“A-Asshole…” I wheeze.
“Tell me why.”
I’m blinking rapidly, still trying tofindoxygen to fill my depleted lungs when I bare my teeth at him. “What is this?! Do you think I’d just…” My words trail off.
This isn’t a moment for me to banter with him or fight, because I can tell he isn’t playing a game with me. He is inpain. I can feel it, and it hurts me so badly that I could vomit from its intensity.
“Belial tore my clothes off, and was going to punish me; you have an imagination, use it... but he didn’t, Kai, I promise it didn’t get that far.”
His swallow is audible. “Damn them.” The pain in his voice has fire burning behind my eyes. “You aremine, what don’t they get?!”
“I know…” I whisper. “I…” Now I’m more terrified to tell him exactly what I gave.
Will that be the knife that cuts our string that tethers us together?
A pit forms in the middle of my sternum, and it causes my body to ache.
A rough grip takes the back of my neck and his mouth crashes against mine with such force that our teeth collide. His tongue is abrasive, but I open without hesitation to let him in. My bloody hands cradle his neck andbeghim not to let me go.
I’m so sorry.
He grabs under my arms to lift me, my legs circling his hips without a conscious thought. “Never give what’s mine away,” he says between turning his head to deepen our growing kiss. His hips push hard against mine, and a low whimper rolls from my throat.
When he threads his fingers through my hair and tears us apart, I hiss through clenched teeth at his force. “Never leave me again. Never…” My legs tighten as he moves subtly, the sound of a zipper accompanying the action, and before too long, pressure pushes against my cunt. “Or I’ll make you suffer, Xera.” In a single thrust, the tip of his cock meets my wall, breaking right through to fit inside me.
My chest caves as I throw my head back and scream. “Hang you out to dry.” He pushes me roughly against the tree and keeps himself sheathed inside me. “Leave you chained toourbed until you beg me for forgiveness.”
No comments on how wet he had made me with his dominance.
No praise for taking him.
No.Nothingbut pure, raw, passion for getting his point across.
I choke. “P-Please, Kai?—”
“I’ll hog tie you with those chains you wereso fucking sureyou’d get out of,” he says, cutting my plea off. His breath fans against my lips as he continues, “You will never leave me again, Xeraphine Nora, and if you do, I swear you’ll regret it.”
I try to move my hips, urging him on, but he has me pinned. My mind races, searching for something—anything—I can rip off to gain the upper hand, butfuck me, I can’t breathe, let alone think. The pain in my hips as he stretches me has me whimpering.
“Tell me you understand.”
“Fuck you,” I grit through my teeth. “You’d have—” He sinks in his fangs right into my neck and I scream at the top of my lungs at how rough he is. Both of my hands grip around his shoulders, my nails piercing into his skin. “You’d have died!”
His grip on my hair tightens and I swear I hear some rip from my scalp.
“Please, I can’t…” The moment my blood is pouring down his throat, my eyes roll back into my head. “Kai.” His name draws out slowly, and with it, his cock.
He doesn’t go far, because he thrusts so hard my back scrapes against the rough bark.
Tearing away from me he grabs my cheeks and turns me to face him. “You willnevertake my choice away from me again.”
My heart stutters.
“I choose you, and you taking that away from me pisses me off,” he continues. “If you pull that shit again…”
Every part of me shakes and bumps roll across each inch of skin available to do so. Sickness creeps to my throat, and it is now I truly understand fear.
Fear ofmyself.
