Her words landed like a shotgun shell fired point blank into my chest, leaving me nothing more than a stringy mess of muscle and tissue, allowing her to see right through to my heart, or more so, what remained of it. I was a man with a lab number where my soulshouldbe, we all were, and she had the gall to suggest we were justlost?
For years, I’d believed a bride could fix us, and even when seeing Lux’s file, I assumedshemight be able to do it. But, as this night wore on, the idea of her felt like a saw slowly slicing through a tree. The cut would start slowly but ended ina deafening boom that could be heard for miles–the kind that reduced the tree to a stump.
I wasn’treadyto be a stump.
I pushed inside of her slowly, with far too much care for what I was. Her cunt gripped me with an almost unbearable heat, one that burnt away what little remained of my good intentions.
“You think we're lost?” I glowered, slipping out of her slowly before slamming in full force. She turned away and hissed out a pathetic breath, leaving me to grip her chin and force her to look at me, to see the monster she denied existed. “You think that the four men who’ve been terrorizing youallnight are justlost?”
I thrust in again, this time her hiss turned into more of a cry, her fingers gripped the desk so hard her knuckles turned white.
“No, Little Light, we’re notlost. We’re fucked in the head. We are whattheywanted us to be,” I grumbled. “They rearranged us, piece by piece. They cut us open and turned us inside out to shape us into whattheywanted. They rewired us and drowned us in the life they wanted us to become. Why don’t youseethat?”
I stopped thrusting, and her lips parted with a quivering breath. My chest heaved, and I tightened my grip.
“Answer me, Lux.”
“If you’ve been rewired once, why can’t you do it again?” Her eyes never left mine, and it was in that moment that the fear buzzing under her skin, like a bunch of angry wasps, disappeared, leaving her to sit tall.
But, the insects didn’t disappear into thin air, instead, they bit into me, burrowed into my skin and devoured the sane parts of my psyche.Fearcoiled in my stomach, wrapping around the white hot arousal like an anaconda. My cock twitched, still buried to the hilt.
“You think it’s that fuckingeasy?” I snapped, each word punctuated by a brutal thrust, one that stole Lux’s breath and made her toes curl against my legs.
My hand slipped from her chin to her stomach, and I pressed in hard enough to feel as my length ruined that tight little cunt of hers. My lips parted just enough for me to pant through my teeth.
I didn’t give her a chance to answer, part of me feared what she said next would make far too much sense. I gripped her by the hips and pulled her off the desk before crashing into my high-backed chair. I lifted the armrests, making room for two in the spacenormallyreserved for work.
Her eyes flickered toward the door, and rage burned through me at the thought that Lux would up and run after shattering my brain.
I gripped her by the waist and forced her to spin around before I slammed her back onto me.
She cried out as I impaled her. My cock was rather fond of its new home, and it didn’t need any invitation to enter. Her pussy clenched around me so tight that I nearly blacked out. A pathetic moan left my lips, and I thrusted into her violently, punishing her for forcing me to make such an embarrassing sound.
“Mine,” I growled, looping my arms under hers, locking her in place. “You want to fuck with my head and then think about escaping?”
My mouth found her shoulder, and I barely restrained myself from sinking my teeth into her pulse. Instead, I kissed the space, and she tilted her head to the side, making more room for me.
“You think you’re going to say that shit and then disappear with a suitcase full of blood money?” I rasped right next to her ear.
Her hips rolled against mine, her arousal dripped out onto my thighs. The frantic sound of our breathing and the slap of skin on skin filled the room.
“You think I’m going to let yousurviveandleave, like none of us ever touched you?” I slid one of my hands down her body,cupping her breasts before resting it on her belly. My fingers splayed wide across the soft surface. “Ifyou make it out of here, you’renevergetting rid of me.”
I thrust again, this time harder.
“You feel that, Little Light?” I hissed, as my teeth dragged along her neck.
Just the barest whisper of my fangs caused blood to well to the surface. I ran my tongue over the scrape, savoring the copper of her blood. She hissed in pain, squirming against me, but her walls constricted once more, like her bodyknewwho she belonged to, even if Lux herself didn’t know it yet.
Bite her.
Not yet.
“I’m going to fill you withme.” My lips brushed the shell of her ear. “You’reminenow. You’ll carry my child, you’ll grow round for me. And I will fuckingfind you Lux.”
Heat surged through my body, and my vision blurred. A guttural sound started low in my chest, and it was all I could do not to come at the idea of Lux Rhodes, heavy with my child. Her tits would grow, her stomach would round, and she would beundeniablymarked as mine. I’d let her think she got away for a while.
She wouldn’t die like the rest of the victors. Instead, I’d wait until she felt safe and drag her back. It didn’t matter if she kicked or screamed; she belonged tome.Her back arched into me, and her moans slightly unraveled, leaving the sounds breathy and full of need.
