I stand up and smirk at Eli, but River doesn’t let go of the cue and when he tugs on it, I spin to face him. His coal black hair is raked back, the sharp lines of his jaw devastating.God he’s beautiful. All stern and serious and so damn in control. I want to mess him up.
I let go of the cue and loop my arms around his neck. “You know this is torture for you too, right? Seeing me all flustered. Knowing it’s because of you.”
River scowls down at me before he looks over my shoulder and nods his head. A moment later the vibrator hits me harder than it has all night.Well, hello level twelve, you motherfucker.
I grip tight to River, my fingers latching on to the hair at the back of his neck. “Please, River,” I beg again. “Please.”
“Fuck it.” River snaps and scoops me up, hooking my legs around his waist as I bury my face in his shoulder. “Let’s go.”
River strides across the bar.
Eli calls Josh’s name and a set of keys flies through the air. “Thanks, bud.”
They take me to the back room Josh uses as an office and River sets me down on my feet.
He looks behind me and the toy cuts off.
I stumble forward, my hands grasping at River’s shirt as I catch my breath.
He tilts my chin up with the side of his finger. “Tell me what you want.”
I stare into the depths of his eyes, my body tingling all over, phantom vibrations aching my core. “I wantyou.”
He gives a sharp shake of his head. “Not good enough. You already have me. You will always have me. Say it, Freya.”
I squeeze my eyes shut. River holds me in place when all I want to do is climb him. I know what I need but saying it is proving harder than I anticipated. Letting other people in isn’t exactly my forte but I don’t think I’ve ever been this turned on in my life and I’m just desperate and needy enough to forget about being stubborn.
I draw in a breath through my nose and open my eyes, my gaze colliding with River’s. “I want you to take control. I want you to dominate me.” I let go of his shirt and curl my hand around the nape of his neck. “I want you to fuck me like you own me.”
Lightning strikes in River’s eyes and his lips crash into mine. The heat of his mouth flames against my already overheated skin and I let it consume me.
My fingers twist in the short hairs at the back of his neck and I arch into him as he dominates me with a mere kiss.
I whimper when he comes up for air. His hair is roughed up, his chest rising, and I know I affect him as much as he affects me, but he does what I asked and keeps a firm grasp of the control I’ve gifted him.
“Hold her.”
Oz and Eli take an arm each and drag me back to the wall, locking my shoulders and wrists against the cool surface. River stalks towards me and I tug against their hold, just to see if I can.
River smirks.
I’m locked down tight and the pressure against my wrists sends shivers through my body.
“Idoown you, Freya.” River takes off my pants. He keeps his gaze on me as he slowly pulls the toy from my pussy, making my eyes flutter. “Just as you own each of us.”
I’ve spent the last two hours internally cursing that damn toy but now it’s gone I feel agonizingly empty. “River…”
“Shh. I’ve got you, darling.” His belt whispers as he pulls it free and loops it around my neck. He tightens it till the leather is flush against my throat and he can tug on the tail of the belt.
My breathing picks up.
“I understand why you ran, Freya, but we don’t exist without you. All of us would wake up each day and choose to risk our lives if it meant we could spend that day with you. And I will tell you that as many times as you need to hear it to believe it.”
River loops the remaining length of the belt around his fist and pulls tight. “But in the end, Freya, it doesn’t matter if you believe it or not, you are already ours. We already own you.”
His words crash into me as River frees himself from his pants.
I try to look down, but he tugs on my new leash.
