I chuckle, the sound breathy as his fingers brush over my nipple again. "Because you're a possessive monster."
"Yes." His eyes meet mine. "I am."
We’re quiet for a moment.
“So what happened to Mr. Wonderful?” he asks, not even attempting to hide his jealousy.
“Nothing. Our relationship simply petered out. The following year, we had different class schedules. We barely saw one another.” I pause, then add, “Love dies if you don’t feed it.”
Nikolai is quiet. But his fingertips keep moving as he thinks.
“What are you thinking about?” I ask.
“The many different ways I can kill him.”
I laugh. “You really are a jealous guy, huh?”
“Murderously so.”
I can't focus on words anymore. Not with his fingers working their magic on my nipple. Not with his body pressed against mine, all hard and warm and perfect.
Instead of answering, I grab his wrist and guide his hand lower. Between my legs. Where I'm already wet and achy for him.
His eyes darken with hunger as his fingers slide through my wetness.
In one fluid motion, he tosses the blanket aside and lifts me into his arms. I wrap my legs around his waist and feel the hard length of him pressed exactly where I want it to be pressed.
I start to laugh. “What are you doing?”
"Taking you to my bedroom where I’m going to fuck every man from your memory," he says against my mouth. "And I’m going to keep fucking you until no one else exists but me."

NIKOLAI
Fuck, I need her.
She’s so damn beautiful and perfect. And who the fucking hell was that guy in college?
And why the fuck does the idea of him or any man make me want to blow up the entire fucking world?
I bend and suck one perfect nipple into my mouth, and her whole body arches.
She moans, and I feel it all the way along my cock.
Fuck.
She doesn’t know what she does to me.
My cock sways thick and heavy between my thighs, aching to be inside her.
“You want this?” I ask, grabbing the base of it in my hand.
Holly nods fast, wide-eyed. “I want everything.”
I crawl over her, dragging her wrists above her head and my mouth finds hers again.
Then I push into her and she cries out.
