A/N: ooo...a new POV approaches...enter: JONATHAN 🙊😯

Jonathan took a deep breath as he walked out of the doors of the state prison. A smile spread over his lips as he eyed his little brother Adam and his new little kitten that got him his freedom.

Clara - no, Ciara. Fuck, her name doesn't matter. The only one that does is the kitten that got away.

"Jonathan! It's good to see you out of chains," Adam grinned as he wrapped an arm around his shoulders.

"It feels good to be out of that orange jumpsuit," he chuckled and his eyes slid to Ciara. "Thank you for doing what you did."

"You're welcome, Master. I'm glad I could be of service," she smiled and he enjoyed that bit of fear behind those brown eyes.

"I see you've settled into your role, but you don't need to call me that outside of the playhouse," he grinned as he grabbed her chin and kissed her full on the lips. He wrapped his arm around her waist and held her tight when she tried to squirm away from him. "I see you have some more learning to do, but I'm a man of my word and I owe you my part of this bargain."

"Y-yes, you do," she whispered.

He looked away from her to Adam, "I want to see her."

"We'll get to that, but mom and dad would like to see you first."

Jonathan rolled his eyes. He had far more pressing matters to attend to before he sat around with his parents and pretended he was 'fixed'. It had been three years since he'd seen Nadia's beautiful face, but he spent every moment thinking about her...

And what I'll do to that body when she's mine again.

"Fine. Let's get that over with and then I want to see my precious little kitten," he looked at Ciara, " you can tell me more about Luca and how I fit into your plan to get him back."

"So, your diabolical plan to get your ex back is for me to distract Nadia from him? That's it. I thought you'd have come up with something better than that," Jonathan scoffed.

"I don't understand what you mean? What else can I do?" Ciara huffed.

"Nadia isn't stupid and if I understand Luca correctly, he isn't either. They'll be expecting something like that and don't get me wrong I have no probably distracting her, but I want her to be mine permanently. I don't want Luca or his agents getting in the way of that."

"I thought you might say that. The only way for that to happen is to blackmail Luca with the S.A.F.. The Ringleader would be pleased with both of you if you managed to get a Rodawson heir back into the society," Adam said as he drove down the familiar road to Jonathan's family estate.

"That's right, he's got special blue blood," Jonathan murmured. "I like the idea of blackmail and I need something to get me back in the good graces of S.A.F. without them knowing about Nadia," Jonathan nodded as Adam parked the car in front of his home. He looked at the cream colored mansion and a smile graced his lips.

It's so good to be free.

He turned around to look at Ciara in the back seat. He slid his hand over her knee and a warm smile tugged at his lips, "I'll get him back for you and I promise you'll be free of me."

"Thank you, Jonathan. That means so much to me."

"Mm-hm," he squeezed her knee, "and when that happens, you better not think of running away from the S.A.F. Your freedom from me relies on your loyalty to the society. Do you understand?"

"Y-yes, I understand. I'm loyal to S.A.F." she nodded and he released her knee.

"Good. Now, let's be a happy couple for my parents," he smiled and winked at her as he got out of the car.

He thread his fingers through hers as they walked up the steps to his home. He needed Ciara to hold her end of the bargain and keep herself and Luca in the society. His fucking freedom depended on that too. The syndicate wouldn't care about his 'affliction' for his black beauty if they had a Rodawson to groom again.

No one would care about the promising Hatch boy anymore and he would be free to control and devour Nadia like he wanted. A dazzling smile broke across his face as he hugged his mother and father.

She was the only woman that captivated him like that. He loved all his kittens, but Nadia. She was the one he could never get enough of.

I'll have my favorite little kitten again, but this time I'll chain her to my side and never let her go. and never let her go.
