rune, than do it," I yelled as he dragged me into Rune's bedroom where everything was set up for the night. By everything, I mean candles lit, wine, and sex toys on the table.
The guards didn't come inside with us. As Maximus made me sit down on the bed, he bent down and cupped my face hard in his hand.
"That's what we have to do to get out of here," he whispered into my face, and my body started to relax.
"You—," I began, and he blinked his eyes tightly.
