out , showing me that she wanted it. Standing at the side of the bed, staring at her, another urge slammed into me and rewrote the sexual dominance script burning in my head.
    I tos sed the ties and scooped her up in my arms. She stared at me, curious, but still eager and submissive as I made my way to the love seat. Her cheeks flushed as I sat and her lips parted in anticipation. I pulled her close to me and guided her head to my shoulder.
    She gave a delicate moan and snuggled into my body.
    Fuck. My heart slammed in my chest as she wrapped her arms around my neck and pressed her face into my shoulder. I stroked her, beginning at her head, gliding worshipful fingers down her curled up body then back up again.
    I fought the wave of agony crushing me. I just…fucking needed so bad to climb inside her. Save her from the ghosts of her past. "I got you, love." I rubbed my face along hers and pressed her as tight as I could to my body. "You're mine. You're safe." It was my promise to her, and my declaration of war on whatever demons that dared keep her from me. Keep her from my love.

    The next morning, I watched Tara while she slept, stroking the hair next to her face. God. She was fucking beautiful. So beautiful. Look at her. Fucking angel in sleep
    A soft knock sounded on the door and I turned and looked at it, willing whoever it was to go away.
    They knocked again and Tara moaned softly. I looked down in time to see her snuggle her face into my chest. The sight of it brought a profound revelation. Fucking wow. This… this is how she should always wake up. With me. In my arms.
    " What are you doing?" Her whisper held humor.
    I stroked along her side and hip with careful fingers. "Watching you."
    Her lips smiled against my chest and I couldn 't keep my own grin back at how fucking awesome that felt. "Somebody is knocking." She slid her mouth and nose against me.
    " I fucking know. I want to kill them," I whispered softly.
    She giggled as they knocked again, harder.
    I laid a kiss on her forehead and growled as I sat up. "Coming," I yelled. "Yet not. Get dressed, love." I looked over my shoulder, longing for every bit of her silky skin. When she got her robe on, I opened the door to find Steve standing there with wide eyes and scary grin on, clutching a laptop to his chest with one hand, coffee with the other. "The scores for the rounds so far are being posted live," he whispered. "You'll want to see them."
    My gut tensed at how his tone indicated the exact opposite. I stepped aside with a sigh of dread.
    "Good morning sunshine," he literally sang in his strong soprano voice.
    Tara nodded and tossed a wave, pushing hair behind her ear as he set up on the small dining table.
    Tara met my gaze and I winked at her, seeing the look of worry in her face. Premonition? She had to know her first domination was an epic fail.
    Steve tapped at his keyboard, mumbling. "Aaaaaaand here are the current scores for the teams." He pointed to the screen. "That would be us. And that…" He singled out a number, "would be the score for your first demon domination."
    Tara angled her head. "Oh. Two hundred and fifty. That's…that isn't bad, right?"
    " These are the others' scores." Steve scrolled down. "The highest score is one thousand."
    " What!? One thousand? " She gasped and looked at me like she were clueless. And judging by her face, she was.
    " Sweetheart—"
    " Don't!" her hand shot out at me. "Do not even say it, I dominated that first mission. You saw, I went in there, I-I-I laid it all out and I forgave him. I mean what do they want from me? Shoot him? Because I could if that's what they want, but that doesn't really seem like dominating a demon." She finished her heated rant with a wild look on her face.
    " Well," Steve nearly whispered, "it would seem the audience is scoring the success of the main domination events."
    " Ugh!" Tara went to pacing and chewing her thumbnail. "No wonder ! The audience isn't qualified to judge
