He lets out a dark chuckle.
“Don’t think for one second, oh Shadow of Death, that I won’t—” My words are cut off by a gasp as Draven’s cock hits a spot deep inside me.
Pleasure shoots up my spine, and I have to move my hand from his throat to his shoulder so that I can dig my fingers into it hard in an effort to hold myself together as Draven thrusts into me, hitting that spot over and over again. A smirk shineson his lips. But I can’t even spare the effort to glare at the smug bastard, because pleasure thrums inside my whole body, making my brain feel like it’s melting.
My body jerks back and forth on the smooth sheets, and I careen towards an orgasm as the pent-up tension inside me soars.
Draven takes one hand from the mattress and slides it along the curve of my breast. Then he rolls my nipple between his fingers. A desperate moan spills from my lips. I gasp air into my lungs and squirm furiously underneath him as the mounting pleasure becomes almost unbearable.
He keeps fucking me hard and dominantly and completely without mercy. Exactly the way I want him to. As if I am, and always has been, his.
His cock hits that perfect spot inside me again at the same time as he pinches my hard and aching nipple.
Release explodes through me.
I gasp as pleasure sweeps through my veins, intense enough to make my legs shake. I dig my fingers into Draven’s muscular shoulder as he continues fucking me through the orgasm. Black spots dance before my eyes. I feel like my heart is going to give out.
Draven watches it all. Drinking it in. His eyes sear through me as he studies every emotion on my face, as if he is burning it into his mind forever.
With great effort, I manage to raise my free hand while my brain continues flickering with pleasure. I drag in a ragged breath and then slide my hand over Draven’s wing.
Pleasure pulses across his face, and a groan rips from deep within his chest, as he comes.
I continue caressing his wing while release crashes through his body as well. Desperate groans spill from his mouth. I stare at his face, completely transfixed.
I still can’t truly believe that I can manage to draw these moans and shudders and these raw emotions from him. It’s intoxicating. It makes me feel drunk with power.
When the final waves of pleasure have at last faded from our bodies, we just remain like that for another few seconds. My hand unmoving against his wing. His cock still buried deep inside me. His eyes on mine and mine on his. Our chests heave.
Then he leans down and kisses me so gently that my heart almost breaks all over again.
Pulling out, he twists sideways and then lies down on the bed next to me. But he doesn’t move to his side of the bed. And neither do I. Lying there beside him in the middle of the bed, I drag in deep breaths and try to convince myself that this didn’t mean anything. That I shouldn’t have done this. That we shouldn’t have done this.
Draven drapes his arm over my body and pulls me closer, holding me tightly against his warm body.
A small and broken whimper escapes my lips.
He rests his chin on the top of my head while he holds me close, as if he fears that I will disappear if he lets me go. Oh if he only knew how right he is. It’s only a matter of days now. Then I will be gone.
“I am a selfish person, Selena.” He lets out a long breath that ruffles my hair. “And as much as I wanted to make sure that you never won the Atonement Trials, I’m secretly glad that you were stubborn and brilliant enough to win it despite all my sabotaging.”
My heart slams against my ribs.
He draws in a deep breath, breathing me in, and tightens his arms around me. “Because it allowed me to have this time with you.”
Something very fragile inside my chest just cracks wide open, and I have to bite my bottom lip hard to stop the sound that almost makes it out of my mouth.
And all the while, I force my mind to keep repeating one sentence over and over again.
We are enemies.
We are enemies.
We are enemies.
CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN
We have a date. At last, after all my spying and sneaking around and all their plotting and scheming, we have finally decided when the heist is happening. During the grand ball that the Icehearts are hosting. Which is now only four days away.
